上帝令人敬畏！

上帝令人敬畏！
聖經閱讀：創世記1:1-31 現代中譯本|合和本
2013年4月18日(四)

每次讀到創世記第1章，我就感到很興奮！為什麼呢？因為當我讀這些經節時，我就體會到上帝真是令人敬畏！ 　上帝創造了這麼多美好的事物——天空、大地、植物、太陽、月亮、星星、動物、以及人類，而為什麼上帝要創造這些東西呢？上帝創造這個世界是為了祂自己嗎？不，上帝創造這一切事物是為了我們。 　每當想到上帝是為了我才創造這些事物，我就想要讚美祂。詩篇第136篇的作者必定也有同樣的感受，這首詩的作者這樣起頭：「感謝上帝因為祂是美善」，接著他繼續列出一些上帝的創造。每一次當作者列出一樣上帝的創造時，他就會加上這句話：「祂的慈愛永遠長存」。因為上帝愛我們，所以祂為我們創造這一切美好的事物！ 　上帝是如此令人敬畏！今天就花時間感謝讚美祂。—JK 「他憑自己的智慧創造諸天；他的慈愛永遠長存。他在深水上面鋪張大地；他的慈愛永遠長存。」 詩篇136:5-6 禱告：天父，祢為我創造了這麼多美好的事物，讓我享受其中，我要感謝讚美祢。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (KCC譯/台南聖教會團契)

God is Awesome!
Bible Reading: Genesis 1:1-31
Thursday, April 18, 2013

Every time I read Genesis, chapter 1, I get excited! Why? Because when I read these verses, I realize that God is awesome. 　God made so many wonderful things — the sky, land, plants, the sun, moon and stars, animals and people. But why did God make these things? Did God make the world for Himself? No, God made all these things for us. 　When I think about God making all these things for me, I want to praise Him. That’s how the writer of Psalm 136 must have felt. He begins this psalm by saying, “Praise the Lord because he is good.” Then he continues to list some of the things God made. Each time the writer lists something that God made, he adds, “His faithful love will last forever.” God made all these wonderful things for us because He loves us! 　God is so awesome! Take time today to thank Him and praise Him. —JK “Praise the one who used wisdom to make the skies! His faithful love will last forever. He spread the land over the sea. His faithful love will last forever.” Psalm 136:5-6 PRAYER: Heavenly Father, You have made so many wonderful things for me to enjoy. I praise You and thank You. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
