我女兒的狗喜歡保持暖和，冬天的時候，我女兒使用了一台小暖氣機，那狗就喜歡坐在那台暖氣機的旁邊。偶而牠會離開暖氣機，但不久之後會再回來，待在靠近暖氣機的地方。 　身為基督徒，我們應該想要親近上帝，當我們親近祂時，就會更有力量。上帝的力量幫助我們遠離罪惡而去作祂的工，如果離開上帝，我們在靈性上就會虛弱。 　我們可以如何親近上帝呢？詩篇1告訴我們應該「愛慕上主的法律，日夜默誦不倦」（第2節），如果這樣行，我們就會像長在河邊的樹，在跟上帝的關係裡，我們會成長茁壯。 　我鼓勵你今天找時間研讀上帝的話語，在祂的愛裡成長並親近祂！ —GM 「上主關懷義人所走的路；邪惡的人卻走向滅亡！」 詩篇1:6 禱告：親愛的天父，我願永遠親近祢。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (尤榮輝譯)

Dad's Devotions (6)
Bible Reading: Psalm 1:1-6
Wednesday, February 18, 2015

My daughter's dog loves to keep warm. During the winter, my daughter uses a small space heater. The dog loves to sit on the floor next to the heater. Sometimes she will move away from the heater. But soon she will come back and stay close to the heater. The dog knows that is the warmest place to be! 　As Christians, we should want to stay close to God. When we are close to Him, we have more strength. God's strength helps us to stay away from sin and to do His work. If we move away from God, we become spiritually weak. 　How can we stay close to God? Psalm 1 tells us that we should “love the Lord's teachings and think about them day and night” (verse 2). If we do that, we will be like a tree that grows by a river. We will grow stronger in our relationship with God. 　I encourage you to find time to read and study God's Word today. Grow in His love and stay close to Him! —GM “The Lord shows his people how to live, but the wicked have lost their way.” Psalm 1:6 PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, I want to always stay close to You. In Jesus' name. Amen.
