我們的人生並非完美無缺,但是 神賜給我們一個恩典,就是在我們裡面有一個不是從天然人而來的信心,使我們可以不(一直)定睛於失敗和痛苦,並且轉向 神的所是 (Who He is)和所做 (What He has done),進而向祂發出讚美。「讚美」是我們要用意志揀選的行動,來宣揚 神的自己並祂大能的作為,把祂當得的榮耀歸給祂。

We can hardly live a perfect life, but we can live a surpassing one with the heavenly faith received through God’s grace. Through faith we will be able to turn our eyes from difficult circumstances and focus on who He is and what He has done. Once we turn our eyes back to God, our praise to Him will flow out of us naturally. However, it is usually not our habit to do so. We ought to exercise our will consciously and intentionally to praise Him. May the Spirit help us to proclaim His name and wonderful deeds, and “ascribe to Him the glory due His name”.

Month of Praising - Day 21

第 21 天  來 1:1-12
1 神既在古時藉着眾先知多次多方地曉諭列祖,
2 就在這末世藉着他兒子曉諭我們;又早已立他為承受萬有的,也曾藉着他創造諸世界。 3 他是神榮耀所發的光輝,是神本體的真像,常用他權能的命令托住萬有。他洗淨了人的罪,就坐在高天至大者的右邊。
4 他所承受的名,既比天使的名更尊貴,就遠超過天使。
5 所有的天使,神從來對哪一個說:你是我的兒子,我今日生你?又指着哪一個說:我要作他的父,他要作我的子?
6 再者,神使長子到世上來的時候,就說:神的使者都要拜他。
7 論到使者,又說:神以風為使者,以火焰為僕役;
8 論到子卻說:神啊,你的寶座是永永遠遠的;你的國權是正直的。
9 你喜愛公義,恨惡罪惡;所以神,就是你的神,用喜樂油膏你,勝過膏你的同伴;
10 又說:主啊,你起初立了地的根基;天也是你手所造的。
11 天地都要滅沒,你卻要長存。天地都要像衣服漸漸舊了;
12 你要將天地捲起來,像一件外衣,天地就都改變了。惟有你永不改變;你的年數沒有窮盡。
Day 21  Hebrews 1:1-12
1God,who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets,2 has in these last days spoken to us by His Son,whom He has appointed heir of all things,through whom also He made the worlds;3 who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person,and upholding all things by the word of His power,when He had by Himself purged our sins,sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,4 having become so much better than the angels,as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
5 For to which of the angels did He ever say:
“You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You”?
And again:
“I will be to Him a Father,
And He shall be to Me a Son”?
6 But when He again brings the firstborn into the world,He says:
“Let all the angels of God worship Him.”
7 And of the angels He says:
“Who makes His angels spirits
And His ministers a flame of fire.”
8 But to the Son He says:
“Your throne,O God,is forever and ever;
A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.
9 You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness;
Therefore God,Your God,has anointed You
With the oil of gladness more than Your companions.”[
10 And:
“You,Lord,in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth,
And the heavens are the work of Your hands.
11 They will perish,but You remain;
And they will all grow old like a garment;
12 Like a cloak You will fold them up,
And they will be changed.
But You are the same,
And Your years will not fail.”

當我們思想人一生的經歷與美善時,若神不在其中,我們便是愚昧,虛妄的人;我們尋也是尋不著其真義,猶如瞎眼的尋求光明一般;所有的遭遇,一切的人,事,物,停留在表淺,沒有絲毫的意義。
神多方多次向人顯明了祂的自己;藉著祂的愛子基督耶穌,自顯祂的慈愛,公義與全能;祂是神榮耀所發的光輝,是神本體的真像;有了愛子就明白了一切,並且存到永遠。

To consider our life experiences and any perceived goodness apart from God in it is foolishness and vanity. We search and can’t find it, just like the blind searching for light. Every experience, every thing becomes meaningless if it stops short of God.

God has revealed Himself many times and in many ways.  Through His beloved Son He revealed His loving kindness, righteousness, and omnipotence. The Son is the radiance of His glory, the true image of God Himself. Whoever has the Son has everything through all eternity.
