2012年11月26日(一)

你是否遇到大麻煩？你是否受困在罪惡之中？你的生活是否跟某些事情辛苦奮戰中？那你該怎麼辦呢？ 　詩篇第130篇的作者提供了一個典範、告訴我們該怎麼做。這位作者深陷困境，他知道周遭的人犯了罪，但他怎麼做呢？他呼求上帝幫助他，他請求上帝垂聽他的呼聲，第2節說：「主啊，求你垂聽我的哀號；求你聽我求助的呼聲。」 　即便這位作者遇上了大麻煩，也經歷了困難的時刻，他仍然記得要相信上帝。他記得上帝是信實的、是真實的，他也同時記得，上帝是那位將人從罪中拯救出來的獨一真神，「因為他有不變的愛；他有豐盛的救恩。」（第7節） 　當你在困境中，千萬不要放棄！要堅持對上帝的信心，尋求祂、繼續信靠祂。記住，上帝是信實的，祂仍然是那位將你從罪中拯救出來的獨一真神。—CPE* 「我迫切等候上主的幫助；我信靠他的話。」 詩篇130:5 禱告：親愛的上帝，謝謝祢在我遇到麻煩的時候幫助我，謝謝祢赦免我的罪。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (EHI譯/台南聖教會英語團契)

Call to God
Bible Reading: Psalm 130:1-8
Monday, November 26, 2012

Are you in deep trouble? Are you stuck in sin? Are there things you struggle with in your life? What should you do? 　The person who wrote Psalm 130 gives us an example of what to do. He was in deep trouble. He knew people around him had sinned. What did the writer do? He called to God for help. He asked the Lord to listen to him. Verse 2 says, “My Master, listen to me. Listen to my call for help.” 　Even when the writer was in deep trouble and experiencing hard times, he remembered to trust in God. He remembered that God is faithful and true. The writer also remembered that God is the One who saves people from their sins. “True love is found only with the Lord. The Lord saves us again and again” (verse 7b). 　When you are in trouble, don’t give up! Keep your faith in God. Seek Him. Continue to trust Him. Remember God is faithful. He is still the One who saves you from your sins. —CPE* “I am waiting for the Lord to help me. My soul waits for him. I trust what the Lord says.” Psalm 130:5 PRAYER: Dear God, thank You for helping me when I am in trouble. Thank You for forgiving my sins. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
