《今日靈修默想》:「呼喊吧!因為耶和華已經把城交給你們了。」(書6:16)
默想一:神工作的原則是什麼?祂工作但要人用信心的行動配合。若以色列人不呼喊,城牆不會倒,因為神不會為不信的人成就任何事。我們常喜歡問「為什麼?」,事實上神的回答很簡單:「孩子啊,不為什麼,你只要信而順服我。」從最小的事情上,操練順從主吧。
默想二:真正的順服容易嗎?不容易但需要操練。神所要的是我們內在的降服。裡面順服神了,外面的順服才有實際的意義。什麼時候人順服神,什麼時候神就伸出祂大能的手,移走敵人巨大的障礙。
禱告:感謝主,因祢賜我得勝的確據。我的信心不夠,求祢幫助我,我願接受祢的磨練、對付、更新,直到完全地順服祢。走天路不容易,但我相信在祢的陪伴下,必能得勝有餘。奉耶穌寶貴的名禱告。阿們!
《Today’s spiritual meditation》: “Shout! For the Lord has given you the city!” (Jos 6:16)
Meditation one: What is the principle of God’s work? He works but asks people to work with the actions of faith accordingly. If the Israelites did not shout, the walls would not fall, because God would not do anything for people not believer in Him. We often like to ask “why”. In fact, God’s answer is simple: “Child, why not, you just have to believe and obey me.” Start from the most trivial thing, exercise obedience to the Lord.
Meditation two: Is it easy to submit true obedience? It is not easy and requires exercise. What God wants from us is the inner submission. Submit to God within then the outer recognizable obedience will bring truthful significance. Whenever one obeys God, God will reach out His mighty hand and removes the great forts from the adversaries.
Prayer: Thank the Lord for giving me assurance of triumph. I don’t have enough faith so please help me. I am willing to accept your training, schooling, and revival until I obey You wholly. It’s not easy to walk on the heavenly pathway, but I believe that as You accompany me, I can be more than a conqueror. I pray in Jesus’ precious name. Amen!
