成功

成功
聖經閱讀：詩篇37:1-11 現代中譯本|合和本
2014年3月29日(六)

當有人靠著詐騙或謊言而看似成功時，你會有什麼感覺？你會嫉妒嗎？你會希望去做這些不正當的事而不會被抓嗎？ 　上帝並不希望你會有類似的想法，祂希望你專注在做對的事情上。今天經文的第3和第4節說：「要信靠上主，努力行善；安居在這片土地上，享受康寧。要向上主尋求喜樂；他一定成全你的心願。」這經文的意思是說，如果我們信靠並順服上帝，祂就會祝福我們。而上帝會怎麼祝福我們呢？祂會使我們所作的盡都順利，並賜給我們永恆的獎賞。 　當有人靠著做壞事而得著成功時，那樣的成功會在他們死去時結束。真正的成功發生在我們相信耶穌是我們的救主，並且為祂而活的時候。這種的成功會持續到永遠。 　你希望成為一個成功的人嗎？就天天信靠上帝來帶領你。—GT 「要耐心等候在上主面前；不要因興盛的人而懊惱，不要因惡謀得逞的人而不平。但是謙卑的人要定居在這片土地上；他們要安享無窮的幸福。」 詩篇37:7,11 禱告：親愛的上帝，我願專注信靠祢、服事祢。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (陳美婷譯)

Success
Bible Reading: Psalm 37:1-11
Saturday, March 29, 2014

How do you feel when someone who cheats or lies seems to be successful? Do you feel jealous? Do you wish you could do those wrong things and not get caught? 　God doesn’t want you to feel like that. He wants you to focus on doing what is right. Verses 3 and 4 of our Bible Reading today say, “So trust the Lord and do good. Live on your land and be dependable. Enjoy serving the Lord, and he will give you whatever you ask for.” That means if we trust and obey God, He will bless us. How will God bless us? He will give us success and rewards that last forever! 　When someone does wrong things to earn success, that success ends when they die. True success happens when we believe in Jesus as our Savior and live for Him. That success goes on forever. 　Do you want to be successful? Trust God to lead you every day. —GT “Trust in the Lord and wait quietly for his help. Don’t be angry when people make evil plans and succeed. Humble people will get the land God promised, and they will enjoy peace.” Psalm 37:7,11 PRAYER: Dear God, I want to focus on trusting and serving You. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
