吃、喝、享受主是一件日常生活的事,好比我们肉身的吃、喝、享受,必须要定时定量,不能太过或不及。我们都知道,要有健康的身体,最好是少量多餐,并且餐餐不能十分饱,只能吃八分,同时越晚要吃得越少。今天我们呼求主名、祷读主话也是这样,每天一早就要花时间读主的话;但是也不必读太多,并且要边读边呼求、祷告。
我一得救就得帮助,要一年读经一遍。这是很好的实行,我也带大家操练这样作。这不是没有益处,但是大体却只叫人得着知识,并不让人享受。有时读得太多,头昏眼花,没有什么生命供应。现在我们找出一个很便当的路:只要花十分钟,好好祷读两节圣经。每早晨大家都很忙,上班的上班,上学的上学。但虽然没有时间,还是能拨出十分钟,好好祷读两节圣经。这一祷读了,享受就绰绰有余。
很奇妙,有这样的十分钟和没有这样的十分钟,对于我们这一天的生活差别很大。没有这个,一天不象样;一有祷读,加上呼求主名,整个人就两样了,该发脾气的不发脾气,该着急的不着急了,得胜就很自然。
所以每天早晨,我们起来的头一件事就是享受主;从这里开始,我们就能操练活在灵中,操练照着灵而行。这样,自然而然我们里面就充满灵;有需要时,外面也得着充溢,得着圣灵浇灌,我们也就能放胆对人传讲主耶稣,并且不象从前老生常谈,乃是满有智慧,能打动人。

The Excellent Way of Practice (1) — 1 Tim 4:8
Eating, drinking, and enjoying the Lord is a matter of daily life, just like our physical eating, drinking and enjoying — it must be regular and measured, neither excessive nor insufficient. We all know that to have a healthy body, it’s best to eat small meals frequently, and each meal should not be completely full but only eighty percent full; at the same time, the later it gets, the less we should eat. Today our calling on the Lord’s name and pray-reading the Lord’s word is the same — every morning we need to spend time reading the Lord’s word; but we also don’t need to read too much, and we should call and pray as we read.
As soon as I was saved, I received help to read through the Bible once a year. This is a very good practice, and I also led everyone to practice doing this. This is not without benefit, but generally it only gives people knowledge and doesn’t allow people to enjoy. Sometimes when we read too much, our head spins and our eyes blur, and there is no life supply. Now we have found a very convenient way: just spend ten minutes to pray-read two verses of the Bible properly. Every morning everyone is very busy – some needs to go to work, some to school. But even though there is no time, we can still set aside ten minutes to pray-read two verses of the Bible properly. Once we pray-read like this, the enjoyment is more than sufficient.
It is very wonderful — having such ten minutes versus not having such ten minutes makes a great difference in our life for that day. Without this, the whole day doesn’t go well; once we have pray-reading, plus calling on the Lord’s name, our whole person becomes different — we don’t lose our temper when we should lose it, we don’t become anxious when we should be anxious, and victory comes very naturally.
So every morning, the first thing we do when we get up is to enjoy the Lord; starting from here, we can practice living in the spirit and practice walking according to the spirit. In this way, naturally we are filled with the Spirit within; when there is a need, we also receive the overflow outwardly, we receive the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and we are also able to speak boldly to people about the Lord Jesus — not like before with the same old talk, but full of wisdom and able to touch people.
