讀經:路加福音第四章

 默想:「人活著不是單靠食物,乃是靠神口裡所出的一切話。」(路4:4)

默想一:你人生的重心及追求的目標正確嗎?主耶穌提醒我們,不要被魔鬼欺騙了,牠要你把精力放在追求短暫的享樂裡,使你看不到現今靈命的需要及將來靈魂的歸宿。世上的物質再豐富都無法填滿心靈的空虛,也買不起真正的平安和喜樂。直到你讓基督進入你心並且作你心中的主。

默想二:基督徒生活的得勝與失敗的分別在哪裡?是聽從神來的,還是世界來的聲音?是順從聖靈的引導,還是隨從肉體的情慾?順着情慾撒種的,必從情慾收敗壞;順着聖靈撒種的,必從聖靈收永生(加 6:8 )。只有信靠上帝並遵行祂口中所出的一切話,才能活出豐盛的生命。

禱告:阿爸父神,感謝祢。因祢的話不僅是我每日的靈糧,是我人生的指南,是我抵擋異端的確據,也是我戰勝惡魔的利器。求祢賜我渴慕的心,不僅每日與祢相約在讀經裡,也樂意遵行祢所說的話。祢說什麼,我就做什麼。奉耶穌寶貴的名禱告。阿們!

Bible Reading: Luke 4.

Insight:  “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.” (Luk 4:4)

Insight one: Are the focus of your life and the goal of your pursuit correct? The Lord Jesus reminds us not to be deceived by the devil. It induces you to focus on the pursuit of short-lived pleasures so that you cannot see the spiritual needs of today and the fate of the soul in the future. No matter how rich the worldly material is, it cannot fill the emptiness of the soul, nor can it buy the true peace and joy, until you let Christ come into your heart and become the Lord of your heart.

Insight two: What is the division between victory and failure in a Christian’s life? Listen to God or the voice of the world? Should one follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit, or follow the lust of the flesh? Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life (Gal 6: 8). Only by trusting in God and obeying every word of God, can we live an abundant life.

Prayer: God Abba Father, thank You. Your words are not only my daily spiritual food, the guide of my life, the assurance of my victory over the cult, but also my weapon to defeat the devil. Please give me a heart to long for meeting You every day in the Scriptures and willingly to follow all Your words. Whatever You say, I will do. I pray in the precious name of Jesus. Amen!
