《今日靈修默想》:「若有人服事我,就當跟從我;我在哪裏,服事我的人也要在那裡;若有人服事我,我父必尊重他。」(約12:26)

默想一:怎麼樣的人可以服事主?就是所有蒙恩得救的人。我們蒙恩是要來服事神。但怎麼服事主?就是跟隨主的腳蹤行!祂在哪裏,我們作祂僕人的也要在那裡。在那裡行祂所行,愛祂所愛,講祂所講,關心祂所關心的事。

默想二:服事主怎麼會是一條不易的路?因為那是走十字架的窄路,要犧牲、奉獻、捨己。雖然難行,但那是很榮耀尊貴的事,因為天父上帝必尊重服事祂的人。服事主是一生的榮耀,當把握時機。不要等到想服事時,已經太遲了。

禱告:天父上帝,感謝祢讓我有機會服事萬主之主。求祢幫助我善用時光,不僅盡心、盡意、盡性、盡力愛祢及愛人,也盡心、盡意、盡性,盡力服事祢及服事人。讓別人因我的服事把榮耀歸給神。奉主耶穌的名禱告,阿們!

《Today’s spiritual meditation》:  “Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me.” (Joh 12:26)

Meditation one: What type of people can serve the Lord? They are the people who have been given the grace and been saved. How to serve the Lord? It is to follow the Lord’s footsteps. As His servants, wherever He is, we will be there. We do what He does. We love whomever He loves. We speak whatever He tells us, and we care about the things He cares about.

Meditation two: Why serving the Lord is not an easy pathway? It is because the way is a narrow pathway of the cross with sacrifice, submission, and self-denial. Although it is a rocky way but it is a glorious and honorable thing. This is because our God heavenly Father will honor those who serve Him. Serving the Lord is a life-long glory, but one has to seize the opportunity. Don’t wait until it is too late to serve.

Prayer: God heavenly Father, thank You for allowing me to have the opportunity to serve the Lord of lords. Help me to make good use of my time, not only to love You and others with all my heart, all my mind, all my soul, and all my strength, but also serve You and others with all my heart, all my mind, all my soul, and all my strength. Therefore others may give glory to God through my ministry. I pray in the name of Lord Jesus, Amen!
