第十五章

1 我又看見在天上有異象，大而且奇，就是七位天使掌管末了的七災，因為神的大怒在這七災中發盡了。2 我看見彷彿有玻璃海，其中有火攙雜。又看見那些勝了獸和獸的像並牠名字數目的人，都站在玻璃海上，拿著神的琴，3 唱神僕人摩西的歌和羔羊的歌，說：主神─全能者啊，你的作為大哉！奇哉！萬世之王啊，你的道途義哉！誠哉！4 主啊，誰敢不敬畏你，不將榮耀歸與你的名呢？因為獨有你是聖的。萬民都要來在你面前敬拜，因你公義的作為已經顯出來了。

默想：

1. 在蠻橫混亂的世界，我們經常會迷失方向，敬拜使我們重新定位，擺正方向。在我們生活的每個方面來敬拜神——每天將我們自己獻上當作活祭（羅12;1-3），是我們在屬靈爭戰中，是最有力的武器。
2. 在我的屬靈旅程中，敬拜和爭戰佔有怎樣的位置？
3. 存著對神最高的崇敬，慢慢讀3-4節，輕唱「我心旋律」詩歌《敬拜萬世之主》，作為今天對主的敬拜：

 

主啊！有誰不敬畏你，不將榮耀歸你名；

因為獨有袮是至聖，萬民都要來到你面前；

敬拜，尊崇，因你公義的作為已彰顯。

主神，全能者啊！袮的作為大哉奇哉！

萬世之王！我敬拜你，你的道途義哉誠哉！

禱告與筆錄：

繼續安靜在神面前，與神對話，並聆聽祂對我說的話。將心中的思想（心得），或是與神的禱告，記錄在「靈程筆記簿」上面。

 

Chapter 15：

¹I saw in heaven another great and marvelous sign: seven angels with the seven last plagues—last, because with them God’s wrath is completed. ²And I saw what looked like a sea of glass mixed with fire and, standing beside the sea, those who had been victorious over the beast and his image and over the number of his name. They held harps given them by God ³and sang the song of Moses the servant of God and the song of the Lamb:
   “Great and marvelous are your deeds,  Lord God Almighty.    Just and true are your ways,  King of the ages.
⁴Who will not fear you, O Lord, and bring glory to your name?
For you alone are holy.  All nations will come and worship before you, for your righteous acts have been revealed.”

 

 Meditation

1. In a turbulent world where we are constantly getting disoriented, worship is the way we get re-orientated.  Worshipping God in all areas of our lives—daily giving all of our selves as a living sacrifice (Romans 12:1-2)—is our powerful weapon in the midst of a spiritual warfare.
2. In my spiritual journey, how does worship and spiritual battle play a role in my spiritual growth?
3. With my most reverence to God, read slowly vv3-4 a few times as my worship to God this day.

 

Prayer & Journaling:

Stay with God for a little longer.  Continue to converse with God and listen to what he wants to tell me.  Then write down any thought and/or prayer in the 2012 “Spiritual Journal” book.
