1/2/2024 基督的诚实在我里面

林后11:10-12

既有基督的诚实在我里面、就无人能在亚该亚一带地方阻挡我这自夸。为甚么呢.是因我不爱你们么.这有神知道。我现在所作的、后来还要作、为要断绝那些寻机会人的机会、使他们在所夸的事上、也不过与我们一样。

As the truth of Christ is in me, no one will stop me from this boasting in the regions of Achaia. 

Why? Because I don't love you? God knows.  But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them that desire an occasion, that in which they boast, they may be found even as we.

主耶稣!我看到使徒保罗的安稳, 因为有基督的诚实在他的心里。使徒保罗不会被人了闲言闲语攻击受影响, 为要断绝那些寻机会人的机会。主啊!我要建立基督的诚实在我的心里, 面对人对我的批评, 论断, 控告,闲言闲语, 背后说我的不是, 都不再影响我爱主爱人的价值观。

31/1/2024 蛇用诡诈诱惑了夏娃

林后11:3-4

我只怕你们的心或偏于邪、失去那向基督所存纯一清洁的心、就像蛇用诡诈诱惑了夏娃一样。假如有人来、另传一个耶稣、不是我们所传过的.或者你们另受一个灵、不是你们所受过的.或者另得一个福音、不是你们所得过的.你们容让他也就罢了.

But I am afraid that somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve in his craftiness, so your minds might be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.  For if he who comes preaches another Jesus, whom we did not preach, or if you receive a different spirit, which you did not receive, or a different "good news", which you did not accept, you put up with that well enough.

主耶稣!蛇用诡诈诱惑了夏娃, 这是人坠落的零起点。主啊!这也是我们要谨慎严守的地点, 什么时候有甜言蜜语, 那里是眼目常爱看的, 耳朵爱听的, 心里有所喜悦, 常认为不能没有之物, 馋嘴的。求主圣灵光照, 使我有辨别的能力, 可以认出哪些是出于恶者的。

30/1/2024 当指着主夸口

林后10:17-18

但夸口的当指着主夸口。因为蒙悦纳的、不是自己称许的、乃是主所称许的。

But "he who boasts, let him boast in the Lord." For it isn't he who commends himself who is approved, but whom the Lord commends.

主耶稣!我们空着手诞生, 一无所有, 成长, 成人, 如今, 不再是空手, 拥有许多, 却没有满足感, 有时候还向神发怨气。主啊!求神赦免我们的无知, 不晓得已经是蒙恩蒙福, 求主祝福我, 脱离浪子回头里大哥的不成熟思维, 我要更多地感恩, 有智慧指着主夸口, 荣耀主名。

29/1/2024 我已经预备好了

林后10:3-6

因为我们虽然在血气中行事、却不凭着血气争战.我们争战的兵器、本不是属血气的、乃是在神面前有能力、可以攻破坚固的营垒、将各样的计谋、各样拦阻人认识神的那些自高之事、一概攻破了、又将人所有的心意夺回、使他都顺服基督.并且我已经预备好了、等你们十分顺服的时候、要责罚那一切不顺服的人。

For though we walk in the flesh, we don't wage war according to the flesh; for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds, throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ; and being in readiness to avenge all disobedience, when your obedience will be made full.

主耶稣!我已经预备好了, 首先我要顺服基督, 同时操练来到神面前得能力, 并将自己的心意夺回, 归向神。主啊!求圣灵光照我的心思意念, 那里有自高的观念, 有坚固的魂结营垒, 求圣灵相助, 叫我靠主一概攻破。求主祝福我, 有智慧能力, 去扶助他人, 引导他人夺回心意, 归向父神。

28/1/2024 谦卑与勇敢

林后10:1-2

我保罗、就是与你们见面的时候是谦卑的、不在你们那里的时候向你们是勇敢的、如今亲自借着基督的温柔和平、劝你们。有人以为我是凭着血气行事、我也以为必须用勇敢待这等人、求你们不要叫我在你们那里的时候、有这样的勇敢。

Now I Paul, myself, entreat you by the humility and gentleness of Christ; I who in your presence am lowly among you, but being absent am bold toward you. Yes, I beg you that I may not, when present, show courage with the confidence with which I intend to be bold against some, who consider us to be walking according to the flesh. 

