Last week: hymnal
Thank God that we enjoyed singing some hymns and sharing their function in various situation of life (eg. in shower, on birthday, on our own funeral...etc). May we like to praise Lord, thank Him, cry out to Him, and encourage and bless one another by singing hymns in every occasion.
The coming week:
06.08.2011 - pause
Let’s pray for the members in UK and also for ourselves here. May all of us keep earnestly learning God’s word and watering by His Spirit.
Bible verse for thinking:
...and he[Job] would rise early in the morning and offer burnt offerings according to the number of them all. [...] Thus Job did regularly. (Job 1:5)
To offer burnt offerings is not an easy work. Job needs sanctify himself first, and then kill, sprinkle the blood, skin and cut a big bulls into pieces, burnt it and pray, and then repeat the same movement for another 9 times. Every early morning, regularly. Can we regularly remember to pray for our family members and our brethren in this way? I.e. by offering a complete sacrifice for each one by considering about his/her needs and weakness carefully in prayer? (even in the early morning..)
May we look after for such heart of Christ. God bless and help us.
上週團契：唱詩分享
感謝神我們一起唱了許多詩歌，並分享這些詩歌在各種生活情境中的應用(如洗澡時、生日時、在自己的喪禮上...）。願我們無論何時都樂意用唱詩來讚美、感謝、呼求神，並用詩歌彼此勉勵、祝福。
本週團契：休息一次
讓我們為在英國神訓班的契友，與在德國的我們自己禱告，願我們都持續熱心學主的道，並渴慕被聖靈充滿。
經節默想：
...他[約伯]清早起來，按著他們眾人的數目獻燔祭。[...]約伯常常這樣行。（伯一5）
獻燔祭並不是件輕鬆的事。約伯必須先自潔，然後殺一整隻牛、灑血、剝皮、切塊、燒、禱告，然後再重複同樣的動作九次。我們是否能照樣如此行？每一天記得為家人、為教會肢體，在禱告中完整仔細地紀念每一個人他們的需要與軟弱？(甚至是清早起來禱告？
願我們能追求這樣基督的心腸。願主祝福幫助我們。
