《今日靈修默想》:「能神照著運行在我們心裡的大力,充充足足的成就一切,超過我們所求所想的。」(弗3:20)

默想一:神與人最大的不同在哪裡?神是創造者,我們人是受造者。在人不能的,在神凡事都能。這不是說我們什麼都不作,而是我們相信神的靈能在我們心中動工,藉著我們成就偉大的工作。凡祂所作的,是遠遠地超過我們所求所想的。

默想二:禱告蒙應允的關鍵是什麼?禱告的對象要正確,態度要謙卑,信心要堅定,主權要分明,目的要單純,這樣的禱告神終究要應允。上帝之所以會聽我們的禱告, 不是因為我們的禱告虔誠,而是因為耶穌基督的救贖。祂是「神能⋯成就⋯」的神。我們無論遇到再大再難的事,禱告交託給神,祂必開路。神的話提醒我們:「不是依靠勢力,不是依靠才能,乃是依靠我的靈方能成事。」(亞4:6)。

禱告:親愛的主,我要歌頌讚美袮,因祢在我身上作了那超過我所求所想的事。求祢教導我如何善用禱告,並謙卑地與袮同行。主阿!因袮愛的呼召,我願甘心放下一切,專心跟從祢。讓我有限的生命都是為袮的榮耀而活。奉主耶穌寶貴的聖名禱告,阿們!

《Today’s spiritual meditation》:  “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us” (Eph 3:20)

Meditation one: What is the greatest difference between God and human? God is the creator, and we are created by Him. With us something is impossible, but with God all things are possible. This is not to say that we don’t do anything, but that we believe God’s spirit can work within us, and can accomplish great works through us.  Whatsoever He does will be immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine.

Meditation two: What is the key for a prayer been answered?  The object of prayer must be correct, the attitude must be humble, the faith must be firm, the sovereignty must be distinct, and the purpose must be pure. Such prayers eventually will be answered by God. The reason why God listens to our prayers is not because our prayers are devout, but because of the salvation of Jesus Christ. He is “the God Who is able . . . can accomplish . . .”. No matter how difficult things are, don’t forget to pray and entrust to God. He will open the way. God’s word reminds us, “Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit.” (Zec 4:6)

Prayer: Dear Lord, I want to sing to You and praise You, because what You have done to me is immeasurably more than all I ask or imagine. Please teach me how to pray judiciously and walk with You humbly. Lord! Because of the calling of Your love, I am willing to lay down everything and wholly follow You. Let my limited life is living for Your glory. I pray in the precious holy name of Jesus, Amen!
