因为国度全是你的
历代志上二十九章10至13节
10所以，大卫在会众面前称颂耶和华说：耶和华─我们的父，以色列的神是应当称颂，直到永永远远的！
11耶和华啊，尊大、能力、荣耀、强胜、威严都是你的；凡天上地下的都是你的；国度也是你的，并且你为至高，为万有之首。
12丰富尊荣都从你而来，你也治理万物。在你手里有大能大力，使人尊大强盛都出于你。
13我们的神啊，现在我们称谢你，赞美你荣耀之名！
信息分享
笔者从别人的省思中得到不少启迪，希望在一连三天的查经中剖析这句结语的意思：
基督徒必须：
1. 遵从神的旨意。
2. 信靠神的能力。
3. 关心神的荣耀。
遵从神的旨意
「因为国度全是你的」乃是一句信仰宣言；说出这句话的人，乃是承认神是他的王，他是活在神的管治之下。基督同样对我们发出这个要求：「你们若爱我，就必遵守我的命令。」（约十四15）
当我们说出这句话时，我们同时是承认基督是王和我们的主，祂掌有我们生命的主权。虽然此刻祂还不是全世界的王，但终有一日，当祂再来的时候，祂要作全地的王；而此刻，祂已在我们心中作王。
我们若要遵从神的旨意，就必须天天寻求祂的旨意。祂已经在祂的话语中显明祂的旨意；因此，我们若要明白祂的旨意，就必须多读圣经，否则便只会沦为空谈。
我们需要圣灵透过神话语的光照，使我们明白神的旨意。保罗在歌罗西书一章9节为信徒祈求，愿他们在一切属灵的智慧悟性上，满心知道神的旨意。唯有我们勤读圣经，让神的话语来引导我们的生活行事，我们才能遵行神的旨意。
「因为国度全是你的。你是我的王。愿我能明白你为我所定的纯全旨意，并且乐于去遵行。」
「因为国度全是你的。」
FOR THINE IS THE KINGDOM
1 Chronicles 29:10-13
10 Therefore David blessed the LORD before all the assembly; and David said:
“ Blessed are You, LORD God of Israel, our Father, forever and ever.
11 Yours, O LORD, is the greatness,
The power and the glory,
The victory and the majesty;
For all that is in heaven and in earth is Yours;
Yours is the kingdom, O LORD,
And You are exalted as head over all.
12 Both riches and honor come from You,
And You reign over all.
In Your hand is power and might;
In Your hand it is to make great
And to give strength to all.
13 “Now therefore, our God,
We thank You
And praise Your glorious name.
Message
An outline for these final words, which I have come to appreciate, originated with someone else. May we look at it together for today and the next two days. Here it is:
A Christian should be:
1. Controlled by the will of God.
2. Confident in the power of God.
3. Concerned for the glory of God.
CONTROLLED BY THE WILL OF GOD
Thine is the kingdom is a statement of belief. It is a recognition of the authority under which we live. This is what Christ asks of us - "If you love me, you will obey what I command." (Jn 14:15)
In saying these words we are declaring the Kingship and the Lordship of Christ. We are stating that although He is not yet King of all the world, as one day He will be, He is King in our hearts now.
If we want to be controlled by the will of God, then we must discover day by day what that will is. His will is revealed in His Word. Therefore the only way to discover His will is to spend time in His Word. We cannot do the will of God unless we know what that will is.
Our need then is the enlightenment which the Spirit of God can give through the Word of God. Paul prayed for the Colossians (1:9) that God would fill them with the knowledge of His will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding. This comes about as we read the Word of God, allowing Him to apply what we read to our daily lives.
Thine is the Kingdom. You are my king. May I always do those things which are in your perfect will for me! A Christian should be controlled by the will of God.
THINE IS THE KINGDOM.
