靈修短文：必會臨到的經歷 (This Experience Must Come) 2022-09-18

必會臨到的經歷 (This Experience Must Come)
作者：章伯斯 (Oswald Chambers, 1874-1917)

以後不再見他了。(王下2:12)

倚賴你的以利亞並沒有錯，只要是神把他賜給你。但是要記得，時候到了，他就必須要離開。他不能再做你的領導，因為神認為他不應該再做你的領導了。你會說：沒有以利亞，我無法前行。但神說你必須要前行。

獨自在你的約旦 (14節)。約旦是分別的表徵，代表沒有人與你相交，也表示沒有人可以為你負起責任。你必須把，從你的以利亞那裡，所學習到的功課，拿出來驗證。你和以利亞，一次又一次過了約旦河，但現在你得獨自面對。光說你不能過，是沒有用的。這個經歷已然來到，你必須要前行。你若想要知道，神是否如你所信的一樣，就要單獨過你的約旦河。

獨自在你的耶利哥 (15節)。你曾在耶利哥看見以利亞行大事，但是當你來到自己的耶利哥，你就很不願意採取主動行動，並信靠神，只想要別人去替你承擔。你若忠於從以利亞所學到的功課，就必得著神與你同在的印證。

獨自在你的伯利恒 (23節)。在伯利恒，你來到自己才智的盡頭，這卻是神智慧的起頭。當你來到自己的盡頭，並迫使你屈服於恐慌時，請你不要驚慌。要忠於祂，祂自有方法把真理顯明，並使你的生命成聖。

把你從以利亞所學習到的功課，操練、實行出來，用他的外衣，並禱告。下定決心、立定心志，恆久信靠神，不要再尋找你的以利亞了。

Devotional: This Experience Must Come
Author: Oswald Chambers (1874-1917)

And he saw him no more. (2 Kings 2:12)

It is not wrong to depend upon Elijah as long as God gives him to you, but remember the time will come when he will have to go; when he stands no more to you as your guide and leader, because God does not intend he should. You say—‘I cannot go on without Elijah.’ God says you must.

Alone at your Jordan. v. 14. Jordan is the type of separation where there is no fellowship with anyone else, and where no one can take the responsibility for you. You have to put to the test now what you learned when you were with your Elijah. You have been to Jordan over and over again with Elijah, but now you are up against it alone. It is no use saying you cannot go; this experience has come, and you must go. If you want to know whether God is the God you have faith to believe Him to be, then go through your Jordan alone.

Alone at your Jericho. v. 15. Jericho is the place where you have seen your Elijah do great things. When you come to your Jericho you have a strong disinclination to take the initiative and trust in God, you want someone else to take it for you. If you remain true to what you learned with Elijah, you will get the sign that God is with you.

Alone at your Bethel. v. 23. At your Bethel you will find yourself at your wits’ end and at the beginning of God’s wisdom. When you get to your wits’ end and feel inclined to succumb to panic, don’t; stand true to God and He will bring His truth out in a way that will make your life a sacrament. Put into practice what you learned with your Elijah, use his cloak and pray. Determine to trust in God and do not look for Elijah any more.

親子教養：稱職的教養 (Good Parenting) 2022-09-11

親子教養：稱職的教養 (Good Parenting)
作者：諾曼萊特 (H. Norman Wright)

教養孩童，使他走當行的道 (依其個別之恩賜或性向)，就是到老他也不偏離。(箴廿二6，增註版聖經)

坊間已有許多關於教養兒女的書籍。我們也耳聞教導孩子的方式有：放任型、限制型、忽視型和獨裁型等。哪一種最好呢？父母當做些什麼呢？Jack & Judith Balswick 夫婦給了我們以下的答覆：

有些教養方式，能夠促進孩童的成長；其他的一些方式，則因爲太促長倚賴心，或過早期待兒女的獨立自主，而阻礙了成長。

在早期嘗試了解教養方式的研究中，已做出放任型和限制型，這兩種相對應的區別。放任型的支持者，並不排斥管教的需要，但著重強調孩子最大的需要是溫情與安全感。限制型的支持者，並不排斥父母對孩子的愛，但強調孩子最大的需要是紀律、責任與自我控制。

