讀經:啟示錄第十五章

《今日靈修默想》:「主神,全能者啊,你的作為大哉,奇哉!萬世之王啊,你的道途義哉,誠哉!」(啟15:3)

默想一:這首世紀頌讚之歌是講什麼?摩西的歌是讚美神拯救以色列從埃及得到釋放;羔羊的歌是慶祝神的子民最終從撒但的權勢中得到釋放。主要是宣告神的主權及公義的彰顯, 讓神的百姓得拯救。想到神恩奇妙, 我們當在凡事上存敬畏神並將榮歸給神。神的公義,不是靠人的智慧、能力、方式在地上達成, 只有在神的國度中才可以完全實現。

默想二:你的生活行為配得上是敬拜神的子民嗎?神的性情是聖的,所以不能容忍任何邪污的事;神的作為是公義的,所以祂的判斷是全然公義的。所有跟隨主耶穌的人,必須過聖潔的生活,也唯有聖潔才能過得勝的生活。耶穌說:「清心的人有福了,因為他們必得見神。」(太5:8)。

禱告:大而可畏、至聖至潔的神,我要歌頌讚美袮,因袮的作為、道途、公義、聖潔、榮耀是何等的奇妙!感謝祢讓我蒙恩得救,讚美祢讓我成為敬拜祢的子民,感激袮給我機會服事袮。世上雖有苦難、風浪、逼迫,但有袮的同在,我就放心。求袮加增我的信心,我願在凡事上尊祢的名為聖。奉耶穌基督的名禱告,阿們!

Bible Reading: Revelation 15.

《Today’s spiritual meditation》:  “Great and marvelous are your deeds, Lord God Almighty. Just and true are your ways, King of the nations.” (Rev 15:3)

Meditation one: What does this song of the century’s eulogy express? The song of Moses praised God for liberating Israel from Egypt; the song of the Lamb was to celebrate the liberty of God’s people from Satan’s power. It is mainly to declare God’s sovereignty and the manifestation of righteousness, so that the people of God can be saved. When we think of God’s amazing grace, we should fear before God and give the glory to God in all things. God’s righteousness cannot be achieved on earth by human’s intelligence, power, and means. It can only be fully realized in the kingdom of God.

Meditation two: Is your life conduct worthy of being a person who worships God? God’s nature is holy, so He cannot tolerate any evil things. God’s works are righteous, so His judgment is righteous altogether. All who follow the Lord Jesus must live a holy life, and only holiness can live out a victorious life. Jesus said, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God”. (Mat 5:8)

Prayer: Great and awesome God, holy and pure altogether, I want to chant and praise You since Your work, Your way, the righteousness, the holiness, and the glory are so wondrous! Thank You for letting me be saved by the grace. Praise You for letting me be a person to worship You. Thank You for giving me the opportunity to serve You. Although there are sufferings, turbulence, and persecutions in this world, I am relieved because You are with me. Please increase my faith. I want to have Your name be kept holy in everything. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
