聖經說，要敬畏上帝，遠離惡事。但是什麼是惡事呢？
你可能以為作奸犯科才是惡事，
但是你可知道，那些不是出於上帝帶領的事，以及一切靠自以為公義的心態去做的，那件事很可能就被惡者魔鬼利用，來偷竊主耶穌賜你的平安與祝福的惡事。
例如說，你可能覺得咒罵某些你看不順眼的政客不是惡事。但是當你憑著自義控告別人，惡者就會見縫插針控告你。
控告與被控告就像作用力與反作用力一樣。
控告別人的人，也常常覺得別人在控告他。
貶低別人的人，自我價值常常也是低落的。
那什麼是善事呢？謙卑倚靠上帝指引的態度去做的事，就是善事。
當你做了上帝看為對的事，
你會發現你不再喜歡控告人，也不在乎別人的控告。
你會欣賞別人，也能肯定自我。
你還會發現：當你的心靈喜樂，身體就康健。
在你一切所行的事上都要認定他，他必指引你的路。 不要自以為有智慧，要敬畏耶和華，遠離惡事。 這便醫治你的肚臍，滋潤你的百骨。(箴言3:6-8)
It is said that seeing is believing.
But when something appears for the first time, will you believe it right away?
People often ask God to show them a miracle, and they will believe Him.
But very often, when the miracle does happen, people may still doubt if it’s a coincidence.
Therefore, seeing a miracle doesn’t usually work as a confirmation for you to believe in God.
Then, how will you believe in God?
Today, ask Jesus Christ’s help for giving you a faith to know Him and believe in Him.
As a result, you shall see a miracle and know it’s true, not from the eyes of your flesh, but the eyes of your heart.
“But just as it is written: ‘Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard and which have not entered the human heart, all that God has prepared for those who love Him.’” 1 Corinthians 2:9 NASB
The air exists as a matter of fact.
But until you learn about scientific knowledge, you don’t know it’s the truth of having air freely given for you to breathe in.
Likewise,
The Creator God exists as a matter of fact.
But until you learn through Jesus Christ, who comes to reveal Himself as the only God to you, you don’t know it’s the truth of having His grace freely given for you to be able to see Him in the eyes of heart.
The spiritual realm exists as a matter of fact.
But until you are filled with the Holy Spirit, who never forsakes you or leaves you as the God’s beloved child, you don’t know it’s the truth of having such a honorable privilege of God, who promises that He is your never-disappointed Hope.
“Such Hope (in God’s promises) never disappoints us, because God’s love has been abundantly poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.” Romans 5:5 AMP
Are you impatient with waiting for the holiday or a family trip to come?
Are you imagining all the fun things you want to do on that day?
Because the day is so worthy of waiting, each moment before that day becomes a joyful expectation.
Are you looking forward to Jesus Christ’s second coming?
Each day before that Day is a gift for us to expectantly pray in hope and joy. Each person He connects us is an opportunity to share His love.
When He comes again, there will be glory, honor and reward for your faith in Him.
“Because you are my Helper, I sing for joy in the shadow of your wings. I cling to you, your strong right hand holds me securely.” Psalm 63:7-8 NLT
When you were immersed into the baptism of water, your old self was buried with Jesus Christ’s death on the cross.
When you arose from the water, your new self was born again with Jesus Christ’s resurrected life.
When you wholeheartedly surrender to Jesus Christ, His Holy Spirit pours down on you as the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
As a result, His power overflows like living water from your belly to speak His message.
From then on, you shall experience that the waves and breakers of God’s love will sweep over you like you stand under the roaring waterfalls, hearing the deep calls to deep through the prayers with other Spirit-filled saints.
What an ecstasy of joy and satisfaction to be overwhelmed by God’s outpouring love.
“But each day the Lord pours His unfailing love upon me, and through each night I sing His songs, praying to God who gives me life.” Psalm 42:8 NLT
What is perfect love?
When you receive Jesus Christ as your Savior, you embark the life-long journey of experiencing the fullness that He has fulfilled all the requirements of God’s righteousness on behalf of you on the cross.
When you thankfully imitate Jesus Christ to lay down your life, that is, honoring Him as your Lord more than your worldly ambitions, your path to the end becomes hopeful and joyful.
Therefore, you shall have the confidence to come to the day of judgement without any fear of punishment. (1 John 4:17)
Out of His perfect love, He has given you faith.
Through His unfailing love, He promises to complete your faith to the end.
なぜなら、イエス キリストが失敗しないので。
“O my Strength, to you I sing praises, for you, O God, are my Refuge, the God who shows me unfailing love.” Psalm 59:17 NLT
Humane care may bring temporary comfort, but
God’s care brings the power of life because He is the life-giver.
When you believe and trust in God,
Who can help the powerless against the mighty (2 Chronicles 14:7),
Who can strike down your spiritual enemies,
Who is with you in the midst of storms,
You know you are the apple of His eye.
“I will be glad and rejoice in your unfailing love, for you have seen my troubles, and you care about the anguish of my soul.” Psalm 31:7 NLT
