12/28 English 慕安德烈每日靈修 God's Best Secrets by Andrew Murray


基督的愛
經文: 「我愛你們,正如父愛我一樣,你們要常在我的愛裡。」(約翰福音十五:9)「我賜給你們一條新命令,乃是叫你們彼此相愛;我怎樣愛你們,你們也要怎樣相愛。」(約翰福音十三:34)
        耶穌給祂的門徒一條新命令:「你們要彼此相愛,像我愛你們一樣。」(約十五:12)為此,祂要信徒們明白,他們所以要彼此相愛,乃是因為上帝先愛了祂,所以耶穌也以這樣的愛來愛門徒,這愛是神聖持續、永遠不變的愛。
        這屬天的思想極為廣大深奧,需要花時間慢慢細嚼,才能體會「上帝是愛」的真正涵義。向上帝禱告,求聖靈幫助我們明白這大愛的真意:上帝對耶穌基督的愛,耶穌基督對我們的愛,以及弟兄姐妹們彼此相愛的情感,都源自於上帝的愛。
        上帝差派祂的獨生愛子來到人間,這就是上帝在意我們,把人類放在祂心坎裡的具體表現。耶穌也把這樣的愛,投注在門徒身上,不但以言教感化他們,更親自為他們洗腳,用身教來做榜樣。五旬節時,天上降下聖靈澆灌他們,好使門徒能彼此相愛,甚至能愛抵擋他們的仇敵。
        這種屬天的愛,不只是一種感覺,或一種蒙福的經驗而已,它是一種有生命力的活水泉源,從天父那兒流向耶穌,又從耶穌那兒流向門徒,再流向世人的心。
        我們常不加思索地說:「我沒辦法像耶穌那樣去愛眾人。」其實這並非不可能,因為有聖靈的幫助,我們是可以做到的。聖經上說:那些默想上帝的應許,並用信心接受者,必有勇氣來到施恩寶座前向上帝祈求,上帝也會賜下出人意外的大愛,去愛那不可愛的人。

CHRIST'S LOVE TO US
Scripture: "A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another, even as I have loved you."—JOHN xiii. 34."Even as the Father hath loved Me, I also have loved you; abide ye in My love."—JOHN xv. 9.
        The Lord gave His disciples a perfectly new commandment, that they should love one another, as He had loved them. To this end He wanted them to know what the love was wherewith He had loved them. Nothing less than the love wherewith the Father had loved Him. It is the everlasting, unchangeable, divine love wherewith the Father loved the Son, wherewith the Son loved us, and wherewith we should love one another.

        The thought is so vast and so heavenly that it needs time to grasp it. Pray about it and let God's Spirit make it a blessed reality: the love of God to Christ, the love of Christ to me, my love to the brethren, is one and the same almighty, everlasting love.

        God sent His Son to earth to manifest this love. The same love that God had to His Son, He had in His heart for all mankind. This same love Jesus exercised toward His disciples. This love was given them when the Holy Ghost was poured out on the Day of Pentecost, that they might love one another, and more—even love those who were the enemies of Christ.

        It is all one and the same love. Not merely a feeling or a blessed experience, but a living divine power, flowing from the Father to the Son, and working in the hearts of the disciples through the Son, and so streaming forth to the whole world.

        We are ever ready to say: "We cannot love others as Christ has loved us." It is not impossible. The Holy Spirit, as the power of this holy love, sheds it abroad in our hearts. This is God's own Word. He who meditates on it until he believes it will have courage to bring his petitions to the Throne of Grace, and to receive the love which passes all understanding.

