30/6/2023 耶稣基督的仆人

罗1:1-4

耶稣基督的仆人保罗、奉召为使徒、特派传神的福音.这福音是神从前藉众先知、在圣经上所应许的、论到他儿子我主耶稣基督.按肉体说、是从大卫后裔生的, 按圣善的灵说、因从死里复活、以大能显明是神的儿子。

Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, set apart for the Good News of God, which he promised before through his prophets in the holy Scriptures, concerning his Son, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh,

who was declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord.

主耶稣!保罗清楚知道自己的身份, 职份, 职务, 和所要完全的使命。主啊!我也是知道自己的身份, 是耶稣基督的仆人, 像保罗一样, 我也是蒙恩得救的人, 蒙召为主做见证, 传神的福音。

29/6/2023 并没有人禁止

徒28:30-31

保罗在自己所租的房子里、住了足足两年。凡来见他的人、他全都接待、放胆传讲神国的道、将主耶稣基督的事教导人、并没有人禁止。

Paul stayed two whole years in his own rented house, and received all who were coming to him, preaching the Kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness, without hindrance.

主耶稣!在这里, 我从保罗身上学习到, 保罗在自己所租的房子里, 和放胆传讲神国的道。主啊!求圣灵赐给我聪明, 智慧,  在属于自己的地点, 并没有人禁止, 可以放胆传讲神国的道。

28/6/2023 放心壮胆

徒28:15

那里的弟兄们、一听见我们的信息、就出来到亚比乌市、和三馆地方迎接我们.保罗见了他们、就感谢神、放心壮胆。

From there the brothers, when they heard of us, came to meet us as far as The Market of Appius and The Three Taverns. When Paul saw them, he thanked God, and took courage.

主耶稣!使徒保罗与弟兄们团契的时候, 心里就得着了力量。主啊!我祈求, 有智慧, 要好好珍惜, 把握与弟兄们团契的时机。

27/6/2023 我信他怎样对我说

徒27:25-26

所以众位可以放心、我信神他怎样对我说、事情也要怎样成就。只是我们必要撞在一个岛上。

Therefore, sirs, cheer up! For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me. But we must run aground on a certain island."

主耶稣!使徒保罗对神向他所说的话, 即是, 前面要发生危险的事, 仍然深信不疑。主啊!我想起你对我们所说的话, 在世上有苦难, 但, 在主里面有平安。祢所赐的平安, 是这世界所不能够给予的。无论接下来世界要发生什么大事, 我们仍然深信主的话, 说, 我必快来!

26/6/2023 不要害怕

徒27:21-25

众人多日没有吃甚么、保罗就出来站在他们中间说、众位、你们本该听我的话、不离开革哩底、免得遭这样的伤损破坏。现在我还劝你们放心.你们的性命、一个也不失丧、惟独失丧这船。因我所属所事奉的神、他的使者昨夜站在我旁边说、保罗、不要害怕、你必定站在该撒面前.并且与你同船的人、神都赐给你了。

When they had been long without food, Paul stood up in the middle of them, and said, "Sirs, you should have listened to me, and not have set sail from Crete, and have gotten this injury and loss. Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship. For there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the God whose I am and whom I serve, saying, 'Don't be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. Behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you.'

主耶稣!原来保罗面对生命的危险, 心里也跟他人一样, 会感到害怕。主啊!当感到害怕的时候, 求圣灵向我心中说话, 叫我的心可以听见主的声音, 说, 不要害怕。

25/6/2023 真实明白话

徒26:24-26

保罗这样分诉、非斯都大声说、保罗、你癫狂了吧.你的学问太大、反叫你癫狂了。保罗说、非斯都大人、我不是癫狂、我说的乃是真实明白话。王也晓得这些事、所以我向王放胆直言、我深信这些事没有一件向王隐藏的.因都不是在背地里作的。

As he thus made his defense, Festus said with a loud voice, "Paul, you are crazy! Your great learning is driving you insane!" But he said, "I am not crazy, most excellent Festus, but boldly declare words of truth and reasonableness. For the king knows of these things, to whom also I speak freely. For I am persuaded that none of these things is hidden from him, for this has not been done in a corner.