主耶稣!我看到使徒保罗的智慧, 善用谦卑与勇敢。这也是祢为我们设立的榜样。主啊!求圣灵充满, 好叫我也活出谦卑和勇敢的生命。什么时候谦卑, 什么时候勇敢, 有刚中智慧的一面, 也有柔中果敢的时刻。不躲避问题, 不逃避责任, 不优柔寡断。, xe

27/1/2024 说不尽的恩赐

林后9:15 

感谢神、因他有说不尽的恩赐。

Now thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift!

主耶稣!我们从神那里, 领受了说不尽的恩赐, 我们有数不清的过犯, 然而, 过犯不如恩赐, 因一人的过犯, 众人都死了, 神的恩典, 因耶稣基督一人恩典中的赏赐,  就加倍的临到众人, 我们得着救恩, 同时得与天父和好, 进入命定, 有永远的福乐。主啊!这一切, 都是神的恩赐, 不是人手所能够完成的。

26/1/2024 仁义存到永远

林后9:8-11

神能将各样的恩惠、多多的加给你们.使你们凡事常常充足、能多行各样善事.如经上所记、『他施舍钱财、赒济贫穷.他的仁义存到永远。』那赐种给撒种的、赐粮给人吃的、必多多加给你们种地的种子、又增添你们仁义的果子.叫你们凡事富足、可以多多施舍、就借着我们使感谢归于神。

And God is able to make all grace abound to you, that you, always having all sufficiency in everything, may abound to every good work. As it is written, "He has scattered abroad, he has given to the poor. His righteousness remains forever." Now may he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food, supply and multiply your seed for sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness; you being enriched in everything to all liberality, which works through us thanksgiving to God.

主耶稣!祢再来时, 地上有形的一切都会消失, 在神所定的律, 唯有行仁义, 结仁义果子的, 他的仁义随着他进入永恒。主啊!我明白了, 神已经将各样的恩惠, 多多的加给我们了, 我们在凡事上常常是充足的, 现在, 正是我们多行各样善事, 多结仁义果子的时候。

25/1/2024 捐得乐意

林后9:5-7

因此、我想不得不求那几位弟兄、先到你们那里去、把从前所应许的捐资、预备妥当、就显出你们所捐的、是出于乐意、不是出于勉强.少种的少收、多种的多收.这话是真的。各人要随本心所酌定的.不要作难、不要勉强.因为捐得乐意的人、是神所喜爱的。

I thought it necessary therefore to entreat the brothers that they would go before to you, and arrange ahead of time the generous gift that you promised before, that the same might be ready as a matter of generosity, and not of greediness. Remember this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly. He who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Let each man give according as he has determined in his heart; not grudgingly, or under compulsion; for God loves a cheerful giver.

主耶稣!捐得甘心乐意, 这是我知道的, 但是, 看到领受的一方, 不能好好管理, 也不懂得珍惜, 更不懂得感恩, 影响了我的心情。主啊!求祢赐给我有分辨真伪的知识, 敢于诚实直言表白的能力, 为神所喜爱的, 捐得乐意。

24/1/2024 热心

林后8:22-23

我们又打发一位兄弟同去.这人的热心、我们在许多事上、屡次试验过、现在他因为深信你们、就更加热心了。论到提多、他是我的同伴、一同为你们劳碌的.论到那两位弟兄、他们是众教会的使者、是基督的荣耀。

We have sent with them our brother, whom we have many times proved earnest in many things, but now much more earnest, by reason of the great confidence which he has in you. As for Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker for you. As for our brothers, they are the apostles of the assemblies, the glory of Christ.

主啊!我在自问, 我的热心在那里?我为什么发热心?我爱神, 爱家人, 爱教会的热心, 经得起考验吗?我爱失丧的灵魂, 有多强烈?爱神的仆人, 有多深。主啊!求圣灵常常在我心中, 引导我的心, 热爱神的公义, 正直, 热爱叫神的名得着荣耀。更热爱见证主耶稣基督的名。

23/1/2024 留心行光明的事

林后8:19-21

不但这样、他也被众教会挑选、和我们同行、把所托与我们的这捐资送到了、可以荣耀主、又表明我们乐意的心。这就免得有人因我们收的捐银很多、就挑我们的不是。我们留心行光明的事、不但在主面前、就在人面前、也是这样。

Not only so, but who was also appointed by the assemblies to travel with us in this grace, which is served by us to the glory of the Lord himself, and to show our readiness. We are avoiding this, that any man should blame us concerning this abundance which is administered by us. Having regard for honorable things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.

