每日箴言
热忱
“‘我为你的殿,心里焦急,如同火烧。” – 约 2:17
灵修
太太驾驶校巴,已有十多年了,她热爱她的工作,并且有很好的表现,她驾驶巴士、照顾学生、接送学生的热忱,实在不同凡响。假若有任何东西妨碍她应该去做和热爱去做的事,她必定会奋战到底。她能够成为一位优秀的校巴司机,是因为她热爱她的工作。
耶稣也热切去做祂父的工作,祂期望能够栽培祂周围人的信心,若有什么东西妨碍祂这样做,祂必定会热切地除去这些障碍的,这就是今天这段经文的背景了。圣殿本是万国万民到来敬拜神的地方,现在竟然有兑换银钱和商人在里面摆设货摊和桌子做买卖;这些人根本不应该在殿里做生意,现在是他们离开的时候了。
同样,耶稣也热切期望栽培我们的信心。我们生命中总有妨碍我们灵命成长的事物,或许是我们心里怀着的积怨,或许是藏在我们心底、需要承认的罪,又或许是每天营役的生活或不断令我们分心的僻好;无论是什么障碍,耶稣都热切期望帮助我们把它们除去,好叫我们的信心能够成长,祂要清除所有拦阻我们到祂那里的障碍。
你愿意让耶稣清除所有拦阻你到祂那里的障碍吗?
祷告
耶稣啊,求祢洁净我的内心,今天清除所有拦阻我信靠祢和在祢里面成长的障碍。阿们。
普世佳音每日箴言
Passion
“Zeal for your house will consume me.” — John 2:17
Devotion
My wife has been a school bus driver for more than ten years. She loves what she does, and she is great at it. Her passion for bus driving, taking care of students, and transporting kids is amazing. If anything gets in the way of her doing what she is trained for and loves to do, she will fight it. What makes her a great bus driver is her passion for what she does.
Jesus was passionate about doing his Father’s work. He longed to cultivate the faith of the people around him. If anything stood in the way of forming faith, he was passionate about getting rid of those obstacles. That’s what is behind today’s verses. Money changers and merchants had set up their booths and tables in the temple courts, where people from the nations were supposed to be able to come and worship God. Those vendors didn’t belong there, and it was time for them to go.
Jesus is just as passionate about forming faith in us. In all of our lives there are things that stand in the way of our spiritual growth. Maybe we hold a grudge. Maybe there’s a deep-seated sin we need to confess. Maybe the busyness of daily life or an addiction keeps distracting us. Whatever it is, Jesus is passionate about helping us get rid of it so that our faith can grow. He wants to clear out whatever holds us back from him.
Will you let Jesus clear out the things that hold you back?
Prayer
Jesus, cleanse me from within. Clear out whatever holds me back from trusting in you and growing in you today. Amen.
