聖經閱讀：出埃及記19:16-20 現代中譯本|合和本
2016年8月9日(二)

　昨天晚上我沒有睡好，因為一場暴雨，以及雷電交加，就算你是聾人、沒聽過雷聲，你也可以感受到打雷所引起的震動。
雷電一直是大能的象徵，今天讀的經文跟我們談到摩西在西奈山上遇見上帝的情形，上帝就在那時把要給以色列人的命令交付摩西，「第三天早晨，雷電交加，一朵密雲在山上出現，號角聲大響。營裡的人民聽到了都發抖。」接著第19節說：「摩西講話，上帝用雷回答他。」
上帝滿有愛心和仁慈，但是祂也大有能力，我們可以在聖經中讀到祂是如何大有能力，而我們今天也可以透過萬物看見上帝的能力。今天就花時間好好看看世界，想一想上帝的能力，並感謝祂賜下祂的美善。 —JK

「日日述說，夜夜傳播。」 詩篇19:2

禱告：天父，謝謝祢向我彰顯祢的愛和大能。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

Bible Reading: Exodus 19:16-20
Tuesday, August 9, 2016

　I did not sleep well last night. We had a bad thunderstorm, and there was lots of thunder. Even if you are deaf and have never heard thunder, you have probably felt the vibrations that thunder produces.
Thunder has always been a symbol of great power. Our Bible verses today tell us about the time when Moses met God on Mount Sinai. It was at this time that God gave Moses His commands for the Israelites. “On the morning of the third day, a thick cloud came down onto the mountain. There was thunder and lightning and a very loud sound from a trumpet” (verse 16). Then verse 19b says, “Every time Moses spoke to God, God answered him with a voice like thunder.”
God is very loving and kind. But He is also great and powerful. We can read about His great power in the Bible. And we can see God's power today through creation. Take time today to look at the world. Think about God's power and thank Him for His goodness. —JK