從過去三十年有關教養的眾多研究看來，有兩個要素—父母的控制與父母的支持—顯示出來是稱職教養的重要元素。父母的控制，意謂著作父母的，要積極主動地提供指導方針，設立界限，指導孩子的行為朝向理想的方向。父母的支持，是指父母給予孩子的肯定、鼓勵、支持，使孩子確知他們是被接納、被關愛的。

有些父母擅長於教導正確的行爲，但卻無法在自己的生活中，來身體力行。實際上，這等於告訴孩子：「照我所說的去做，但我怎麼行你不要管。」當父母自身無法活出所教導的行爲標準時，孩子心中會十分清楚，並感到忿恨不平。孩子會認清父母的言行不一，當父母提出要求時，孩子會無法敬重父母，或是反抗。

另一方面，光是注重身教，卻從來不向孩子解釋，自己堅持某些價值和信念的原因，這同樣缺少了適當的技巧。重要的是，父母要花時間向孩子說明，爲何期待他們有好的行爲，藉此來引導、裝備、幫助兒女。這是我們所尋求的平衡，或許形容為管教的角色，最為貼切。

你是屬於哪一型的父母？

Parenting Devotional: Good Parenting
Author: H. Norman Wright

Train up a child in the way he should go [and in keeping with his individual gift or bent] and when he is old he will not depart from it (Proverbs 22:6, AMP).

There are so many books about parenting. We hear about permissive, restrictive, neglectful, and authoritarian styles. Which is best? What are parents to do? Here are some answers from Jack and Judith Balswick:

While some parenting styles encourage growth and are empowering, others hinder or block growth either by fostering dependency or by expecting self-reliance prematurely.

Early attempts to understand parenting styles made a distinction between permissive versus restrictive parenting. Proponents of the permissive style, while not rejecting the need for discipline, stressed that a child‵s greatest need is for warmth and security. Those holding to the restrictive style, while not rejecting parental affection, emphasized that a child‵s greatest need is for discipline, responsibility and self-control.

In hundreds of studies done on parenting styles over the last thirty years, two factors—parental control and parental support—have emerged as the most important elements in good parenting. The term parental control means that you, as a parent, actively provide guidelines, set limits, direct and redirect your child‵s behavior in some desired direction. The term parental support refers to the affirmation, encouragement, and general support that you give to assure your children that they are accepted and cared for.

Some parents are great at teaching right behavior but not so good at following through in their own lives. In effect they tell their children, "Do as I say not as I do." Children will understandably feel resentful when parents fail to live by the standards they preach. Children recognize the incongruence and may be disrespectful or rebellious when parents make demands.

On the other hand, parents who model right behavior but never provide explanations and good reasons for the values and beliefs they hold are also lacking appropriate skills. It is important that parents guide, equip, and empower their children by taking time to give the whys of the behavior they expect from them. It’s balance we‵re looking for, perhaps best described as a disciplining role.

What type of parent are you?

歌譜 (Sheet Music of Hymn)
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/xu7af55i1gekiue/AAC9GCDFEiOCXxxHQSo5cZn8a?dl=0

1. 我不知明天的道路，
每一天只為主活。
我不借明天的陽光，
因明天或轉陰暗。
我不要為將來憂慮，
因我信主的應許。
我今天要與主同行，
因祂知前面路程。

副歌：
有許多未來的事情，
我現在不能識透。
但我知誰掌管明天，
我也知誰牽我手。

2. 每一步越走越光明，
像攀登黃金階梯。
每重擔越挑越輕省，
每朵雲披上銀衣。
在那裡陽光常普照，
在那裡沒有眼淚。
在美麗彩虹的盡頭，
眾山嶺與天相連。

3. 我不知明天的道路，
或遭遇飢餓貧苦。
但那位看顧麻雀者，
祂必然把我看顧。
祂是我旅途的良伴，
若遭受水火之災。
我救主必與我同在，
祂寶血把我遮蓋。

Hymn: I Know Who Holds Tomorrow
Author: Ira F. Stanphill (1914–1993)

1. I don‵t know about tomorrow,
I just live from day to day.
I don‵t borrow from its sunshine,
For its skies may turn to gray.
I don‵t worry o‵er the future,
For I know what Jesus said,
And today I‵ll walk beside Him,
For He knows what is ahead.

