《今日靈修默想》:「我的恩典(是)夠你用的,因為我的能力是在人的軟弱上顯得完全。」「林後12:9)
默想一:你正跌到人生的谷底、處境艱難、遭遇痛苦嗎?轉向神吧!祂說過「我的恩典是夠你用的」。祂的恩典不是將夠用,而是現在就夠用,將來更夠用。你不必求主讓祂的恩典夠你用,因爲祂所應許的恩典早就夠用了。
默想二:你是為什麼事受苦?你的受苦冤枉嗎?還是值得?若是為基督的緣故,那你該為神容許的「刺」,如軟弱、凌辱、困苦而感恩。記得,苦難往往是主給你另一個化妝的祝福,因此不要輕看,乃要珍惜。
禱告:主耶穌,我感謝祢所賜且夠用的恩典。我不求祢挪開我人生的刺或苦難,我只求祢的能力在我這軟弱人的身上彰顯的完美。主!我願順服袮。奉耶穌基督寶貴的名禱告,阿們!
《Today’s spiritual meditation》: “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” (2Co 12:9)
Meditation one: Are you falling to the bottom of your life, in awkward situation and suffering? Turn to God! He said, “My grace is sufficient for you.” His grace is not only enough for the future, but also enough at present and more than adequate in the future. You don’t have to ask the Lord to make His grace be enough, because the grace He promised has already been enough.
Meditation two: Why are you suffering? Is your suffering unjustified? Or is it worth? If it is for Christ’s sake, you should be grateful for the “thorn” that God allows, such as weakness, humiliation, and hardship. Remember, suffering is often a hidden blessing that the Lord gives you. So, do not regard lightly, but cherish it.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, Thank You for the sufficient grace that You have given to me. I do not ask You to remove the thorns or sufferings from my life. I only ask for Your power is made perfect in my weakness. Lord, I am willing to obey. I pray in the precious name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
