正確的道路

正確的道路
聖經閱讀：詩篇1:1-6 現代中譯本|合和本
2013年2月19日(二)

當我十幾歲時，我參加教會的主日學，有一個禮拜天老師問我們：「有誰想要被上帝祝福？」我們都把手舉起來。然後老師又問：「有誰想要在白天和晚上不停地想著上帝的教導？」，這聽起來不怎麼有趣，所以我們都沒有舉手。 　那天，老師鼓勵我們將詩篇第1篇背起來，他說這詩篇是有關如何選擇正確朋友，以及如何走在人生正確道路上的教導。 　我在那個班級上課，這大約是50年前的事了，那時我們的誘惑比較少，因為還沒有藥物濫用的問題，也沒有身分盜用或是網路色情。但是今天我們有太多壞事發生在這個世界，我們要面對更多的誘惑，所以用詩篇第1篇來引導我們選擇正確的道路，就格外重要了。 　請花時間來研讀詩篇第1篇，並且要像那棵「移植溪水邊的果樹」(第3a節)。—AS 「不聽從惡人的計謀，不跟隨罪人的腳步，不與侮慢上帝之徒同夥，這樣的人才算真正有福。」 詩篇1:1 禱告：親愛的上帝，請幫助我永遠與祢同行。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (SDL譯/台南聖教會英語團契)

The Right Path
Bible Reading: Psalm 1:1-6
Tuesday, February 19, 2013

When I was a teenager, I was part of a class at my church. One Sunday the teacher asked us, “Who wants to be blessed by God?” We all raised our hands. Then he asked us, “Who wants to think about God’s teachings day and night?” That didn’t sound like much fun, so none of us raised our hands. 　That day our teacher encouraged us to memorize Psalm 1. He said that this psalm was about choosing the right friends and staying on the right path in life. 　I was in that class about 50 years ago. Back then we had fewer temptations because there were no drug problems, identity theft or Internet pornography. But today we have many bad things happening in the world. We face more temptations. Psalm 1 is even more important today to guide us in choosing the right path. 　Take time to study Psalm 1 and be like the “tree planted by a stream” (verse 3a). —AS “Great blessings belong to those who don’t listen to evil advice, who don’t live like sinners, and who don’t join those who make fun of God.” Psalm 1:1 PRAYER: Dear God, please help me to always walk with You. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
