【双语灵修】从为奴到自由FROM BONDAge TO FREEDOM

「那时你要谨慎，免得你忘记将你从埃及为奴之家领出来的耶和华。」-申 6:12

某天早上，Sara开车到离她家几哩路的杂货店，她怀着愉快的心情收听收音机上的基督教音乐电台。当时正播着她最喜爱的其中一首歌曲「当我思想主时」，她便跟着哼唱。这时泪水突然流到她的面颊，她便把车子停在路旁，想起神在她生命中所作的工时，Sara感受到的喜乐，令她禁不住流出快乐的泪水来。

Sara是一个正在成长中的耶稣跟随者，可是那时她开始再接触那些仍然过着忙碌刺激生活的旧朋友，她没有谨慎记着神为她所做的事。神已经带领她脱离她不想重拾的生活方式了，那天收音机播放的那首诗歌提醒了Sara，神已经完全改变了她的生命，祂已经把Sara从她昔日犯罪的生活中释放出来了。

Sara的新生命对她和她的家人都很重要。她被圣灵充满，而神亦为她的一生定下了计划。她希望能专心致志地继续在网上修读课程，来取得一个学士学位，并且一生事奉神。

一首钟爱的诗歌、一段经文、或一次灵里的相遇，都可以帮助我们重返正轨。这时，我们便记得，主我们的神借着祂的儿子，拯救了我们，从罪的捆绑中释放我们得自由了！

祷告

全权之神，感谢祢在耶稣里释放了我。求祢帮助我向那些被罪所困，和极需要祢所赐的自由的人，分享在祢里面的生命盼望。奉耶稣祈求，阿们。

祢所赐的自由的人，分享在祢里面的生命盼望。奉耶稣祈求，阿们。

申命记 6:10-19

「耶和华你的神领你进他向你列祖亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各起誓应许给你的地，那里有城邑，又大又美，非你所建造的；有房屋，装满各样美物，非你所装满的；有凿成的水井，非你所凿成的；还有葡萄园、橄榄园，非你所栽种的，你吃了，而且饱

足。那时你要谨慎，免得你忘记将你从埃及地为奴之家领出来的耶和华。你要敬畏耶和华你的神，侍奉他，指着他的名起誓。不可随从别神，就是你们四围国民的神，因为在你们中间的耶和华你神是忌邪的神；唯恐耶和华你神的怒气向你发作，就把你从地上除灭。

「你们不可试探耶和华你们的神，像你们在玛撒那样试探他。要留意遵守耶和华你们神所吩咐的诫命、法度、律例。耶和华眼中看为正、看为善的，你都要遵行，使你可以享福，并可以进去得耶和华向你列祖起誓应许的那美地，照耶和华所说的，从你面前撵出你的一切仇敌。

FROM BONDAge TO FREEDOM

Be careful that you do not forget the Lord, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.                                         —Deuteronomy 6:12

On a weekday morning, Sara drove to the grocery store a few miles from her home. She was feeling good and listening to a Christian music station on the radio. She began to sing when one of her favorite songs came on: “When I Think about the Lord.” Suddenly tears began rolling down her cheeks, and she pulled the car over to the roadside. Sara was rejoicing with tears of joy as she remembered what God had done in her life.

Sara was a growing follower of Jesus, but at that time she had begun going out again with old friends who were still living in the fast lane. She had not been careful in remembering what God had done for her. God had brought her out of a lifestyle she did not want to return to. The song on the radio that day reminded Sara that God had turned her life around. He had freed Sara from her old life of sin.

Sara’s new life was essential to her and her family. She was filled with the Spirit, and God had a plan for her life. She wanted to stay focused and continue taking online courses to earn a bachelor’s degree and serve God with her life.

A favorite song, Bible passage, or spiritual encounter can help us get back on track when we remember our deliverance from bondage to freedom in the Lord our God, who saves us through his Son, Jesus Christ.

Sovereign God, thank you for setting me free in Jesus. Help me to share the hope of life in you with people who are trapped in sin and need the freedom you offer. In Jesus, Amen.
