聖經閱讀:使徒行傳9:1-19 現代中譯本|合和本
2013年2月8日(五)
最近,我有一次停車等紅燈,有一輛老爺小貨車就停在我旁邊,小貨車的駕駛搖下他的車窗,而我也跟著把車窗搖下來。我看見那位中年人綁著馬尾,身上穿了許多洞,還有刺青。 那個人跟我說:「先生,你相信現在上帝還跟人們說話嗎?」我告訴他,我相信。然後他又說:「當我看見你時,上帝告訴我你是一個基督徒。」我們談了一下有關上帝如何知道我們的一切,以及上帝如何跟我們對話。然後,燈號變成綠燈,我們就各奔東西了。 對我來說,這真是一個奇妙的經歷!上帝使用那個人來提醒我,祂揀選各式各樣的人來服事祂。今天的經文告訴我們,上帝揀選憎恨基督徒的掃羅,讓他成為向外邦人傳福音的人。 上帝可以使用任何人來服事祂、榮耀祂。今天,就找一些方法來讓上帝使用你。—RG 「我揀選他來事奉我,要他在外邦人…當中宣揚我的名。」 使徒行傳9:15b
禱告:親愛的主,今天請使用我來服事?。奉耶穌的名,阿們!

God Can Use You
Bible Reading: Acts 9:1-19
Friday, February 8, 2013
Recently I stopped my car at a red light, and a beat-up old pickup stopped beside me. The man driving the pickup lowered his window, so I lowered mine, too. I could see that this middle-aged man had a pony-tail, some body piercings and tattoos. The man said to me, “Sir, do you believe that God speaks to people today?” I told him that I did. Then he said, “When I saw you, God told me that you are a Christian.” We talked for a few seconds about how God knows all about us and communicates with us. Then the light changed to green, and we drove off. That was a wonderful experience for me! God used that man to remind me that He chooses all kinds of people to serve Him. Our Bible Reading for today tells us that God chose Saul, who hated Christians, to be the person to spread the Gospel to Gentiles. God can use all people to serve and honor Him. Look for ways that He can use you today. —RG “I have chosen Saul for an important work. I want him to tell other nations...about me.” Acts 9:15b
PRAYER: Dear Lord, please use me today to serve You. In Jesus’ name. Amen. |
