《今日靈修默想》:主又說:「…我要將我的律法放在他們裏面,寫在他們心上;我要作他們的神;他們要作我的子民。」(來8:10)

默想一:神將律法寫在人的心版上(林後3:3)的目的是什麼?要使人明白神的旨意,並樂意照神的旨意行。神寫在我們心上的律法,就是『生命聖靈的律』(羅8:2),藉著真理的靈來啟示我們,好叫我們隨從聖靈,體貼聖靈的事(羅8:5),使我們更認識神,更愛神。

默想二:神的心意是什麼?要將信靠祂的人從世界分別出來,神要在他們中間居住,在他們中間來往,作他們的神,他們要作神的子民(林後6:16~18)。這種神與人之間的親密關係,不再是因為懼怕被神懲罰;而是因為他們敬愛上帝。如今在聖靈的幫助下,祂賜給我們樂意聽從神的心。有了這“新心”,我們的事奉會越來越喜樂。

禱告;天父上帝,我要讚美袮。如果不是袮主動差遣主耶穌基督為我們釘死在十字架上,第三天復活,升天,坐在全能父上帝的右邊,我們的罪永遠得不到赦免,更無法享受作神的兒女。求袮幫助我,我願順服袮的每一樣旨意,在任何環境、任何時候,我都要完全尊崇袮,榮耀袮。奉耶穌寶貴的聖名禱告,阿們!

《Today’s spiritual meditation》:  “… I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.” (Heb 8:10)

Meditation one: What is the purpose of God’s writing of the laws on tablets of human hearts (2Co 3:3)? He wants people to understand the will of God and be willing to do according to the will of God. The law that God has written in our hearts is the law of the Spirit of life (Rom 8:2). It is revealed through the Spirit of truth that we may live according to the Spirit set our minds on the things of the Spirit (Rom 8:5). Let us know God more and love God more.

Meditation two: What is in God’s mind? He wants to separate the people who trust in Him from the world, God  wants to make His dwelling among people and walk among people, and  He will be their God, and they shall be God’s people (2Co 6:16-18). This intimate relationship between God and people is no longer due to fear of being punished by God but because they love God. Now with the help of the Holy Spirit, He gives us the willingness to listen to the mind of God. With this “new heart”, our ministry will be more and more joyful.

Prayer; God heavenly father, I want to praise You. If it is not Your initiative to send the Lord Jesus Christ to be crucified for us on the cross, to be resurrected on the third day, to be taken up into heaven, and to sit on the right hand of the Almighty God, our sins will never be forgiven, and we will never be able to enjoy being children of God. Please help me; I am willing to obey every will of You. Regardless which circumstances or occasions, I want to adore You and glorify You. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, Amen!
