正中間的經節
聖經閱讀：詩篇118:1-9 現代中譯本|合和本
2013年7月16日(二)

詩篇118:8說：「求上主庇護，勝過倚靠必死的人。」這個經節是整本聖經正中間的經節。 　我已經知道詩篇118:8是非常真實的。過去，我曾想倚靠一些人來幫我，但是他們拒絕幫我，或甚至反過來傷害我。我對有些人利用了我的困難和迷惑作為他們獲益的方法，已經感到非常失望了。 　當我所信任的人讓我失望時，我學習去倚靠上帝而不倚靠人；在上帝裡面，我找到了愛、平安和引導。當我學習倚靠上帝時，我的生活就變得更好了，為什麼呢？因為我知道上帝與我同在。 　倚靠上帝對我一直是困難的，但是我已經學會將我的未來交託給上帝。我不知道明天或明年將會有什麼事情發生在我身上，但是我仍必須在每一個情況中倚靠上帝。上帝預知未來，祂會一直為我成就最美好的事情。 　我希望你今天將會倚靠上帝，祂永遠不會讓你失望！ —BH 「求上主庇護，勝過倚靠世上的首領。」 詩篇118:9 禱告：天父，當我忘記倚靠祢時，請原諒我。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (尤榮輝譯)

Middle Verse
Bible Reading: Psalm 118:1-9
Tuesday, July 16 2013

Psalm 118:8 says, “It is better to trust in the Lord than to trust in people.” That verse is the middle verse of the whole Bible. 　I have learned that Psalm 118:8 is very true. I have depended on some people to help me, but they refused to help or they hurt me instead. I have been disappointed to see that some people have used my troubles and confusion as a way to benefit themselves. 　When people I trusted let me down, I learned to depend on God instead. In God I found love, peace, and guidance. When I learned to trust God, my life was better. Why? Because I knew that God was with me. 　It has been difficult, but I have learned to trust God about my future. I don’t know what will happen to me tomorrow or next year. But I still need to trust God in every situation. God knows the future, and He will always do what is best for me. 　I hope you are putting your trust in God today. He will never fail you! —BH “It is better to trust in the Lord than to trust in great leaders.” Psalm 118:9 PRAYER: Father, forgive me when I forget to depend on You. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
