聖經閱讀：申命記11:13-25 現代中譯本|合和本

　聖經中有許多經節都談到天氣，所有這些經節告訴我們上帝掌管天氣。今天和接下來的九天，我們要來看看關於天氣的經節。
上帝應許祂會看顧以色列民，但上帝期待以色列民遵行祂的誡命，在第13節，上帝說，「所以，你們要謹慎遵行我今天頒佈給你們的誡命。要愛上主─你們的上帝，一心一意事奉他。」然後上帝告訴以色列民，如果他們這麼做，祂就會按時降雨到大地（第14a節）。
以色列民需要雨水，好讓他們可以為自己生產糧食、飼養牲畜，上帝說，如果他們遵行祂的誡命，祂就會供應他們雨水。上帝也期待我們遵從祂，當我們這麼做時，上帝會供應我們、祝福我們。你跟上帝是否有一個合宜的關係？今天你是否遵行祂的命令？ —JK

「你們要謹慎遵行我頒佈給你們的一切誡命；要愛上主─你們的上帝，實行他一切的命令，對他忠心。」 申命記11:22

禱告：上帝，謝謝祢降雨滋潤大地。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

Weather (1)
Bible Reading: Deuteronomy 11:13-25
Sunday, July 31, 2016

　There are many Bible verses that talk about weather. All of these verses show us that God is in control of our weather. Today and for the next nine days, we will look at Bible verses about weather.
God promised that He would take care of the Israelites. But God expected the Israelites to obey His commands. In verse 13 God said, “You must listen carefully to the commands I give you today: You must love the Lord your God, and serve him with all your heart and all your soul.” Then God told the Israelites that if they would do that, He would send rain for their land at the right time (verse 14a).
The Israelites needed rain so they could grow food for themselves and their animals. God said that if they would obey His commands, He would provide them with rain. God expects us to obey Him, too. When we do, God will provide for us and bless us. Do you have a right relationship with God? Are you obeying His commands today? —JK

“Be careful to obey every command I have told you to follow: Love the Lord your God, follow all his ways, and be faithful to him.” Deuteronomy 11:22

PRAYER: God, thank You for sending rain to water the earth. In Jesus' name. Amen.
