《今日靈修默想》:這樣,你們做完了一切所吩咐的,只當說:「我們是無用的僕人,所做的本是我們應分做的。」(路17:10)

默想一:基督徒為什麼服事主就沒什麼可誇的?因我們只是蒙恩得救的罪人!若不是主的憐憫與使用,我們所做的就沒有用。主為我們所做的犧牲與恩惠,根本就不能跟我們為祂所做的相比。

默想二:作基督僕人的正確態度是什麼?以謙卑和順服的態度盡本分地服事主。不問神回報的「福分」有多少,而是問自己為主盡了多少的「本分」?我們事奉神不是為求回報,而是為報答主恩。

禱告:我的神,讚美祢。我今日成了何等人,都是因祢在十字架上所完成的救恩。求祢幫助我以感恩、謙卑、順服的心服事祢。讓我成為合祢心意的僕人,並以做祢的僕人為榮。不是為滿足我自己,乃是為彰顯祢的榮耀。奉主耶穌寶貴的名禱告。阿們!

《Today’s spiritual meditation》:  “So you also, when you have done everything you were told to do, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’” (Luk 17:10)

Meditation one: Why there is nothing for Christians to boast about while serving the Lord? For we are just sinners been saved through His grace! Without the mercy and use of us by the Lord, all we do is in vain. The Lord’s sacrifice and grace for us have way surpassed what we have done for Him.

Meditation two: What is the correct attitude as a servant of the Lord? Serve the Lord with humility and obedience. Instead of asking how many “blessings” God has rewarded, ask yourself how many “responsibilities” you have done for the Lord. We serve God not for reward, but for making return to the Lord.

Prayer: My God, I praise You. Because the salvation accomplished by You on the cross, I become what I am today. Help me to serve You with gratitude, humility, and obedience. Let me be a servant after Your will, and have the privilege of being Your servant. Not to satisfy myself, but to bring out Your glory. I pray in the precious name of the Lord Jesus. Amen!
