 安靜

1.  停下來. 靜一靜

2.  等候主. 深呼吸經歷主之平安, 享受神同在, 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

知罪，認罪，悔改 (Subjective Shifting Devotion Method 轉位靈修法  https://bishopsilas.blogspot.com/2009/08/count-down-5-subject-shifting-devotion.html

1. 求聖靈光照，使你知罪，願意認罪悔改 
     "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侍奉主、見證主，奉主耶穌基督名求，阿們。」

3.  司徒德牧師每天早上的 "活像基督"祈禱 John Stott's daily prayer of Christlikeness (Christopher J.H. Wright, Cultivating the fruit of the Spirit. Downers Grove, IL: InterVarsity Press, 2017, 13)

   "天父，求你使我今天活在你的同在中，你一天比一天更喜悦我。

    主耶穌，求你使我今天能背起我的十字架去跟隨你。

    聖靈，求你在今天充滿我，使你的果子能彰顯在我的生命中: 仁愛，喜樂，和平，忍耐，恩慈，良善，信實，温柔及節制。"

             

親親爸父, 唱詩歌頌

 

今日親親親爸父經文連結: http://twa.pastoralcareschool.org/

親親爸父經文:(詩篇 61:5-8; 士師記 9:22-10:18; 路加福音 24:13-53;  箴言 14:11-12)  

     5 神 啊 ， 你 原 是 聽 了 我 所 許 的 願 ； 你 將 產 業 賜 給 敬 畏 你 名 的 人 。

6 你 要 加 添 王 的 壽 數 ； 他 的 年 歲 必 存 到 世 世 。

7 他 必 永 遠 坐 在 神 面 前 ； 願 你 預 備 慈 愛 和 誠 實 保 佑 他 ！

8 這 樣 ， 我 要 歌 頌 你 的 名 ， 直 到 永 遠 ， 好 天 天 還 我 所 許 的 願 。

詩篇 61:5-8

現在讓你有一個安靜的時刻，給聖靈一個空間，讓主耶穌可以藉着剛才讀過的經文，親自對你説話。

 

 今日我從主耶穌領受的主題是: 大衞所許的願? 你所許的願?  

    昨天我們思想詩篇61篇的上集，認識到大衞從心𥚃發昏，焦慮、無助、無望、黑暗及抑鬱的光景中，忽然因着一句説話，開始數算主以往的帶領，感受主的同在，重新對將來充滿希望!

    今天我們看下集的這四節，特别從第六節可以知道大衞當時已做了王，祇是他因兒子押沙龍的追殺，王位沒有了，命也恐怕保不了。第七節更可看到他因着走難，離開了他每天都能在聖殿裏，在神面前歌颂讚美主的福份。

    原來大衞王所許的願就是能天天在聖殿中歌颂讚美主! 

    我在這疫情中有如大衛被追殺的心境一樣，我想教會二千年歷史，包括舊約時代的歷史，從未試過整個世界的人不能到聖殿敬拜主，雖然由2022年開始教會再次可以有實體崇拜，但現在仍然有很多基督徒因各種原因選擇在網上崇拜或停止了崇拜! 

    所以我的許願如大衞一樣，有更多的人能在主日再次回到聖殿歌頌讚美主，敬拜主!

        你所許的願? 
               

    親愛的主耶穌, 
    求你應允我在今天如大衞王一様對你所許的願，有更多的人能在主日再次回到聖殿歌頌讚美你，敬拜你，奉主耶穌基督名求，阿們。 

省察問題 

 1. 今日的信息對你有何啓發?  主耶穌現在對你説甚麽話?

 2. 你的下一步是什麼行動?

   

     家庭角落

找機會與家人一起分享今日的領受。

Bible in one year by Nicky Gumbel:

https://bibleinoneyear.org/en/

Silence

1.   Put on your “brakes” and stop for a moment of silence

2.   Wait for God. Breathe deep for God's peace and feel His presence. Exhale your worries.

Praise and Thanksgiving

1.   Think through your day, all the times that made you smile

2.   Thank God for all those moments, and for all those people

3.   Sing a song to praise God (you are welcome to use "Father, I adore you" which I have been singing every morning for the past 20 years or your own choice to praise God)

          Father, I adore You, lay my life before You, how I love You.

