最大的需要

最大的需要
聖經閱讀：詩篇73:23-28 現代中譯本|合和本
2013年2月11日(一)

你和我最需要的是什麼呢？有些人可能會說，我們最需要空氣，因為如果沒有空氣我們會死；其他人可能會回答說，我們最需要健康或是愛。 　其實我們最大的需要是，透過耶穌與上帝有一個正確的關係，這是讓我們擁有永生應許的唯一方法；與上帝有正確的關係同時可以幫助我們承受世上的苦難。 　在第25節，這詩篇的作者說：「除你之外，在天上我還有誰呢？既有了你，在地上我還要誰呢？」如果我們親近上帝並且跟祂有正確的關係，我們對其他人也會有更多的愛和寬恕。 　當和上帝有深厚的關係時，我們就會成為堅強的基督徒，生活中的每一個部分都會專注在上帝和祂為我們準備的計畫上。今天你最大的需要就是上帝！ —BL 「至於我，我能夠親近上帝多麼好啊！我以至高的上主作我的避難所；我要宣揚他一切的作為。」 詩篇73:28 禱告：天父，今天我要親近祢，幫助我專注於祢和耶穌。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (KCC譯/台南聖教會英語團契)

The Greatest Need
Bible Reading: Psalm 73:23-28
Monday, February 11, 2013

What do you and I need the most? Some people might say that we need air the most because we will die without air. Other people might answer that we need to have good health or love. 　But our greatest need is to have a right relationship with God through Jesus. This is the only way we can have the promise of eternal life. And having the right relationship with God helps us endure suffering here on earth. 　In verse 25, the writer of this psalm says, “In heaven, God, I have only you. And if I am with you, what on earth could I want?” If we are close to God and have a right relationship with Him, we will have more love and forgiveness for other people. 　When we have a deep relationship with God, we will be strong Christians. Every part of our lives will be focused on God and His plan for us. Your greatest need today is God! —BL “As for me, all I need is to be close to God. I have made the Lord God my place of safety. And, God, I will tell about all that you have done.” Psalm 73:28 PRAYER: Heavenly Father, I need to be close to You today. Help me to focus on You and Jesus. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
