《今日靈修默想》:耶穌說:「撒在好地上的,就是人聽道明白了,後來結實,有一百倍的,有六十倍的,有三十倍的。」(太13:23)

默想一:撒的種子同樣是神的道,為什麼長出來就有極大的差別?關鍵在人的心田是哪一類型的土壤?是硬土?淺土?荊棘裡的土?還是好土?這完全要看你對上帝話語的回應程度。就如今天讀了聖經後,你的領受豐富與否,在於你心中的回應。

默想二:好土結出果子的秘訣是什麼?就是讀了神的話或聽了主的真道後,願意持守在誠實善良的心裡,並且忍耐著結實(路8:15)。聽道後樂意行道的,他的生命會結出豐盛的果子。

禱告:天父上帝,我感謝祢所賜的話語。祢的話語一解開,就發出亮光。祢說:「遵守祢的話,一心尋求祢的,那人便為有福!」(詩119:2)求祢幫助我,我願藉著每日讀經與祢同行。不僅恭讀祢的話,而且活出來。奉耶穌基督的名禱告。阿們!

《Today’s spiritual meditation》:  “But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it. This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.” (Mat 13:23)

Meditation one: The seeds are always God’s Word, why is there a great difference in crops? The key is what type of soil is in a person’s heart? Is it hard soil or shallow soil or soil among thorns? Or is it good soil? It all depends on how responsive you are to the Word of God. For example, today, after reading the Bible, whether you understand abundantly or not depends on the response from your heart.

Meditation two: What is the secret of bearing good fruit? The secret is, after reading the word of God or listening to the truth of the Lord, one is willing to bear a noble and good heart, retain it, and by persevering produce a crop (Luk 8:15). One who, after listening to the Word, is willing to do what the Word says will bear fruit in one’s life.

Prayer: God heavenly Father, I thank You for Your words. As soon as Your words are unraveled, they glow. You said, “Blessed are those who keep his statutes and seek him with all their heart!” (Psa 119: 2). Please help me, and I am willing to walk with You by reading the Bible daily. Not only read but also live out Your words. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen!
