Steadfast Faith Confronts Sin
/in upwords /by meiling“This is what the Lord says: ‘You will not get down from the bed upon which you have lain, but you shall certainly die’” (2 Kings 1:4 NASB).
Elijah dispatched this verdict to the king. Ahaziah reacted in fear-filled vengeance. He sent fifty soldiers to do battle with the prophet. “But Elijah responded to the captain of fifty, ‘If I am a man of God, may fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty’” (2 Kings 1:10 NASB). White-hot heat fell and cremated the soldiers.
Once again, Elijah does not shy away from taking a stand against sin. Take note of this lesson: steadfast faith confronts blatant sin.





















感動參孫的靈
/in 每日親近神, 每日親近神-2026 /by meiling〈士師記 〉14:6 a耶和華的靈大大感動參孫,他雖然手無器械,卻將獅子撕裂,如同撕裂山羊羔一樣。
閱讀經文:〈士師記〉 14:1-20
以色列人的新士師誕生了,可能沒有太多人知道,他就是神所指定,要為以色列人制服非利士人的領袖。神祝福參孫,讓他成長順利。但是直到瑪哈尼坦,神的靈才感動他。這是參孫人生的一個轉折點。在這之前,他和其他小孩一樣,無憂無慮地成長,看到非利士人來,可能就躲得遠遠地。對於非利士人擁有的東西,可能也有點羨慕。就像二戰時期,華人的小孩看到洋人的一切都感到十分好奇。那時但的支派尚未找到他們要定居的地方,他們渴望像其他支派一樣也能安定下來。
