讀經:哥林多前書第十章

默想:「所以你們或吃或喝,無論做什麼,都要爲榮耀神而行。」(林前10:31)

默想一:基督徒行事為人的最高原則是什麼?在一切所行的事上都是為了榮耀神!凡事不榮耀神的事,一概都不作,因為我們是神藉著耶穌基督用重價買贖我們,如今我們活著,不再是我們,乃是基督在我們裡面活著(加2:20)。既然我們都屬於祂,我們也都當被祂所用,為祂的榮耀而行。

默想二:基督徒信仰生活的真正考驗在哪裡?不在於你是否成功,而在於你日常生活是否忠心。人都喜歡把事工上的成就當作目標,然而聖徒的目標,卻是要在日常生活中顯出上帝的榮耀,藉著日常生活和人際關係彰顯上帝。

禱告:阿爸父神,感謝祢在靈裡所賜的自由。求聖靈時時鑒察我,凡我所行的大小事都是榮耀祢,而不是虧缺或偷竊祢的榮耀。主!今天無論在何時何地,求袮使用我成為榮耀祢的器皿。奉耶穌基督得勝的名禱告,阿們!

Bible reading: 1 Corinthians 10.

Insight:  “So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” (1Co 10:31)

Insight one: What is the highest criterion of a Christian’s manner? In all manner of living, we glorify God! We don’t do anything that does not glorify God, because we are bought by God with a heavy price through Jesus Christ. Now we no longer live, but Christ lives in us (Gal 2:20). Since we all belong to Him, we all should be used by Him and do things for His glory.

Insight two: What is the genuine assess of a Christian’s faith life? It is not whether you are successful, but whether you are faithful in your daily life. People tend to regard the accomplishments in ministry as goals. However, the goal of a godly person is to bring up the glory of God in daily life and to reveal God through everyday life and relationships with other people.

Prayer: Abba Father, thank You for giving me the liberty in spirit. Please have Your Holy Spirit to search my heart, so all I do, major or trivial, is to glorify You, and not to fall short of or steal the glory of God. Lord! Today, whenever and wherever, ask You to use me as a vessel of glory. I pray in the victorious name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
