《今日靈修默想》:「順從神,不順從人,是應當的!」(徒5:29)

默想一:基督徒為什麼是世上最好的國民?因為我們愛神就會愛人,當然也為神的緣故作好公民。

默想二:當人的命令與神的命令互相抵觸,就如偏離神的旨意及公義的原則,而命令作違背信仰、良心和道德時,為了神的榮耀,我們寧可順從神,神必負全責。基督徒從不因人而退縮,因為他的自信根植於基督。他知道自己的身分,也知道是在誰的權柄下發揮功能。弟兄姐妹,只有神是終極權威!

禱告:主耶穌,祢順服神以至於死在十字架上完成拯救人的使命。如今求祢幫助我效法祢的順從。在地上不僅作好國民,也成為天上的好子民,作一個盡責的基督徒公民,榮神益人。禱告奉祢的聖名,阿們。

《Today’s spiritual meditation》:  “We must obey God rather than human beings!” (Act 5:29)

Meditation one: Why are Christians the best citizens in the world? For we love God so we love people, and of course I want to be a good citizen for God’s sake.

Meditation two: When people’s command conflicts with God’s commandments, as it deviates from God’s will and the principles of righteousness, and people’s orders are contrary to faith, conscience, and morality, for God’s glory we would rather obey God. God will be in charge. Christians never flinch from people because their faith is rooted in Christ. One knows one’s position and knows under whose authority all deeds are undertaking. Brothers and sisters, only God is the ultimate authority!

Prayer: Lord Jesus, You obey God so that You died on the cross to fulfill the mission of saving people. Now ask You to help me to emulate the obedience You have. Not only as a good citizen on the earth, but also be a good descendant in heaven, a responsible Christian citizen to benefit people and glorify God. I pray for Your Holy Name, Amen.
