《今日靈修默想》:「你們務要警醒:在真道上站立得穩;要作大丈夫;要剛強。凡你們所做的,都要憑愛心而做。」(林前16:13-14)

默想一:基督徒面對末世黑暗的權勢、異端邪說、社會亂象、道德敗壞、婚姻瓦解時,我們要退縮、妥協、放棄嗎?神絕不要我們效法這世界的標準及潮流。相反地,祂要我們警醒,因為假先知、假教師越來越多,我們必須在神的話語上下功夫,把神的話語刻在心版上,反覆思想才能在真道上站稳,在靈命上長大成熟,在凡事上表現剛強。

默想二:基督徒只要在真道上盡到捍衛、堅守、實踐、見證的責任就夠了嗎?我們還要在生活上盡上彰顯基督愛的責任,做每一件事都以愛為出發點。當基督徒在愛中彼此相顧、彼此同心,不僅沒有給撒旦留下破口,反而讓別人看出我們是基督的門徒。

禱告:天父上帝,感謝袮的愛與拯救。我們的世界越來越黑暗,也越來越不安,但袮在基督裡已經賜給我們得勝的確據。求神幫助我們,在黑暗中為袮發光,在迷失中顯明袮的真理,在軟弱中彰顯袮的大能。求袮指引我,我願在真道上竭力追求,藉著每一天的讀經和禱告與神同行。奉耶穌基督的名禱告,阿們!

《Today’s spiritual meditation》:  “Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. Do everything in love.” (1Co 16:13-14)

Meditation one: When Christians face the power of the darkness, heresies, social chaos, moral corruption, and the breakdown of marriage at the end of days, are we going to retreat, compromise, and give up? God does not want us to follow the values and trends of this world. On the contrary, He wants us to watch and guard, because there are more and more false prophets, false teachers. We must work diligently in God’s Word, write the Word of God on the tablet of our hearts and ponder over in order to stand firm in the truth, to grow maturity in spirit, and be strong in all things.

Meditation two: For Christians, Is it enough to just fulfill their responsibilities of defending, adhering, practicing, and witnessing in the truth? We must also fulfill the responsibility of showing the love of Christ in our lives, and do all things with love as our starting point. When Christians look after each other in love and care for one another, not only does not leave an attackable spot for Satan, but let others see that we are disciples of Christ.

Prayer: God heavenly Father, thank You for your love and salvation. Our world has been becoming darker and more anxious. But being in Christ, You have given us the assurance of victory. May God help us to shine for You in the darkness, to reveal the truth of You in the wanders, and to show your strength among the weaknesses. Please guide me, I would like to press on Your truth and, through daily Bible reading and praying to walk with God. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