主耶稣!使徒保罗凭无亏的良心, 做事光明磊落, 不背地里作事, 面对审查, 仍然是平静安稳。我的领悟, 无论对方是谁, 只要是我的心正, 不慌, 心里就有力量说真实明白话。因为, 心虚就会说不真实的话。主啊!求圣灵的感动, 常在我身上, 活出真实的我。以诚实与人交往, 以真实与人交流。

24/6/2023 公义, 节制和将来的审判

徒24:24-26

过了几天、腓力斯和他夫人犹太的女子土西拉、一同来到、就叫了保罗来、听他讲论信基督耶稣的道。保罗讲论公义、节制、和将来的审判、腓力斯甚觉恐惧、说、你暂且去吧、等我得便再叫你来。腓力斯又指望保罗送他银钱、所以屡次叫他来、和他谈论。

But after some days, Felix came with Drusilla, his wife, who was a Jewess, and sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ Jesus. As he reasoned about righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix was terrified, and answered, "Go your way for this time, and when it is convenient for me, I will summon you." Meanwhile, he also hoped that money would be given to him by Paul, that he might release him. Therefore also he sent for him more often, and talked with him. 主耶稣 !我领受到了一点, 使徒保罗与有知识的腓力斯, 讲公义, 节制和将来的审判。这正是有知识的人, 他们需要知道, 在神面前的他们必定要面对的。主啊!对公义, 节制和将来的审判, 所需要的知识, 求圣灵教导我, 装备我。

23/6/2023 自己勉励常存无亏的良心

徒24:14-16

但有一件事、我向你承认、就是他们所称为异端的道、我正按着那道事奉我祖宗的神、又信合乎律法的、和先知书上一切所记载的.并且靠着神、盼望死人、无论善恶、都要复活、就是他们自己也有这个盼望。我因此自己勉励、对神、对人、常存无亏的良心。

But this I confess to you, that after the Way, which they call a sect, so I serve the God of our fathers, believing all things which are according to the law, and which are written in the prophets; having hope toward God, which these also themselves look for, that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust. Herein I also practice always having a conscience void of offense toward God and men.

主耶稣!使徒保罗自己勉励, 对神, 对人, 要常存无亏的良心。主啊!我们也要常常省察, 自我勉励, 要有真理的知识, 也要把真理生活化, 在神面前有无亏的良心。

22/6/2023 放心吧

徒23:11

当夜、主站在保罗旁边说、放心吧、你怎样在耶路撒冷为我作见证、也必怎样在罗马为我作见证。

The following night, the Lord stood by him, and said, "Cheer up, Paul, for as you have testified about me at Jerusalem, so you must testify also at Rome."

主耶稣!使徒保罗, 面对生命的危险, 神都晓得, 祢向他显现, 说, 放心吧, 主啊!我相信, 我们所面对的挑战, 神都晓得, 放心吧, 这话也是给我们的, 感谢祢的说。

21/6/2023 不可毁谤你百姓的官长

徒23:2-5

大祭司亚拿尼亚、就吩咐旁边站着的人打他的嘴。保罗对他说、你这粉饰的墙、神要打你.你坐堂为的是按律法审问我、你竟违背律法、吩咐人打我么。站在旁边的人说、你辱骂神的大祭司么。保罗说、弟兄们、我不晓得他是大祭司.经上记着说、『不可毁谤你百姓的官长。』

The high priest, Ananias, commanded those who stood by him to strike him on the mouth. Then Paul said to him, "God will strike you, you whitewashed wall! Do you sit to judge me according to the law, and command me to be struck contrary to the law?" Those who stood by said, "Do you malign God's high priest?" Paul said, "I didn't know, brothers, that he was high priest. For it is written, 'You shall not speak evil of a ruler of your people.'"

