贺永花：耶和华为他们攻击我们了

证道经文：

[出埃及记 14:19] 在以色列营前行走 神的使者、转到他们后边去、云柱也从他们前边转到他们后边立住。

[出埃及记 14:20] 在埃及营和以色列营中间有云柱、一边黑暗、一边发光、终夜两下不得相近。

[出埃及记 14:21] 摩西向海伸杖、耶和华便用大东风、使海水一夜退去、水便分开、海就成了干地。

[出埃及记 14:22] 以色列人下海中走干地、水在他们的左右作了墙垣。

[出埃及记 14:23] 埃及人追赶他们、法老一切的马匹、车辆、和马兵、都跟着下到海中。

[出埃及记 14:24] 到了晨更的时候、耶和华从云火柱中向埃及的军兵观看、使埃及的军兵混乱了。

[出埃及记 14:25] 又使他们的车轮脱落、难以行走、以致埃及人说、我们从以色列人面前逃跑吧、因耶和华为他们攻击我们了。

证道内容：

亲爱的弟兄姐妹们：

今天是2020年8月9日，是我们英文团契一起“云敬拜”的第二十八个主日， 盼望大家将11:30-12:30的时间预留出来，我们一起敬拜。

华理克牧师提醒我们：“当你一遍又一遍地思考一个问题时，这就是忧虑。 当你一遍又一遍地思考上帝的话语时，那就是默想。 如果你知道如何忧虑，你已经知道如何默想了！ 你只需要把你的注意力从你的问题转向圣经经文。 你越是默想上帝的话，你就越少去忧虑。”

愿我们把花在忧虑上的时间改为默想神的话语！

贺永花牧师

Dear brothers and sisters,

Today is August, 9th , 2020, the twenty-eighth “cloud worship” Sunday with the English fellowship. We hope everyone would reserve the time from 11: 30 to 12: 30 to worship our God together.

“When you think about a problem over and over in your mind, that’s called worry. When you think about God’s Word over and over in your ind, that’s meditation. If you know how to worry, you already know how to meditate! You just need to switch your attention from your problems to Bible verses. The More you meditate on God’s Word, the less you will have to worry about.” (Rick Warren, The Purpose Driven Life: What On Earth Am I Here For?, Grand Rapids, Michigan, 2002,90)

May we switch our attention from our problems to meditate on God’s word!

Pastor Rachel

Jesus Calling – August 9

Sarah Young

WEAR MY ROBE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS with ease. I custom-made it for you, to cover you from head to toe. The price I paid for this covering was astronomical— My own blood. You could never purchase such a royal garment, no matter how hard you worked. Sometimes you forget that My righteousness is a gift, and you feel ill at ease in your regal robe. I weep when I see you squirming under the velvety fabric, as if it were made of scratchy sackcloth.

I want you to trust Me enough to realize your privileged position in My kingdom. Relax in the luxuriant folds of your magnificent robe. Keep your eyes on Me, as you practice walking in this garment of righteousness. When your behavior is unfitting for one in My kingdom, do not try to throw off your royal robe. Instead, throw off the unrighteous behavior. Then you will be able to feel at ease in this glorious garment, enjoying the gift I fashioned for you before the foundation of the world.

I delight greatly in the LORD;

my soul rejoices in my God.

For he has clothed me with garments of salvation

and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness,

as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest,

and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

ISAIAH 61 : 10

God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 21

You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful

desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness

and holiness.

EPHESIANS 4 : 22 – 24

******************************************************************

Lord's Prayer:

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.

Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us today our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.

For Yours is the kingdom, the power and the glory forever.

Amen.