經文: 耶和華也必時常引導你。(以賽亞書五十八:11)
        「主必引導你」。不是天使,乃是耶和華必引導你。祂說天使將在百姓前面引導他們經過曠野。但是摩西說:「祢若不親自和我同去,就不要把我們從這裏領上去。」(出三十三:15)天父親自引導你走過世上的旅途。你可能看不到雲柱和火柱,但是耶和華永不撇棄你。請注意「必」這個字──「耶和華必引導你」。我們能十分確信上帝不會撇棄我們!祂寶貴的「必」和「要」比世人的應許強得多。「我總不撇下你,也不丟棄你。」(來十三:5)上帝不只是在某些時候引導我們,祂的引導是永恆的。我們會不斷地聽到偉大牧者的引導之聲。我們若緊緊跟隨在祂身旁,祂將引導我們行在正路上。你若要改變生活中的地位、你若要移居到遙遠的地區、你若突遭貧困或突然陞遷、你若面對陌生人或被敵人圍困,不必驚恐,因為「主必時常引導你」。你若靠近主而活,你的心被祂的聖愛所溫暖,就必蒙拯救脫離各樣苦難。與上帝同行,你必不復迷失,因為永不失誤的智慧在引導你,永不改變的愛在安慰你,永恆之大能在保護你。

Evening, December 27
Scripture: “And theLORDshall guide thee continually.” (Isaiah 58:11)
        “The Lord shall guide thee.” Not an angel, but JEHOVAH shall guide thee. He said he would not go through the wilderness before his people, an angel should go before them to lead them in the way; but Moses said, “If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence.” Christian, God has not left you in your earthly pilgrimage to an angel's guidance: he himself leads the van. You may not see the cloudy, fiery pillar, but Jehovah will never forsake you. Notice the word shall—“The Lord shall guide thee.” How certain this makes it! How sure it is that God will not forsake us! His precious “shalls” and “wills” are better than men's oaths. “I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” Then observe the adverb continually. We are not merely to be guided sometimes, but we are to have a perpetual monitor; not occasionally to be left to our own understanding, and so to wander, but we are continually to hear the guiding voice of the Great Shepherd; and if we follow close at his heels, we shall not err, but be led by a right way to a city to dwell in. If you have to change your position in life; if you have to emigrate to distant shores; if it should happen that you are cast into poverty, or uplifted suddenly into a more responsible position than the one you now occupy; if you are thrown among strangers, or cast among foes, yet tremble not, for “the Lord shall guide thee continually.” There are no dilemmas out of which you shall not be delivered if you live near to God, and your heart be kept warm with holy love. He goes not amiss who goes in the company of God. Like Enoch, walk with God, and you cannot mistake your road. You have infallible wisdom to direct you, immutable love to comfort you, and eternal power to defend you. “Jehovah”—mark the word—“Jehovah shall guide thee continually.”

上帝的心意
經文: 「猶大眾人為所起的誓歡喜,因他們是盡心起誓,盡意尋求耶和華,耶和華就被他們尋見。」(歷代志下十五:15)
        意志之於人,猶如舵之於船,掌管全身。許多人因為不肯聽從良心的聲音,所以成為罪的奴僕。也有許多基督徒在禱告生活上沒有長進,因為他們不敢大膽地說:「靠著上帝的幫助,以及良心的提醒,我願做上帝吩咐的一切事;並且挪時間和祂相處,向祂禱告。」
        在禱告生活的操練中,難免遇到類似的狀況:思想不能集中,時間太匆促短暫,內容過於膚淺公式化。但是,我們要鞭策自己,決心不要落入這樣的光景裡,一定要全心全意地來愛上帝,求告祂的名。
        這不是件容易的工作,我們需要很冷靜地面對這樣的情況,並且很熱誠地持續禱告;仰望聖靈的幫助:「上帝啊!求祢祝福以下分別為聖的時間,讓我能專心一致地敬拜祢。」剛開始,或許會覺得很難,但上帝看中你的心意,也願意回應你的禱告,這段時間就不會如此難挨。
        那專心尋求的,必能尋見。上帝實在是樂於施恩,但我們若不全心全意地尋求祂、渴慕祂,祂就無法在我們心中做工,祝福我們。所以要常如此禱告:「天父啊!我要全心全意地尋求祢的面。」

THE WILL
Scripture: "All Judah rejoiced, for they had sought Him with their whole desire; and He was found of them."—2 CHRON. xv. 15.
        The will is the royal faculty of the soul; it rules over the whole man. Many people become the slaves of sin because they do not decide with a firm will to listen to the voice of conscience. Many Christians make no advance in the prayer-life because they have not the courage to say with a strong purpose of will: "By God's help I will do all that God's Word and my own conscience bid me do. I will make time for prayer and quiet fellowship with Him."

