讀經：使徒行傳第十六章。
默想：「約在半夜，保羅和西拉禱告唱詩讚美神，眾囚犯也側耳而聽。」（徒16:25）
默想一：你有沒有因信仰基督的緣故受到莫名的控告、無情打擊、惡意中傷、被人排擠過？在這樣的處境裡，向神禱告求施恩憐憫與唱詩讚美神哪樣容易？若沒有對神全然地信靠，半夜高唱信心之歌是不可能的。此時此刻，你的信心在哪裡？
默想二：神未曾應許基督徒的人生經常是天色常藍、花香常漫、常晴無雨、事事順暢。但神應許我們，無論黑夜多深、情況多糟糕，祂必賜我們夠用的恩典，使我們行路有光，危難有賴。環境會改變，但神對我們的愛永不改變。
禱告：阿爸父神，讚美袮！因祢是我在患難中的拯救，是我的詩歌，是我的力量。我深信袮是『天天背負我們重擔的主，是拯救我們的神』（詩68:19）。求祢加添我信心，無論情況如何，我仍要高唱信心之歌。奉耶穌寶貴的名禱告，阿們！
Bible Reading: Acts 16.
Insight: “About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.” (Act 16:25)
Insight one: Have you ever been inexplicably accused, mercilessly attacked, vilified, and excluded for believing in Christ? Under such situation, is singing a hymn to praise Him as easy as praying for God’s mercy? It is not possible to sing a hymn of faith in the middle of a gloomy night without fully trust in God. At such moment, where is your faith?
Insight two: For a Christian’s life, God has never promised that sky is always blue, flowers are always strewing, sun is always shining, and all things always go smoothly. But God does promise us that no matter how gloomy a dark night can be, how bad a situation can be, He will give us enough grace and light for the way to help us through the chaos. The surrounding environment changes but His love for us will never change.
Prayer: Abba Father, I praise You since You are my salvation, my song, and my strength. I am convinced that You are “my Savior, who daily bears my burdens” (Psa 68:19). Please strengthen my faith, no matter under what situation, I can still chant the praises of Faith. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, Amen!
