聖經閱讀：歷代志下7:12-22 現代中譯本|合和本
2013年10月31日(四)
今天的經文中，上帝對所羅門王說話。上帝說，如果人們停止敬拜祂，祂就會讓可怕的事發生在他們身上──農作物毁壞、降瘟疫、以及不下雨。但是上帝又說，如果人們願意信靠祂，祂就會祝福他們。現今有些人認為，美國已經停止尋求主面了，有很多人已經背離了上帝，不再遵從祂的話語。如果這是真的，我們可以做什麼來將美國帶回到上帝的身邊呢？ 今天經文的第14節中，上帝說我們可以做四件事情，不管我們是住在美國或是其他國家，這些都是要去做的重要事情。首先，我們必須謙卑並了解上帝是多麼大有能力。其次，我們必須禱告請求上帝的赦免。第三，我們必須藉著讀經和禱告來尋求上帝。第四，我們必須從罪中悔改，並且為上帝而活。如果人們這麼做的話，上帝將會「赦免他們的罪，重新使他們的土地繁榮起來」(第14節) 。 今天，就決定順服並事奉上帝吧！—DF 「如果你像你父親大衛一樣忠心事奉我」 歷代志下 7:17a
禱告：天上的父，我決定永遠順服祢、事奉祢。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

God’s Face (4)
Bible Reading: 2 Chronicles 7:12-22

In our Bible Reading today, God is talking to King Solomon. God says that if people stop worshiping Him, He will make terrible things happen to them — destruction of crops, sicknesses and no rain. But then God says that if people will trust in Him, He will bless them. Today some people think that America has stopped seeking God’s face. Many people have turned away from God and obeying His Word. If this is true, what can we do to bring America back to God? In verse 14 of our Bible Reading, God says that we can do four things. These are important things to do whether we live in America or some other country. First, we need to be humble and realize how powerful God is. Second, we need to pray and ask for forgiveness. Third, we need to seek God through prayer and Bible reading. Fourth, we need to turn from our sin and live for God. If people do these things, God will “forgive their sin and heal their land” (verse 14). Choose to obey and serve God today! —DF “You must serve me with a pure and honest heart.” 2 Chronicles 7:17a
PRAYER: Heavenly Father, I choose to always obey and serve You. In Jesus’ name. Amen. |