主耶稣!我静思的时候, 想到祢在世所行的一切, 没有任何瑕疵, 仍然有人会说攻击祢的话。主啊!我要向祢学习, 不被人的话所绑架, 只要专心, 留心行光明的事, 一心一意为荣耀主的名行事。

Sunday, January 21, 2024

22/1/2024 愿作的心

林后8:11-12

如今就当办成这事.既有愿作的心、也当照你们所有的去办成。因为人若有愿作的心、必蒙悦纳、乃是照他所有的、并不是照他所无的。

But now complete the doing also, that as there was the readiness to be willing, so there may be the completion also out of your ability. For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according to what you have, not according to what you don't have.

主耶稣!我们犯了一个严重的错误, 就是把神的话当作神话故事。把在神凡事都能, 这句话当祈祷用语。原本是本身能够作的事, 却没有去作。主啊!我要振作起来, 相信圣灵在我身上动的善工, 我所要的是恢复我愿作的心, 我所需要用到的一切, 神必有预备。

Saturday, January 20, 2024

21/1/2024 爱心的实在

林后8:6-8

因此我劝提多、既然在你们中间开办这慈惠的事、就当办成了。你们既然在信心、口才、知识、热心、和待我们的爱心上、都格外显出满足来、就当在这慈惠的事上、也格外显出满足来。我说这话、不是吩咐你们、乃是借着别人的热心、试验你们爱心的实在。

So we urged Titus, that as he made a beginning before, so he would also complete in you this grace. But as you abound in everything, in faith, utterance, knowledge, all earnestness, and in your love to us, see that you also abound in this grace. I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love.

主耶稣!是的, 我们经常说要作的善行, 稍微有点阻力, 心里不喜悦, 就会寻求借口, 不去完成任务。主啊!求神赦免我们在爱心上的不真实。求神为我打开传福音的门, 有实在爱失丧灵魂的心。

20/1/2024 先把自己献给主

林后8:5

并且他们所作的、不但照我们所想望的、更照神的旨意、先把自己献给主、又归附了我们。

This was not as we had hoped, but first they gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God.

主耶稣!这是何等重要的指示, 照神的旨意, 先把自己献给主, 再归附于人。主啊! 这是我们所要更新的思维, 先以神的公义, 正直, 荣耀主名为思想的主轴, 不再像过去, 总是以要如何讨好他人, 担心冒犯人。求圣灵引导我, 常常操练先把自己献给主。

19/1/2024 受大试炼的时候

林后8:1-2

弟兄们、我把神赐给马其顿众教会的恩告诉你们.就是他们在患难中受大试炼的时候、仍有满足的快乐、在极穷之间、还格外显出他们乐捐的厚恩。

Moreover, brothers, we make known to you the grace of God which has been given in the assemblies of Macedonia; how that in much proof of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded to the riches of their liberality.

主耶稣!我看见了马其顿众教会所看见的, 他们在患难中, 受大试炼的时候, 仍然没有忘记自己是蒙恩的人, 他们因心存感恩,有满足的快乐,在极穷之间,  仍然不忘报恩。主啊!我们生活在富裕中, 忘记自己是蒙恩的人, 忘了向身边的人施恩, 求神赦免我们的自我中心, 只顾自己, 忽视弱势人群的需要。我们要向马其顿教会看齐。

18/1/2024 从忧愁中生出懊悔以致得救

林后7:8-11

我先前写信叫你们忧愁.我后来虽然懊悔、如今却不懊悔.因我知道那信叫你们忧愁、不过是暂时的。如今我欢喜、不是因你们忧愁、是因你们从忧愁中生出懊悔来.你们依着 神的意思忧愁、凡事就不至于因我们受亏损了。因为依着 神的意思忧愁、就生出没有后悔的懊悔来、以致得救.但世俗的忧愁、是叫人死。你看、你们依着 神的意思忧愁、从此就生出何等的殷勤、自诉、自恨、恐惧、想念、热心、自责, 在这一切事上你们都表明自己是洁净的。

For though I made you sorry with my letter, I do not regret it, though I did regret it. For I see that my letter made you sorry, though just for a while. I now rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that you were made sorry to repentance. For you were made sorry in a godly way, that you might suffer loss by us in nothing. For godly sorrow works repentance to salvation, which brings no regret. But the sorrow of the world works death. For behold, this same thing, that you were made sorry in a godly way, what earnest care it worked in you. Yes, what defense, indignation, fear, longing, zeal, and vengeance! In everything you demonstrated yourselves to be pure in the matter.

