司布真每日靈修(日) Morning by Morning

十二月十一日

經文: 「那召你們的本是信實的，祂必成就這事。」（帖撒羅尼迦前書五：24）

天堂是一個沒有罪惡的地方，我們無需儆醒抵擋仇敵的攻擊，撒旦也不會設計陷害我們，那是一個完全聖潔、完全安全的地方，我們可以享受那全然的安息。

但地上的信徒，卻很少人預嚐過那樣安全、平安的滋味。經上說凡與上帝羔羊連接，將自己靈魂交於上帝者，信實的上帝必要保守他到底，既有這應許的保證，我們即使在苦難困乏中，我們仍享有平安。

弟兄姐妹們，讓我們默想上帝的信實，以及我們周圍諸多如雲彩般見證人的實例，我們就對上帝信心倍增。願上帝在耶穌裡賜你平安篤定的感覺，知道我們的一生是在上帝手中，祂的應許也言猶在耳地時時叮嚀：「不要怕，我必與你同在。」

仰望那為你信心創始成終的耶穌，以及永不改變的新約中保，知道祂是何等真實、信實，即使我們極為軟弱，常常背約失信，但「那召我們的本是信實的，祂必成就這事。」


Morning, December 11

Scripture: "Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it."(1 Thessalonians 5:24)

Heaven is a place where we shall never sin; where we shall cease our constant watch against an indefatigable enemy, because there will be no tempter to ensnare our feet. There the wicked cease from troubling, and the weary are at rest. Heaven is the "undefiled inheritance"; it is the land of perfect holiness, and therefore of complete security. But do not the saints even on earth sometimes taste the joys of blissful security? The doctrine of God's word is, that all who are in union with the Lamb are safe; that all the righteous shall hold on their way; that those who have committed their souls to the keeping of Christ shall find him a faithful and immutable preserver. Sustained by such a doctrine we can enjoy security even on earth; not that high and glorious security which renders us free from every slip, but that holy security which arises from the sure promise of Jesus that none who believe in him shall ever perish, but shall be with him where he is. Believer, let us often reflect with joy on the doctrine of the perseverance of the saints, and honour the faithfulness of our God by a holy confidence in him.

May our God bring home to you a sense of your safety in Christ Jesus! May he assure you that your name is graven on his hand; and whisper in your ear the promise, "Fear not, I am with thee." Look upon him, the great Surety of the covenant, as faithful and true, and, therefore, bound and engaged to present you, the weakest of the family, with all the chosen race, before the throne of God; and in such a sweet contemplation you will drink the juice of the spiced wine of the Lord's pomegranate, and taste the dainty fruits of Paradise. You will have an antepast of the enjoyments which ravish the souls of the perfect saints above, if you can believe with unstaggering faith that "faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it."