        In the practice of prayer it is quite indispensable to say in regard to wandering thoughts, or the brevity and haste of our prayers, or their formality and superficiality, "I will not give way to these things, / will call upon God with all my heart and strength."

        This is not an easy task. One must face the position calmly and decide to go on praying without any real zeal or earnestness, or else look to God to help them by His Holy Spirit to say: "In the few minutes that I spend with God and His Word I am determined to give the time with an undivided heart." Keep on, even though you find it difficult. You will find it easier each time you say to God: "Lord, I can be satisfied with nothing less; / will seek Thee with my whole heart."

        All Judah sought the Lord with their whole desire (or will), and He was found of them. God is longing to bless you, but is unable to do so as long as you are not willing to give yourself unreservedly, and with all the strength of your will, to let Him work out His will in you. Speak it out in God's Presence: "Father, I will seek Thee with all my heart and will."

花時間親近上帝
經文: 「凡事都有定期,天下萬物都有定時。」(傳道書三:1)
        每個基督徒都應有這樣的認定,就是每天都要花一些時間安靜地親近上帝,而且這應擺為首要之務,難道我們一天當中撥不出一點時間親近我們的造物主?難道我們無法撥空在主面前,思想祂在我們身上的心意與計劃?喔!這位親愛聖潔的主,是配得把最好的時間獻給祂,每天都當有一段分別為聖的時間,單單地與主安靜相親,好使我們一整天都活在祂的榮光中。
        我們需要每天有一段密室禱告的時間,暫時把工作擱下,用敬畏的心查考上帝的話語,求聖靈鑑查我們的內心,看看有沒有得罪祂的地方,並等候在祂面前,仰望祂的榮面,讓祂成形在我們心中,垂聽我們內心深處的禱告。在這段安靜的時間,上帝也要解決我們特別的需要,讓祂的光照亮我們的內心,讓我們裡面充滿聖靈的同在。
        你覺得這建議如何?每天撥十五分鐘親近主,做得到嗎?你若捨不得安排這段時間給主,難怪你的屬靈生命軟弱,不能過得勝的生活。所以,與主相近應是你一天首要之務,當你嚐到與主談話的甘甜滋味,你會珍惜這段時間,過不久,你還會覺得短短一刻鐘與主相親實在是不夠的。
        無論做什麼事,學什麼技藝,都需要時間,想想學童為要求得知識而充實自己,那得花多少時間在學校裡?而我們為要認識上帝,做永生的準備,豈不要花更多的時間來學習?
        親愛的弟兄姐妹們,花時間親近這位聖潔、榮耀的上帝,藉著禱告,默想祂的話語,把自己浸沐在祂的愛與光中,好讓你一整天都活在祂面前,享受祂的同在。

TAKE TIME WITH GOD
Scripture: "To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven."—ECCLES. iii. 1.
        It should be the aim of every Christian to set aside a little time each day for quiet communion with God. A time for everything—and shall there be no time to spend in the presence of the Creator of all things? No time to contemplate His will and purposes for us? The holy, loving God is indeed worthy of the best of our time—of all of our time. We should live in constant fellowship with Him, but each day there should be a special time of quiet when we are with Him alone.

        We need a period daily for secret fellowship. Time to turn from daily occupation and search our hearts in His presence. Time to study His Word with reverence and godly fear. Time to seek His face and ask Him to make Himself known to us. Time to wait until we know that He sees and hears us so that we can make our wants known to Him in words that come from the depth of our hearts. Time to let God deal with our special needs, to let His light shine in our hearts, to let ourselves be filled with His Spirit!

        What do you think? Will it be possible to give a quarter of an hour each day for this purpose? If you are unwilling to make such an arrangement you must not be surprised if your spiritual life is enfeebled and becomes ineffective. Fellowship with God should have a first claim on your time, and if you will only arrange for this brief intercourse with God you will soon learn to value it. It will not be long before you feel ashamed that there was ever a time when you thought fifteen minutes would suffice.

