《今日靈修默想》:「但那等候耶和華的必從新得力。他們必如鷹展翅上騰;他們奔跑卻不困倦,行走卻不疲乏。」(賽40:31)

默想一:你最近的靈性光景如何?感到疲憊、煩躁、軟弱、沮喪、孤單嗎?你現在需要的是「停!看!聽!」檢視自己是不是離神好遠了?詩人說:「你們要休息,要知道我是神」(詩46:10) 。及時地來到阿爸父神,向祂傾心吐意。祂應許:「疲乏的,祂賜能力;軟弱的,祂加力量」(賽40:29)

默想二:你要經歷「如鷹展翅上騰」的生活嗎?關鍵在『等候耶和華的』!等候不是什麼事都不做,而是放下自己的努力,讓神來帶領你怎麼做。詩人說:「凡等候袮的,必不羞愧」(詩25:3)只要抬起頭來仰望神,祂要成為我們們隨時的幫助,使軟弱變剛強,失望變盼望。

禱告:親愛的主,感謝袮了解我的軟弱及需要。面對世界裡的忙碌、吵雜、緊張、不安時,求袮賜我鎮定的靈,不僅渴慕藉著讀經及禱告親近神,也學會在袮面前「默默無聲,專心等候上帝,因為我的盼望是從祂而來」(詩62:5)。也求袮賜我樂意的心遵行袮的話,因袮的話是我腳前的燈,路上的光。奉耶穌基督得勝的名祈求,阿們!

《Today’s spiritual meditation》:  “but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” (Isa 40:31)

Meditation one: How is your recent spiritual situation? Feeling tired, irritable, weak, depressed, or lonely? What you need now is “Stop! Look! Listen!” Do you feel that you are far away from God when you examine yourself? The Psalm says, “Be still, and know that I am God” (Psa 46:10). Come to Abba Father in time and pour out your soul before Him. He has promised: “He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.” (Isa 40:29)

Meditation two: Do you want to experience a life like an eagle soars on wings? The key is to “hope in the Lord “! Waiting does not mean not doing anything, but to laid down your own efforts and let God guide you to do it. The Psalm says, “No one who hopes in you will ever be put to shame” (Psa 25: 3) Just turn your head up and look upon God, and He will be our help at any time, to make weakness being strong and frustration being hopeful.

Prayer: Dear Lord, thank You for knowing my weaknesses and needs. Facing this busy, noisy, tense, and unsettled world, please give me a serene soul, not only eager to get closer to God through Bible reading and prayer, but also learn to face You serenely, ” Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from Him” (Psa 62: 5). Give me a willing heart to obey your word, because Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light for my path. I pray in the victorious name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
