上帝可以使用你

上帝可以使用你

2015年5月27日(三)

今天閱讀的經文跟我們談到基甸的故事。上帝的天使告訴基甸，祂希望基甸去幫忙擊退米甸人的軍隊，基甸回答說：「主啊，我怎能解救以色列呢？我屬於瑪拿西支族最弱的宗族；我是家裏最不重要的人」（第15b節）。 　雖然基甸認為自己是軟弱的人，但是上帝知道他有一顆願意順服的心，上帝告訴基甸：「我一定與你同在。你將輕易擊敗米甸人，好像擊打一人一樣」（第16節）。 　因為上帝大有能力，祂甚至能夠使用最軟弱的人來作祂的工。很多重要的聖經人物都有軟弱──摩西、大衛王、保羅，還有其他許多人，但是上帝知道這些人有信心，所以祂透過他們來成就大事。 　上帝也可以使用你，你要繼續相信祂，祂會向你顯明你可以為祂做的大事。 －JP* 「我沒有足夠的時間去提基甸、巴拉、參孫、耶弗他、大衛、撒母耳，和先知們的事蹟呢。他們藉著信心，戰勝了周圍的國家。」 希伯來書 11:32b-33a 禱告：主，我會永遠相信祢、順從祢。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (陳萍萍譯)

God Can Use You
Bible Reading: Judges 6:11-16
Wednesday, May 27, 2015

Our Bible verses today tell us about Gideon. God’s angel told Gideon that He wanted Gideon to help defeat the Midianite army. Gideon answered, “How can I save Israel? My family group is the weakest in the tribe of Manasseh, and I am the youngest one in my family” (verse 15b). 　Even though Gideon thought he was weak, God knew his heart and his willingness to obey. God told Gideon, “I will be with you, so you can defeat the Midianites as easily as if they were only one man” (verse 16). 　Because God is so powerful, He is able to use even the weakest person to do His work. Many important Bible people had weaknesses — Moses, King David, Paul and many others. But God knew these people had faith, and He did great things through them. 　God can use you, too. Keep trusting Him, and He will show you the great things you can do for Him. —JP* “I don’t have enough time to tell you about Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the prophets. All of them had great faith. And with that faith they defeated kingdoms.” Hebrews 11:32b-33a PRAYER: Lord, I will always trust You and obey You. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
