《今日靈修默想》:「你們要休息(安靜),要知道我是神」。(詩46:10)

默想一:現代人生活的特徵是什麼?就是忙碌!莽撞!茫然!可能錢是賺到了,名利是有了,但若是失去了親情、婚姻、友誼、健康,那太不值得。神今天要對你說「朋友,休息吧!」休息並不是懶惰,乃是放下自己的掙扎,讓神來做。我們越忙碌的時候,是我們更要安靜的時候,休息不僅能聽見神微小的聲音,更重要的是讓我們從新得力,走更遠的路。

默想二:你在背著一天比一天更沉重的擔子嗎?你在被莫名的痛苦所壓得透不過氣嗎?趕快來到主耶穌跟前,祂了解你的處境,祂明白你的掙扎,祂能使你得安息!主耶穌正在發出愛的呼喚,祂說:「凡勞苦擔重擔的人,可以到我這裏來,我就使你們得安息」(太11:28)。你願意接受他的邀請嗎?

禱告:天父上帝,感謝袮所賜出人意外的平安,也謝謝所應許的安息。求袮提醒我,不要中了魔鬼的圈套,以為越忙越有成就。也求袮賜我智慧,在忙裡學會在袮面前安息;越忙碌時,不是忙亂,而是更親近袮,讀經禱告更紮實。奉主耶穌的名禱告,阿們!

《Today’s spiritual meditation》:  “Be still, and know that I am God.” (Psa 46:10)

Meditation one: What are the characteristics of today’s modern life? Only busy! Reckless! Dazed! Maybe money is made, fame and fortune are achieved, but if you lose your family relationship, marriage, friendship, health, it is not worth it. God is going to say to you today, “Friend, be still!” Resting is not laziness, it is to lay down your struggles and let God do it. The busier we are, the more we need to be still. Not only can we hear the whisper of God during rest, but more importantly, allow us to renew our strength and walk further ahead.

Meditation two: Are you carrying a heavier and heavier burden day after day? Are you overwhelmed by inexplicable pain? Come to the Lord Jesus, He understands your situation, He knows your struggles, and He can give you rest! The Lord Jesus is making a calling with love. He says, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” (Mat 11:28). Are you willing to accept His invitation?

Prayer: God Heavenly Father, thank You for giving me Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, and thank You for Your promised rest. Please remind me not to fall into the trap of the devil, thinking that the busier I become, the more achievement I can accomplish. Also, please give me wisdom and learn to rest in Your presence while I am busy. At busier moment, I should not be panic but come even nearer to You, read Bible, and pray more firmly. I pray in the name of the Lord Jesus, Amen!