主耶稣!使徒保罗明明知道大祭司亚拿尼亚的不义, 却是不忘圣经的教诲, 不可毁谤你百姓的官长。主啊!这也是我们所需要的认知, 明知上位者有不对, 也不可以毁谤。

20/6/2023 愿主的旨意成就

徒21:4, 10-14

找着了门徒、就在那里住了七天.他们被圣灵感动、对保罗说、不要上耶路撒冷去。..我们在那里多住了几天、有一个先知、名叫亚迦布、从犹太下来。到了我们这里、就拿保罗的腰带、捆上自己的手脚、说、圣灵说、犹太人在耶路撒冷、要如此捆绑这腰带的主人、把他交在外邦人手里。我们和那本地的人、听见这话、都苦劝保罗不要上耶路撒冷去。保罗说、你们为甚么这样痛哭、使我心碎呢.我为主耶稣的名、不但被人捆绑、就是死在耶路撒冷、也是愿意的。保罗既不听劝、我们便住了口、只说、愿主的旨意成就便了。

Having found disciples, we stayed there seven days. These said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem...As we stayed there some days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea. Coming to us, and taking Paul's belt, he bound his own feet and hands, and said, "Thus says the Holy Spirit: 'So will the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man who owns this belt, and will deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.'" When we heard these things, both we and they of that place begged him not to go up to Jerusalem. Then Paul answered, "What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus." When he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, "The Lord's will be done."

主耶稣!使徒保罗知道, 前面将会遇到生命的危险, 也深知道这是出于神的旨意, 要他上耶路撒冷。主啊!我们的祷告, 在我们身上, 将会发生的事, 出于神旨意的, 我不会违抗, 也不会违避, 我祈求, 愿主的旨意成就。

19/6/2023 凡事给你们作榜样

徒20:33-35

我未曾贪图一个人的金、银、衣服。我这两只手、常供给我和同人的需用、这是你们自己知道的。我凡事给你们作榜样、叫你们知道、应当这样劳苦、扶助软弱的人、又当记念主耶稣的话、说、施比受更为有福。

I coveted no one's silver, or gold, or clothing. You yourselves know that these hands served my necessities, and those who were with me. In all things I gave you an example, that so laboring you ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'"

主耶稣!使徒保罗, 在生活作息, 生计, 行事为人, 教导真理, 面对逼迫, 逆境顺境, 生命危险, 凡事给我们作榜样。主啊!我们天天都要记念主耶稣的话, 时时刻刻都需要圣灵的充满, 好叫我们在凡事上有智慧, 晓得以身作则, 乐意付出劳苦, 无私扶助软弱的人, 叫父得荣耀。

18/6/2023 昼夜不住的流泪

徒20:31-32

所以你们应当儆醒、记念我三年之久、昼夜不住的流泪、劝戒你们各人。如今我把你们交托 神、和他恩惠的道.这道能建立你们、叫你们和一切成圣的人同得基业。

Therefore watch, remembering that for a period of three years I didn't cease to admonish everyone night and day with tears. Now, brothers, I entrust you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build up, and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.

主耶稣!我寻思, 为羊群昼夜不住的流泪的牧者, 有谁?主啊!求圣灵感动每个牧者, 都能以心灵诚实事奉神, 以感恩, 怜恤的心牧养神的子民。

Saturday, June 17, 2023

17/6/2023 不爱惜羊群

徒20:28-30

圣灵立你们作全群的监督、你们就当为自己谨慎、也为全群谨慎、牧养神的教会、就是他用自己血所买来的。我知道我去之后、必有凶暴的豺狼、进入你们中间、不爱惜羊群。就是你们中间、也必有人起来、说悖谬的话、要引诱门徒跟从他们。

Take heed, therefore, to yourselves, and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the assembly of the Lord and God which he purchased with his own blood. For I know that after my departure, vicious wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Men will arise from among your own selves, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.