Refrain:
Many things about tomorrow,
I don‵t seem to understand;
But I know who holds tomorrow,
And I know who holds my hand.

2. Every step is getting brighter,
As the golden stairs I climb;
Every burden‵s getting lighter;
Every cloud is silver lined.
There the sun is always shining,
There no tear will dim the eye,
At the ending of the rainbow,
Where the mountains touch the sky.

3. I don‵t know about tomorrow,
It may bring me poverty;
But the one who feeds the sparrow,
Is the one who stands by me.
And the path that be my portion,
May be through the flame or flood,
But His presence goes before me,
And I‵m covered with His blood.

婚輔信息：付出愛 (Giving Love) 2022-08-28

付出愛 (Giving Love)
作者：蓋瑞巧門 (Gary Chapman)

愛弟兄，要彼此親熱；恭敬人，要彼此推讓。(羅馬書十二章10節)

對浪漫愛情的渴望，深深根植於我們的內心中，這使得幾乎所有的雜誌上，都至少有一篇，使愛情常保活力的文章。那麼爲何，在婚禮之後，好像只有少數夫妻，找到那永久愛情的祕訣呢？我確信原因是，我們專注於「得到愛」，而不是「付出愛」。

只要你一直把焦點，放在配偶應該爲你做什麼上，就容易變成指責和批評。換個方法如何？試著說：「我能夠幫你什麼忙？我如何讓你過得更輕鬆？我怎樣當一個更好的配偶？」在羅馬書十二章，保羅寫到，若我們彼此相愛，應該恭敬人，要彼此推讓。對所愛的人付出，不該成爲令人討厭的工作；如果我們的愛是真誠的，那麼付出與服事，將會是一種喜樂；付出愛將使你們的關係，保持活力。

父啊，今日請幫助我，專注於付出愛；讓我把焦點，少放一點在配偶能夠給我什麼上，多放一點在我能給他（她）什麼上；我因著祢那無私、付出愛的終極榜樣，而感謝、讚美祢。

Marriage Devotional: Giving Love
Author: Gary Chapman

Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other. (Romans 12:10)

The desire for romantic love is deeply rooted in our psychological makeup. Almost every popular magazine has at least one article on keeping love alive. So why is it that so few couples seem to have found the secret to a lasting love after the wedding? I‵m convinced it‵s because we concentrate on "getting love" rather than "giving love."

As long as you focus on what your spouse should be doing for you, you‵ll come across as condemning and critical. How about a different approaching that says, "What can I do to help you? How can I make your life easier? How can I be a better spouse?" In Romans 12, Paul writes that when we love each other, we should "take delight in honoring each other." Giving to the one we love does not have to be a chore; if our affection is genuine, giving and serving can be a joy. Giving love will keep your relationship alive.

Father, help me to concentrate on giving love today. May l focus less on what my spouse can give me, and more on what I can give to him or her. Thanks for being the ultimate example of selfless, giving love.

格言語錄-陶恕-5 2022-08-21

凡想要去認識神的人，他就必須將時間留給神。
他必須把，培養對神的認識，所需要花費的時間，不視為枉費。
他必須使自己，持續專注於默想和禱告。

古時候的聖徒們、滿有榮光的使徒們、彼此有美好相交的眾先知們，
以及在歷世歷代中，充滿信心和聖潔的教會肢體們，
他們都是將時間留給神的人。

The man who would know God must give time to Him.
He must count no time wasted which is spent in the cultivation of His acquaintance. He must give himself to meditation and prayer hours on end.

So did the saints of old, the glorious company of the apostles, the goodly fellowship of the prophets and the believing members of the holy church in all generations.

