經文：「神阿，祢是我的王。求祢出令，使雅各得勝。」（詩44:4） 親愛的讀者，你需要知道，當你在恩典中成長的時候，會遭遇到許多仇敵；但是這些仇敵都是主的戰利品。 所以你無須懼怕，當你一碰他們，他們就會在你面前逃跑。神已經允許將他們交在你的手裡。你應當剛強，勇敢，不懼怕，也不驚慌！大能的勇士阿，神是與你同在的；你是有能力的，因為大能的神已與你同在，向前奪取勝利吧！ 甚麼時候仇敵前來圍困你，你應當奪取勝利！甚麼時候你的肉體軟弱了，你應當仰望神好得勝！ 你應當知道：在主耶穌裡你是有份的，因為祂不只是替自己得勝，而是替眾信徒得勝；你要記得，當祂得勝的時候，你是在祂裡面，所以在祂得勝的時候，你也已經得勝。 你應當承認：勝利已經屬於你了，所以起來收集戰利品罷。不論亞衲族人，不論堅固城，都不足以威嚇你。你是一支戰勝的軍隊，就在主的勝利中奪取你的一份吧。--梅爾 Meyer 我們既是君王的孩子，該如何才能增加我們尊貴元首的榮譽？究竟是不敢索取我們的權利，懷疑這些權利是否屬於我們；還是堅持我們皇室的特權，大膽前去索取我們繼承的權利？ 新譯｜荒漠甘泉讀書會

Scripture: "Thou art my king, O God: Command deliverance (victories, margin) for Jacob" (Ps. 44:4 RV). Here is no foe to your growth in grace, no enemy in your Christian work, which was not included in your Savior's conquests. You need not be afraid of them. When you touch them, they will flee before you. God has promised to deliver them up before you. Only be strong and very courageous! Fear not, nor be dismayed! The Lord is with you, O mighty men of valor--mighty because one with the Mightiest. Claim victory! Whenever your enemies close in upon you, claim victory! Whenever heart and flesh fail, look up and claim VICTORY! Be sure that you have a share in that triumph which Jesus won, not for Himself alone, but for us all; remember that you were in Him when He won it, and claim victory! Reckon that it is yours, and gather spoil. Neither the Anakim nor fenced cities need daunt or abash you. You are one of the conquering legion. Claim your share in the Savior's victory.--Joshua, by Meyer We are children of the King. In which way do we most honor our Divine Sovereign, by failing to claim our rights and even doubting whether they belong to us, or by asserting our privilege as children of the Royal Family and demanding the rights which belong to our heirship? ｜ Mrs. Charles Cowman
