安靜
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
但 願 人 因 耶 和 華 的 慈 愛 和 他 向 人 所 行 的 奇 事 都 稱 讚 他 ；
 因 為 他 打 破 了 銅 門 ， 砍 斷 了 鐵 閂 。
        詩篇 107:15-16
                
認罪悔改  
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,
        求主幫助, 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 (約書亞記 2: 12-24)
12 現 在 我 既 是 恩 待 你 們 ， 求 你 們 指 著 耶 和 華 向 我 起 誓 ， 也 要 恩 待 我 父 家 ， 並 給 我 一 個 實 在 的 證 據 ，
13 要 救 活 我 的 父 母 、 弟 兄 、 姊 妹 ， 和 一 切 屬 他 們 的 ， 拯 救 我 們 性 命 不 死 。
14 二 人 對 他 說 ： 你 若 不 洩 漏 我 們 這 件 事 ， 我 們 情 願 替 你 們 死 。 耶 和 華 將 這 地 賜 給 我 們 的 時 候 ， 我 們 必 以 慈 愛 誠 實 待 你 。

                       約書亞記 2: 12-14
現在讓你有一段安靜的時間, 給聖靈一個空間, 讓主耶穌可能以藉着你剛才讀過的經文, 對你說話:

我的聆聽
      God said to Moses that when the Israelites went into Canaan they had to kill and totally destroy all people there with no mercy because if they did not do so, those wicked people would teach them to do wicked things and turned away from God:
耶 和 華 ─ 你 神 領 你 進 入 要 得 為 業 之 地 ， 從 你 面 前 趕 出 許 多 國 民 ， 就 是 赫 人 、 革 迦 撒 人 、 亞 摩 利 人 、 迦 南 人 、 比 利 洗 人 、 希 未 人 、 耶 布 斯 人 ， 共 七 國 的 民 ， 都 比 你 強 大 。
2 耶 和 華 ─ 你 神 將 他 們 交 給 你 擊 殺 ， 那 時 你 要 把 他 們 滅 絕 淨 盡 ， 不 可 與 他 們 立 約 ， 也 不 可 憐 恤 他 們 。            申命記 7:1-2
16 但 這 些 國 民 的 城 ， 耶 和 華 ─ 你 神 既 賜 你 為 業 ， 其 中 凡 有 氣 息 的 ， 一 個 不 可 存 留 ；
17 只 要 照 耶 和 華 ─ 你 神 所 吩 咐 的 將 這 赫 人 、 亞 摩 利 人 、 迦 南 人 、 比 利 洗 人 、 希 未 人 、 耶 布 斯 人 都 滅 絕 淨 盡 ，
18 免 得 他 們 教 導 你 們 學 習 一 切 可 憎 惡 的 事 ， 就 是 他 們 向 自 己 神 所 行 的 ， 以 致 你 們 得 罪 耶 和 華 ─ 你 們 的 神 。   申命記 20:16-18


讓我們聽聽 John Goldingay 教授的教導: 
     The Torah had given no indication that God would make any exceptions when driving the Canaanites out of the country or that Israel was to make any exceptions when devoting the Canaanites, but the two men take for granted that there is no reason to drive out or devote anyone who submits to God. Like Jonah's declaration that all Nineveh is to be destroyed, whenever God threatens destruction the threat always presupposes "unless you repent." Rahab models the sensible way to respond to God's threats of punishment. Along with Ruth, she will appear in Jesus' genealogy in Matthew 1.

     神會改變初衷嗎? 會, 一定會, 如果我們肯悔改的話!  What I received from Jesus to you is to read Psalm 107: 10-22 to you so you understand more about God's love, mercy and that He does make exceptions if we repent:
10 那 些 坐 在 黑 暗 中 、 死 蔭 裡 的 人 被 困 苦 和 鐵 鍊 捆 鎖 ，
11 是 因 他 們 違 背 神 的 話 語 ， 藐 視 至 高 者 的 旨 意 。
12 所 以 ， 他 用 勞 苦 治 服 他 們 的 心 ； 他 們 仆 倒 ， 無 人 扶 助 。
13 於 是 ， 他 們 在 苦 難 中 哀 求 耶 和 華 ； 他 從 他 們 的 禍 患 中 拯 救 他 們 。
14 他 從 黑 暗 中 和 死 蔭 裡 領 他 們 出 來 ， 折 斷 他 們 的 綁 索 。
15 但 願 人 因 耶 和 華 的 慈 愛 和 他 向 人 所 行 的 奇 事 都 稱 讚 他 ；
16 因 為 他 打 破 了 銅 門 ， 砍 斷 了 鐵 閂 。
17 愚 妄 人 因 自 己 的 過 犯 和 自 己 的 罪 孽 便 受 苦 楚 。
18 他 們 心 裡 厭 惡 各 樣 的 食 物 ， 就 臨 近 死 門 。
19 於 是 ， 他 們 在 苦 難 中 哀 求 耶 和 華 ； 他 從 他 們 的 禍 患 中 拯 救 他 們 。
20 他 發 命 醫 治 他 們 ， 救 他 們 脫 離 死 亡 。
21 但 願 人 因 耶 和 華 的 慈 愛 和 他 向 人 所 行 的 奇 事 都 稱 讚 他 。
22 願 他 們 以 感 謝 為 祭 獻 給 他 ， 歡 呼 述 說 他 的 作 為 ！

