申命记 30:19

✨ 默想
1. 神的作为是渐进的
• 神没有应许一夜之间除去一切敌人,而是“渐渐”地带领。
• 缓慢的过程塑造我们,使我们学习每天依靠祂。
• 灵命的成长不是速成,而是如同树木,须经时间扎根、茁壮。
2. 拣选生命是每日的决定
• 摩西呼吁百姓“拣选生命”。
• 这不是一次性的情绪,而是每天持续的顺服。
• 小小的忠心,累积成代代相传的祝福。
3. 快速容易的陷阱
• 太快的成功容易引人骄傲,忘记神。
• 当我们以为“不再需要神”时,其实正处在危险中。
• 神要我们在顺境与逆境中,都不失去对祂的记念与敬畏。
⸻
🪔 应用
• 我是否渴望立刻的突破,而忽略了信心需要“渐渐”地累积?
• 生命中,哪些领域需要我选择稳健的顺服,而不是走捷径?
• 我如何在每天的生活中提醒自己:拣选生命,记念主?
⸻
🙏 祷告
亲爱的天父,
祢的道路稳妥而不急躁,
教导我在缓慢的脚步中学习信靠祢。
赐我一颗恒久顺服的心,
让我每天都拣选生命,不忘记祢的恩典。
保守我不追逐短暂的轻易,
却愿在祢里面一点一滴成长,
结出永远长存的果子。
奉主耶稣的名,
阿们。
🌱 Devotional: Slow with Consistency or Fast and Easy?
September 5, 2025
📖 Scripture Reading
Deuteronomy 7:22
“The Lord your God will drive out those nations before you, little by little. You will not be allowed to eliminate them all at once…”
Deuteronomy 30:19
“This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses… I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live…”
Deuteronomy 8:11–14
“Be careful that you do not forget the Lord your God… Otherwise, when you eat and are satisfied… then your heart will become proud and you will forget the Lord your God.”

✨ Reflection
1. God’s Way is Little by Little
• The Lord did not promise instant victory but a gradual one.
• Slow progress allows us to be formed in faith and to depend on Him daily.
• Spiritual growth is like planting — it takes time to root and bear fruit.
2. The Consistent Choice of Life
• Moses urged the people to choose life every day.
• It’s not a one-time emotional decision, but a steady walk of obedience.
• Faithfulness in small steps leads to long-term blessing for generations.
3. The Danger of Fast and Easy
• Quick success often tempts us to pride and forgetfulness.
• When things come too easily, we may think we no longer need God.
• Deuteronomy reminds us: remember the Lord in every season — both wilderness and abundance.
⸻
🪔 Application
• Are you looking for “instant breakthroughs” instead of walking faithfully little by little?
• What area in your life needs steady obedience rather than quick fixes?
• How can you remind yourself daily to “choose life” and not forget the Lord?
⸻
🙏 Prayer
Heavenly Father,
thank You for teaching me that Your ways are steady and sure.
Help me to walk faithfully with You day by day,
choosing life and remembering Your goodness.
Keep me from chasing fast and easy paths that lead to pride or forgetfulness.
May I grow little by little in Your Word,
so that my life will bear fruit that lasts for generations.
In Jesus’ Name,
Amen.
