早上經文
壓傷的蘆葦,他不折斷;將殘的燈火,他不吹滅;等他施行公理,叫公理得勝。 神所要的祭就是憂傷的靈;神啊,憂傷痛悔的心,你必不輕看。 他醫好傷心的人,裹好他們的傷處。 因為那至高至上、永遠長存名為聖者的如此說:我住在至高至聖的所在,也與心靈痛悔謙卑的人同居;要使謙卑人的靈甦醒,也使痛悔人的心甦醒。我必不永遠相爭,也不長久發怒,恐怕我所造的人與靈性都必發昏。 失喪的,我必尋找;被逐的,我必領回;受傷的,我必纏裹;有病的,我必醫治;只是肥的壯的,我必除滅,也要秉公牧養他們。 所以,你們要把下垂的手、發酸的腿挺起來;也要為自己的腳,把道路修直了,使瘸子不至歪腳,反得痊愈。 對膽怯的人說:你們要剛強,不要懼怕。看哪,你們的神必來報仇,必來施行極大的報應;他必來拯救你們。 經文出自: 馬太福音12章20節;詩篇51篇17節;詩篇147篇3節;以賽亞書57章15至16節;以西結書34章16節;希伯來書12章12至13節;以賽亞書35章4節;

Morning Scripture
A bruised reed He will not break, and smoking flax He will not quench, till He sends forth justice to victory. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, a broken and a contrite heart—these, O God, You will not despise. He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. For thus says the High and Lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: "I dwell in the high and holy place, with him who has a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones. For I will not contend forever, nor will I always be angry; for the spirit would fail before Me, and the souls which I have made." "I will seek what was lost and bring back what was driven away, bind up the broken and strengthen what was sick; but I will destroy the fat and the strong, and feed them in judgment." Therefore strengthen the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees, and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed. Say to those who are fearful-hearted, "Be strong, do not fear! Behold, your God will come with vengeance, with the recompense of God; He will come and save you."
