讀經:約書亞記第三章

默想:約書亞吩咐百姓說:「你們要自潔,因為明天耶和華必在你們中間行奇事。」(書3:5)

默想一:被神使用一定要讀過神學院的訓練或讀過聖經一遍嗎?不一定!但在神面前的自潔,過分別為聖的生活很重要。因為我們的神是聖潔的,非聖潔沒有人能見主。你要在教會、家庭、職場、學校裡見證神嗎?我們的責任,是在神面前渴慕聖潔、追求聖潔、活出聖潔。

默想二:神要在以色列人中間行大事唯一的要求是什麼?先要他們自潔。可見自潔是他們攻破敵人的要件,因為神只為自潔的人爭戰。人若自潔,脫離卑賤的事,就必作貴重的器皿,成為聖潔,合乎主用(提後2:21)

禱告:主耶穌,感謝祢明白指示合乎祢用的條件和打贏屬靈爭戰的秘訣。求祢的聖靈引導我,讓我在祢的光中活出祢的聖潔以及祢榮美的形像。奉祢寶貴的聖名禱告。阿們!

Bible Reading: Joshua 3

Insight:  “Joshua told the people, “Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do amazing things among you.”” (Jos 3:5)

Insight one: Is it necessary to receive seminary training or read through the Bible once in order to be used by God? Not necessary! Instead that consecrate yourself before God and living a sanctified life are very critical. Because our God is holy, without holiness no one will see the Lord. Do you want to witness God in church, at home, around workplace, and at school? Our responsibility is to yearn for holiness, pursue holiness, and live out holiness before God.

Insight two: What is the sole requirement for God to do amazing things among the Israelites? They must consecrate themselves first. It is clear that consecrate themselves is essential for them to victory over the enemy, because God only fights for consecrated people. Those who cleanse themselves from the latter will be instruments for special purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work. (2 Timothy 2:21)

Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank You for clearly teaching the essentials of being used by You and the secret of winning a spiritual warfare. Please guide me by Your Holy Spirit and let me live out Your holiness and Your glorious beauty in Your light. I pray in Your precious holy name. Amen!
