马大,马大!你为许多的事思虑烦扰(路10:41)。 你想,乌鸦也不种,也不收,……你想,百合花怎样长起来?它也不劳苦,也不纺线。……你们不要求吃什么,喝什么,也不要挂心。……你们必须用这些东西,你们的父是知道的(路12:24,27,29,30)。
只要有衣有食,就当知足。但那些想要发财的人,就陷在迷惑、落在网罗和许多无知有害的私欲里,叫人沉在败坏和灭亡中。贪财是万恶之根。有人贪恋钱财,就被引诱离了真道,用许多愁苦把自己刺透了(提前6:8…10)。 后来有世上的思虑、钱财的迷惑和别样的私欲,进来把道挤住了,就不能结实(可4:19)。 我们就当放下各样的重担,脱去容易缠累我们的罪,存心忍耐,奔那摆在我们前头的路程(来12:1)。 Martha; Martha; thou art careful and troubled about many things。 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap。 Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not; they spin not。 Seek not ye what ye shall eat; or what ye shall drink; neither be ye of doubtful mind。 Your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things。 Having food and raiment let us be therewith content 。。。 They that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare; and into many foolish and hurtful lusts; which drown men in destruction and perdition。 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after; they have erred from the faith; and pierced themselves through with many sorrows。 The cares of this world; and the deceitfulness of riches; and the lust of other things entering in; choke the word; and it beeth unfruitful。 Let us lay aside every weight; and the sin which doth so easily beset us; and let us run with patience the race that is set before us。 LUKE 10:41。 Luke 12:24;27;29;30。 I Tim。 6:8…10。 Mark 4:19。 Heb。 12:1。

隐秘的事是属耶和华我们 神的;惟有明显的事是永远属我们和我们子孙的(申29:29)。 耶和华啊,我的心不狂傲,我的眼不高大,重大和测不透的事,我也不敢行。我的心平稳安静,好像断过奶的孩子在他母亲的怀中;我的心在我里面真像断过奶的孩子(诗131:1,2)。 耶和华与敬畏他的人亲密,他必将自己的约指示他们(诗25:14)。只有一位在天上的 神,能显明奥秘的事(但2:28)。 以后我不再称你们为仆人,因仆人不知道主人所作的事;我乃称你们为朋友,因我从我父所听见的,已经都告诉你们了(约15:15)。你们若爱我,就必遵守我的命令。我要求父,父就另外赐给你们一位保惠师,叫他永远与你们同在(约14:15,16)。我还有好些事要告诉你们,但你们现在担当不了。只等真理的圣灵来了,他要引导你们明白一切的真理(约16:12,13)。 The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those which are revealed belong unto us。 LORD; my heart is not haughty; nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters; or in things too high for me。 Surely I have behaved and quieted myself; as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child。
The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him: and he will shew them his covenant。 — There is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets。 — Lo; these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you。 — If ye love me; keep my …mandments。 And I will pray the Father; and he shall give you another forter that he may abide with you for ever; even the Spirit of truth。 DEUT。 29:29。 Psa。 131:1;2。 Psa。 25:14。 …Dan。 2:28。 …Job 26:14。 John 15:15。 …John 14:15…17。

圣灵照着 神的旨意替圣徒祈求(罗8:27)。 你们若向父求什么,他必因我的名赐给你们。向来你们没有奉我的名求什么,如今你们求就必得着,叫你们的喜乐可以满足(约16:23,24)。靠着圣灵随时多方祷告祈求(弗6:18)。 我们若照他的旨意求什么,他就听我们,这是我们向他所存坦然无惧的心。既然知道他听我们一切所求的,就知道我们所求于他的,无不得着(约壹5:14,15)。 神的旨意就是要你们成为圣洁(帖前4:3)。 神召我们,乃是要我们成为圣洁。……那赐圣灵给你们的 神(帖前4:7,8)。 要常常喜乐,不住的祷告,凡事谢恩,因为这是 神在基督耶稣里向你们所定的旨意。不要消灭圣灵的感动(帖前5:16…19)。 The Spirit 。。。 maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God。 Verily; verily I say unto you; Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name; he will give it you。 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask; and ye shall receive; that your joy may be full。 — Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit。 This is the confidence that we have in him; that; if we ask any thing ac…cording to his will; he heareth us; and if we know that he hear us; whatsoever we ask; we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him。 — This is the will of God; even your sanctification。 God hath 。。。 called us 。。。 unto holiness: 。。。 who hath also given unto us his Holy Spirit。 Rejoice evermore。 Pray without ceasing。 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you。 Quench not the Spirit。 ROM。 8:27。 John 16:23;24。 …Eph。 6:18。 I John 5:14;15。 …I Thes。 4:3。 I Thes。 4:7;8。 I Thes。 5:16…19。

