(503) 「灵粮主题 TODAY’s Topic」：在主耶稣的爱里神必保守你的心怀意念平安 In the Love of Jesus, God Will Keep Your Heart and ..

「灵粮经节 TODAY’s Verses」：当您遇到有生活困难，使徒保罗对腓力比教会的信徒说：「应当一无罣虑，只要凡事藉着祷告、祈求，和感谢，将你们所要的告诉神。神所赐、出人意外的平安必在基督耶稣里保守你们的心怀意念。”; When you encounter difficulties in life, the apostle Paul told the believers in the church in Philippi, saying: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” 」 (腓力比书 Philippians 4: 6-7 节)

「灵粮分享 TODAY’s Sharing」： 今晨在「纯全喜乐 Pure Joys」里，读到约翰·派博牧师 Rev. John Piper 写了一篇， “当我忧虑时” 的分享。牧者鲍勃牧师引用彼得前书 1 Peter 15: 7 节，劝告我们每天在艰苦的生活里行事为人，都要将一切的忧虑卸给神，因为神会顾念我们。这也就是「今日灵粮 Spiritual Food TODAY」 主题要分享的, 相信， “在主耶稣的爱里神必保守你的心怀意念平安” ，不至于忧虑，导致心怀恶念而犯罪堕落，失去了跟随主到底的信心得平安和恩典。

鲍勃牧师接着举了许多经节例子解释道：（1）当牧者为自己生病而忧虑时，他引用诗篇 34：19 节里神的应许来与他的不信争战， “义人多有苦难，但耶和华救他脱离这一切。”; （2）同时，牧者存着战兢的心领受神在罗马书：5：3-5 节里的应许： “... 知道患难生忍耐，忍耐生老练，老练生盼望，盼望不至于羞耻；因为所赐给我们的圣灵将神的爱浇灌在我们心里。”; （3）当牧者为自己年老而忧虑时，他用神的应许来与不信的争战， 犹如以赛亚书 46：4 节里里神的不变之爱： “直到你们年老，我仍这样；直到你们发白，我仍怀搋。我已造作，也必保抱；我必怀抱，也必拯救。”; （4） 当牧者想到死亡而感到忧虑时，他用神的罗马书 14：7-9 节里的应许，来与不信争战：“我们没有一个人为自己活，也没有一个人为自己死。我们若活着，是为主而活；若死了，是为主而死。所以我们或活或死，总是主的人。因此基督死了，又活了，为要作死人并活人的主。”; （5） 当牧者担心自己会失去信心而远离神时，他会用神的应许来与不信争战。因为，腓立比书 1：6节里说： “我深信那在你们心里动了善工的，必成全这工，直到耶稣基督的日子。” ；以及希伯来书 7：25 节证实，“凡靠着他进到神面前的人，他都能拯救到底，因为他是长远活着，替他们祈求。”

弟兄姐妹们，让我们兴起争战吧！但不是与他人争战，而是与自己的不信争战。不信乃是忧虑的根源没有平安，而忧虑又是其他许多罪的恶念根源，我们必须脱免。大家星期五开心与周末愉快！

「灵粮祷告 TODAY’s Prayer」：最后「今日灵粮 Spiritual Food TODAY」也就引用诗篇 Psalm 27：13-14 节. 鼓励大家在主的爱里互相勉励祷告得平安。 有一位牧者说，诗篇 27 篇是大卫王描述他对抗恐惧之敌的强大武器，它具有充实我们心灵的力量。在今日灵粮引用的经节分享里，使徒保罗都在提醒我们，尽管我们的日常生活都会遇上许多困难和伤心不如意的事，但 “在主耶稣的爱里神必保守你的心怀意念平安”。 就看到大卫王，他的一生都在逃难,躲避敌人的追杀，但他在他的诗篇 Psalm 27：13-14 节中,却充满了信心地鼓励我们要等候，说。“我若不信在活人之地得见耶和华的恩惠，就早已丧胆了。要等候耶和华！当壮胆，坚固你的心！我再说，要等候耶和华！” 约翰牧师在今日的分享里也都在鼓励我们，求神坚固我们的信心，拿起圣经，更祈求圣灵的帮助，将神的应许存记在我们的心里，打那美好的仗 — 凭着对神未来恩典的信心而活与等候。祷告奉主名祷告，阿门！

This morning in "今日圣言 Holy Word Today", I read the sharing of "When I Worry" written by Rev. John Piper. Pastor John quoted 1 Peter 1 Peter 15: 7, advising us to cast all our worries on God every day as we walk in the hard life, because God will take care of us. This is what the theme of "Spiritual Food TODAY" is about to share. I believe that "In the Love of Jesus, God Will Keep Your Heart and Mind in Peace", so that you will not worry, as worry will lead to evil thoughts and sins, and you will lose the ability to follow the Lord. Ultimate faith brings peace and grace.

Pastor John then cited many examples from scriptures to explain: (1) When the pastor was worried about his illness, he quoted God’s promise in Psalm 34:19 to fight against his unbelief, “Many are the righteous? tribulation, but the Lord delivered him from them all.”; (2) At the same time, the pastor accepted God’s promise in Romans 5:3-5 with trembling heart: “... knowing that tribulation produces perseverance, and perseverance experience produces experience, and experience produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame; for the love of God has been poured out into our hearts by the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.”; (3) When the pastor was worried about his old age, he used God’s promises to talk to him. The battle of unbelief is like the unfailing love of God in Isaiah 46:4: “Even until you are old, I am still like this; even until you are gray, I will still carry you. I have created it, and I will keep it.; I will embrace and I will save.”; (4) When the pastor was worried about death, he used God’s promise in Romans 14:7-9 to fight against unbelief: “We have no one for ourselves live, and no one dies to himself. If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we are the Lord's. Therefore, Christ died and lived, to be Lord of the dead and of the living.”'; (5) When the pastor is worried that he will lose faith and fall away from God, he will use God’s promises to fight against unbelief. Because, Philippians 1:6 says: “I am confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will continue it until the day of Jesus Christ.” And Hebrews 7:25 confirms, “He is able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.”

Brothers and sisters, let us rise up and fight! But the battle is not with others, but with one’s own unbelief. Unbelief is the root of worry and no peace, and worry is the root of many other evil thoughts from which we must be free. Happy Friday and happy weekend everyone!

Finally, "今日灵粮 Spiritual Food TODAY " would like to quote Psalm 27:13-14. It encourages everyone of us to pray for each other in the love of the Lord. There is a pastor mentioned that Psalm 27 was King David’s description of his powerful weapon against the enemy of fear and worry, and it has the power to enrich our hearts. In sharing the verses cited in today’s spiritual food, the apostle Paul reminds us that although we may encounter many difficulties and sad and unhappy things in our daily lives, “In the Love of Jesus, God Will Keep Your Heart and Mind in Peace.” We can see that King David spent his whole life on the run, avoiding the pursuit of his enemies, but in his Psalm 27:13-14, he encouraged us with confidence to wait, saying. "I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD." Pastor John is also in today's sharing to encourage us asking God to strengthen our faith. Therefore, let us pick up the Bible and pray for the help of the Holy Spirit to store God’s promises in our hearts, and fight the good fight — living and waiting with faith in God’s future grace. Pray in the name of the Lord, Amen!
