《今日靈修默想》：「凡事要奉我們主耶穌基督的名，常常感謝父神。」（弗5:20）
默想一：「凡事奉主耶穌基督的名」所講的「凡事」是指任何事嗎？是包括到賭場裡作樂？熬夜打麻將？合伙行騙或陷害人？當然不是！凡被聖靈充滿並順從聖靈引導的人，不可能做與神的旨意相反的事。他在聖靈的管理下，必然會知道什麼是榮耀主名的事。
默想二：基督徒為什麼凡事都要「奉主耶穌基督的名」行事？因這權柄是主耶穌親自給我們的特權。主的名代表主自己和主的權威，我們是信靠主的名得救，又奉主的名禱告，並憑主的名領受各種屬靈的福分。
禱告：感謝天父上帝，因祢所賜的應許與特權。求祢指教我，讓我善用禱告而不是濫用。也幫助我的每天都靠袮「常常喜樂，凡事謝恩」。奉主耶穌得勝的名禱告。阿們！
《Today’s spiritual meditation》: “Always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Eph 5:20)
Meditation one: While saying “always in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ”, does the word “always” mean everything? Does it include having fun in a casino, staying up late playing mahjong, partnering to cheat, or ensnaring? Of course it is not! It is not possible for anyone who has been filled with the Holy Spirit and follows the guidance of the Holy Spirit to do something against God’s will. Under the authority of the Holy Spirit, one surely knows what deeds can honor the Lord.
Meditation two: Why should Christians do everything “always in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ “? It is because this authority is the privilege that the Lord Jesus personally gives to us. The name of the Lord represents the Lord Himself and the Authority of the Lord. We are saved in the name of the Lord, and pray in the name of the Lord, as well as receive all the spiritual blessings in the name of the Lord.
Prayer: Thank God heavenly Father for Your promise and privilege that have given to me. Please teach me, so that my prayer is comely instead of abusive. Also help me, through You, on each day I can “rejoice always, give thanks in all circumstances”. I pray in the victorious name of Jesus. Amen!
