耶穌醫治了那個被污靈附身的人之後不久，他遇見了一位名叫葉魯的人，葉魯是猶太會堂（敬拜的地方）的主管。 　葉魯告訴耶穌他的女兒快要死了，耶穌就跟葉魯一起去。路途中，有人從葉魯的家裡趕來，告訴葉魯他的女兒已經死了。耶穌對葉魯說：「不要怕，只要信！」(第36b節) 耶穌就到葉魯的家，並且讓他的女兒死而復活。 　當葉魯知道他的女兒快要死了的時候，他也許感到很無助。他知道自己不能醫治她，所以那時他去找耶穌。有時候，我們會面對疾病、問題、甚至是死亡，這時候我們必須像葉魯一樣，回轉向上帝尋求幫助和安慰。 　今天，不論你正面臨什麼樣的困難，上帝可以幫助你堅強站立，你要倚靠祂和祂的力量。 —SH* 「女孩子立刻起來行走(那時她已經十二歲)。這事使大家非常驚訝！」 馬可5:42 禱告：天父，請原諒我沒有倚靠祢。我願永遠跟隨祢和祢的話語。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (KCC譯/台南聖教會英語團契)

Bible Reading: Mark 5:21-24, 35-43

Soon after Jesus healed the man who had evil spirits, He met a man named Jairus. Jairus was a leader in a Jewish synagogue or place of worship. 　Jairus told Jesus that his daughter was dying. Jesus went with Jairus. On their way, some men from Jairus’ house met them and said that Jairus’ daughter had died. Jesus told Jairus, “Don’t be afraid; just believe” (verse 36b). Jesus went to Jairus’ home and made his daughter live again. 　When Jairus knew that his daughter was dying, he probably felt helpless. He knew that he could not heal her. That’s when he went to see Jesus. Sometimes we face sickness, problems or even death. That is the time when we need to be like Jairus and turn to God for help and comfort. 　No matter what hard times you are facing today, God can help you stand strong. Depend on Him and His strength. —SH* “The little girl immediately stood up and began walking. (She was twelve years old.) The father and mother and the followers were amazed.” Mark 5:42 PRAYER: Heavenly Father, forgive me for not depending on You. I want to always follow You and Your Word. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
