聖經閱讀：詩篇131:1-3 現代中譯本|合和本
2013年1月22日(二)
今天，我們活在一個非常忙碌的世界中，我們總是從一個地方趕去另一個地方，很多人就忘記要花一些時間安靜下來並且專注於上帝。今天經文的第2節中，作者說：「…我的心平穩安靜，好像斷過奶的孩子在他母親的懷中。」這是一個美麗的畫面，讓我們知道該如何與上帝相處。我們應該以身為祂的孩子為滿足，並且知道祂會照顧我們。 新約聖經告訴我們，耶穌常常到一個安靜的地方禱告，並且跟上帝說話。當耶穌需要做重要的決定，或是面對極大的問題時，祂尤其會這麼做。 上帝想要我們跟祂說話，並且專注於祂的話語──聖經，而這時候，也是我們能從上帝那裏學到最多的時候。今天，你要從忙碌的行程中脫身出來，然後花一些時間安靜地與上帝同在。—NW 「因為來來往往的人太多，耶穌和門徒連吃飯的時間也沒有，所以耶穌對他們說：『你們來，跟我私下到偏僻的地方去休息一會兒。』」 馬可福音6:31a
禱告：主，今天我願花一些時間與祢同在。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

Quiet Time
Bible Reading: Psalm 131:1-3
Tuesday, January 22, 2013

Today we live in a very busy world. We are always hurrying from one place to another. Many people forget to take time to be quiet and pay attention to God. In verse 2 of our Bible Reading, the writer says, “...right now I am calm and quiet, like a child after nursing, content in its mother’s arms.” That is a beautiful picture of how we should be with God. We should be satisfied to be His child and know that He will take care of us. The New Testament tells us that often Jesus went to a quiet place. He prayed and talked to God. Jesus especially did this when He needed to make an important decision or when He was facing a big problem. God wants us to talk to Him and pay attention to His Word, the Bible. That’s when we can learn the most from God. Get out of your busy schedule today and spend some quiet time with God. —NW “Jesus and his followers were in a very busy place. There were so many people that he and his followers did not even have time to eat. He said to them, ‘Come with me. We will go to a quiet place to be alone.’” Mark 6:31a
PRAYER: Lord, I want to spend some time with You today. In Jesus’ name. Amen. |
