(445) 「灵粮主题 TODAY’s Topic」：我们必须用心灵和诚实敬拜神 Worship God in Spirit and in Truth

「灵粮经节 TODAY’s Verses」：「时候将到，如今就是了，那真正拜父的，要用心灵和诚实拜他，因为父要这样的人拜他。神是个灵，所以拜他的必须用心灵和诚实拜他； Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.」 （约翰福音 John 4: 23-24 节）

「灵粮分享 TODAY’s Sharing」： 今晨在「纯全喜乐」里，读到约翰·派博 Rev. John Piper 写了一篇 ，“称颂耶和华意味什么？” 的分享。牧者引用诗篇 Psalm 103:1 节，鼓励我们要称颂耶和华！也要称颂他的圣名！。也就是灵粮主题要分享的，“我们必须用心灵和诚实敬拜神” 。牧者解释道，《诗篇 Psalm 103 篇》 的开头和结尾都记录了诗人在对他自己的心灵讲道，也对天使和一切受造物讲道。讲些什么呢？— 他希望万物都会称颂耶和华！这强烈地聚焦于称颂耶和华意味着什么呢？意味着诗人大卫王称赞神的伟大和良善。在这篇诗的一开头和结尾，大卫王都在鼓励说：“我的心哪，你要称颂耶和华！” 他是在强调，称颂神的伟大和良善必须发自内心深处。如果只是嘴上称颂，而心并不称颂，这是虚伪的。我们的救主, 神的儿子耶稣基督，在马太福音 Matthew 15:8 节里记载，提醒信徒要振作和避免，因为，“这百姓用嘴唇尊敬我，心却远离我”。大卫王意识到这其中的危险，他不但对自己讲道，也告诫自己不要那样做。所以他说： “我的心哪，来吧，定睛神的伟大和良善。与我的嘴一起，用整个生命称颂耶和华！“ 大家星期五开心和周末愉快！

「灵粮祷告 TODAY’s Prayer」：今日灵粮也就引用使徒保罗在歌罗西书 Colossians 3：16 节里的教导 , 和大家在主的爱里相互勉励祷告。鼓励我们，“ 当用各样的智慧，把基督的道理丰丰富富的存在心里，用诗章、颂词、灵歌，彼此教导，互相劝戒，心被恩感，歌颂神。” 求神加添赐给我们有耐心和智慧，各人能够有力量坚持，用心灵和诚实来敬拜神， 荣耀神。祷告奉主名求。阿门 !

In "纯全喜乐 Pure Joy " this morning, I read Rev. John Piper, who wrote an article, "What Does it Mean to Praise the Lord?" Pastor John Piper cites Psalm 103:1 to encourage us to praise the Lord! Praise his holy name too ! . That is what the theme of this spiritual food is to share that we must, "Worship God in spirit and in truth". Pastor John explained that both at the beginning and the end of Psalm 103 record the psalmist preaching to his own soul, as well to angels and all creatures. Then, what is he preaching about? — He wants all things to praise the Lord! This intensifies the focus on what it means to praise the Lord? It means the psalmist; King David praised the greatness and goodness of our God. From the beginning to the end of this psalm, King David is encouraging us "Praise the Lord, with all our heart!" He is emphasizing that the praise of God's greatness and goodness must come from the depths of our heart. It is hypocritical to praise only with the mouth but not with the heart. Our Savior, the Son of God, Jesus Christ, as recorded in Matthew 15:8, reminds the believers to take heart and avoid falling into the same as, "This people honors me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me." King David recognized this danger, and he not only preached to himself, he warned himself not to do the same. Therefore, "Come, my heart, and fix your eyes on the greatness and goodness of God. With my mouth, praise the Lord with the duration of all your whole life!" Have a Happy Friday and joyous weekend!

To this end, 今日灵粮 Spiritual Food Today would quote the teaching from the Apostle Paul in Colossians 3:16, and encouraged in a prayer to each other with the love of our Lord, "Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts." Oh Lord, grant us patience and wisdom so that each one of us can persevere, worship God in spirit and in truth, and glorify Him. Pray in the name of our Lord. Amen !