主耶稣!我看见教会, 有影响力的领袖, 说悖谬的话, 引诱门徒跟从他们。主啊!我祈求, 牧养神教会的领袖, 更多为自己谨慎, 不去追捧明星级的讲员, 不恋慕名利, 地位, 更多专心牧养神的子民, 单单引领他们到父神面前。

16/6/2023 只要行完我的路程

徒20:22-24

现在我往耶路撒冷去、心甚迫切、不知道在那里要遇见甚么事.但知道圣灵在各城里向我指证、说、有捆锁与患难等待我。我却不以性命为念、也不看为宝贵、只要行完我的路程、成就我从主耶稣所领受的职事、证明神恩惠的福音。

Now, behold, I go bound by the Spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there;

except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions wait for me. But these things don't count; nor do I hold my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to fully testify to the Good News of the grace of God.

主耶稣!我看见使徒保罗, 有着非常清楚的人生目标, 只要行完证明神恩惠福音的路程, 成就他从主耶稣所领受的职事。主啊!我的祷告祈求, 这也是我的人生目标, 一生锁定, 要证明神恩惠的福音。

15/6/2023 服事主凡事谦卑

徒20:18-21

他们来了、保罗就说、你们知道、自从我到亚西亚的日子以来、在你们中间始终为人如何、服事主凡事谦卑、眼中流泪、又因犹太人的谋害、经历试炼。你们也知道、凡与你们有益的、我没有一样避讳不说的.或在众人面前、或在各人家里、我都教导你们.又对犹太人、和希利尼人、证明当向神悔改、信靠我主耶稣基督。

When they had come to him, he said to them, "You yourselves know, from the first day that I set foot in Asia, how I was with you all the time, serving the Lord with all humility, with many tears, and with trials which happened to me by the plots of the Jews; how I didn't shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, teaching you publicly and from house to house, testifying both to Jews and to Greeks repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus.

主耶稣!服事主凡事谦卑, 这是使徒保罗服事主的心态。主啊!求主提升我们的思维, 原来, 我们都是服事者, 不再以帮助人的心态, 以帮助者自称,  而是单纯的以服事的心态, 要甘心乐意, 谦卑服事。

14/6/2023 灵魂还在身上

徒20:9-10

有一个少年人、名叫犹推古、坐在窗台上、困倦沉睡.保罗讲了多时、少年人睡熟了、就从三层楼上掉下去.扶起他来、已经死了。保罗下去、伏在他身上、抱着他、说、你们不要发慌、他的灵魂还在身上。

A certain young man named Eutychus sat in the window, weighed down with deep sleep. As Paul spoke still longer, being weighed down by his sleep, he fell down from the third story, and was taken up dead. Paul went down, and fell upon him, and embracing him said, "Don't be troubled, for his life is in him."

主耶稣!众人都认为少年人已经死了, 唯有使徒保罗, 认为灵魂还在少年人身上。主啊!求圣灵打开我心中的眼睛,当众人都认为没有希望的时候, 我却能够看见, 圣灵所要成就荣耀神的事。

Monday, June 12, 2023

13/6/2023 就是这样

徒19:18-20

那已经信的、多有人来承认诉说自己所行的事。平素行邪术的、也有许多人把书拿来、堆积在众人面前焚烧.他们算计书价、便知道共合五万块钱。主的道大大兴旺而且得胜、就是这样。

Many also of those who had believed came, confessing, and declaring their deeds. Many of those who practiced magical arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. They counted their price, and found it to be fifty thousand pieces of silver.

So the word of the Lord was growing and becoming mighty.

