讀經:啟示錄第十七章。
《今日靈修默想》:「他們(敵基督)與羔羊爭戰,羔羊必勝過他們。因為羔羊是萬主之主,萬王之王。同著羔羊的,就是蒙召、被選、有忠心的,也必得勝。」(啟17:14)
默想一:基督徒憑什麼在環境險惡裡能高唱凱旋歌曲?因我們所投靠的是萬王之王、萬主之主的耶穌,祂的權柄遠超過撒旦的權勢。撒旦知道時日不多,就瘋狂地攻擊所有屬神的人。但所有跟隨羔羊的,就是蒙召、被選、有忠心的,必大大得勝。
默想二:要與基督同享得勝的榮耀嗎?就要忠於主的呼召。在屬靈的爭戰中,敵基督和這世界的權勢,總是與主耶穌基督和信徒們作對的。有人靠車,有人靠馬,但我們是依靠萬軍之耶和華的名。我們爭戰的兵器,本不是屬血氣的,乃是在神面前有能力,可以攻破堅固的營壘(林後10:4)。
禱告:至高的真神,我感謝祢!因耶穌基督的降世,讓我在救恩裡有份,也在袮的得勝上有份。雖然世界的罪惡更張狂,基督徒的處境更艱難,但我相信我所信的是誰,也深信祂能保全我所交付祂的(提後1:12)。求袮幫助我,我願忠心地跟隨祢。奉耶穌基督的名禱告,阿們!
Bible Reading: Revelation 17.
《Today’s spiritual meditation》: “They (Antichrist) will wage war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will triumph over them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings—and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers.” (Rev 17:14)
Meditation one: Why can Christians sing triumphant songs in malicious environments? It is because we are relying on the King of kings and the Lord of lords. His authority is far greater than the power of Satan. Satan knows that there are not many days left to attack all the people who belong to God. But those who are called, chosen, and faithfully follow the Lamb will triumph over greatly.
Meditation two: Do you want to share the glory of triumph with Christ? Be loyal to the calling of the Lord. In spiritual warfare, the antichrist and the power of the world are always against the Lord Jesus Christ and His believers. Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we trust the name of the almighty Yahweh. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. (2Co 10:4)
Prayer: God in the highest, I thank You! Because Jesus Christ came into the world so I have a share in salvation, and I also have a share in Your triumph. Although the wickedness of the world are more frenzied and the situation of Christians becomes more difficult, I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him. (2Ti 1:12) Please help me and I want to follow you faithfully. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
