早晨面對紛亂的人事物之前,先來到神面前注目瞻仰-3月2日

「早晨以前你要豫備好,...你要上西乃山,在山頂上站在我面前。誰也不可和你一同上去。」-出埃及記34:2-3
間的守望是不可或缺的。

在你面對新的一天之前,你需要先來朝見神;在你面對紛亂的人、事、物之前,你需要先在神面前注目瞻仰。

若一天的起頭是憑著你自己的能力開始的,那你不能奢望這會是個得勝的一天。

你的心需要先和神有親密、安靜獨處的時刻,並且保持著這樣與主來往交通的關係,來面對你每天的生活與工作。

不要先面對任何人,甚至我們的家人,反要先面見耶穌基督,因祂是我們生命中的貴客和永遠的伴侶。

單獨地和祂會面,每天定時地和祂相遇。讓祂敞露的話語成為你生活的諮詢,讓祂掌管你生活中的大事,小事,並一切事。

"Be ready in the morning, and come u ...present thyself there to me in the top of the mount. And no man shall come up with thee" (Exod. 34:2-3).
The morning watch is essential. You must not face the day until you have faced God, nor look into the face of others until you have looked into His.

You cannot expect to be victorious, if the day begins only in your own strength. Face the work of every day with the influence of a few thoughtful, quiet moments with your heart and God. Do not meet other people, even those of your own home, until you have first met the great Guest and honored Companion of your life--Jesus Christ.

Meet Him alone. Meet Him regularly. Meet Him with His open Book of counsel before you; and face the regular and the irregular duties of each day with the influence of His personality definitely controlling your every act.
