讚美及感恩

耶 和 華 啊 ， 我 投 靠 你 ； 求 你 使 我 永 不 羞 愧 ； 憑 你 的 公 義 搭 救 我 ！
詩篇 31:1
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。」
聆聽主話 (列王紀下 2:23-25)

23 以 利 沙 從 那 裡 上 伯 特 利 去 ， 正 上 去 的 時 候 ， 有 些 童 子 從 城 裡 出 來 ， 戲 笑 他 說 ： 禿 頭 的 上 去 罷 ！ 禿 頭 的 上 去 罷 ！
24 他 回 頭 看 見 ， 就 奉 耶 和 華 的 名 咒 詛 他 們 。 於 是 有 兩 個 母 熊 從 林 中 出 來 ， 撕 裂 他 們 中 間 四 十 二 個 童 子 。
25 以 利 沙 從 伯 特 利 上 迦 密 山 ， 又 從 迦 密 山 回 到 撒 瑪 利 亞 。
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
After Elisha successfully gone through all four secret to receive his master, Elijah's baton, he was ready to do his prophetic ministry. Then, at this time, he was being bullied by 42 youths. Something terrible happened! Elisha cursed those 42 youths and then all 42 youths were being torn to pieces by two bears. Did God do that?
讓我們聽聽 John Goldingay 教授的教導:
讓我們聽聽 John Goldingay 教授的教導:
The story of the boys and the bears further underscores Elisha's importance as God's servant…the boys are jeering at someone whom anyone could recognize as a servant of God, and in bidding him to "go up" they are telling him to carry on past their city, to go away. Once again, while Jesus would no count forbid his disciples to act like Elisha as he forbade them to act like Elijah, his words show that it is only temporarily that people get away with belittling Jesus. In the end they will pay with their lives.

Belittling and bullying God's servant might cause someone life, can you imagine that? May be this is the time for all of us to try our best to honour God's servants and not to bully them!
Dear Lord Jesus,
Help us to be very careful not to say bad words against your servants, especially not bullying them so that we can live. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

省察問題
1. Do you think bullying God's servants really might cause someone's life? Why?
2. How can you try your best to honour God's servants?
