Gifts From the Father
/in upwords /by meilingJames 1:17 says, “Every good and every perfect gift is from above and comes down from the father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.”
Take this simple pocket prayer for you today: Dear Father, teach me to accept what you’ve given. I may not always understand the circumstances, but show me how they are blessings and give me gratitude for all your gifts. Rain your blessings on my friends and family today. Give them hope whatever they face. Thank you that your blessings never end. In Jesus name, amen.
Here’s my challenge for you: every day for four weeks pray four minutes. Then get ready to connect with God like never before.

























烈火焚山
/in 每日親近神, 每日親近神-2026 /by meiling〈申命記〉 5: 32 所以,你們要照耶和華你們神所吩咐的謹守遵行,不可偏離左右。
有人把對母親的看法做了簡單的註解:「3 歲時: 媽咪,我愛妳。10 歲時: 媽,随便啦。16 歲時: 我媽真的很煩。18 歲時: 想要離開這個家。25 歲時: 媽,妳當時是對的。30 歲時: 我想要去我媽家。50 歲時: 我不想失去我媽。70 歲時: 只要我媽還能在這,我願意放棄一切。」這些過程我都看過了,也經歷了,真是百感交集。難怪古人說,養兒方知父母恩。沒有做過父母,不知道父母的心腸。從思念父母的教導到回想神給以色列人十誡的心情,真有點類似。
神實在是盡其所能地將自己顯現給以色列人,祂甚至讓整座何烈山(西乃山)都著火了。一個非常奇特的景象,摩西看到的只是未被燒毀的荊棘,以色列人看到的是更大更壯觀的奇景。以色列人站在山下,山上有火焰沖天,並有昏黑、密雲、幽暗。
