《今日靈修默想》:「親愛的弟兄啊,你們卻要在至聖的真道(信仰)上造就自己,在聖靈裡禱告,保守自己常在神的愛中,仰望我們主耶穌基督的憐憫,直到永生。」(猶20-21)

默想一:在一個彎曲悖謬、真假不分、異端思想無孔不入的世代裡,我們最大的需要是什麼?就是回到聖經。聖經是神的話,是真理的柱石,是人生的指南。我們要把主的話藏在心裡,免得我們得罪主。除了每日讀經親近神,還要在聖靈裡的禱告生活。

默想二:我們怎樣能「在至聖的信仰上造就自己」呢?在神的話語上下功夫,以神的話為信仰與人生的基礎。這不單是指追求更明白真理,也包括照著實行,把所學習之客觀的真理變成主觀的屬靈經歷。一個真正認識神話語的人,會從他的生命裡活出真理來。

禱告:感謝三位一體的真神,因袮的憐憫及恩典。雖然我們活在千變萬化又多災多難的世界裡,但我們不怕,袮是我們的依靠,也是我們的盼望。求袮教導我如何在真道上追求長進,在聖靈裡禱告,在神的愛中,在耶穌的憐憫下過得勝的生活,直到見主面。奉耶穌的名禱告,阿們!

《Today’s spiritual meditation》:  “But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.” (Jud  1:20-21)

Meditation one: What is our greatest need in a crooked, perverse generation filled with paradox and heresy? It is to go back to the Bible. The Bible is the Word of God, the pillar of the truth, and the guide of life. We must keep the word of the Lord in our hearts, lest we offend the Lord. In addition to reading the Bible daily to be close to God, but also to live a life of praying in the Holy Spirit.

Meditation two: How can we “build yourselves up in your most holy faith “? The way is to work hard in the Word of God and and to apply the Word of God as the foundation of faith and life. This not only refers to the pursuing a better understanding of the truth, but also includes the practicing of the same, which denotes a conversion from an objective spiritual truth into a subjective practicing. A person who truly knows the Word of God will live out the truth through his/her life.

Prayer: Thank the true God of the Trinity. Because of Your mercy and grace, although we live in an ever-changing world of catastrophe, yet we are not afraid. You are our trust and our hope. Please teach me how to pursue growth in the truth, pray in the Holy Spirit, dwell in God’s love, and live in the mercy of Jesus until I meet the Lord face to face. I pray in the name of Jesus, Amen!
