晨興餧養 林後四16 所以我們不喪膽，反而我們外面的人雖然在毀壞，我們裏面的人卻日日在更新。 箴四18 但義人的途徑好像黎明的光，越照越明，直到日午。 在馬太十三章四十三節，得勝者被比作太陽，在他們父的國裏發光。每早晨太陽都重新升起。我們若要成為得勝者，就是太陽，我們也必須每早晨起來得主復興。箴言四章十八節說，『義人的途徑好像黎明的光，越照越明，直到日午。』我們應當跟隨太陽，每早晨得復興，有新的開始。我們的途徑就好像黎明的光，越照越明，直到日午。我很喜歡保羅在林後四章十六節的用辭—『日日』。基督徒的生活不是僅有一日。我們是日日在更新。這就是說我們必須日復一日得主復興。我們昨晨也許有一次復興，可是今晨我們還需要另一次復興，明晨更需要另一次復興。每一年，我們都需要三百六十五個復興，好叫我們日日都得更新（李常受文集一九八九年第二冊，四三七至四三八頁）。 信息選讀 每一天都更新，並且新而又新〔林後四16〕。我們今天所需要的，就是這種裏面生命中的復興，不是外面的一個舉動或彰顯。神給自然界也有這樣的定律，…隨着日頭的升起，每一天都有新的起頭，都是一次更新。我們基督徒的生活也是這樣，每天早晨都該讓主耶穌，我們的日頭在我們裏面升起，使我們得着更新。 為着配合這事，你們每天早晨最好能彀早起；為要早起，就必須早睡。…早起對基督徒有莫大的益處。每天當太陽升起的時候，就是我們起床和主交通的時候。我們要向主禱告：『主阿，謝謝你，又是一個新的起頭，願這一天是我人生中可記念的一天。』我們這樣一面在主面前有新的奉獻，新的仰望，一面從主有新的領受，得着新的開啟。有了這許多新的』，結果，自然就帶進一個復興。這就是晨晨復興，也就是保羅所說的，日日更新。這樣的更新乃是發生在每天的清晨。我希望這件事在我們中間能好好實行。所有的同工配着長老們，在各地要吹這個號，喚醒眾聖徒，個個早睡早起。一早起來，就先與主有好的接觸。不管別的事情多忙，多重要，都要等到和主接觸之後再去作。 早晨這樣與主的接觸，最好是半小時，最少也該有一刻鐘。這應該是很容易作到的。利未記六章十二節告訴我們：『祭司要每早晨在〔祭壇〕上面燒柴，把燔祭擺列在上面。』這說出我們應當在每個早晨靠着主作我們的贖罪祭，獻上基督為燔祭，好在主面前有一個新的起頭。我們不但要天天這樣作，還要作得有味道，有深度。所以早晨這十五分鐘，不重在禱告祈求，乃重在和主有直接的接觸，對祂說話，也聽祂說話。因此，最好配上幾節聖經，藉着禱讀主話享受主，並被主充滿，這就使我們有新的起頭，新的復興（李常受文集一九八八年第四冊，五○至五二頁）。 參讀：日日在更新，第一至二章；主恢復當前的進展，第二至三章。 WEEK 5 — DAY 2 Morning Nourishment 2 Cor. 4:16 Therefore we do not lose heart; but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day. Prov. 4:18 But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, which shines brighter and brighter until the full day. In Matthew 13:43 the overcomers are likened to the sun shining forth in the kingdom of their Father. The sun rises afresh every morning. If we are to be the overcomers, the sun, we must also rise up every morning to be revived by the Lord… We should follow the sun to be revived and to have a new start every morning [cf. Prov. 4:18]. Our path is like the dawning light that shines more and more until the full day. I like Paul’s expression in 2 Corinthians 4:16—”day by day.” The Christian life does not only have one day. We are being renewed day by day. This means that day after day we have to be revived by the Lord. Yesterday morning we may have had a revival, but this morning we need another one, and tomorrow we need another one. Every year we need three hundred sixty-five revivals to be renewed day by day. (CWWL, 1989, vol. 2, “Being Renewed Day by Day,” p. 351) Today’s Reading Every day we need a renewal, and this renewal has to be refreshed day by day [cf. 2 Cor. 4:16]. What we need today is this kind of renewal in the inner life as opposed to a renewal in outward actions or expression. God has set up a natural law that the rising of the sun affords a new beginning and a fresh renewal every day…The same is true with our Christian life. Every morning we should allow the Lord Jesus, our Sun, to rise up in us so that we can be renewed. In order to achieve this, all of you should rise up early in the morning. But to rise up early, one must go to bed early… Early rising affords tremendous benefits for a Christian. Every morning when the sun rises up, it is time for us to rise up to fellowship with the Lord. We should pray to the Lord, “Thank You, Lord, for a new beginning. May this day be a memorable day in my life.” On the one hand, we have such a fresh consecration and waiting before the Lord; on the other hand, we receive from Him fresh bestowals and enlightenings. With all this freshness, we will naturally have a revival. This is what we call a morning-by-morning revival. It is also what Paul described as the renewing day by day. This renewal happens early every morning. I hope that this matter would be practiced properly among us. All the co-workers with the elders should trumpet this call in all the places, awakening all the saints to go to bed early and rise up early. As soon as we get up, we should have a good touch with the Lord. No matter how busy we are or how important other things are, we must put them aside until we have a touch with the Lord. This touch with the Lord should preferably be for half an hour. At the very least, it should be for fifteen minutes. This should be something very easy for us to do. Leviticus 6:12 tells us that “the priest shall burn wood on it [the altar] every morning, and he shall lay the burnt offering in order upon it.” This indicates that every morning we should offer up Christ as our burnt offering based upon His being our sin offering so that we may have a new beginning. Not only must we do this every day; we must also do it with sweetness and depth. The fifteen minutes in the morning is not mainly for prayer or supplication; rather, it is for a direct touch with the Lord by which we speak to Him and He speaks to us. For this reason, the best way is to spend this time on a few verses so that we may be filled by the Lord through pray-reading His Word in an enjoyable way. In this way we will have a new beginning and a fresh revival.
