我最想要的事
聖經閱讀:詩篇27:1-14 現代中譯本|合和本
2013年2月10日(日)



我最想要的事  我是代禱小組中的一員,我收到很多的代禱請求,都是關於人們想要得到的事,像是成功的工作面談、打贏監護權官司、克服財務問題、平安的旅遊,和許多其他的事情。
 在今天的聖經閱讀中,作者說他只想要一件事:「我向上主只求一件事;只有這一件事是我的期望:就是一生一世住在上主的家,在殿宇裏瞻仰他的美善,尋求他的引導。」(第4節),作者唯一渴望的事就是親近上帝。
 我們應該要像這詩篇的作者一樣,我們應該永遠都想要親近上帝,當我們親近上帝時,祂會安慰我們並賜給我們平安去面對財務問題、疾病、甚至是死亡。這些經節並不是在談跟上帝同住在天堂,而是在談我們處在這個罪惡世界裡的生命。
 我希望今天你也想要親近上帝,你要每天讀祂的話語、跟祂說話,並且倚靠祂。—AS
「我遭遇患難的時候,他庇護我;他使我在他的聖幕裏得平安,把我安置在穩固的磐石上。」 詩篇27:5
禱告:親愛的上帝,幫助我時時與祢親近。奉耶穌的名,阿們!

What I Want Most
Bible Reading: Psalm 27:1-14
Sunday, February 10, 2013



What I Want Most  I belong to a prayer chain group. I receive many prayer requests about things that people want — a successful job interview, winning a custody battle, overcoming financial problems, safe travel and many other things.
 In our Bible Reading today, the writer says that he only wants one thing. “I ask only one thing from the Lord. This is what I want most: Let me live in the Lord’s house all my life, enjoying the Lord’s beauty and spending time in his palace” (verse 4). The writer’s one desire was to be near to God.
 We should be like this person. We should always want to be close to God. When we are close to God, He will comfort us and give us peace when we face money problems, bad health or even death. These verses are not talking about living with God in heaven. They are talking about our life here in this sinful world.
 I hope that you want to be near to God today. Read His Word, talk to Him and depend on Him every day. —AS
“He will protect me when I am in danger. He will hide me in his tent. He will take me up to his place of safety.” Psalm 27:5
PRAYER: Dear God, help me to always be close to You. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
