完美時間點

完美時間點

去年冬天，我的車子出了問題，毛病出在引擎的正時不對。引擎有適當的正時，車子才跑得順，而且有力。進了修車廠幾次之後，我終於找到一位修車專家。現在，我的車子很好開，而且也很有力。 　在我們的生活中，有時候也會發生時間點錯誤的情形。或許我們做了上帝不要我們做的事，或者我們沒有做該做的事，結果，我們的生活充滿了問題，也讓我們對上帝的國度毫無幫助。 　上帝總是能抓住最完美的時間點，而且祂永遠知道什麼是對我們最好的。如果我們完全倚靠上帝，祂會祝福我們的生命，但是，我們必須耐心等候祂，今天的經文第20節說 : 「我們仰望上主；他是我們的幫助，我們的保護者。」 　今天，我們要謹慎按著上帝計劃的時間來生活，而不是按照自己的計劃。你要求上帝向你顯明祂對你人生的旨意。—NM 「我們心中充滿喜樂，因為我們信靠他的聖名。上主啊，我們仰望你；願你的慈愛常與我們同在。」 詩篇 33:21-22 禱告：上帝，謝謝祢總是知道什麼是對我最好的，幫助我有耐心等候祢。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (SSL譯/台南聖教會英語團契)

Perfect Timing
Bible Reading: Psalm 33:1-22
Wednesday, November 28, 2012

Last winter I had trouble with my car. The problem was in the timing of the engine. Proper timing is required for a car to run smoothly and have enough power. After my car was in the garage several times, I finally found a mechanic who was an expert. Now my car runs well and has more power. 　Sometimes in life, our timing is off. Maybe we do things that God does not want us to do. Or, we don’t do things that we need to do. Then our lives are filled with problems, and we are not useful in God’s kingdom. 　God’s timing is perfect. He always knows what is best for us. If we depend on Him completely, He will bless our lives. But we need to be patient and wait for His timing. Verse 20 of our Bible Reading says, “So we will wait for the Lord. He helps us and he protects us.” 　Be careful today to live according to God’s timing and not your own. Ask Him to show you His will for your life. —NM “God makes us happy. We truly trust his holy name. Lord, we truly worship you! So show your great love for us.” Psalm 33:21-22 PRAYER: God, thank You for always knowing what is best for us. Help me to be patient and wait for You. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