        Everything on earth needs time. Think of the hours per day for so many years that a child spends at school gathering the rudiments of knowledge that he may cope with this life. How much longer then should we spend in learning from God for life everlasing?

        O Christian, give the holy, gracious God all the time you can until His light and life and love fill your whole life and you abide in Christ and His love through His Word and through prayer.

上帝的同在
經文: 「凡求告耶和華的,就是誠心求告祂的,耶和華便與他們相近。」(詩篇一四五:18)
        你渴望不間歇地親近上帝嗎?這兒有一個秘訣,就是禱告,不斷地禱告,你就會得到一個確據:「上帝親近那求告祂名的人。」禱告有一種奇妙的力量,可以讓你親近上帝,與祂同在。上帝是全能且無所不在,祂樂意隨時與人有不間斷的溝通。
        你知道如何與上帝保持不間斷的溝通?答案很簡單。首先,要明白上帝就在你身旁,就在你心裡,你可以很自然地跟祂談話,隨時將自己的需要告訴祂。這就是禱告生活的秘訣,保羅說:「我晝夜切切的祈求。」(帖前三:10)
        如果你與上帝的關係,只是在有麻煩的時候,才來向祂禱告,那還不夠親密。真正的基督徒是每時每刻與主相親,「他們因祢的名終日歡樂。」(詩八九:16)父子之間的親情是綿延不斷的,禱告生活更是每日我們生活的一部份,如同呼吸、睡覺一樣,不可或缺。總之,屬靈生活的秘訣,就是兩項原則——完全地倚靠這位看不見的上帝,並且每時每刻宣告祂的同在。
        上帝永遠在你身旁,所以你可隨時求告祂的名,根據保羅所說:「應當一無掛慮,只要凡事藉著禱告、祈求和感謝,將你們所要的告訴上帝,上帝所賜出人意外的平安,必在基督耶穌裡保守你們的心懷意念。」(腓四:6~7)記得兩件事:上帝永遠在你身旁,而且祂有豐盛的慈愛與恩典;此外,那軟弱無助、求告主名的,祂必垂聽並且回答。

THE ABIDING PRESENCE OF GOD
Scripture: "The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon Him, to all that call upon Him in truth."—Ps. cxlv. 18.
        You long to experience continually the nearness of God. Here is the secret: Pray, pray without ceasing. Then you will have the assurance: "The Lord is nigh unto all who call upon Him." Prayer has a wonderful power of helping us to draw near to God, and keeping us in His presence. God is everywhere, and as the Almighty One is ever ready and able to grant us unbroken fellowship with Him.

        Would you know the secret of always abiding in a state of prayerfulness ? The answer is clear. Realize first that God is near you, and within you, then you will feel how natural it is to talk with Him each moment about your needs and desires. This is the secret of the prayerful life, of which Paul writes: "Night and day praying exceedingly" (1 Thess. iii. 10). It is only when you live a life apart from God that you say: "I must take time, I must take trouble first of all to find God before I can pray." But to the true Christian, life is a constant abiding with the Father. "In Thy Name do they rejoice all the day" (Ps. Ixxxix. 16). The intercourse between the Father and His child should be contin¬uous. Even so prayer may become a daily life activity, like breath¬ing or sleeping, instead of something that is brought into use only once a day. The principle of complete dependence on the unseen God, and the holy habit of claiming His presence with us each moment of the day—this is the secret of a life of true godliness.

        God always near, so that you may call upon Him at all times. According to the word of St. Paul, you will be "anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication let your requests be made known unto God, and the peace of God will guard your hearts and minds." Remember these two things: A God always near, with His infinite and abundant grace; and His child in utter weakness, calling upon One who will surely hear and answer.

