《今日靈修默想》:「因為寶座中的羔羊必牧養他們,領他們到生命水的泉源,神也必擦去他們一切的眼淚。」(啟7:17)

默想一:你是否越來越感覺到基督徒走的不是一條易路?隨意地走天路感覺一身輕,但認真地走天路就不一樣了。主耶穌呼召人時,就明說十字架是一條窄路,走的人少,但走的卻是唯一通往永生的路。你現在為主的緣故,正處在患難、困苦與逼迫嗎?親愛的天路客,阿爸父神在你身邊,祂永不丟棄你。祂說:「婦人焉能忘記她吃奶的嬰孩,不憐恤她所生的兒女?即或有忘記的,我卻不忘記你。」(賽49:15)

默想二:你曾否想過?今生至暫至輕的苦楚跟將來神所賜的榮耀是絕不能相比的。到那日,那曾為我們的罪代死而復活的主,就是寶座中的羔羊耶穌,祂將以萬王之王的身分親自牧養我們。祂不僅領我們到生命水泉,又要擦乾我們的眼淚,那是何等地滿足、喜樂、平安,是無上的光榮。

禱告:全能的父上帝,感謝祢所賜的榮耀福分。在世上雖有悲哀、痛苦、眼淚、失望,但我深信祢的應許永不改變。求祢幫助我,我願在所信的真道上恆心,堅定不移,持守福音的盼望(西1:23),直到見祢面。奉耶穌基督的名禱告,阿們!

《Today’s spiritual meditation》:  “For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd;
he will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.” (Rev 7:17)

Meditation one: Do you more and more feel that the path Christians are taking is not an easy way? Although it is fairly relaxed while walking on the heavenly path in a laidback manner, but things can be very different when earnestly walking on the heavenly path. When the Lord Jesus calls us, He has already said that the cross is a narrow path and few people will be willing to walk on it, but it is the only way leads to the eternal life. Are you experiencing anguish, suffering, hardship and persecution for the sake of the Lord? Dear fellows of the heavenly path, our God heavenly Father is by your side and He will never forsake you. He says, “Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you!” (Isa 49:15)

Meditation two: Have you ever thought about it? The light momentary affliction of this life cannot compare against the glory that God will give in the future. On that day, the Lord, who has died and resurrected for our sins is the Lamb Jesus at the center of the throne. He will be the king of kings and personally shepherd us. He not only leads us to the spring of life, but also wipes off our tears. How satisfactory, joyful, and peaceful of such supreme glory is.

Prayer: Almighty Father God, thank You for Your glorious blessings. Although in this world there are sorrows, agonies, tears, and setbacks, I am confident that the Your promises will never change. Help me, and I am willing to continue in your faith, established and firm, and not move from the hope held out in the gospel (Col 1:23) until I see Your face. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
