專注於上帝

專注於上帝
聖經閱讀：詩篇46:1-11 現代中譯本|合和本
2013年8月18日(日)

你是否曾經在十二月到一個忙碌的購物中心裡面呢？你大概會被四處搶購的人潮包圍，其中有些人脾氣暴躁，那裡很吵雜、也很混亂。 　有時候，我們的生命就像一個購物中心；我們很忙碌，被每天的例行工作和問題所淹沒，而沒有時間專注於跟上帝的關係。 　當這種情況發生時，我們就必須離開忙碌的生活，然後花時間跟上帝在一起。在今天經文的第10節，上帝對以色列人說：「要停止戰爭，承認我是上帝。我在萬國被尊崇；我在地上受敬奉。」 　如果我們真的想要得到上帝的引導和智慧，我們就必須遠離讓我們分心的世界，並且專注於上帝和祂的話語。 　今天就花時間專注於上帝，祂會祝福你，並賜給你安慰和平安。—AD 「上帝是我們的避難所和力量，是我們患難中隨時的幫助。」 詩篇46:1 禱告：天父，今天我願花時間跟祢在一起，請幫助我專注於祢。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (林煜茹譯)

Focus on God
Bible Reading: Psalm 46:1-11
Sunday, August 18, 2013

Have you ever been in a busy shopping mall in December? You were probably surrounded by people rushing everywhere. Some of these people were grumpy. There was lots of noise and confusion. 　Sometimes our lives are like a shopping mall. We are busy and overwhelmed by our daily routine and problems. We don’t have time to focus on our relationship with God. 　When that happens, we need to withdraw from our busy lives and take time to be with God. In verse 10 of our Bible Reading today, God said to the Israelites, “Stop fighting and know that I am God...I am the one who controls the world.” 　If we truly want to receive God’s guidance and wisdom, we need to get away from the distractions of the world and pay attention to God and His Word. 　Take time to focus on God today. He will bless you and give you comfort and peace. —AD “God is our protection and source of strength. He is always ready to help us in time of trouble.” Psalm 46:1 PRAYER: Heavenly Father, I want to spend some time with You today. Help me to focus on You. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
