聖經閱讀：詩篇27:1-14 現代中譯本|合和本
2015年1月5日(一)

在我年輕的時候，我們家住在離祖母只隔幾條路的地方，有時在晚餐後，我們會走路去探望祖母，通常會一直待到天黑。 　當我們散步回家時，我總是會走在父母親的身邊，為什麼呢？因為我怕黑。在黑暗中，任何東西似乎都很可怕！吵雜的聲音會嚇到我，但是當我緊跟著父母時，就感到安全。我的父母疼愛我，不希望我受到驚嚇。 　有時壞事會臨到我，而我就開始感到害怕。魔鬼希望我擔心、不要信靠上帝，希望我活在罪的黑暗中。當我害怕時，我必須記得今天經文的第1節:「上主是我的亮光，我的拯救；我還怕誰呢？」 　當走在黑暗中，我的父母幫助我有安全感；當我信靠上帝時，就可以在充滿罪惡的世界中感到安全。我希望你今天會信靠上帝，你永遠可以倚靠祂作你的光！ －CW* 「要信靠上主！要堅強壯膽！要信靠上主」 詩篇27:14 禱告：上帝，謝謝祢作我的光，我願意信靠祢而不害怕。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (尤榮輝譯)

Bible Reading: Psalm 27:1-14
Monday, January 5, 2015

When I was young, my family lived only a few blocks from my grandmother. Sometimes after supper, we would walk to visit Grandma. We usually stayed until it was dark outside. 　I always walked near my parents when we were walking home. Why? Because I was afraid of the dark. Everything seemed so scary in the dark! The noises frightened me. But when I walked close to my parents, I felt safe. My parents loved me and didn't want me to be frightened. 　Sometimes bad things happen to me, and I start to feel afraid. The devil wants me to worry and not trust God. The devil wants me to live in the darkness of sin. When I am afraid, I need to remember verse 1 of our Bible Reading, “Lord, you are my Light and my Savior, so why should I be afraid of anyone?” 　My parents helped me feel safe when I walked in the dark. When I trust God, I can feel safe in a world full of sin. I hope you will trust God today. You can always depend on Him to be your light! —CW* “Wait for the Lord's help. Be strong and brave, and wait for the Lord's help.” Psalm 27:14 PRAYER: Lord, thank You for being my Light. I will trust You and not be afraid. In Jesus' name. Amen.
