《年終靈修默想四》:「你們要過去得為業的那地,乃是有山、有谷、雨水滋潤之地。是耶和華你神所眷顧的;從歲首到年終,耶和華你神的眼目時常看顧那地」(申11:11-12)

默想一:你對未來的新年有把握嗎?沒有人敢預知將來的路程會遇到怎樣的遭遇、變遷、挑戰。但我們相信神的帶領是不會錯的,祂所預備的那地是有山、有谷、雨水滋潤之地。要得神所預備的「迦南美地」並非是平穩順暢,有時登上高峰,有時落入低谷,有時困難重重,但掌管明天的神已經應許我們「從歲首到年終,耶和華你神的眼目時常看顧那地。」

默想二:你想知道天父上帝的恩典有多大嗎?乃是一生之久!祂對你我的看顧不是只有第一天的歲首和最後一天的年終,不是只有那兩天,而是從頭到尾的每一天。主夠用的恩典在整年裡都給了我們。無論在何處,祂的恩惠慈愛也必隨著我們(詩23:6)

禱告:阿爸父神,感謝袮無微不至的看顧。因袮的同在、保護、引導、供應,讓我走到今天。面對未來的新年,我仍要定睛仰望袮。我深信袮所應許的眷顧是永不會落空。求袮加增我的信心,在未來的每一天裡,我要大膽地跟隨袮到底,如同袮愛我到底。奉耶穌基督的名禱告,阿們!

《Year-end spiritual meditation 4》:  “But the land you are crossing the Jordan to take possession of is a land of mountains and valleys that drinks rain from heaven. It is a land the LORD your God cares for; the eyes of the LORD your God are continually on it from the beginning of the year to its end.” (Deu 11:11-12)

Meditation one: Do you have assurance for the new year to come? No one dares to predict what kind of encounters, changes, and challenges will be faced in the upcoming journey. But we believe that God’s guidance can’t be wrong. The land He prepared is a land of mountains and valleys that drinks rain from heaven. To reach the “Good Land of Canaan” prepared by God cannot be smooth and easy. Sometimes it encounters mountains, sometimes falls into valleys, and sometimes it is thorny. Yet the God who sovereigns tomorrow has promised us that “the eyes of the LORD your God are continually on it from the beginning of the year to its end”.

Meditation two: Do you want to know how broad the grace of God the Father is? It’s for a lifetime! His care for you and me is not just the first day of the year and the last day of the year, not just these two days, but every single day throughout. The grace of the Lord was given to us over the entire year. Wherever we are, surely His goodness and love will follow us (Psa 23:6).

Prayer: God Abba Father, thank You for Your meticulous care. Because of Your presence, protection, guidance, and supply, leads me to be where I am today. Facing the coming new year, I still want to set my eyes upon You. I trust that the kindness You promised will never fail. Please increase my faith. In the days to come, I will boldly follow You all the way to the end, just as You love me to the end. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
