上帝的教導

上帝的教導
聖經閱讀：雅各書1:2-8 現代中譯本|合和本
2016年4月15日(五)

　最近我跟先生搭巴士去參加孫子的大學畢業典禮，旅途很長，但途中我們遇到了一些很有趣的人。
我們跟巴士裡的一位和善的朋友有幾次的談話，我們談了過去經歷的一些問題，他說：「每一次的教訓都是祝福。」我同意他的說法，上帝是我們最好的導師，祂使用困難來教導我們，如果我們留意這些教導，我們就真的會有很多的祝福。
在今天的經文閱讀中，雅各談到了試煉，以及上帝如何透過試煉來給我們有益的教導，第3-4a節告訴我們：「因為知道你們的信心經過了考驗就會產生忍耐。你們要忍耐到底才能達到十全十美。」 要留意今天上帝賜給你的教導，這是上帝祝福你的方式之一！ －PD

「你們要忍耐到底才能達到十全十美，沒有任何缺欠。」 雅各書1:4b

禱告：主，謝謝祢天天賜給我寶貴的教導，謝謝祢祝福我。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

God's Lessons
Bible Reading: James 1:2-8
Friday, April 15, 2016

Recently my husband and I traveled by bus to attend our grandson's graduation from college. It was a long trip, but we met some very interesting people along the way.
We had several conversations with a friendly man on the bus. We talked about some problems he had experienced. He said, “Every lesson is a blessing.” I agreed with that. God is our best teacher. He uses times of trouble to teach us lessons. If we pay attention to these lessons, we will truly have many blessings.
In our Bible verses today, James talks about troubles and how God teaches us good things through these troubles. Verses 3-4a tell us, “You know that when your faith is tested, you learn to be patient in suffering. If you let that patience work in you, the end result will be good.” Pay attention to the lessons that God will teach you today. That is one way He blesses you! —PD

“You will be mature and complete. You will be all that God wants you to be.” James 1:4b

PRAYER: Lord, thank You for the valuable lessons You teach me every day. Thank You for blessing me. In Jesus' name. Amen.
