《今日靈修默想》:「我就去到天使那裡,對他說:『請你把小書卷给我。』他對我說:『你拿著吃盡了,便叫你肚子發苦,然而在你口中要甜如蜜。』」(啟10:9)

默想一:今天攔阻基督徒靈命成長的原因是什麼?一個是沒有規律的讀經生活,就像每日沒有規律的吃飯一樣,不可能長進。二是有讀經卻沒有好好地默想,把神的話消化在生活中。讀經時,求聖靈光照,讓經文活過來並對你說話。神的話需要我們主動的追求,因為「聖經是神所默示的,於教訓、督責、使人歸正、教導人學義都是有益的」(提後3:16)。

默想二:為什麼神的話語吃下後會有兩種味道呢?因為對願意悔改的人,他們能經歷神話語的豐富及甘甜。但對那些聽了福音不肯悔改的人,神的話對他們是絆腳石、控告、定罪。拒絕福音的結果,將面對神的審判。

禱告:感謝神,因著袮的話,我們認識袮創造、救贖、啟示的美意。求袮教導我,讓我讀經的時候,不是只讀喜歡的經文,乃是袮說什麼,我就做什麼。袮所說的話,就是靈,就是生命。求袮幫助我,我願聆聽袮的話,並樂意遵行。奉耶穌基督的名禱告,阿們!

《Today’s spiritual meditation》:  “So I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little scroll. He said to me, ‘Take it and eat it. It will turn your stomach sour, but in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.’” (Rev 10:9)

Meditation one: What is the cause that prevents the spiritual growth among Christians in these days? One is that there is no regular Bible reading habit, just like eating without regular daily meals, which is not possible to grow. Another issue is Bible reading without meditation, which fails to transform the words of God into daily life. When reading the Bible, ask the Holy Spirit to shine on you and let the scripture become lively and speak to you. The Word of God requires us to pursuit proactively, because “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness” (2Ti 3:16).

Meditation two: Why do God’s words have two opposite flavors after eating? For those who are willing to repent, they can experience the richness and sweetness of the Word of God. But for those who have heard the gospel and refuse to repent, the Word of God becomes a stumbling block, accusation, and condemnation for them. The result of rejecting the gospel will face the judgment of God.

Prayer: Thank God, because of Your Word, we can appreciate the beauty of creation, salvation, and revelation. Please teach me so when I read the Bible, I should not read my favored scriptures only, but should do what You said in the Bible. Your Word is the soul and the life. Please help me and I will listen to you and be willing to follow. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
