《今日靈修默想》:「所以,我親愛的弟兄們,你們務要堅固,不可搖動,常常竭力多做主工,因為知道你們的勞苦,在主裡面不是徒然的。」(林前15:58)

默想一:你因爲作基督徒很辛苦嗎?服事主快撐不住嗎?轉向已經爲你從死裡復活的主耶穌。再多的困難,再大的挑戰,在基督裡「務要堅固,不可動搖」,因為祂是我們的得勝君王。我們所面臨的一切,在基督裡都絕不是毫無意義或是白費功夫。我們不可讓任何的事來影響我們對主的信靠。

默想二: 神存留我們在地上的目的是什麼?只為世上的一切享樂嗎?不是的。神在我們的身上,都有祂最美好的計畫和目的,就是分享福音,領人歸主。神的心意是願萬人得救,不願一人沉淪。我們當趁著還有今日,盡力地傳福音。今生為主多受勞苦,在天上多享榮耀。

禱告:天父上帝,感謝袮在基督裡的得勝,使我們成為得勝的子民。求袮幫助我,堅定我跟隨袮的決心,一生永不回頭。也求袮指教我,使我的每一天不僅行在袮的旨意裡過得勝的生活,也甘心樂意地過事奉袮的生活。奉耶穌基督的名禱告,阿們!

《Today’s spiritual meditation》:  “Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.” (1Co 15:58)

Meditation one: because you are a Christian, do you bear a lot of hardships? Are you almost not able to hold on to serve the Lord? Don’t forget to turn to the Lord Jesus, who has risen from the dead for you. Whatever difficulties and challenges, in Christ, “stand firm. Let nothing move you”, because He is our victorious King. Everything we have encountered is by no means meaningless or in vain in Christ. We must not let anything distract our faith in the Lord.

Meditation two: What is God’s purpose for keeping us living on this land? Is it only to enjoy all the worldly happiness? This is not true. God has all His best plans and purposes for us. God wants us to share the gospel and bring people to the Lord. God wants all people to be saved and not anyone to perish. We should seize any present moment to do our best to preach the gospel. One labors much for the Lord in this life will enjoy the more glory in heaven.

Prayer: God heavenly Father, thank You for Your victory in Christ and making us the children of victory. Please help me, strengthen my decision to follow You throughout my whole life, and never turn away. Please also teach me so that every day I not only live a victorious life according to Your will, but also live a joyful life to serve You. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
