《今日靈修默想》:「應當敬畏神,將榮耀歸給祂!因祂施行審判的時候已經到了。應當敬拜那創造天地海和眾水泉源的。」(啟14:7)

默想一:我們為什麼要將榮耀歸給神?因為祂是配得榮耀、尊貴、權柄的!祂創造了宇宙萬物,並且萬物是因祂的旨意被創造而有的(啟4:11)。我們只敬拜造人的神,而不是拜那人造的神或受造的偶像。神自己也說:「我是耶和華,這是我的名。我必不將我的榮耀歸給假神。也不將我的稱讚歸給雕刻的偶像」(賽42:8)

默想二:主耶穌第一次來到世上的目的是為拯救我們,叫一切信祂的不至滅亡,反得永生。但祂應許還要再來,祂來的目的是為要審判,屆時你會站立得住嗎?當萬民都要來到萬王之王、萬主之主的面前敬拜時,你會在敬拜讚美裡有份嗎?

禱告:感謝神,因袮以大能創造了宇宙萬物。我算什麼?竟蒙袮看中。照我本性,我不配得袮的愛,但袮藉著耶穌基督拯救了我。因袮奇異恩典,我願用一生來敬拜袮,並榮耀袮的名,直到袮的再來。奉耶穌基督得勝的名禱告,阿們!

《Today’s spiritual meditation》:  “Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heavens, the earth, the sea and the springs of water.” (Rev 14:7)

Meditation one: Why do we want to give glory to God? It is because that He is worthy to receive glory and honor and power! He created all things, and by His will they were created and have their being. (Rev 4:11) We only worship the God of creation, not man-made gods or the molten images. God himself said, “I am the Lord; that is my name! I will not yield my glory to another or my praise to idols.” (Isa 42:8)

Meditation two: The purpose of the first come of the Lord Jesus to this world is to save us, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. He also promised to come again. The purpose of His coming again is for judgement. Will you be able to stand before God at that moment? When all the the people come to worship the King of kings and the Lord of lords, will you become a partaker in worshiping and praising?  Prayer: Thank God, because You have created everything in the universe with Your power. Who am I? I was able to be honorably chosen by You. By my nature, I am not worthy of Your love, but You saved me through Jesus Christ. Because of Your amazing grace, I will worship You throughout my entire lifetime, and glorify Your name until You come again. I pray in the victorious name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