你们要谨慎行事,不要像愚昧人,当像智慧人。要爱惜光阴,因为现今的世代邪恶(弗5:15,16)。 只要切切地谨慎遵行诫命律法,爱耶和华你们的神,行他一切的道,守他的诫命,专靠他,尽心尽性侍奉他(书22:5)。你们要爱惜光阴,用智慧与外人交往。你们的言语要常常带着和气,好像用盐调和,就可知道该怎样回答各人(西4:5,6)。各样的恶事要禁戒不作(帖前5:22)。 新郎迟延的时候,他们都打盹、睡着了。半夜有人喊着说:新郎来了,你们出来迎接他!所以,你们要儆醒,因为那日子、那时辰,你们不知道(太25:5,6,13)。 弟兄们,应当更加殷勤,使你们所蒙的恩召和拣选坚定不移。你们若行这几样,就永不失脚(彼后1:10)。主人来了,看见仆人儆醒,那仆人就有福了(路12:37)。 See that ye walk circumspectly; not as fools; but as wise; redeeming the time; because the days are evil。 Take diligent heed to do the mandment and the law; to love the LORD your God; and to walk in all his ways; and to keep his mandments; and to cleave unto him; and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul。 — Walk in wisdom toward them that are without; redeeming the time。 Let your speech be always with grace; seasoned with salt; that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man。 — Abstain from all appearance of evil。 While the bridegroom tarried; they all slumbered and slept。 And at midnight there was a cry made; Behold; the bridegroom eth; go ye out to meet him。 — Watch; therefore; for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man eth。 Brethren; give diligence to make your calling and election sure; for if we do these things; ye shall never fall。 — Blessed are those servants; whom the lord when he eth shall find watching。 EPH。 5:15;16。 Josh。 22:5。 …Col。 4:5;6。 …I Thes。 5:22。 Matt。 25:5;6。 …Matt。 25:13。 II Pet。 1:10。 …Luke 12:37。

你要持守你所有的,免得人夺去你的冠冕(启3:11)。 我只摸他的衣裳,就必痊愈。主若肯,必能叫我洁净了。……我肯,你洁净了吧!若有信心像一粒芥菜种(太9:21;8:2,3;17:20)。你们不可丢弃勇敢的心,存这样的心必得大赏赐(来10:35)。就当恐惧战兢,作成你们得救的工夫;因为你们立志行事,都是 神在你们心里运行,为要成就他的美意(腓2:12,13)。 先发苗,后长穗,再后穗上结成饱满的子粒(可4:28)。我们务要认识耶和华,竭力追求认识他(何6:3)。天国是努力进入的,努力的人就得着了(太11:12)。你们也当这样跑,好叫你们得着奖赏(林前9:24)。 那美好的仗我已经打过了,当跑的路我已经跑尽了,所信的道我已经守住了。从此以后,有公义的冠冕为我存留,就是按着公义审判的主到了那日要赐给我的(提后4:7,8)。
Hold that fast which thou hast; that no man take thy crown。 If I may but touch his garment; I shall be whole。 — Lord; if thou wilt; thou canst make me clean。 I will; be thou clean。 — Faith as a grain of mustard seed。 Cast not away 。。。 your confidence; which hath great repence of reward。 — Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling。 It is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure。 First the blade; then the ear; after that the full corn in the ear。 — Then shall we know; if we follow on to know the LORD。 — The kingdom of heaven suf…fereth violence; and the violent take it by force。 — So run; that ye may obtain。 I have fought a good fight; I have finished my course; I have kept the faith: henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness; which the Lord; the righteous judge; shall give me at that day。 REV。 3:11。 Matt。 9:21。 …Matt。 8:2;3。 …Matt。 17:20。 Heb。 10:35。 …Phi。 2:12;13。 Mark 4:28。 …Hos。 6:3。 …Matt。 11:12。 …I Cor。 9:24。 II Tim。 4:7;8。
六月十七日 早课
凡事藉着祷告、祈求和感谢,将你们所要的告诉 神(腓4:6)。 我爱耶和华,因为他听了我的声音和我的恳求。他既向我侧耳,我一生要求告他(诗116:l,2)。 你们祷告,不可像外邦人,用许多重复话,他们以为话多了必蒙垂听(太6:7)。我们的软弱有圣灵帮助,我们本不晓得当怎样祷告,只是圣灵亲自用说不出来的叹息替我们祷告(罗8:26)。 我愿男人无忿怒,无争论,举起圣洁的手,随处祷告(提前2:8)。靠着圣灵,随时多方祷告祈求,并要在此儆醒不倦,为众圣徒祈求(弗6:18)。 若是你们中间有两个人在地上同心合意地求什么事,我在天上的父必为他们成全(太8:19)。 In every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God。 I love the LORD; because he hath heard my voice and my supplications。 Because he hath inclined his ear unto me; therefore will I call upon him as long as I live。 When ye pray; use not
