为那一天做好准备 BRD REFLECTIONS: 但以理书 12 和 诗篇 30 (张雪宁, 小组组长) 研读:  但以理书 12 (新译本) 观察:  但以理书第1节，“你的百姓”，谁是但以理的百姓？就是被但以理引向正义之主的百姓。凡记录在册上的，必得拯救。这“册上的” ，不容置疑，指的是“生命册”。 第2节，再次让我看到人的灵魂，是永不灭的，在这永不灭的灵魂，会得到什么样的遭遇？ 第3节，“那些使许多人归义的必发光”，讲述的是引人归主的人，因为我们的主，就是“公义”的代表。 ”奇异的事”，指的是： 第8节，智商高的但以理，看不明异象时，他斩钉截铁地直问“这些事的结局是怎样呢？” 第9节，“但以理，去吧！”，是让但以理继续去完成他的使命。同时等待神己经为他及那些使许多人归义的安排了美好的结局。 应用: 在但以理明白将有“末日”的到来，又见到他仍不明白的异像，他很有智慧的直接问“结局会怎样？”，如此才能提前有所准备以应付那将发生的事情。而主给他的答案是“去吧”，那就是继续去完成他在主己经交托他的任务及等候结局。 但以理被掳到巴比伦作人质，被安排侍立在异教君王面前，他的呼召就是要在王宫作见证，透过他职场上日常的言行举止，让他身边的人知道他所信仰的神是真正掌管万有，无所不能的神。如但以理书 12: 3、10 记载，顺服神的人，会使自己洁净、洁白，且受熬炼的，都是智慧人。这些智慧人要发光，如同天上的光；那领许多人归于义的必发光如星，直到永永远远。 实践:  真正掌管我的和掌管万有的掌权者，是主耶稣，从我相信祂，承认祂，接受祂为我的救主时，我的一生将要走过的路程，都已经在祂美好的旨意里。 所以，无论我身在何处，要实践身为主大家庭里共同的呼召-引人归主；当受熬炼时，要不住提醒自己： •⁠ ⁠爱人如己•⁠ ⁠不向环境低头•⁠ ⁠释放负罪感 祷告: 是的，主耶稣，我感谢祢将我的哀哭变为跳舞， 脱去我的麻衣，为我披上喜乐， 使我的灵歌颂祢，不致缄默。 耶和华－我的上帝啊，我要称谢祢，直到永远！阿们！
