讀經:希伯來書第十章

默想:「所以,你們不可丟棄勇敢的心;存這樣的心必得大賞賜。」(來10:35 )

默想一:你正因為信主或是因為服事主而遭人的反對、誤解、排擠、嫉妒、陷害嗎?主都知道這一切,因祂走過你的路。我們是神的兒女,祂絕不丟棄我們為孤兒。聖經提到「不要害怕」就有365次,神等於在一年裡天天與我們同在。神說:『你不要害怕,因為我與你同在;不要驚惶,因為我是你的神。我必堅固你,我必幫助你;我必用我公義的右手扶持你。』(賽 41:10)

默想二:在這個撒但掌權的黑暗世界裡,基督徒最需要的什麼?就是『不可丟棄勇敢的心』!也只有依靠神的大能大力,才能擺脫心中的恐懼和莫名的不安。主在我們的身旁,我們當剛強壯膽,不怕為主受苦,不怕為人受累,不怕名譽受損,不怕家業損失,直等到我們「行完了神的旨意」。

禱告:親愛的主,我知道十字架的路原本就不是一條易路,但那是袮走過的路,也是通往天國唯一的路。求主賜給我更多勇敢的心及忍耐力,讓我能勝過一次次的困難與挑戰,知道這一切所經歷的,都是為了永恆的應許與賞賜。袮已經為我存留了那美好的基業,讓我儆醒度日,直到袮再來。奉耶穌基督的聖名禱告,阿們!

Bible Reading: Hebrews 10

Insight:  :  “So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded.” (Heb 10:35)

Insight one: Are you being opposed, misunderstood, excluded, envied, and framed just because of believing in the Lord or serving the Lord? The Lord knows all this because He has walked through your journey already. We are children of God, and He will never leave us as orphans. The Bible has mentioned “Don’t be afraid” 365 times. This is like that God is with us every day in a year. God said: “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand” (Isa 41:10).

Insight two: What do Christians need most in this dark world where Satan is in power? It is “do not throw away your confidence”! Only by relying on the mighty power of God can we get rid of the fear and inexplicable uneasiness in our hearts. The Lord is by our side, we should be strong and courageous, not afraid of suffering for the Lord, not afraid of being assumed because of others, not afraid of reputation damage, not afraid of loss of assets, until we “have done the will of God”.

Prayer: Dear Lord, I know that the path of the cross is not an easy journey, but it is the pathway You have walked through and is the only way to heaven. Lord, please give me more courage and endurance, so that I can overcome the difficulties and challenges again and again, knowing that all these experiences are for eternal promises and rewards. You have laid up the beautiful inheritance for me, so that I can watch and live until You come again. I pray in the holy name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
