今天的聖經閱讀告訴我們當耶穌前往葉魯家途中所發生的事情。那時，耶穌遇到了一個生病的女人，她「看過許多醫生，受盡許多痛苦，耗盡所有的家產；可是她的病不但沒有起色，反而一天比一天沉重。」(第26節)。 　這個女人跟著耶穌，「心裏想：『我一摸他的衣裳，一定得醫治。』」(第28節)，而當這個女人一摸到耶穌衣裳的時候，她立刻被醫治了。 　這個女人有著極大的信心，耶穌對她說：「孩子，你的信心救了你。」(第34a節) 這件事告訴我們，當我們禱告祈求上帝的幫助時，我們要有信心，我們要真實地相信上帝可以成就我們所求的事。 　當我們相信時，就是在向上帝表明我們完全倚靠祂。今天，當你禱告的時候，要相信上帝會成就對你生命最好的事情。—SH* 「『孩子，放心吧，你的信心救了你！』就在那時候，那個女人的病好了。」 馬太福音9:22b 禱告：親愛的天父，我愛祢並信靠祢來照顧我。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (KCC譯/台南聖教會英語團契)

Mark (7)
Bible Reading: Mark 5:25-34
Tuesday May 21, 2013

Our Bible Reading today tells us about something that happened when Jesus was on His way to Jairus’ house. Jesus met a sick woman. “She had suffered very much. Many doctors had tried to help her, and all the money she had was spent, but she was not improving. In fact, her sickness was getting worse” (verse 26). 　The woman followed Jesus. “She thought, ‘If I can just touch his clothes, that will be enough to heal me’” (verse 28). As soon as the woman touched Jesus’ coat, she was healed. 　This woman had great faith. Jesus told her, “Dear woman, you are made well because you believed” (verse 34a). This shows us that when we pray and ask God for help, we need to have faith. We need to really believe that God can do what we are asking. 　When we have faith, it shows God that we are completely depending on Him. As you pray today, have faith that God will do what is best for your life. —SH* “Be happy, dear woman. You are made well because you believed.’ Then the woman was healed.” Matthew 9:22b PRAYER: Dear Father, I love You and trust You to take care of me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
