Praise Header

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 30

第 30 天  林後3:16-18,弗3:20-21
林後3:16-18
16 但他們的心幾時歸向主,帕子就幾時除去了。 17 主就是那靈;主的靈在哪裏,那裏就得以自由。 18 我們眾人既然敞着臉得以看見主的榮光,好像從鏡子裏返照,就變成主的形狀,榮上加榮,如同從主的靈變成的。

弗3:20-21
20 神能照着運行在我們心裏的大力充充足足地成就一切,超過我們所求所想的。 21 但願他在教會中,並在基督耶穌裏,得着榮耀,直到世世代代,永永遠遠。阿們!

Day 30 2 Corinthians 3:16-18, Ephesians  3:20-21
16 Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord,the veil is taken away. 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit;and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18 But we all,with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory,just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, 21 to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations,forever and ever. Amen.

許多的時候,我們會羨慕舊約聖經中的一些屬靈偉人的經歷,例如摩西,我們羨慕“耶和華與摩西面對面說話、好像人與朋友說話一般”。然而保羅在哥林多後書第三章中告訴我們,摩西所承受的執事原是屬死的執事,摩西臉上的榮光原是漸漸退去的榮光,以致摩西將帕子蒙在臉上,叫以色列人不能看到那逐漸消退的榮光。

然而,在新約裡,這帕子在基督裡已經廢去了,我們的心幾時歸向主 - 也就是當我們承認耶穌基督是我們個人的救主,是我們生命的主宰的時候,我們就得著內住的聖靈,從而面對面的看見 神,也經歷到聖靈在我們心中改變的大能,超過我們所求所想。

感謝 神!在基督裡,我們不僅僅不再被定罪,更是榮上加榮地被改變成主自己的形狀,從而活出主自己那自由而豐盛的生命! 但願這位榮耀的 神在你我身上得着榮耀,直到世世代代,永永遠遠。阿們!

Many times, we may envy the great spiritual experiences of some Old Testament heroes, such as Moses. we admire that "The Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend." But Paul tells us in 2 Corinthians 3 that the ministry of Moses is a ministry of condemnation. Moses had to put a veil over his face so that Israelis can not see that faded glory.

But in the New Testament, the veil is done away in Christ. As soon as we turn to the Lord, i.e. as soon as we recognize Jesus Christ as our Savior and our Lord, every thing becomes bright and clear. By turning unto Christ we become partakers of the Holy Spirit. We are not only redeemed from the Law, but also set free by the indwelling Spirit, and transformed in the same image of Jesus Christ by the Spirit from glory to glory!

Praise the Lord! To Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations,forever and ever. Amen.
