属于上帝
“你们当晓得耶和华是上帝！我们是他造的，也是属他的；我们是他的民，也是他草场的羊。”
诗篇 100:3
如果有一个特别委员会，负责检查你一天中的方方面面，例如你的电子邮件，互联网流量，你如何花钱，你说些什么、想些什么，等等，这是否清楚地说明：耶和华是你的上帝？你一个小时以前的行为，或者一个小时以后的行为，是否符合一个基督徒的标准？
事实上，不管我们像不像基督徒，耶和华都是上帝。我们怎么思量祂，我们怎么对待祂，都不会改变一个事实：祂就是上帝。我们自己的观点丝毫不会改变谁是上帝。可改变的取决于我们的观点和行为，那就是我们是否接受耶和华是我们的神，我们是祂的子民，祂是我们的牧者。
就让那个“特别委员会”来检查你。就让他们发现你一切的缺点和错误，你只要公开承认一件事：“是的，我是个罪人。但是，耶和华是上帝。我选择归向上帝。”
今日祷告：
耶稣，我实在只是一个傻乎乎的小羊，谢谢祢做我的牧者。求祢引导我每一个脚步。阿们。

We Are His
Acknowledge that the Lord is God! He made us, and we are his. We are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
PSALM 100 : 3
If a congressional special committee were to examine every aspect of your day—all your e-mails and Internet traffic, how you spend your money, what you say, what you think about—would it be clear that the Lord is your God? Would your actions from an hour ago, or an hour from now, be in line with someone who follows after Jesus?
The irony here is that whether we act like it or not, the Lord already is God. What we think about him or the way that we treat him has nothing to do with whether or not he is God. Our opinion doesn’t change who the Lord is at his very core. What is changeable, what is subject to our opinion and actions, is whether or not we will acknowledge that the Lord is our God, that we are his people, and that he is our Shepherd.
Go ahead and let that special committee examine you. As they find all the warts and all the flaws, publicly confess this one thing: “Yes, I am a sinner. But the Lord is God, and I choose to belong to him.”
Pray for the Day:
Jesus, I really am just a dumb sheep sometimes. Thank you for being my Shepherd. Guide me today in my every step I take. Amen.
