双语灵修（葛培理牧师）：10月4日 尊重神的权柄

10月4日

尊重神的权柄

耶稣进前来，对他们说：“天上地下所有的权柄都赐给我了”。

——太28:18

我们要尊重权柄。耶稣基督在圣父的权柄之下…，他活着只为一件事：完成圣父的旨意。每个人都受制于某种权柄。只有一条指挥链，最高的权柄是神。

在生活中，你受到哪些权柄的支配呢？是你的自私吗？或是欲望？或是贪婪？还是把一切都交给神，说：“主啊，你将是我的权柄” ？ 当你在权柄之下，你就可以承担权柄之重。

今日祷告

主耶稣啊，在我生命中，还有些地方需要降服在你的权柄之下，求你赐我恩典和力量使我完全降服于你。奉主耶稣基督的圣名，阿们！

Respect for Authority

And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All [authority] is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
—Matthew 28:18

Have respect for authority. Jesus Christ was under the authority of His Father in heaven . . . He lived for one thing: to fulfill the will of the Father. Everyone is subject to some kind of authority. There is one chain of command and the ultimate authority at the top is God.

What is the authority in your life? Is it your selfishness? Your lust? Your greed? Or have you turned it all over to God and said, “Lord, You are going  to be my authority?” When you are under authority, you are then able to assume authority.

Prayer for the day
There are still areas in my life that need to come under Your authority, Lord Jesus. Give me Your grace and strength to yield everything to You.
