倚靠上帝

倚靠上帝
聖經閱讀:箴言3:5-8 現代中譯本|合和本
2016年11月18日(五)

　有些人不喜歡接受別人的幫助，認為倚靠別人是軟弱的表現，他們甚至在需要幫助時也拒絕請求協助。
身為基督徒，我們需要倚靠上帝，唯有祂不會讓我們失望或難過。今天經文閱讀的第5節提醒我們「要專心信賴上主，不可倚靠自己的聰明。」這節經文讓我們學到什麼是該做的事、什麼是不該做的事。
首先，我們每天都要倚靠上帝，我們可以永遠信靠祂的幫助。上帝愛我們，希望把最好的賞賜給我們，祂會在大事上都幫助我們，也會在小事上幫助我們。其次，我們不可倚靠自己的聰明。有時候我自認該做的事卻是錯的，上帝知道祂對我一生的完整計畫，這也是為什麼我們要完全倚靠祂的原因。
今天你需要幫助嗎？就倚靠上帝吧！ —PD

「無論做甚麼事，都要以上主的旨意為依歸，他就會指示你走正路。」 箴言3:6

禱告：天父，今天我要倚靠祢的帶領。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

Depend on God
Bible Reading: Proverbs 3:5-8
Friday, November 18, 2016

Some people do not want anyone’s help. These people think that depending on someone else shows that they are weak. They refuse to ask for help, even when they need it.
As Christians, we need to depend on God. He is the only one who will never fail us or let us down. Verse 5 of our Bible Reading today reminds us of this. “Trust the Lord completely, and don't depend on your own knowledge.” In this verse we learn something that we should do and something that we should not do.
First, we should depend on God every day. We can always trust Him to help us. God loves us and wants what is best for us. He will help us with our big problems and with our small problems. Second, we should not depend on our own knowledge. Sometimes what I think I should do is wrong. God knows His whole plan for our lives. That's why we should completely depend on Him.
Do you need help today? Depend on God! —PD

“With every step you take, think about what he wants, and he will help you go the right way.” Proverbs 3:6

PRAYER: Father, I will depend on You to guide me today. In Jesus' name. Amen.
