以聖潔裝飾為開始 In the Splendor of God’s Holiness

　　響應豐收佈道團每年向教會於1月1日分別為聖，到高處為香港祝福禱告的呼籲，這已成為我們教會每年歲首，在高處向我們的上主獻祭，高舉祂的名在一切權柄之上，並為各牧區牧積極上山祝福香港，帶領弟兄姊妹事奉神好感恩！

　　繼1月1日高山禱告之後，2021年第一個聯合慶典於1月3日舉行，於是進行了網上聯合的敬拜，疫情不能限制我們合一的心，1月1日多間教會聯合祝福香港，是愛香港的行動，1月3日聯合慶典，代表著新曙光擁抱和學習愛不同語言及民族。

　　「我要向山舉目，我的幫助從何而來？我的幫助從造天地的耶和華而來。」 (詩篇121) 一年的開始提醒我們真正的幫助是從神而來。誰能幫助我們解決困難？誰帶領我們離開惡行？誰幫助我們爭戰得勝？神是我們的幫助者，因為祂是創天造地的主，掌管萬有，滿有能力，救贖我們，守約施慈愛，永遠愛我們。有神與我地同行，真不用懼怕甚麼。我們禱告不要讓任何事情或處境叫我們與神的愛隔絕，這愛是在我們主耶穌基督裡的（羅8:39）。

　　弟兄姊妹們，我們向山舉目向神要得著能力，沒有神話語，怎得力呢？沒有敬拜神，又怎能得力呢？ 神的話語滿有榮耀的能力，我們每一天讀神的話。 「要將耶和華的名所當得的榮耀歸給他，以聖潔的妝飾敬拜耶和華」(詩29:2)， 每天用神話語的能力來煉淨我們的靈與魂，得著光照，被神轉化生命，能以聖潔的裝飾敬拜耶和華我們的神。在此以詩篇29:11祝福各位弟兄姊妹。

「耶和華必賜力量給他的百姓，耶和華必賜平安的福給他的百姓。」

“I lift up my eyes to the hills, where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.”

(Psalm 121) The beginning of the year reminds us that the real help is from God. Who can solve our difficulties? Who lead us leave evil deed? Who helps us to win the battle? God is our helper because he is the creator of heaven and earth, in charge of all things, full of power, redeeming us, covenant keeper and love giver, loving us forever. With God's accompany, there is nothing to afraid of. We must pray that not to allow any event or situation to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Roman 8:39)
