1. 停下來. 靜一靜
2. 等候主. 深呼吸經歷主之平安, 感受主的臨在, 呼出你的憂慮
讚美及感恩
1. 思想最近使你開心歡笑的時刻
2. 為那些時刻及有關的人感恩
3. 敞開心懷讚美主
諸 天 述 說 神 的 榮 耀 ; 穹 蒼 傳 揚 他 的 手 段 。
詩篇 19:1
1. 求聖靈在你生命中工作
"親愛的聖靈, 求你光照我心靈的深處, 使我看見我的罪, 我和主耶穌的阻隔,
求你幫助, 奉主耶穌基督名求。阿們。"
2. 透過聖靈的工作, 安靜一刻, 省察自己, 之後祈禱:
「親愛的主耶穌,感謝你為我的罪釘死在十字架上,我願意在你面前承認我的罪(凡聖靈光照到的,請逐一說出),求你用你的寶血赦免我的罪,我願意打開心門讓你作我的救主,求你救贖我,我願意一生跟隨你讓你作我生命的主,求你帶領我。聖靈,求你充滿我,使我得著恩賜及力量去事奉主、見證主。奉主耶穌基督名求,阿們。」

23 王 說 : 這 婦 人 說 活 孩 子 是 我 的 , 死 孩 子 是 你 的 , 那 婦 人 說 不 然 , 死 孩 子 是 你 的 , 活 孩 子 是 我 的 ,
24 就 吩 咐 說 : 拿 刀 來 ! 人 就 拿 刀 來 。
25 王 說 : 將 活 孩 子 劈 成 兩 半 , 一 半 給 那 婦 人 , 一 半 給 這 婦 人 。
26 活 孩 子 的 母 親 為 自 己 的 孩 子 心 裡 急 痛 , 就 說 : 求 我 主 將 活 孩 子 給 那 婦 人 罷 , 萬 不 可 殺 他 ! 那 婦 人 說 : 這 孩 子 也 不 歸 我 , 也 不 歸 你 , 把 他 劈 了 罷 !
27 王 說 : 將 活 孩 子 給 這 婦 人 , 萬 不 可 殺 他 ; 這 婦 人 實 在 是 他 的 母 親 。
28 以 色 列 眾 人 聽 見 王 這 樣 判 斷 , 就 都 敬 畏 他 ; 因 為 見 他 心 裡 有 神 的 智 慧 , 能 以 斷 案 。
列王紀上 3:23-28
現在讓你有一段安靜的時間, 給聖靈一個空間, 讓主耶穌可以藉着你剛才讀過的經文, 對你說話:
我的聆聽
This is a classic example of what spiritual authority is. Do you want to have the wisdom and spiritual authority Solomon have? Or, do you think that, "Well, I am not worthy to have that. That's Solomon, I am just a little guy."
讓我們聽聽 John Goldingay 教授的教導:
Like many a great insight, Solomon's solution to the problem is obvious was soon as he has enunciated it, yet it is a stroke of genius. It is an expression of wisdom because it is uttered in the course of his exercising authority for the community. The king's task is to see that decisions get taken in a proper way for people. His vocation does not focus on economics or international relations but on seeing that right gets done.
John Goldingay. 1 and 2 Kings for Everyone. Louisville,KY: Westminster John Knox Press, 2011, p.20
Let's review how Solomon received this kind of spiritual authority:
1. Pray - He prayed for wisdom and not for any other thing
2. Receive - God gave him an opportunity to exercise the wisdom he just received
3. Act -Solomon acted on that proving that he had the wisdom of a genius
4. Fruit - All people were in awe
Most people stop on Step 2. They pray and God give, but they do not have the courage or discernment to act, showing no fruit!
How about you?
Dear Lord Jesus,
Help us to be willing and able to go through all four steps so that we can use the spiritual authority you give us to do the right thing. In Jesus Name I pray. Amen.

省察問題
1. What do you think of this four steps?
2. Are you willing to act on that when you got an opportunity next time?
