🌿 站在所赐之地,活在所爱的里面

📅 日期:2026 年 1 月 22 日

📖 经文:

“我要把迦南地赐给你们,作你们产业的份。”(历代志上 16:18)

“……耶和华……喜悦我,拣选我……”(历代志上 28:4)

✨ 灵修

《历代志上》不是写给一个正在得胜、强盛的民族,

而是写给一群经历过失败、被掳、如今正在重建的百姓。

他们回到耶路撒冷时,看见的是:

• 破碎的城墙

• 荒凉的土地

• 微小的开始

他们心里很可能在问:

我们还是神的百姓吗?

这块地,真的是神给我们的吗?

还是我们只是勉强活下来的一小群人?

就在这样的背景中,《历代志上》没有急着讲“要做什么”,

而是先用长长的家谱、神的拣选、神的应许,

一遍又一遍地回答一个更根本的问题:

你是谁?你站在哪里?你还属于谁?

神说:“我要把迦南地赐给你们,作你们产业的份。”

产业不是他们争回来的,

不是他们配得的,

而是神仍然愿意给的。

换句话说:

他们不是勉强站在一块残余的土地上,

他们仍然是站在神所赐的地上。

而大卫回顾自己的一生时说:

“神喜悦我,拣选我。”

这句话对那一代归回的人来说,是极大的安慰。

因为他们很容易觉得:

我们失败过,神是不是只是勉强留下我们?

但神借着《历代志上》告诉他们:

你们不是被勉强留下的,

你们仍然是活在我所爱的里面。

这也对今天的我说话。

很多时候,我们会用环境来定义自己:

• 顺利时,觉得自己被祝福

• 受限时,觉得自己只是“将就活着”

但《历代志上》提醒我:

我今天站在哪里,不是偶然,

是神分给我的“份”。

我今天还能站得住,不是因为我够好,

而是因为——

我仍然活在祂的爱里。

也许你现在所站的地方并不耀眼,

你的人生阶段并不辉煌,

甚至带着一些“重建中”的痕迹。

但如果这是神给你的,

那这里就不是失败的残余,

而是恩典正在继续的地方。

所以今天,我要学习这样站立:

不是用比较来站,

不是用不甘来站,

而是用信心与安息来站:

站在所赐之地,

活在所爱的里面。

🙏 祷告

主啊,

谢谢你借着《历代志上》提醒我,

我的生命不是偶然留下的,

我所站的地方,是你亲手分给我的产业。

有时候我会用环境否定自己,

用现况怀疑你的心意。

但今天你再一次告诉我:

我不是勉强活着,

我是活在你的爱里。

求你医治我里面的自卑、不安和比较,

教我在你所赐的地界中安息,

在你已经给我的爱里站稳。

让我这一生,

不是一直想换位置,

而是忠心地站在你给我的地方,

直到你自己的旨意成全。

奉主耶稣的名祷告,

阿们。

🌿 Standing in the Land God Has Given, Living in the Love He Has Shown
📅 Date: January 22, 2026

📖 Scripture:

“To you I will give the land of Canaan as the portion of your inheritance.” (1 Chronicles 16:18)
“…the LORD… took pleasure in me and chose me…” (1 Chronicles 28:4)

✨ Devotion

First Chronicles was not written to a nation that was strong, victorious, and flourishing.
It was written to a people who had failed, been exiled, and were now in the process of rebuilding.

When they returned to Jerusalem, what they saw was:
• Broken walls
• Desolate land
• A very small and fragile beginning

Deep in their hearts, they were probably asking:

Are we still God’s people?
Is this land really given to us by God?
Or are we just a small group who barely survived?

In such a context, First Chronicles does not rush to talk about what they should do.
Instead, through long genealogies, God’s choosing, and God’s promises, it keeps returning to a more fundamental question:

Who are you? Where are you standing? To whom do you belong?

God says, “I will give you the land of Canaan as your inheritance.”
An inheritance is not something they fought their way back to.
It is not something they earned.
It is something God is still willing to give.

In other words:

They were not merely standing on the leftover remains of a ruined land.
They were still standing on the land God had given.

And when David looked back on his life, he said:

“God took pleasure in me and chose me.”

For the generation that returned from exile, these words were a deep comfort.
Because it was so easy for them to think:

We have failed. Is God only leaving us here reluctantly?

But through First Chronicles, God tells them:

You are not people who are barely tolerated.
You are still a people who live in My love.

This also speaks to me today.

So often, we define ourselves by our circumstances:
• When things go well, we feel blessed.
• When we are limited, we feel we are just “getting by.”

But First Chronicles reminds me:

Where I stand today is not an accident.
It is the “portion” God has assigned to me.
And the reason I can still stand is not because I am good enough,
but because—
I am still living in His love.

Perhaps the place you are standing in now is not impressive.
Perhaps this season of your life does not look glorious.
Perhaps it even carries the marks of “rebuilding.”

But if this place is given by God,
then it is not the leftover of failure—
it is the place where grace is still continuing its work.

So today, I want to learn to stand like this:

Not standing in comparison,
Not standing in resentment,
But standing in faith and rest:
Standing in the land God has given,
Living in the love He has shown.

🙏 Prayer

Lord,
Thank You for reminding me through First Chronicles
that my life is not something that is merely left over by accident,
and that the place where I stand is a portion You Yourself have given.

Sometimes I deny myself because of my circumstances,
and doubt Your heart because of what I see.
But today You tell me again:
I am not merely surviving—
I am living in Your love.

Heal the insecurity, anxiety, and comparison in my heart.
Teach me to rest in the boundaries You have given me,
and to stand firm in the love You have already shown me.

May my whole life
not be spent trying to change my position,
but faithfully standing in the place You have assigned to me,
until Your will is fully accomplished.

In the name of the Lord Jesus,
Amen.