聽阿,天使高聲唱

一 聽阿,天使高聲唱:
“榮耀歸與新生王,
恩典臨地平安到,
神、人此後能和好。”
興起!地上眾生靈,
響應天上讚美聲;
天唱地和樂歡騰,
“基督降生伯利恆。”
天唱地和樂歡騰,
“基督降生伯利恆。”

平安在地我蒙恩,
榮耀在天歸於神,
平安在地我蒙恩。



這詩,人多稱為新生王歌,是詩人衛斯理查理(Charles Wesley 1707-1788)最流行的詩歌。經多次的修改,遂成今日的歌詞。每當近聖誕節的時份,在很多地方都會聽得到。其對世人認識主的降生有很大的貢獻。我幼時初接觸的聖詩就是這詩。每次唱這詩,都想到聖經路加福音說到天使報喜信說﹕「今天在大衛的城裹,為你們生了救主,就是主基督。」願意每一個唱這詩的人,都同作神的兒女。參加那晚天使的行列,一同讚美我們的主。這事人不要以為希奇。因這詩的作曲家孟德爾遜(Felix Mendelsson 1809-1847),曾說這曲永不適用於聖詩。但神卻感動人選上了這曲,成為一首情調活潑,報告我主降生,充滿喜樂和讚美的偉大聖詩。在公元2001年,由Crossway Books出版,多個主內肢體合唱和編寫:哦,來,蒙恩群眾(O Come, All Ye Faith)的詩歌集仍採用了孟德爾遜的樂譜。
我 報 給 你 們 大 喜 的 信 息 , 是 關 乎 萬 民 的 ;因 今 天 在 大 衛 的 城 裡 , 為 你 們 生 了 救 主 , 就 是 主 基 督 。你 們 要 看 見 一 個 嬰 孩 , 包 著 布 , 臥 在 馬 槽 裡 , 那 就 是 記 號 了 。(路 加 福 音 2:10-12 )

在至高之處榮耀歸與 神、在地上平安歸與他所喜悅的人。〔有古卷作喜悅歸與人〕
眾天使離開他們升天去了、牧羊的人彼此說、我們往伯利恆去、看看所成的事、就是主所指示我們的。
他們急忙去了、就尋見馬利亞和約瑟、又有那嬰孩臥在馬槽裡。
既然看見、就把天使論這孩子的話傳開了。(路加福音2:14-17)
他們聽見王的話就去了。在東方所看見的那星忽然在他們前頭行,直行到小孩子的地方,就在上頭停住了。他們看見那星,就大大地歡喜;進了房子,看見小孩子和他母親馬利亞,就俯伏拜那小孩子,揭開寶盒,拿黃金、乳香、沒藥為禮物獻給他。博士因為在夢中被主指示不要回去見希律,就從別的路回本地去了。(馬太福音二章9-12節)

在至高之處榮耀歸與 神、在地上平安歸與他所喜悅的人。〔有古卷作喜悅歸與人〕
眾天使離開他們升天去了、牧羊的人彼此說、我們往伯利恆去、看看所成的事、就是主所指示我們的。
他們急忙去了、就尋見馬利亞和約瑟、又有那嬰孩臥在馬槽裡。
既然看見、就把天使論這孩子的話傳開了。(路加福音2:14-17)
因我們 神憐憫的心腸、叫清晨的日光從高天臨到我們、
要照亮坐在黑暗中死蔭裡的人.把我們的腳引到平安的路上。()路加福音1:78-79)
1:45 這相信的女子是有福的.因為主對她所說的話、都要應驗。 
1:46 馬利亞說、我心尊主為大、 
1:47 我靈以 神我的救主為樂。 
1:48 因為他顧念他使女的卑微.從今以後、萬代要稱我有福。 
1:49 那有權能的為我成就了大事.他的名為聖。 
1:50 他憐憫敬畏他的人、直到世世代代。 
1:51 他用膀臂施展大能.那狂傲的人、正心裏妄想、就被他趕散了。 
1:52 他叫有權柄的失位、叫卑賤的升高. 
1:53 叫饑餓的得飽美食、叫富足的空手回去。 
1:54 他扶助了他的僕人以色列、 
1:55 為要記念亞伯拉罕和他的後裔、施憐憫、直到永遠、正如從前對我們列祖所說的話。 (路 加 福 音1:45-55)
