讀經:馬太福音17章

默想經文:「你們若有信心像一粒芥菜種,就是對這座山說:‘你從這邊挪到那邊’,它也必挪去,並且你們沒有一件不能做的事了。」(太17:20)

默想一:你正面對一個像排山倒海的大難題嗎?快把你的眼目從這大難題轉向耶穌基督吧。即使最艱巨的工作或不可能的任務,在祂沒有難成的事,因祂是統管萬有的神。

默想二:你有「芥菜種」那樣的信心嗎?使不可能的事成為可能,不取決於你的信心夠不夠,而決定於你是否相信全能的上帝和耶穌基督的救恩。即使你的信心如芥菜種那麼小,只要你與那位讓耶穌死而復活的上帝連結,透過祂就能成就各樣的事。信心絕不是在頭腦裡的贊同就可,也不是抽象的,而必須是建立在上帝的應許上和聖經的真道上。

禱告:天父上帝,感謝祢所賜的信心。求祢幫助我,無論遇到大小事,懂得凡事交託給祢。讓我的信心扎根在祢那永不改變的應許上,永遠堅立。奉耶穌基督的聖名禱告。阿們!

Bible Reading: Matthew 17

Insight:  “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” (Mat 17:20)

Insight one: Are you facing a big problem like rows of mountains and surges of waves? Quickly turn your eyes away from this big problem to Jesus Christ. Even the most difficult work or impossible task, there is nothing too difficult to accomplish in Him, because He is the God who rules over all.

Insight two: Do you have the faith like a “mustard seed”? Making the impossible possible does not depend on whether your faith is sufficient or not, but on whether you believe in the salvation of Almighty God and Jesus Christ. Even if your faith is as small as a mustard seed, as long as you can bond to the God who made Jesus to be resurrected from the death, you can accomplish everything through Him. Faith is absolutely not an approval in one’s mind, nor is it abstract. It must be based on the promises of God and the truth of the Bible.

Prayer: God heavenly Father, thank You for giving me faith. Please help me, no matter whether things are big or trivial, I know how to entrust everything to You. Let my faith be rooted in Your promise that will never change, and settle forever. I pray in the holy name of Jesus Christ. Amen!
