《今日靈修默想》:「因為神賜給我們的,不是膽怯的心,乃是有剛強、仁愛、謹守的心(自律的靈)。」(提後1:7)

默想一:基督徒面對社會亂象、道德淪喪、價值顛倒、性別混亂、婚姻放縱、罪惡風時,你不會膽怯、害怕、退縮嗎?我們不應該活在恐懼裡面,東擔心或西擔心,因為你的擔心正顯出你對上帝認識不多,你對上帝的信心不夠。記住,神的應許:「我總不撇下你,也不丟棄你。」(來13:5b)

默想二:當你重生的時候,神給了你什麼?就因神的同在,我們有能力來戰勝罪惡;因神的愛,我們在祂愛的感召下願意傳福音;因神的管理,我們願以謙卑來順服主,這就是我們敢面對邪惡的力量所在,也是我們事奉主的動力。

禱告:感謝天父上帝!因著祢的救恩,我不再是孤兒。有袮同在,我還怕什麼?我知道我所信的是誰,也深信神能保全我所交付祢的,直到那日。求袮扶持我,我願放膽地緊靠袮,日日事奉袮,天天讚美袮。奉耶穌基督寶貴的名禱告,阿們!

《Today’s spiritual meditation》:  “For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.” (2Ti 1:7)

Meditation one: When Christians face social chaos, moral corruptions, value turmoil, gender confusion, marriage indulgence, and sinful conduct, will you not be afraid, terrified, and retreat? We should not live in fear, worry here and worry there, because your fears are showing that you do not know God that much, and your faith in God is not sufficient. Remember, God’s promise: “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” (Heb. 13:5b)

Meditation two: What did God give you when you were born again? Since God is with us, we have the power to triumph over sins; because of God’s love, we are willing to evangelize under the calling of His love; because of God’s sovereign, we are willing to obey the Lord humbly. This is the power that we dare to face the evils. This is also the power that drives us to serve the Lord.

Prayer: Thank God heavenly Father! I am no longer an orphan through Your salvation. Since You are with me, what else do I fear for? I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that God is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until that day. Please uphold me, I am willing to trust in You with freedom and confidence, serve you every single day, and praise You every single day. I pray in the precious name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