主耶稣!今早的经文, 主的道大大兴旺而且得胜, 就是这样, 人承认隐藏的罪, 焚烧家中神所憎恶之物。这是专心传道所带来的现象。主啊!这是我的祷告, 圣灵大大的运行在新加坡, 马来西亚, 全国每个信徒的心里, 起来, 齐心兴旺主的道, 就是这样的事, 也要发生在新加坡, 马来西亚,。

12/6/2023 念咒赶鬼

徒19:13-16

那时、有几个游行各处、念咒赶鬼的犹太人、向那被恶鬼附的人、擅自称主耶稣的名、说、我奉保罗所传的耶稣、敕令你们出来。作这事的、有犹太祭司长士基瓦的七个儿子。恶鬼回答他们说、耶稣我认识、保罗我也知道.你们却是谁呢。恶鬼所附的人、就跳在他们身上、胜了其中二人、制伏他们、叫他们赤着身子受了伤、从那房子里逃出去了。

But some of the itinerant Jews, exorcists, took on themselves to invoke over those who had the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, "We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches."

There were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did this. The evil spirit answered, "Jesus I know, and Paul I know, but who are you?" The man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overpowered them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.

主耶稣!原来没有建立与祢的关系, 用祢的名赶鬼, 是念咒赶鬼, 主啊!求神赦免我们忽略与祢建立的关系, 还在用祢的名赶鬼。若不是神的恩典, 施恩保护, 我们早已被魔鬼攻击。感谢圣灵的保守。

Saturday, June 10, 2023

11/6/2023 神藉保罗的手

徒19:11-12

神藉保罗的手、行了些非常的奇事.甚至有人从保罗身上拿手巾、或围裙、放在病人身上、病就退了、恶鬼也出去了。

God worked special miracles by the hands of Paul, so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were carried away from his body to the sick, and the evil spirits went out.

主耶稣!神藉保罗的手, 行了些非常的奇事。保罗没有因为被神大大使用, 夺取了神的荣耀, 仍然专注, 不忘只传耶稣基督的救恩。主啊!我相信, 只要我们专心传耶稣基督的救恩, 神也会藉我们的手, 行非常的奇事。

Friday, June 9, 2023

9/6/2023 奉主耶稣的名受洗

徒19:3-6 

保罗说、这样、你们受的是甚么洗呢。他们说、是约翰的洗。保罗说、约翰所行的是悔改的洗、告诉百姓、当信那在他以后要来的、就是耶稣。他们听见这话、就奉主耶稣的名受洗。保罗按手在他们头上、圣灵便降在他们身上.他们就说方言、又说预言。〔或作又讲道〕

He said, "Into what then were you baptized?" They said, "Into John's baptism." Paul said, "John indeed baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe in the one who would come after him, that is, in Jesus." When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. When Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke with other languages and prophesied.

主耶稣!我在回想, 发生在我身上的经历, 有悔改的洗, 和奉主名受洗, 并圣灵的充满。那一天, 被天父的爱所感动, 被圣灵的光照, 认识祢就是真理, 认罪悔改。然而, 生活上并没有不同, 直等到被圣灵充满, 爱灵修祷告, 开始有胆量与人分享天国的福音。主啊!我祈求, 凡悔改信主的, 都被圣灵所充满, 都爱灵修祷告, 并且放胆为主作见证。

8/6/2023 神若许我

徒18:11,19-21

保罗在那里住了一年零六个月、将神的道教训他们。...到了以弗所、保罗就把他们留在那里、自己进了会堂、和犹太人辩论。众人请他多住些日子、他却不允.

就辞别他们说、神若许我、我还要回到你们这里.于是开船离了以弗所。

He lived there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them....He came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews. When they asked him to stay with them a longer time, he declined;

but taking his leave of them, and saying, "I must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem, but I will return again to you if God wills," he set sail from Ephesus.

主耶稣!使徒保罗有圣灵的同行, 完全顺服圣灵的带领, 不坚持一定要照做自己所设定的。我们有许多的计划, 少了保罗所说的, 神若许我。主啊!我愿意顺服圣灵, 在计划上敏锐圣灵的带领。

7/6/2023 不要怕, 只管讲, 不要闭口

徒18:9-10

夜间主在异象中对保罗说、不要怕、只管讲、不要闭口.有我与你同在、必没有人下手害你.因为在这城里我有许多的百姓。

The Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision, "Don't be afraid, but speak and don't be silent; for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many people in this city."

