迫切寻求主耶稣 BRD REFLECTION 2026 马太福音20:29-34; 诗篇70 (白淑君，华文事工委员) 阅读： 马太福音20:29-34; 诗篇70 观察： 两位瞎子虽然无法用肉眼看见耶稣，却因听见耶稣经过而满怀盼望地守候在路旁。他们认出耶稣是“大卫的子孙”，表明他们心里真实相信耶稣是弥赛亚，是能拯救和医治人的主。他们迫切呼求：“主啊，可怜我们吧！”显出他们对耶稣完全的信靠。尽管众人责备他们，要他们安静，但他们没有退缩，反而更加大声呼喊，因为他们深知耶稣是唯一的盼望。耶稣虽然知道他们的需要，却先问：“要我为你们做什么？”让他们清楚表达信心与渴望。当他们直接求主开他们的眼睛时，耶稣因怜悯而医治他们，使他们立刻重见光明。 应用： 这段经文提醒我，真正的信心不仅是知道耶稣是谁，更是在真实需要中主动来到祂面前。两位瞎子虽然肉眼看不见，却比许多看得见的人更清楚地认识耶稣。他们认出耶稣是“大卫的子孙”，相信祂有能力医治，因此不顾众人的责备与拦阻，反而更加迫切地呼求主。他们把握住耶稣经过的机会，因为知道若错过，也许就再没有机会。反思自己，我虽然相信耶稣能帮助我，却常常在困难、压力和工作挑战中先依靠自己，而不是第一时间来到主面前。有时我会对自己说“不要太认真”，或因忙碌而把祷告一再延后。事实上，真正的属灵突破，不是从更加努力开始，而是从谦卑承认“主，我需要你”开始。耶稣虽然知道人的需要，却仍然问：“要我为你做什么？”这提醒我，祷告需要真实和具体。我需要学习像这两位瞎子一样，在软弱、迷惘和无助中，坚持呼求主，相信祂乐意垂听，也愿意施恩帮助我。 实践： 我愿学习在每日生活中迫切寻求主耶稣。当面对工作中的压力、内心的焦虑或人生的困难时，不再急于依靠自己的能力寻找答案，而是先安静下来，以祷告将一切需要带到主的面前。不因环境的改变、生活的忙碌或周围纷杂的声音，而减少对神的信靠与依赖。正如那两位瞎子，即使面对拦阻与责备，仍坚定不移地呼求耶稣。我也愿学习更真实而具体地祷告，不只是简单地求主帮助，而是坦然向神倾诉内心深处真实的需要。我要操练信心，相信主深知我的处境，并必按祂最美好的时间赐下帮助与引导。愿我在不断寻求主的过程中，属灵的眼睛日渐明亮，更深认识祂，也更亲近祂。 祷告： 主耶稣，感谢祢始终与我同在，随时垂听我的呼求。求祢教导我每天带着信心与盼望来寻求祢。开启我属灵的眼睛，使我看见祢的引导与恩典。帮助我在每一个处境中依靠祢的能力，在平安、信靠与喜乐中，与祢同行。阿们。

生于麦稗之间，扎根上帝真理 BRD REFLECTION 2026 马太福音 13:24–30；诗篇 53 (李一盈 (华文事工) 研读: 马太福音 13:24–30（稗子的比喻）诗篇 53 触动我的经文:“让两样一齐长，等着收割。”（马太福音 13:30） “神从天上垂看世人，要看有明白的没有，有寻求他的没有。”（诗篇 53:2） 观察: 当我第一次研读马太福音13:24–30时，我最初的理解是关于分辨善与恶。当我更深入地默想时，我发现这段经文也在谈论人的心。上帝在邀请我先向内省察，而不只是看外在。 在诗篇53章中，我们看到人若没有神，就会偏离正道。然而，上帝并不遥远，祂从天上垂看，寻找那些寻求祂的人。 这些经文提醒我，真正的成长并不是用世界的标准来衡量，而是看是否扎根于神。 应用: 当我默想这些经文时，我意识到人是多么容易用外在的标准来衡量进展与价值，而非根据上帝的真理为准。我们也极其容易背负起那些并不属于神的期待。 马太福音第13章提醒我，生命不在于用这些世俗的标准来衡量自己，而是忠于上帝所创造我的样式。虽然麦子与稗子一同生长，但麦子的呼召仅仅是“守住麦子的本分”, 神必会在祂的时间带来收割。 在每日与基督同行的道路上，我知道这不是关于努力去满足世界的期待，而是要扎根于神，将我的身份建立在祂对我的定义中，在众多声音中选择祂的真理，并在成长看似缓慢或不确定时，仍然忠心地继续成长。 这就是在麦子与稗子中成长的意义：不是要把一切都弄明白，而是要常在神里面——信靠祂，在祂里面成长，并成为祂所创造的我。并且知道，祂在我生命的每一步都与我同在。 行动: • 即使在成长的过程看似缓慢或不明显，也要每天持续寻求神。• 扎根在主的话语中，把我的身份建立在主的真理上，而非世俗的眼光。• 亲近神，并保守我的心，不用世俗的标准来衡量自己。 祷告: 主啊，感谢祢提醒我，祢看的是我的内心，而不是我的外在。 当我拿自己与世界的标准作比较时，求祢把我带回到祢面前。教导我扎根在祢的真理中，并全然信靠祢对我生命的引领与时机。 主啊，赐我一颗坚定不移的心，使我紧紧持守在基督里的身份。 求主在我的基督徒生命旅程中，时刻提醒我祢每一步都与我同在。教导我常在祢里面，并将其余的一切都交托信靠祢。 奉主耶稣基督的名祷告，阿们。
