讀經:馬太福音第十一章

默想:「凡勞苦擔重擔的人,可以到我這裡來,我就使你們得安息。」(太11:28)

默想一:你正在被千斤重擔壓肩頭,以致活的很幸苦嗎?不論是因與罪惡掙扎所招來的重擔,或是因經濟壓力、工作不順、家庭不睦、子女不聽話、事奉無果效、人際關係緊張、因信仰遭排擠、或各種的重擔。今天,主耶穌誠摯地邀請你,祂說:「朋友,你來!我要送你禮物,就是心靈的安息。」

默想二:怎樣的人才會接受耶穌的邀請?就是那些承認自己是勞苦擔重擔的人,並且相信只有耶穌能掙脫這些重擔的人。只要祢肯來,你就得安息。凡靠著主進到神面前的人,祂都能拯救到底,因為祂是長遠活著,替他們祈求(來7:25)

禱告:親愛的主,感謝祢所賜的真安息。我承認自己常常為許多的事忙碌,甚至忙到不知道為什麼忙,只知道越忙越不得安息。主!赦免我過去的莽撞和無知。今天,我願意接受祢的邀請,並珍惜每一刻,活在祢的安息裡。奉主耶穌的名祈求。阿們!

Bible Reading: Matthew 11.

Insight:  “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” (Mat 11:28)

Insight one: Are your carrying heavy burden on your shoulder? Regardless it is due to the burden of struggle with sin, or due to financial stress, crumple career, unhappy families, disobedient children, unfruitful service, tension in relationships, exclusion due to belief, and many other burdens; today, the Lord Jesus sincerely sends an invitation to you. He said, “Friend, come! I will give you a gift, which is to have your soul enter into rest”.

Insight two: What type of people will accept Jesus’ invitation? They are those who acknowledge themselves to be burdensome and believe that only Jesus can break away from these burdens. As long as you are willing to come, you will rest in peace. He is able to save completely those who come to God through Him, because He always lives to intercede for them (Heb 7:25).

Prayer: Dear Lord, thank You for giving me Your true rest. I admit that I have been often busy with many things, and I am so busy that I even don’t know why, I just know that the busier I am, the more restless I become. Lord! Forgive my past recklessness and foolishness. Today, I am willing to accept Your invitation and cherish every moment to live in Your rest. I pray in the name of the Lord Jesus. Amen!
