(506) 「灵粮主题 TODAY’s Topic」：始终如一地养成依靠神帮助你的习惯 Consistently Develop the Habit of Relying on God to Help

「灵粮经节 TODAY’s Verses」：「神的儿子，救主耶稣都这么教导我们做主门徒和信徒的要养成依靠神帮助你的习惯说：“我是葡萄树，你们是枝子。常在我里面的，我也常在他里面，这人就多结果子；因为离了我，你们就不能做甚麽。人若不常在我里面，就像枝子丢在外面枯乾，人拾起来，扔在火里烧了。你们若常在我里面，我的话也常在你们里面，凡你们所愿意的，祈求，就给你们成就。”; Jesus, the Son of God and Savior, also taught us that as disciples and believers of the Lord, we must develop the habit of relying on God to help you, saying: “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.” 」 (约翰福音 John 15: 5-7 节)

「灵粮分享 TODAY’s Sharing」： 今晨在「今日圣言 Holy Word Today」里，读到鲍勃牧师和黛比加斯夫人 Rev. Bob & Mrs. Debby Gass 写了一篇， “与神一起开始你的一天” 的分享。牧者鲍勃牧师引用诗篇 Psalm 5: 3 节，劝告我们每天早晨一起身，都要祷告依靠神，祈求耶和华，听他的声音；向神陈明他开始的一天和将要来做的心意。这也就是「今日灵粮 Spiritual Food TODAY」 主题要分享的, 学像诗人大卫与神有的亲密关系与心意， “始终如一地养成依靠神帮助你的习惯” ，不至于忧虑，更会警醒！因为诗人知道神不是喜悦恶事的主， 恶人不能与神同居。狂傲人不能站在祂眼前；凡作孽的，都是神所恨恶的。说谎言的，你必灭绝；好流人血弄诡诈的，都为耶和华所憎恶。

鲍勃牧师接着展列步骤解释道：培养与神一起开始每一天的习惯。你如果这么做，你就会有一整天都可以汲取的力量泉源。心理学家说人们需要三周的时间去熟悉一种新的习惯，而且还要再花三周的时间才能使这种习惯扎根。这就意味着，你需要跨越六周的障碍。因此，你要这么做：（1）下定决心。如果你开始时就三心两意，你将永远不会成功。希伯来书 3: 13 节上说： “…要天天互相劝勉，…” 。如果有帮助的话，你就对某个人负责。让他们鼓励你，并提醒你向神所做出的承诺；（2）绝不容许例外。习惯就像一团线，每次你丢开它，一些线就会松开。因此，你不要让 “下不为例” 的念头潜入内心。每一次屈服的行为都会削弱你的意志，使你退却；（3）利用每一个机会来操练你的新习惯。每当你稍微有想读圣经祷告跟神亲近以及求祂帮助的冲动的时候，就去做。不要等候，要利用那个时刻去加强新习惯。当你刚开始培养一种新习惯时，多点操练并没有什么坏处；（4）依靠神的能力。你正处于一场属灵的争战中，你只有在神的帮助下才能成功。依靠祂来帮助你为祂的荣耀而培养这种习惯。然后，把你这些向神要的话写下来，签上你的名字，记下你祈求的日期，并常常摆放在你面前向神对正：” 这样神一定会回应你的祷告 “。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」也就引用马可福音 Mark 11：24 节,鼓励大家在主的爱里互相勉励祷告，依靠信服神，才能得帮助。 有一位牧者就这样引用罗马书 10∶ 14-17 鼓励我们说，因此，保罗为了证明真信心必定求告神，为我们立定这原则：信心由福音而生，信心就会操练我们的心求告神的名。所以今日灵粮的结语，所引用马可福音里的经节，也都这么勉励着我们说，“ 所以我告诉你们，凡你们祷告祈求的，无论是甚麽，只要信是得着的，就必得着。” 求神坚固我们的信心，能够 “始终如一地养成依靠神帮助你的习惯”。祷告奉主名祷告，阿门！

This morning in "今日圣言 Holy Word Today ", I read the sharing of "Start Your Day with God " written by Rev. Bob & Mrs. Debby Gass. Pastor Bob quoted Psalm 5: 3, encouraging you to pray like this palmist does and rely on God every morning when you get up, asking Jehovah to listen to your voice, and state to God your intentions for starting the day and what you are going to do. This is what the theme of "今日灵粮 Spiritual Food TODAY" is about to share. Learn to be like this palmist David and his intimate relationship and daily intention with God, "Consistently Develop the Habit of Relying on God to Help You", so that you will not worry, but will be alert! Because the psalmist knows that God is not a Lord who delights in evil, and evil people cannot live with God. The arrogant cannot stand in His presence; God hates all who work iniquity. God will destroy anyone who tells lies; anyone who sheds blood and practices deceit is an abomination to the Lord.

Pastor Bob then explained the steps: Cultivate the habit of starting each day with God. If you do this, you will have a source of strength that you can draw from throughout the day. Psychologists say it takes three weeks for people to become familiar with a new habit, and another three weeks for the habit to take hold. That means you need to jump through a six-week hurdle. So, here is what you would do: (1) Make up your mind. If you start half-heartedly, you will never succeed. Hebrews 3: 13 says: “…encourage one another daily…” If that helps, you're accountable to someone. Let them encourage you and remind you of your commitment to God; (2) make no exceptions. Habits are like a ball of thread. Every time you drop it, some of the threads unravel. Therefore, don't let the thought of "never again" creep into your heart. Every act of surrender weakens your will and makes you retreat; (3) Use every opportunity to practice your new habits. Whenever you have the slightest urge to read the Bible, pray, get closer to God, and ask Him for help, do it. Don’t wait, use that moment to reinforce the new habit. When you first start developing a new habit, it doesn’t hurt to practice a little more; and (4) Rely on God’s power. You are in a spiritual battle, and you can only succeed with God's help. Depend on Him to help you develop this habit for His glory. Then, write down what you want from God, sign your name, write down the date of your prayer, and always put it in front of you and face it to God: "This way God will definitely answer your prayer." Happy Friday and great weekend everyone!

When all was said and done, "今日灵粮 Spiritual Food TODAY" would like to quote Mark 11: 24 and encourage every one of us to pray for each other in the love of the Lord, relying on God and having faith in Him to receive help. There is a pastor quoted Romans 10: 14-17 to encourage believers and said, Therefore, in order to prove true faith, Paul must call on God and establish this principle for us: Faith is born of the gospel, and faith will train our hearts to call on God and glorify His name. Therefore, the conclusion of today’s spiritual food with the quoted verses from Mark’s Gospel also encourage us, saying “Therefore I say to you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and you will receive it.” Therefore, we must Stay “Consistently Develop the Habit of Relying on God to Help You " Pray in the name of the Lord, Amen!
