聖經閱讀：詩篇56:1-13 現代中譯本|合和本
2013年11月25日(一)

在今天的經文中，作者說他信靠上帝(第4節)。今天，以及接下來的三天，我們要來談一群人的故事，這群人他們信靠上帝來照顧他們。 　1620年，有一群人他們從英國的普利茅斯出發，航向美洲大陸。這些人常被稱為「清教徒」，他們希望能在新的地方找到信仰的自由。共有102位乘客在那艘名叫「五月花」的船上。 　這趟到美洲的旅程非常的艱辛，船上又溼又冷，很多人都病了，而且在他們11月11日抵達陸地之前就有兩個人不幸死亡。這些人願意面對這麼惡劣的環境，為的是可以自由地敬拜上帝。 　全世界有很多人並沒有敬拜上帝的自由，就為這些人代禱，請求上帝帶領他們，讓他們可以親近祂。 —IMJ 「你要記住我的命令：要堅強，要勇敢！不害怕，不沮喪；因為你無論到哪裏，我、上主─你的上帝一定與你同在。」 約書亞記1:9 禱告：上帝，我信靠祢來照顧我，謝謝祢讓我可以敬拜祢。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (尤榮輝譯)

Bible Reading: Psalm 56:1-13
Monday, November 25, 2013

In our Bible Reading today, the writer says that he trusted God (verse 4). Today and for the next three days we will talk about a group of people who trusted God to take care of them. 　In 1620 a group of people left Plymouth, England to sail to America. These people are often called “Pilgrims.” They hoped to find religious freedom in the new land. One hundred and two passengers sailed on the ship called the Mayflower. 　The journey to America was very hard. The conditions on the ship were cold and damp. Many people became sick and two died before they reached land on November 11th. These people were willing to face these bad conditions so they could be free to worship God. 　Many people around the world do not have the freedom to worship God. Pray for these people. Ask God to guide them and keep them close to Him. —IMJ “Remember, I commanded you to be strong and brave. Don’t be afraid, because the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9 PRAYER: God, I trust You to take care of me. Thank You that I can worship You. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
