讀經:使徒行傳第二十七章

默想:『所以眾位可以放心,我信神他怎樣對我說:事情也要怎樣成就。』(徒27:25)

默想一:你的信仰有成為你周圍的人的祝福嗎?當別人在危難中呼天叫地時,你憑什麼能叫他們放心?使徒保羅在驚濤駭浪中能叫船上的人『放心』,是憑著他『所事奉的神』的應許,那應許是『神怎樣對我說,事情也要怎樣成就』。出於神的話,沒有一句不帶能力的 (路1:37)。

默想二:你信得過神所說的每一句話嗎?你是否毫不懷疑神怎樣對你說,事情也要怎樣成就呢?大難當前,小信的人會說:『神真的能嗎?』但對相信神的話的人會說:『神真的能!』神是萬有的主宰,一切都本於祂,倚靠祂,歸於祂。祂是使死人復活的神,也是使無變為有的神。

禱告:天父上帝,感謝袮。因草必枯乾,花必凋殘,唯有袮的話必永遠立定(賽40:8)。求你教導我,每日藉著讀袮的話與袮同行。讓我渴慕袮的話,如鹿切慕溪水。袮說什麼,我們就信什麼;袮命令我什麼,我就遵行什麼;袮指引我什麼,我就順服什麼。奉耶穌基督的名禱告,阿們!

Bible Reading: Acts 27.

Insight:  “So keep up your courage, men, for I have faith in God that it will happen just as He told me.” (Act 27:25)

Insight one: Has your faith become a blessing to those people around you? When others desperately call for help in distress, based on what can you encourage them? The apostle Paul based on the promise from “the God I serve” and was able to “encourage” the people on the ship in the tempestuous waves, which “will happen just as He told me. For no word from God will ever fail (Luk 1:37).

Insight two: Do you truly believe every word that God has said? Do you have no doubt that things will happen just as God tells you? When encounter disasters, people of little faith will say, “Can God really do it?” But people who truly believe in God’s words will say, “God really can”! God is the ruler of all things, from whom all things come, rely on and live for. He is the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being things that were not.

Prayer: God heavenly Father, thank You. While the grass withers and the flowers fall, but Your word endures forever(Isa 40:8). Please teach me to walk with You every day by reading Your words. As the deer pants for streams of water, so I pant for Your words. Whatever you tell us, we believe; anything you command me, I follow; everything You teach me, I obey. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
