《新年靈修默想二》：「你的日子如何，你的力量也必如何。」（申33:25）
默想一：神對祂兒女的祝福怎麼不說：「你的力量如何，你的日子也必如何」，而是「你的日子如何，你的力量也必如何」？神知道我們人的力量有限，神不要我們用世人那「人定勝天」的天真想法和辦法。基督徒是被神從世界分別出來的，我們是屬神的，是耶穌基督的門徒，我們要「活出」信靠神的日子，才能「得著」來自神的力量。
默想二：面向新年，你對未來有把握嗎？就連明天將發生什麼，沒有人知道。但是信靠神的人可以放心，因為神明確地應許：「你的日子如何，你的力量也必如何」。這對我們是有力的提醒、激勵和安慰。主耶穌不要我們為明天憂慮，但要我們先求神的國和祂的義，其他的事包括未來祂會全權處理。我們信靠顺服，行在主的旨意中，主必與我們同在，祂的同行是我們前進的力量。
禱告：阿爸父神，感謝袮。因袮是我們力量的所在。我真的不知道今年將發生什麼，但我會抓住袮必同在的應許。我相信袮說的：「我的恩典是夠你用的」（林後12:9）。求袮堅固我的信心，讓我勇敢地面對未來，每天活出袮的得勝。奉耶穌基督的名禱告，阿們！
《New Year meditation 2》: “Your strength will equal your days.” (Deu 33:25)
Meditation one: Why does God bless His children and not say: “Your days will equal your strength”, instead say: “Your strength will equal your days”? God knows that human’s strength is limited, and God does not want us to adopt the world’s naive perception and means that “man can always conquer the nature”. Christians are sanctified from the world by God. We belong to God and are disciples of Jesus Christ. We must “live out” the life by trusting God in order to “receive” the strength from God.
Meditation two: While sailing into the New Year, do you have assurance of the future? No one even knows how tomorrow will be. But for those who trust in God can rest assured, because God has clearly promised: “Your strength will equal your days”. This is a powerful reminder, inspiration, and comfort to us. The Lord Jesus wants us not to worry about tomorrow, and asks us to seek God’s kingdom and His righteousness first, and He will handle everything else including the future. We simply trust and obey, walk in the will of the Lord, the Lord will be with us, and His companionship is the strength for us to move forward.
Prayer: God Abba Father, thank You because You are the source of our strength. I really don’t know what will happen this year, but I will take hold of Your promise of being my companion. I trust what You have said: “My grace is sufficient for you” (2Co 12:9). Please strengthen my faith, let me face the future bravely, and live out Your victory every day. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