主耶稣!祢在异象中, 向保罗所说的话, 不要怕, 只管讲, 不要闭口, 也是向着我们说的。主啊!我们听见了, 不要怕, 只管讲, 我们祷告, 求主打开传福音的门, 因为在这城里还有许多的未得之民。

Monday, June 5, 2023

6/6/2023 同住作工

徒18:1-3

这事以后、保罗离了雅典、来到哥林多。遇见一个犹太人、名叫亚居拉、他生在本都.因为革老丢命犹太人都离开罗马、新近带着妻百基拉、从义大利来.保罗就投奔了他们。他们本是制造帐棚为业.保罗因与他们同业、就和他们同住作工。

After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth. He found a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by race, who had recently come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome. He came to them, and because he practiced the same trade, he lived with them and worked, for by trade they were tent makers.

主耶稣!我的领悟, 使徒保罗在蒙召之前, 所有的装备, 再往后的宣教之路, 息息相关。主啊!我们的人生, 每一步都算数。求主帮助, 在人生的每一个阶段, 我都要珍惜所学习到的。在宣教的路上, 也不会忘记工作, 在工作中宣教。

Sunday, June 4, 2023

5/6/2023 已经定了日子

徒17:30-31

世人蒙昧无知的时候、神并不监察、如今却吩咐各处的人都要悔改。因为他已经定了日子、要借着他所设立的人、按公义审判天下.并且叫他从死里复活、给万人作可信的凭据。

The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked. But now he commands that all people everywhere should repent, because he has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained; of which he has given assurance to all men, in that he has raised him from the dead."

主耶稣!神已经定了日子, 要按公义审判天下。 主啊!审判天下的日子已经定了, 感谢神, 救赎恩典也已经成就来, 神也吩咐各处的人都要悔改。这是何等奇妙全备的救恩。

Saturday, June 3, 2023

4/6/2023 生活动作存留

徒17:28

我们生活、动作、存留、都在乎他.就如你们作诗的、有人说、我们也是他所生的。

'For in him we live, and move, and have our being.' As some of your own poets have said, 'For we are also his offspring.'

主耶稣!保罗说, 我们生活, 动作, 存留都在乎神。主啊!我的心充满感恩, 我的诞生不意外, 乃是出于上帝的美旨, 生活, 动作, 仍是要活出见证神的荣耀。

3/6/2023 把主的道讲给他和他全家的人听

徒16:31-32

他们说、当信主耶稣、你和你一家都必得救。他们就把主的道、讲给他和他全家的人听。

They said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household." They spoke the word of the Lord to him, and to all who were in his house.

主耶稣!保罗晓的上帝的应许, 家中一人信主耶稣, 救恩就会临到他的全家。保罗就把主的道讲给他和他全家的人听。主啊!求祢赐给我智慧, 把主的道讲给我的家人听。

2/6/2023 更多与圣灵同行

徒16:26-30

忽然地大震动、甚至监牢的地基都摇动了.监门立刻全开、众囚犯的锁炼也都松开了。禁卒一醒、看见监门全开、以为囚犯已经逃走、就拔刀要自杀。保罗大声呼叫说、不要伤害自己、我们都在这里。禁卒叫人拿灯来、就跳进去、战战兢兢的、俯伏在保罗西拉面前。又领他们出来、说、二位先生、我当怎样行才可以得救。

Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone's bonds were loosened. The jailer, being roused out of sleep and seeing the prison doors open, drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped. But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, "Don't harm yourself, for we are all here!"He called for lights and sprang in, and, fell down trembling before Paul and Silas, and brought them out and said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"

主耶稣!我好惊讶, 监门全开, 保罗, 西拉和众囚犯, 没有人离开, 结果, 禁卒也因此得救。许多时候, 我们的祷告, 是求神救我们脱离在工作上的困境, 忘了在困境中向神献上赞美的祭。困境解除时, 就赶紧走人, 错失了为神作见证的机会。主啊!教导我, 更多与圣灵同行, 更多体贴圣灵。
