6月19日清晨甘露


六月十九日

他们就都被圣灵充满……(徒24

若我们今日都被圣灵充满,我们的灵福必然丰富而充盈。圣灵充满的果效是不可能加以估计的。生命、安慰、光明、清洁、能力、平安和其他宝贵的福份都与圣灵的充满是分不开的。圣灵像圣油一样,他膏了信徒的头,分别他使他成爲君尊的祭司,幷且施恩于他,叫他能合宜的执行他的职务。他像清洁的水一样,从罪里把我们洗净,使我们分别爲圣,进入圣洁的地步,幷在我们心中使我们愿意作主所喜欢的事。

他像光一样,在起初的时候叫我们知道我们失丧之时的苦况,幷且现在在我们里面把主耶稣启示给我们,指引我们走正真的路,用他天上的亮光光照我们,我们不再在黑暗之中,乃在主的光明之中了。他像火一样,除净我们的渣滓,燃起我们成圣的性情;他是献祭的火,使我们整个的生命献给神当作活祭。他像天露一样,除去我们的贫瘠使我们肥活起来。愿他在清晨的时候自天下降!每天开始时若有清晨的甘露是最美好最甜蜜的。他像鸽一样,用平安之爱的双翼覆庇他的教会和信他的人;

他是一位安慰者,他扫除那些使他所爱之人失去平安的忧虑和疑惑;他降在被选之人的身上像在约旦河边降在主身上一样。他见证他们是神的儿女,幷赐他们顺服的心,因此得以呼叫阿爸父。他也像风一样,把生命的气息带给了人,凡他所吹到的地方,就借着苏醒的能力使人的灵性蓬勃起来,幷保持下去。愿神使我们今天幷天天感到有他同在。

“And
they were all filled with the Holy Ghost.” — Acts 2:4

Rich were the blessings of this day if all of us were filled with the
Holy Ghost. The consequences of this sacred filling of the soul it would be
impossible to overestimate. Life, comfort, light, purity, power, peace; and
many other precious blessings are inseparable from the Spirit’s benign
presence. As sacred oil, He anoints the head of the believer, sets him apart to
the priesthood of saints, and gives him grace to execute his office aright. As
the only truly purifying water He cleanses us from the power of sin and
sanctifies us unto holiness, working in us to will and to do of the Lord’s good
pleasure. As the light, He manifested to us at first our lost estate, and now
He reveals the Lord Jesus to us and in us, and guides us in the way of
righteousness. Enlightened by His pure celestial ray, we are no more darkness
but light in the Lord. As fire, He both purges us from dross, and sets our
consecrated nature on a blaze. He is the sacrificial flame by which we are
enabled to offer our whole souls as a living sacrifice unto God. As heavenly
dew, He removes our barrenness and fertilizes our lives. O that He would drop
from above upon us at this early hour! Such morning dew would be a sweet
commencement for the day. As the dove, with wings of peaceful love He broods
over His Church and over the souls of believers, and as a Comforter He dispels
the cares and doubts which mar the peace of His beloved. He descends upon the
chosen as upon the Lord in Jordan, and bears witness to their sonship by
working in them a filial spirit by which they cry Abba, Father. As the wind, He
brings the breath of life to men; blowing where He listeth He performs the
quickening operations by which the spiritual creation is animated and
sustained. Would to God, that we might feel His presence this day and every
day.
