復活週靈修4月13日 詩篇第118篇 Psalm 118


1   你們要稱謝耶和華,因他本是良善的;他的慈愛永遠長存。

2   願以色列說:“他的慈愛永遠長存。”

4   願敬畏耶和華的說:“他的慈愛永遠長存。”

22   建築工人所棄的石頭,成了房角的主要石頭;

23   這是耶和華作的,在我們眼中看為希奇。

24   這是耶和華所定的日子,我們要在這一日歡喜快樂。

25   耶和華啊!求你施行拯救;耶和華啊!求你使我們亨通。

26   奉耶和華的名來的是應當稱頌的,我們從耶和華的殿中給你們祝福。

27   耶和華是 神,他光照了我們。

 

誦讀:以敞開的心緩慢,柔和地讀,小心地聆聽一字一句,細細體味誦讀的每一部分。注意哪些字、句的部分是今天特別為自己的。

默想:在誦讀中,如果發現某一字或某一句對自己有個別意義,就要對這字或句子反覆思想;可能是感動,欣慰,難過等等。

禱告:然後跟神說話。和神互動時,就像你與愛你、接納你的人交往一樣。告訴神你在默想時,在内心深處的自我覺察和發現。

安歇:最後,安歇在神的愛內;在愛我的神的臨在中,我歡愉地安歇著,無論是對話,或是我無言寂靜地安歇著(詩篇131:2)。

筆錄將心中的思想,剛才的體驗,或是與神的禱告,記錄在「靈程筆記簿」上面。

 

另外讀經:使徒行傳41-12

彼得和約翰被捕在公會前受審

 

Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!
For His mercy endures forever.

Let Israel now say,
“His mercy endures forever.”

Let those who fear the Lord now say,
“His mercy endures forever.”

22 The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone.
23 This was the Lord’s doing;
It is marvelous in our eyes.
24 This is the day the Lord has made;
We will rejoice and be glad in it.

25 Save now, I pray, O Lord;
O Lord, I pray, send now prosperity.
26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!
We have blessed you from the house of the Lord.
27 God is the Lord,
And He has given us light;

 

 

Read slowly and gently through the passage.  Savor each portion of the reading, listening for the “still, small voice” of a word or phrase that somehow says, “I am for you today.”

TAKE in the word or phrase that touches you. Memorize it and slowly repeat it to yourself, allowing it to interact with your inner world of concerns, memories and ideas.

SPEAK to God.  Interact with God as you would with one who loves and accepts you. And give to Him what you have discovered in reading and reflection.

REST in God. Rejoicing in the knowledge that God is with you in both words and silence, in spiritual activity and inner receptivity.

Journaling: Write down your experience, any thought, and/or prayer in the 2012 “Spiritual Journal” book.
