【诗110:3】当你掌权的日子（或作“行军的日子”），你的民要以圣洁的妆饰为衣（或作“以圣洁为妆饰”），甘心牺牲自己；你的民多如清晨的甘露（或作“你少年时光耀如清晨的甘露”）。【Psa110:3】Your troops will be willing on your day of battle. Arrayed in holy splendor, your young men will come to you like dew from the morning’s womb.

这节经文出自诗篇110篇，是一篇带给人盼望的弥赛亚诗篇，与启示录中关于得胜者的应许交相呼应，使人看到基督得胜复活升天、被高举坐在父神右边之后，所开启的救恩历史与教会时代。This passage comes from Psalm 110, a Messianic psalm that brings hope. It resonates with the promises concerning the overcomers in Revelation, helping us to see the unfolding of salvation history and the age of the Church that began with Christ’s victorious resurrection and ascension, when he was exalted and seated at the right hand of God the Father.

这里的“掌权”意指基督已经得胜死亡权势并掌权，基督的得胜首先在十字架与复活上决定性地完成了（胜过罪恶、死亡与撒旦的头）；而升天之后，祂作为君王，借着教会，基督的军队在地上进行属灵争战，不断拓展祂的国度。Here, “ruling” means that Christ has already conquered the power of death and reigns as King. His victory was decisively accomplished through the cross and resurrection, when he overcame sin, death and crushed the head of Satan. After his ascension, he reigns as King, and through the Church, his army, he carries on the spiritual battle on earth and continually extends his kingdom. “你的民……甘心牺牲自己”：基督的军队不是靠世俗的刀枪或强权建立的，而是由一群被基督的爱所感召的子民组成，他们多如清晨的甘露，从神而来，他们穿上“圣洁的妆饰”，过分别为圣不与世俗为伍，公义的生活，“Your troops will be willing on your day of battle.” Christ’s army is not established by worldly weapons or earthly power, but is made up of a people who have been moved by the love of Christ. They are like the dew of the morning, coming from God. They are clothed in “holy splendour”, living lives set apart from the world and marked by righteousness. 出于感恩与顺服，甘心乐意地将自己献上作为活祭，跟随基督去争战，传福音、作见证，最后教会成为得胜的教会，跟基督一同执掌王权，让仇敌做基督身体的脚凳。Out of gratitude and obedience, they willingly offer themselves as living sacrifices, following Christ into battle, proclaiming the gospel and bearing witness to him. In the end, the Church becomes a victorious Church, reigning with Christ and seeing his enemies made a footstool for his feet.

祷告：Prayer：

阿爸天父，荣耀的君王，你是得胜掌权的天地的王，感谢你呼召我们在地上要过敬虔分别为圣的生活，将自己的身体献上当作活的馨香的祭物是讨你所喜悦的，你要把王权赐给尊你旨意行的圣民。Abba, Father, glorious King, you are the victorious King who reigns over heaven and earth. Thank you for calling us to live godly and holy lives here on earth. To offer our bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to you, is our spiritual act of worship. You will give the kingdom to your holy people who honour you and do your will.

圣灵啊，求你此刻就来鉴察我的心，在我的一天当中，有没有将你从我心里抬起来成为我的王，放下自己的判断、计划、自辩，甘心将这一切交出来，顺服你的带领被圣洁的王来掌权。Holy Spirit, please come and search my heart even now. Throughout my day, have I lifted you up in my heart and allowed you to be my King? Help me to lay down my own judgements, plans and self-defence, and willingly surrender them all to you. May I submit to your leading and allow you, my holy King, to reign in my life.

我的心，让我常常思想救主基督在十架上的救恩和得胜，使我心被恩感带着喜乐盼望，不去顺从己欲，May I continually set my heart and mind on the salvation and victory of my Saviour Christ upon the cross. May my heart be moved by your grace and filled with joy and hope, rather than following my own desires. 用生命去影响生命，成为滋润他人祝福别人的管道和肢体们一同摆上服事，成为地上得胜的教会，荣耀神的名。奉主耶稣基督圣名祷告，阿门。Help me to influence lives through the life you have given me, becoming a channel of refreshment and blessing to others. May I serve together with my brothers and sisters, offering ourselves wholeheartedly, and may we become a victorious Church on earth, bringing glory to the name of God. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen.
