　耶穌創造了地球和其中的萬物，真是奇妙！今天讀的經文中，當耶穌平靜大海時，祂證明了自己是水的主人：「耶穌斥責狂風大浪，風浪就止息，湖面平靜」（第24b節）。是的，耶穌真是滿有能力。
太陽、月亮、星星和水都別無選擇，它們都必須聽從耶穌，但是我們可以選擇，我們可以選擇耶穌成為我們的主，或是選擇撒旦成為我們的主。耶穌原本可以強迫我們跟隨祂，但是祂沒這麼做，祂反而讓我們決定是否選擇祂成為我們的主。
耶穌可以做任何祂想要做的事，這就是為什麼祂讓我們自由來決定是否讓祂成為我們生命的主宰。如果耶穌強迫我們跟隨祂，祂也許不會開心，但是當我們決定讓祂成為我們的主時，祂會很高興！
所以要讓耶穌開心、讓自己也開心！就選擇跟隨耶穌吧！ —PK

「如果你們不願意事奉他，那麼，今天必須決定，你們要事奉的是誰。」 約書亞記24:15a

禱告：天父，我願耶穌成為我的主，求祢幫助我今天選擇祂。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

Jesus (9)
Bible Reading: Luke 8:22-25
Tuesday, August 30, 2016

Jesus created the earth and everything in it. That is wonderful! In our Bible Reading today, Jesus proved that He is the Master over water when He calmed the sea. “He gave a command to the wind and the waves. The wind stopped, and the lake became calm” (verse 24b). Yes, Jesus is truly powerful.
The sun, moon, stars and water have no choice. They must obey Jesus. But we have a choice. We can choose to make Jesus our Master or choose the devil as our master. Jesus could force us to follow Him, but instead, He allows us to choose Him as our Master.
Jesus can do anything He wants. That's why He gives us the freedom to choose Him to be the ruler over our lives. Jesus would not be happy if He had to force us to follow Him. But when we choose to make Him our Master, He is very happy!
So make Jesus happy, and make yourself happy, too! Choose to follow Jesus. —PK

“But maybe you don't want to serve the Lord. You must choose for yourselves today. Today you must decide who you will serve.” Joshua 24:15a

PRAYER: Father, I want Jesus to be my Master. Help me to choose Him today. In Jesus' name. Amen.