- 陶恕 (A. W. Tozer, 1897-1963)

主啊
等候這件事
看來似乎很容易
可是要學
總要花幾年

開步走 跑步
比立正容易的多

主啊
許多時候
我們很願意 很渴望事奉祢
但是
不曉得怎麼著手

可是
這又怎麼樣呢

難道我們就此絕望 煩惱嗎
就此膽怯 退後嗎
就此懼怕 停住嗎
還是
擅自前衝呢

主
祢告訴我們
不 都不
只要等候

用禱告等候
呼求祢
把事情展在祢面前
把難處告訴祢
向祢求應許

用信心等候
向祢表白不移的信任
讓我們相信
就是祢叫我們等到夜半
祢也必按時來臨

用忍耐等候

主
不讓我們發怨言
讓我們用簡單的心
完全接受臨到我們身上的一切
並且
把它們放在祢手裡

讓我們對祢說
現在 主啊
不要成就我的意思
只要成就祢的意思

我雖然不知道該怎麼做
我的心非常痛苦
但是
我願意等候
等候祢來
叫水分開
使敵人潰退

我願意等候
就是祢叫我等候多日
我也願意
因為我的心
單單仰望祢

主啊
我深信祢是我的喜樂
我的拯救
我的避難所
我的堅固台

禱告 奉主耶穌基督的聖名 阿門

Wait on the Lord
Author: C. H. Spurgeon (1834-1892)

Wait on the Lord. (Psalm 27:14)

It may seem an easy thing to wait, but it is one of the postures which a Christian soldier learns not without years of teaching. Marching and quick-marching are much easier to God’s warriors than standing still.

There are hours of perplexity when the most willing spirit, anxiously desirous to serve the Lord, knows not what part to take. Then what shall it do? Vex itself by despair? Fly back in cowardice, turn to the right hand in fear, or rush forward in presumption?

No, but simply wait. Wait in prayer, however. Call upon God, and spread the case before him; tell him your difficulty, and plead his promise of aid. But wait in faith. Express your unstaggering confidence in him. Believe that if he keep you tarrying even till midnight, yet he will come at the right time.

Wait in quiet patience, and accept the case as it is, and put it as it stands, simply and with your whole heart, without any self-will, into the hand of your covenant God, saying,

“Now, Lord, not my will, but thine be done. I know not what to do; I am brought to extremities, but I will wait until thou shalt cleave the floods, or drive back my foes. I will wait, if thou keep me many a day, for my heart is fixed upon thee alone, O God, and my spirit waiteth for thee in the full conviction that thou wilt yet be my joy and my salvation, my refuge and my strong tower.”

1. 真神之愛，偉大無窮，口舌筆墨，難以形容；
高超諸星，深達地獄，長闊高深，世無相同。
始祖犯罪，墮入引誘，神遣愛子拯救；
使我罪人與神和好，赦免一切罪尤。

副歌：
阿！神之愛，何等豐富！偉大無限無量！
永遠堅定，永遠不變，天使聖徒頌揚。

2. 歲月消逝，榮華衰敗，天地廢去，事物更變，
人若拒絕神的大愛，那日惟有求助山巖；
神的大愛，不會改變，何其無法測量；
向人所顯救贖恩典，聖徒天使同唱。

3. 天上諸天，當為紙張，地下萬莖，當為筆桿，
世上海洋，當為墨水，全球文人，集合苦幹，
耗盡智力，描寫神愛，海洋墨水會乾，
案卷雖長，如天連天，仍難表達透暢。

Hymn: The Love of God
Author: Frederick M. Lehman (1868-1953)

1. The love of God is greater far
Than tongue or pen can ever tell;
It goes beyond the highest star,
And reaches to the lowest hell.
The guilty pair, bowed down with care,
God gave His Son to win;
His erring child He reconciled,
And pardoned from his sin.

Refrain:
Oh, love of God, how rich and pure!
How measureless and strong!
It shall forevermore endure–
The saints, and angels‵ song.

2. When hoary time shall pass away,
And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall;
When men who here refuse to pray,
On rocks and hills and mountains call;
God‵s love, so sure, shall still endure,
All measureless and strong;
Redeeming grace to Adam‵s race–
The saints‵ and angels‵ song.

3. Could we with ink the ocean fill,
And were the skies of parchment made;
Were ev‵ry stalk on earth a quill,
And ev‵ry man a scribe by trade;
To write the love of God, above
Would drain the ocean dry;
Nor could the scroll contain the whole,
Tho‵ stretched from sky to sky.