主耶稣!感谢神的话语, 从忧愁中生出懊悔, 以致得救。这节经文, 带给我劝勉, 安慰和扶持。主啊!我的良心被光照, 看见自己的过错, 败坏, 良心受到责备, 甚至心里忧愁。谢谢圣灵的帮助, 我不再在忧愁中停留, 我要进入到懊悔, 痛悔, 归回到主面前。

17/1/2024 当洁净自己

林后7:1

亲爱的弟兄阿、我们既有这等应许、就当洁净自己、除去身体灵魂一切的污秽、敬畏神、得以成圣。

Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

主耶稣!祢的宝血已经洗净我们一切的不义, 因着祢救赎的恩典, 一次的献祭, 使我们可以成为圣洁的子民。主啊!神看我们是圣洁的, 我们也当洁净自己, 天天都要除去污秽的心, 贪财, 贪便宜, 贪吃, 骄傲自满的心态, 除去邪情和大大小小的恶念。求神祝福我们, 天天有主恩惠的相助, 跨越冷漠自私自利的心理。求圣灵天天充满, 天天洁净自己, 与神的圣洁对齐对接, 活出荣美, 喜乐的人生。

16/1/2024 我们是永生神的殿

林后6:16-18

神的殿和偶像有甚么相同呢.因为我们是永生神的殿.就如神曾说、『我要在他们中间居住、在他们中间来往.我要作他们的神、他们要作我的子民。』 又说、『你们务要从他们中间出来、与他们分别、不要沾不洁净的物、我就收纳你们。我要作你们的父、你们要作我的儿女。』这是全能的主说的。

What agreement has a temple of God with idols? For you are a temple of the living God. Even as God said, "I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they will be my people." Therefore "'Come out from among them, and be separate,' says the Lord. 'Touch no unclean thing. I will receive you. I will be to you a Father. You will be to me sons and daughters,' says the Lord Almighty."

主耶稣!我们是永生神的殿, 神的殿, 是尊贵, 荣耀的。主啊!我要看重神的殿, 要活出尊荣的生命, 求圣灵将活出尊贵, 荣耀生命的智慧, 知识, 聪明, 能力, 无时无刻在我的心思意念中运行, 叫我不只是有分辨是非, 善恶的功能, 更叫我有体贴圣灵的作为, 荣耀永生神的殿。

15/1/2024 宽宏的心

林后6:11-13

哥林多人哪、我们向你们、口是张开的、心是宽宏的。你们狭窄、原不在乎我们、是在乎自己的心肠狭窄。你们也要照样用宽宏的心报答我.我这话正像对自己的孩子说的。

Our mouth is open to you, Corinthians. Our heart is enlarged. You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted by your own affections. Now in return, I speak as to my children, you also be open wide.

主耶稣!我们可以察觉到身边小心眼, 心胸狭窄的人, 却没有留意到, 自己也有同样心胸狭窄的问题。主啊!几时我不肯忘记人的闲言闲语, 几时不愿意放弃追究人的过错, 几时不甘心乐意去饶恕人对我的冒犯。求圣灵及时光照, 提醒我, 我是蒙恩的人。帮助我, 引导我建立宽宏的心。

Wednesday, January 10, 2024

11/1/2024 基督的爱激励我们

林后5:14-14

原来基督的爱激励我们.因我们想一人既替众人死、众人就都死了.并且他替众人死、是叫那些活着的人、不再为自己活、乃为替他们死而复活的主活。

For the love of Christ constrains us; because we judge thus, that one died for all, therefore all died. He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again.

