摧毀
聖經閱讀：詩篇74:1-23 現代中譯本|合和本
2013年1月21日(一)

詩篇第74篇的作者告訴我們，耶路撒冷的聖殿是如何被摧毀的。聖殿是上帝的子民敬拜祂的地方，但是以色列民不順服上帝，所以上帝就允許以色列的敵人來攻打耶路撒冷，並且摧毀了聖殿。第7a節說：「他們用火焚燒你的聖所」。 　在耶穌受死並回到天國後，上帝建立了祂的教會，這教會是由愛耶穌並且順服祂的人所組成的。每一天，魔鬼都努力要摧毀教會，並且攻擊全世界的基督徒，魔鬼會鼓勵人們離開上帝轉而膜拜牠，牠也會試著阻止基督徒分享關於耶穌的好消息。 　對於魔鬼的攻擊，我們應該要怎麼做呢？我們該放棄嗎？不！我們應該要像詩篇第74篇的作者一樣，記得上帝會與我們同在並且幫助我們。我們需要禱告，並且持續傳揚關於耶穌的好消息，我希望你今天就這樣去做。－SH* 「但上帝啊，自古以來你就是我們的王；你多次拯救了我們。你安排晝夜；你使日月各安其位。」 詩篇74:12,16 禱告：天父，我愛祢！我願今天就為祢而剛強。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (SDL譯/台南聖教會英語團契)

Destruction
Bible Reading: Psalm 74:1-23
Monday, January 21, 2013

The writer of Psalm 74 tells us about the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem. The temple was the place where God’s people worshiped Him. But the Israelites disobeyed God. So He allowed their enemies to attack Jerusalem and destroy the temple. “They burned down your holy place” (verse 7a). 　After Jesus died and returned to heaven, God established His church. The church is made up of people who love and obey Jesus. Every day the devil tries to destroy the church. He attacks Christians all around the world. The devil encourages people to turn from God and worship him. And the devil tries to stop Christians from sharing the Good News about Jesus. 　What should we do about the devil’s attacks? Should we give up? No! We need to be like the writer of Psalm 74 and remember that God will be with us to help us. We need to pray and keep spreading the news about Jesus. I hope you do that today. —SH* “God, you have been our King for a long time. You have saved us many times on this earth. You control the day and the night. You made the sun and the moon.” Psalm 74:12,16 PRAYER: Father, I love You! I want to stand strong for You today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