          Jesus, I adore You, lay my life before You, how I love You.

          Spirit, I adore You, lay my life before You, how I love You.

      

Confession and Repentance (Subjective Shifting Devotion Method) 

https://bishopsilas.blogspot.com/2009/08/count-down-5-subject-shifting-devotion.html

1.  Pray for the Holy Spirit to shine on you that you are able to discover your sins and be willing to repent:

     “Dear Holy Spirit, shine your light into the places of darkness in my life. Show me my sins, everything that blocks me from encountering God and having Jesus as my Lord. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.”

2.  Through the Holy Spirit, examine yourself for a short silence and then pray:

     "Dear Lord Jesus, thank you for dying on the cross for our sins and being victorious over death and sin. I confess my sins to you(pause, to tell Jesus what the Holy Spirit has shown you). Forgive my sins by your blood and help me follow you. Holy Spirit, fill me that I may be able to receive your gifts to love God and His people. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen."

3.  John Stott's daily prayer of Christlikeness (Christopher J.H. Wright, Cultivating the fruit of the Spirit. Downers Grove, IL: InterVarsity Press, 2017, 13)

(Please click this link to see how God used John Stott to change my life:https://bishopsilas.blogspot.com/2009/07/

           "Heavenly Father, I pray that this day I may live in your presence and please you more and more.

             Lord Jesus, I pray that this day I may take up my cross and follow you.

             Holy Spirit, I pray that this day you will fill me with yourself and cause your fruit to ripen in my life: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control."

The Word, Time with Abba (Psalm 61:5-8, Judges 9:22-10:18; Luke 24:13-53; Proverbs 14:11-12)

    Today's key passage: 

    

           For you, God, have heard my vows;

    you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.

6 Increase the days of the king’s life,
    his years for many generations.
7 May he be enthroned in God’s presence forever;
    appoint your love and faithfulness to protect him.

8 Then I will ever sing in praise of your name
    and fulfill my vows day after day.

Psalm 61:5-8

Let's have a time to be still and give the Holy Spirit space to speak through the passage we have just read. Offer this time to Jesus as you listen to Him. 

   

     My Listening

    The topic I received today from Jesus is:  David's vows to God? Your vows to God?

    Yesterday we meditated on the first four verses of Psalm 61 and we learned from David of how he turned from anxiety, helplessness, hopelessness, darkness and depression to have the hope and confirmation for the unknown future because of God's prompting!

    Today we meditate on the last four verses of this Psalm. We may be able to have a clue from verse six that David was already a King at that time and he should be running away from his son Absalom's chasing to kill him. And from verse seven we can see that because of that running away, he could not sing praises and worship God daily in the Holy Temple of Jerusalem.

    Oh! That was the vows David made to God and it is for him to be able to sing praises to God and worship God daily in the Holy Temple!

    I am having the same feeling as David had! I think there has not been a time in the past two thousand years of the history of the Christian Church and not in the Old Testament time that no one can be able to go to the holy temple to sing praises to God and worship God! Almost never happened!

    Praise the Lord that started two years ago, all churches reopened but quite a number of churches have less than half of their members willing to go back to church to worship but to choose online or other ways!

    So, my vows are the same as what King David had, that we can be able to go back to our church to sing praises to God and worship God again! No other wish or vow is greater than this!

     What are your vows to God now?

     

     Dear Lord Jesus,  

     Hear my vows today as you heard King David vows that we can be able to go back to our church to sing praises to you and worship you as soon as possible. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

    Reflect on these questions:

     1. What inspiration have you received from today's catch and what have you heard from Jesus now?

      

      2.  What is your next step to be more closer to Jesus, to be holy - that is to do what Jesus wants you to do and not to do what Jesus wants you not to do?
