　我聽過一個故事，說有一個人將錢包掉進一口枯井裡了，但是這個人的體形太大，無法爬進井裡，所以只好請他的兒子來幫忙拿回錢包。
這個人很仔細量了繩子的長度，然後將繩子交給兒子。接著，他的兒子就拉著繩子往井底爬下去，當兒子到達繩子尾端時，他感到擔心並呼喊他的父親。這個人就回答說：「你現在可以放開繩子，就會掉到井底了。」但是兒子心裡害怕而不願放開繩子。最後，兒子實在太累了，雙手才放開繩子，而他才往下掉了8公分就踩到井底，在那裡他也找到了錢包。這個兒子因為不相信父親而感到不好意思。

今天閱讀的經文提醒我們必須相信上帝，如果我們相信上帝，就會蒙祂喜悅，並且我們也會更認識祂。
今天就相信上帝，要信靠祂來照顧自己。 —BF*

「那麼，信心是甚麼呢？信心是對所盼望的事有把握，對不能看見的事能肯定。由於信心，我們知道宇宙是藉著上帝的話造成的。」 希伯來書11:1,3a

禱告：天父，謝謝祢賜下話語，今天我願相信祢。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

Faith
Bible Reading: Hebrews 11:1-3
Thursday, January 28, 2016

　I heard a story about a man who dropped his wallet down a dry well. The man was too large to fit in the well so he asked his son to get the wallet.
The man carefully measured a rope and gave it to his son. Then the son climbed down the rope into the well. When the son was at the end of the rope, he became worried and shouted to his father. The man said, “You can let go of the rope now and fall to the floor.” But the son was afraid and would not let go. Finally, the son became so tired that his hands let go of the rope. He fell about 3 inches to the floor where he found the wallet! The son was embarrassed that he did not have faith in his father.

Our Bible verses today remind us that we need to have faith in God. If we have faith in God, He will be pleased with us, and we will understand more about Him.
Have faith in God today. Trust Him to take care of you. —BF*

“Faith is what makes real the things we hope for. It is proof of what we cannot see. Faith helps us understand that God created the whole world by his command.” Hebrews 11:1,3a

PRAYER: Father, thank You for Your Word. I want to be faithful to You today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
