《今日靈修默想》:「主所應許的尚未成就,有人以為祂是躭延,其實不是躭延,乃是寬容你們,不願有一人沉淪,乃願人人都悔改。」(彼後3:9)

默想一:神不願一人沉淪是說明什麼?表明神對罪人的心意是願意每一個人都能悔改。另一方面,祂給基督徒機會,要他們在趁主未來之前,儘量引領人悔改歸向主,才不至於在那一日不至空手見主。

默想二:基督徒可等到退休了才來服事主嗎?不是等的問題,乃是明天不在你的手裡。此時此刻能服事主是榮耀的特權,神要我們重視與珍惜『每日』的價值,與『現在』的機會。

禱告:感謝天父上帝,因袮是昨日、今日,也是永遠的神。求袮教導我如何數算自己的日子,好叫我得著智慧的心。讓我們體會袮的心意,關心袮關心的,愛袮所愛的,傳袮所傳的。奉主耶穌的名禱告,阿們!

《Today’s spiritual meditation》:  “he Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” (2Pe 3:9)

Meditation one: What does God mean that He does not want anyone to perish? It shows that God’s intention for sinners is that everyone can come to repentance. On the other hand, , He gives Christians the opportunity to lead people to repent and return to the Lord before the Lord’s second come so on that day will not face the Lord empty-handed.

Meditation two: Can Christians wait until their retirement to serve the Lord? It is not a matter of waiting, instead that tomorrow is not in your hands. At every moment, it is a glorious privilege to serve the Lord. God wants us to regard and cherish the value of “each day” and the opportunity of “now”.

Prayer: Thank God heavenly Father because You are the same yesterday, today, and forever. Please teach us to number our days that we may gain a heart of wisdom. Let us yearn for Your heart, care about what You care about, love what You love, and pass on what You pass on. I pray in the name of the Lord Jesus, Amen!
