聖經裡的動物 (4)
聖經閱讀：詩篇18:30-33 現代中譯本|合和本
2016年5月18日(三)

　住在鄉下的時候，我常常在院子裡看到鹿，我總是很喜歡看牠們跳過籬芭。鹿是一種非常優雅、沈穩的動物。
詩篇第18篇的作者將自己比喻作一隻鹿，他說上帝已向他顯明生命的正確道路，並且使他安穩地走在那條路上：「他使我像母鹿一樣腳步穩定，使我在高山上站穩」（第33節）。
如果我們真的願意順服上帝，就會遵行祂對我們生命的計畫，而得知上帝計畫的方法就是讀經、查經。新約聖經中充滿了上帝的指示，提摩太後書3:16告訴我們：「全部聖經是受上帝靈感而寫的，對於教導真理，指責謬誤，糾正過錯，指示人生正路，都有益處。」
你想要像一隻腳步穩定的鹿嗎？就每天花時間讀經，並且求上帝幫助你遵行祂對你生命的計畫。 —JK

「這位上帝─他的作為多麼完善！他的話多麼可靠！他像一面盾牌保護所有投靠他的人。」 詩篇18:30

禱告：親愛的上帝，謝謝祢對我的生命賜下計畫。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

(林煜茹譯)

Bible Animals (4)
Bible Reading: Psalm 18:30-33
Wednesday, May 18, 2016

When I lived in the country, I
would often see deer in our yard.
I always enjoyed watching them jump over fences. Deer are very graceful and steady animals.
The writer of Psalm 18 compares himself to a deer. He says that God had shown him the right path in life and kept him steady on that path. “He makes my feet as steady as those of a deer. Even on steep mountains he keeps me from falling” (verse 33).
If we truly want to obey God, we will follow His plan for our life. The way we can know God's plan is to read and study the Bible. The New Testament is filled with instructions from God. 2 Timothy 3:16 tells us, “All Scripture is given by God. And all Scripture is useful for teaching and for showing people what is wrong in their lives. It is useful for correcting faults and teaching the right way to live.”
Do you want to be like a steady deer? Take time every day to read the Bible and to ask God to help you follow His plan for your life. —JK

“God's way is perfect. The Lord's promise always proves to be true. He protects those who trust in him.” Psalm 18:30

PRAYER: Dear God, thank You for Your plan for my life. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