主耶稣!今早的经文, 使我想到母亲的爱, 对我生命的影响。主啊!祢爱我, 承担我的罪刑。祢爱我, 赐下圣灵, 叫我借着重生得救, 圣灵住在我里面, 与我同行。祢爱我, 恢复我的身份, 称我为神的孩子, 给我永生的生命, 为我预备永恒的住宿。祢以不变的爱, 不离不弃的爱, 爱我到底。如今我活着, 我要爱祢, 分享主的爱, 报答主对我的爱。

Tuesday, January 9, 2024

10/1/2024 我们在神面前是显明的

林后5:10-11

因为我们众人、必要在基督台前显露出来、叫各人按着本身所行的、或善或恶受报。我们既知道主是可畏的、所以劝人、但我们在神面前是显明的、盼望在你们的良心里也是显明的。

For we must all be revealed before the judgment seat of Christ; that each one may receive the things in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are revealed to God; and I hope that we are revealed also in your consciences.

主耶稣!经上说, 人死后会有审判, 凡人所说的闲话, 当审判的日子, 必要句句供出来。我知道主是可畏的, 我们在神面前是显明的, 主啊!我承认说了许多批评, 论断政府, 教会的话, 说了许多谎言, 背后说人的恶言, 是非的话。还有传虚假信息, 造谣中伤他人的话, 在情绪失控, 说了伤害家人的话。求神赦免我嘴唇不洁的罪, 也主耶稣基督的宝血洗净我的心灵, 求主为我造一个清洁的心, 叫我以心灵诚实敬畏神, 敬拜主我的神。

Monday, January 8, 2024

9/1/2024 立了志向

林后5:8-10

我们坦然无惧、是更愿意离开身体与主同住。所以无论是住在身内、离开身外、我们立了志向、要得主的喜悦。因为我们众人、必要在基督台前显露出来、叫各人按着本身所行的、或善或恶受报。

We are courageous, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home with the Lord. Therefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well pleasing to him. For we must all be revealed before the judgment seat of Christ; that each one may receive the things in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

主耶稣!我们在一年的开始, 习惯性写新的一年的目标, 结果, 年复一年, 原地踏步的多, 前进的步伐少之又少。主啊!早上的经文, 使我看到, 我少了立下心志, 也缺乏在心志上的操练, 五分钟热度, 快速走回老路。求主圣灵的感动常在我的心里, 有智慧立定志向, 使我晓得天天数算主在我身上的恩典。

Sunday, January 7, 2024

8/1/2024 是凭着信心

林后5:5-7

为此培植我们的就是神、他又赐给我们圣灵作凭据。所以我们时常坦然无惧、并且晓得我们住在身内便与主相离。因我们行事为人、是凭着信心、不是凭着眼见。

Now he who made us for this very thing is God, who also gave to us the down payment of the Spirit. Therefore we are always confident and know that while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord; for we walk by faith, not by sight.

主耶稣!我的理性主导我的选择, 在不知不觉中, 常凭着眼见的进行分析, 作决定。其实, 我更多的决定, 是顺着感觉。主啊!祢的话语提醒我, 我有神的话, 又有圣灵作凭据, 我不要再像过去, 因为未认识祢, 作事只凭眼见。现在, 我认识祢, 我要祷告, 寻求主的面, 借着神的话, 凭着信心去行, 要爱圣灵, 行事为人不再单凭自己心中所爱的。

7/1/2024 必得神所造

林后5:1-3

我们原知道、我们这地上的帐棚若拆毁了、必得神所造、不是人手所造、在天上永存的房屋。我们在这帐棚里叹息、深想得那从天上来的房屋、好象穿上衣服.倘若穿上、被遇见的时候就不至于赤身了。

For we know that if the earthly house of our tent is dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens. For most certainly in this we groan, longing to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven; if so be that being clothed we will not be found naked.

主耶稣!许多时候, 我们对某些东西有感情, 总是放不下, 而这些东西都是不重要的。结果, 却失去了神要我们去拥有的。主啊!这世上有形有体, 都是短暂的, 都会成为过去, 唯有叫神得荣耀, 要永远长存。求圣灵相助, 叫我有决心, 要渴慕神的荣耀,  得着力量, 去追寻荣耀神的事, 对荣耀神的事有深度的情怀。

6/1/2024 成就极重无比永远的荣耀

林后4:15-18 

凡事都是为你们、好叫恩惠因人多越发加增、感谢格外显多、以致荣耀归与神。所以我们不丧胆.外体虽然毁坏、内心却一天新似一天。我们这至暂至轻的苦楚、要为我们成就极重无比永远的荣耀。原来我们不是顾念所见的、乃是顾念所不见的.因为所见的是暂时的、所不见的是永远的。