親愛的主耶穌,
Help us to know that you are full of love and mercy and you do make exceptions if we repent. Lead us to be willing to be with you each day that we can experience the power and protection of your mighty Kingdom.  奉主耶穌基督名求, 阿們。

省察問題


1. Do you have a new understanding of God's love and mercy today? 

2. How important it is that we know that God do make exceptions?

3. What have you got from Jesus today?

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.   Open your heart to praise the Lord

        
   
15 Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,
    for his wondrous works to the children of man!
16 For he shatters the doors of bronze
    and cuts in two the bars of iron.
         Psalm 107:15-16

Confession and Repentance

1.  Pray for the Holy Spirit to work in you:

     “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. 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 sin 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 gift to love God and His people. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen."

The Word (Joshua 2:12-24 that I recited loudly today)

English(ESV): https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Joshua 2&version=ESV

12 Now then, please swear to me by the Lord that, as I have dealt kindly with you, you also will deal kindly with my father's house, and give me a sure sign 13 that you will save alive my father and mother, my brothers and sisters, and all who belong to them, and deliver our lives from death.” 14 And the men said to her, “Our life for yours even to death! If you do not tell this business of ours, then when the Lord gives us the land we will deal kindly and faithfully with you.”
15 Then she let them down by a rope through the window, for her house was built into the city wall, so that she lived in the wall.   Joshua 2:12-14

Let's have a time to be still and give the Holy Spirit space to speak through the passage of scripture we have just read. Offer this time up to Jesus as you listen to him, while listening to "Gabriel's Oboe"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmax47l2hLU

My Listening
      God said to Moses that when the Israelites went into Canaan they had to kill and totally destroy all people there with no mercy because if they did not do so, those wicked people would teach them to do wicked things and they would turned away from God:

 “When the Lord your God brings you into the land that you are entering to take possession of it, and clears away many nations before you, the Hittites, the Girgashites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations more numerous and mightier than you, 2 and when the Lord your God gives them over to you, and you defeat them, then you must devote them to complete destruction. You shall make no covenant with them and show no mercy to them.   Deuteronomy 7: 1-2

 16 But in the cities of these peoples that the Lord your God is giving you for an inheritance, you shall save alive nothing that breathes, 17 but you shall devote them to complete destruction, the Hittites and the Amorites, the Canaanites and the Perizzites, the Hivites and the Jebusites, as the Lord your God has commanded,18 that they may not teach you to do according to all their abominable practices that they have done for their gods, and so you sin against the Lord your God.      Deuteronomy 20:16-19

       Does God make any exceptions to His own command? 

Let's see how Professor John Goldingay tells us: 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Goldingay) :
    
     The Torah had given no indication that God would make any exceptions when driving the Canaanites out of the country or that Israel was to make any exceptions when devoting the Canaanites, but the two men take for granted that there is no reason to drive out or devote anyone who submits to God. Like Jonah's declaration that all Nineveh is to be destroyed, whenever God threatens destruction the threat always presupposes "unless you repent." Rahab models the sensible way to respond to God's threats of punishment. Along with Ruth, she will appear in Jesus' genealogy in Matthew 1.

     Yes, God make exceptions when we repent. What I received from Jesus to you is to read Psalm 107: 10-22 to you so you understand more about God's love, mercy and that He does make exceptions if we repent:
10 Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death,
    prisoners in affliction and in irons,
11 for they had rebelled against the words of God,
    and spurned the counsel of the Most High.
12 So he bowed their hearts down with hard labor;
    they fell down, with none to help.
13 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
    and he delivered them from their distress.
14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death,
    and burst their bonds apart.
15 Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,
    for his wondrous works to the children of man!
16 For he shatters the doors of bronze
    and cuts in two the bars of iron.
17 Some were fools through their sinful ways,
    and because of their iniquities suffered affliction;
18 they loathed any kind of food,
    and they drew near to the gates of death.
19 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
    and he delivered them from their distress.
20 He sent out his word and healed them,
    and delivered them from their destruction.
21 Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,
    for his wondrous works to the children of man!
22 And let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving,
    and tell of his deeds in songs of joy!

Dear Lord Jesus, 
Help us to know that you are full of love and mercy and you do make exceptions if we repent. Lead us to be willing to be with you each day that we can experience the power and protection of your mighty Kingdom.  In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.

Reflect on these questions:
1. Do you have a new understanding of God's love and mercy today? 

 2. How important it is that we know that God do make exceptions?

3. What have you got from Jesus today?
