《今日靈修默想》:「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:現在的你,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。整本聖經裡總共說了366次「不要害怕」!神知道我們的處境,祂等於在一年的366天(含閏年)裡天天向我們說「不要害怕」。神與我們同在,我們還怕什麼?

默想二:神為什麼要我們不要丟棄勇敢的心?因為神從來就沒有丟棄我們為孤兒,我們是祂寶貝的兒女。祂在我們的身旁,祂需要我們持續忍耐,等「行完了神的旨意」。神必與我們同在的應許,永不改變,必不落空。

禱告:主啊,我知道十字架的路原本就不是一條易路,但那是耶穌走過的路,也是通往天國的路。求祢加添我信心、忍耐、盼望,使我忠心地行完祢的旨意。求袮幫助我,讓我的每一天不是憑著眼見,乃是靠著信心生活。奉祢寶貴的名禱告,阿們!

《Today’s spiritual meditation》:  “So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded.” (Heb 10:35)

Meditation one: Are you now being opposed, misunderstood, excluded, jealous, and framed because of believing in the Lord or serving the Lord? The Lord knows all this because He has walked through your pathway already. In the entire Bible, “Do not be afraid” has been said for a total of 366 times! God knows our situation. He says “Don’t be afraid” to us literally every day for 366 days in a year (including leap years). God is with us, what else are we afraid of?

Meditation two: Why does God want us not to throw away the confidence? Because God has never abandoned us as orphans, we are His precious children. He is by our side, and He wants us to endure patience and wait for “the fulfillment of God’s will.” The promise that God will be with us will never change, and surely will not be forsaken.

Prayer: Lord, I know that the path of the cross is not an easy journey, but it is the path that Jesus has walked through and is the way to heaven. Strengthening my confidence, patience, hope, and make me faithfully live up to Your will. Please help me to live every day not by sight but by faith. I pray in Your precious name, Amen!
