讀經：約翰一書第五章。
默想：「凡從神生的就勝過世界，使我們勝了世界的，就是我們的信心。勝過世界的是誰呢？不是那信耶穌是神兒子的嗎？」（約一5:4-5）
默想一：基督徒要「勝過世界」所指的「世界」是什麼？就是指那惡者所掌控的範圍。現今整個世界的制度，就像是一個龐大、誘惑人的機器，經常引誘我們離開神。魔鬼使勁一切的方法要誘導我們去放縱肉體的情慾，使我們成為罪的奴隸。我們若不勝過這樣的世界，我們就會被這世界所勝。
默想二：基督徒憑什麼能勝過這世界來的黑暗和罪惡？因為我們有不一樣的生命，就是擁有屬於神的兒女的生命，這生命使我們能向世界誇勝。耶穌基督在十字架上已經勝過魔鬼、世界、肉體和罪惡的權勢。我們憑信心接受耶穌基督為生命的救主並讓祂成為我們生活的主，祂就成為我們勝過世界的力量。
禱告：親愛的主，感謝袮把永生賜給我們，也把袮的得勝賜給我們。今天我們住在五花八門、花花綠綠、到處是陷阱的世界，求袮幫助我，我願依靠袮的大能大力，敢於跟這世界分別，並且不斷地提醒自己，「不要效法這個世界，只要心意更新而變化」（羅12:2）。奉主耶穌的名禱告，阿們！
Bible Reading: 1 John 5.
Insight: “for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. 5 Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.” (1Jh 5: 4-5)
Insight one: what type of the “world” is the world that Christians want to “overcome”? It refers to the regions the evil is manipulating. The system of the whole world today is like a huge, tempting machine that often lures us away from God. The devil uses everyway to induce us to indulge the lust of the flesh and makes us a slave of sin. If we cannot overcome such a world, we will be conquered by this world.
Insight two: Why can Christians overcome the darkness and evil of this world? It is because we have different lives, that is, to have the lives of God’s children. This life makes us to be able to triumph over the world. On the cross, Jesus Christ has overcome the power of the devil, the world, the flesh and the sin. By faith we accept Jesus Christ as the Savior of life and let Him be the Lord of our lives, and He becomes our strength to overcome the world.
Prayer: Dear Lord, thank You for giving us eternal life and giving us Your triumph. Today, we live in an omnifarious world full of lust and traps. Help me, I am willing to rely on Your strength, dare to be different from this world, and constantly remind myself that “do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” (Rom 12:2) I pray in the name of the Lord Jesus, Amen!
