《今日靈修默想》:「只要凡事放膽,無論是生是死,總叫基督在我身上照常顯大。因我活著就是基督,我死了就有益處(死去就是贏得)。」(腓1:20-21)

默想一:基督在你身上的地位是什麼?我們不能使基督變得更偉大,因為祂已經夠偉大。我們只是讓人在我們的生活中看到神的偉大,配得他們的愛慕及尊榮。榮耀歸主名是基督徒的人生指標。

默想二:你活在世上對人是祝福或是咒詛?給人喜樂或是愁苦?在人眼中是多餘或是令人珍惜?我們若活著就是基督的人,我們所作的一切必蒙神記念,活得有意義。

禱告:慈愛的天父上帝,感謝袮在耶穌基督裡所完成的大工。人生有限,求祢加增我們信心和力量,好讓我在這邪惡囂張、不公不義、多災多難的世代裡成為袮的見證。我願在凡事上都為祢的榮耀而活,並且至死忠心,直到安然見主面。奉耶穌基督寶貴的名禱告,阿們!

《Today’s spiritual meditation》:  “I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death. For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.” (Php 1:20-21)

Meditation one: What is the status of Christ in your heart? We cannot make Christ greater, for He is great enough. We just make people see God’s greatness in our lives, worthy of their love and honor. To glorify the name of the Lord is a Christian’s life time goal.

Meditation two: Are you a blessing or a curse to the people in this world? Do you bring people joy or make them anguish? Are you a superfluous or a cherishable person in people’s eyes? If we live in Christ, all that we do will be remembered by God and our lives will be meaningful.

Prayer: Dear God heavenly Father, thank You for the great work You have done in Jesus Christ. Life is short, and I ask You to reinforce my faith and strength, so that I can be a witness for You in this sinful, unjust, and catastrophic era. I am willing to live for the glory of the Lord in everything, be faithful till the end and meet the Lord at peace. I pray in the precious name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
