享受神同在!36/365
诗篇 84:1-4, 10-12 CUNPSS-神
“万军之耶和华啊, 你的居所何等可爱! 我羡慕渴想耶和华的院宇; 我的心肠,我的肉体向永生 神呼吁 。 万军之耶和华—我的王,我的神啊, 在你祭坛那里,麻雀为自己找着房屋, 燕子为自己找着抱雏之窝。 如此住在你殿中的便为有福! 他们仍要赞美你。 (细拉)
在你的院宇住一日, 胜似 在别处住千日; 宁可在我神殿中看门, 不愿住在恶人的帐棚里。 因为耶和华— 神是日头,是盾牌, 要赐下恩惠和荣耀。 他未尝留下一样好处不给那些行动正直的人。 万军之耶和华啊, 倚靠你的人便为有福!”
反思
一日在神的院宇如同千日在别处。感谢主,在我们忙乱之中再一次提醒我们什么是最重要。诗人知道进入神同在才是最幸福的!我们的生活方式已经没有空间让神能与我们交谈了。不要让世界的时间表掩盖了你与神亲近的时间。
1)天天享受神同在!
渴慕与神亲近多过浪费时间在无谓的事情。让神的话成为我们脚前的灯,路上的光!天天享受神的爱和温暖!
2)不要忙到没时间!
不要因为忙碌而失去了在神里面的祝福!有时候在服侍的弟兄姐妹好像成为了挨饿的烤面包师傅。他们的身边都是食物,可是却没有时间停下来吃。生命最美的福份就是从神那里得到的!
3)宁愿在神殿看门!
诗人渴望在神殿中看门也不想住在恶人的帐棚。有很多基督徒因为世界的试探就追求自己的梦想。后来,才发现得到是一场恶梦。不要忽略你与神的时间,能在神的同在里就是最美的祝福!
祷告
主啊!求祢帮助我要紧紧的跟随,有足够的时间在祢殿中亲近祢。帮助我跟明白祢的心意。教导我要如何活在祢的同在里!奉耶稣的名,阿门!

享受神同在!36/365
You will see things clearly when You spend time in God’s Presence daily!
Psalms 84:1, 2, 10, 11 NLT
How lovely is your dwelling place, O LORD of Heaven’s Armies. I long, yes, I faint with longing to enter the courts of the LORD. With my whole being, body and soul, I will shout joyfully to the living God…..
A single day in your courts is better than a thousand anywhere else! I would rather be a gatekeeper in the house of my God than live the good life in the homes of the wicked. For the LORD God is our sun and our shield. He gives us grace and glory. The LORD will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right.
Reflection
To dwell in God’s house, to be in His Presence is the most wonderful. Because, in His Presence, there is no strive, only rest and peace. We are surrounded constantly with stress , bad news and worst news. Every day we discover how industrialization has caused more and more damage towards our environment. Every day we have to cope with domestic issues and relationship problems. Every day we are bombarded with what we have not done rather than what our hands have accomplished. Our lifestyles have reach a stage where stress is normal and depression is common. Yet, in God’s Presence, there is fullness of joy. In God’s Presence, He reminded us that we are His children and will lack no good thing. Therefore, the Sons of Korah sang that it would be better to be a gatekeeper serving in God’s house than to live a life with material wealth but far away from God. So many believers are so caught up that they fail to be in God’s dwelling place.
Prayer
Lord, it’s indeed wonderful to be in Your Presence worshipping. So often, I am clouded and blinded by my own list of “to dos” and “situations” that I cannot focus or be still before You. Thank You for letting every morning and some evenings become a space for me to pause, think, reflect and pray. It’s through the dwelling in Your Presence that I find strength and peace for each new day. Bless my bros n sis to learn to dwell in God’s Presence daily so that they can see things clearly. In Jesus’ Name, amen.