For all things are for your sakes, that the grace, being multiplied through the many, may cause the thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.  Therefore we don't faint, but though our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is for the moment, works for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory;  while we don't look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

主耶稣!使徒保罗晓得, 他所经历的一切, 乃是要成就极重无比永远的荣耀, 主啊!我要祈求圣灵的光照, 在面对生活中的逆境时, 受到的苦楚, 有信心宣告, 这一切都是至暂至轻的, 并且, 这些都是要为我成就极重无比永远的荣耀。哈利路亚!我不再像过去, 有苦楚时, 我更要歌颂赞美主。

Thursday, January 4, 2024

5/1/2024 我们因信

林后4:13-14

但我们既有信心、正如经上记着说、『我因信、所以如此说话。』我们也信、所以也说话.自己知道、那叫主耶稣复活的、也必叫我们与耶稣一同复活、并且叫我们与你们一同站在他面前。

But having the same spirit of faith, according to that which is written, "I believed, and therefore I spoke." We also believe, and therefore also we speak; knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus, and will present us with you.

主耶稣!我想起, 经上说, 信心没有行为是死的。主啊!我们可以开口与人说话, 说了许多话, 却是没有说到关于祢的事, 求祢赦免我们的不信。在新的一年, 我们信祢是基督, 道路, 真理, 生命, 我因信, 要用信心开口与人分享关乎祢的事。

Wednesday, January 3, 2024

4/1/2024 身上常带着耶稣的死

林后4:7-10

我们有这宝贝放在瓦器里、要显明这莫大的能力、是出于神、不是出于我们。我们四面受敌、却不被困住.心里作难、却不至失望.遭逼迫、却不被丢弃.打倒了、却不至死亡.身上常带着耶稣的死、使耶稣的生、也显明在我们身上。

But we have this treasure in clay vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves. 

We are pressed on every side, yet not crushed; perplexed, yet not to despair; pursued, yet not forsaken; struck down, yet not destroyed; always carrying in the body the putting to death of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.

主耶稣!我看到使徒保罗身上常带着耶稣的死, 他不在乎自己的生死, 只在乎主耶稣的名, 在他身上得着荣耀。主啊!在新的一年, 我祈求更敏锐于圣灵的感动, 在更多的事上能够荣耀神的名。不再为了满足自己的感觉, 消灭了圣灵的感动, 失去了圣灵在我身上活出神荣美的机会。

Tuesday, January 2, 2024

3/1/2024 不是传自己

林后4:5-6

我们原不是传自己、乃是传基督耶稣为主、并且自己因耶稣作你们的仆人。那吩咐光从黑暗里照出来的神、已经照在我们心里、叫我们得知神荣耀的光、显在耶稣基督的面上。

For we don't preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake; seeing it is God who said, "Light will shine out of darkness," who has shone in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

主耶稣!我想起祢的话说, 正如人子来, 不是要受人的服事, 乃是要服事人。并且要舍命, 作多人的赎价。主啊!我看见使徒保罗因耶稣作信徒们的仆人, 求圣灵的感动常与我同在, 能够有仆人的心态事奉神, 服事神的家和信徒。不是在传自己有多本事, 乃是在凡事上尊主为大。

Monday, January 1, 2024

2/1/2024 只将真理表明出来

林后4:1-2

我们既然蒙怜悯、受了这职分、就不丧胆.乃将那些暗昧可耻的事弃绝了、不行诡诈、不谬讲神的道理.只将真理表明出来、好在神面前把自己荐与各人的良心。

Therefore seeing we have this ministry, even as we obtained mercy, we don't faint. But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by the manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

主耶稣!祢是道路, 真理, 生命, 祢将我们引到父神面前。主啊!在新的一年, 我祈求神, 赐给我智慧, 聪明, 谋略的灵, 引导我, 在生活作息, 在生计上, 凡事都遵循神的法则, 好叫我在人群中, 将真理表明出来, 有影响力, 引领更多人认识神的羔羊, 认识主耶稣基督的十字架, 接受主耶稣基督的救恩, 与天父和好。
