聖經閱讀：撒母耳記上 20:1-17 現代中譯本|合和本
2013年10月15日(二)
掃羅王的兒子約拿單跟大衛是最要好的朋友，但是他們要成為朋友並不容易，為什麼呢？因為掃羅想要殺大衛。今天的經文告訴我們，大衛和約拿單見面並談論他們的處境。大衛希望約拿單去找出他父親要殺他的原因，約拿單則保證他會探問出掃羅的想法。約拿單這麼做是要冒著生命危險的，為什麼約拿單願意這麼做呢？因為他愛他的朋友大衛。經文第17節說：「他非常愛大衛，就像愛自己一樣。」 好朋友是來自上帝的祝福，擁有一個你可以信任的好朋友是很棒的事情。儘管你犯了錯，一個真正的朋友會依然愛你，即使在你發脾氣或感到沮喪時，他仍然愛你。 今天，就想想你的朋友，打電話給他們並感謝他們成為你的朋友，或者，為你最要好的朋友做一些貼心的事。最重要的是，感謝上帝賜給你這些愛你、鼓勵你的朋友。 —JK 「不要離棄朋友，或父親的朋友。遭難時不要向親人求助，因為鄰近的朋友勝過遠方的親人。」 箴言27:10
禱告：天父，謝謝祢賜下好朋友來祝福我。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

Love for Friends
Bible Reading: 1 Samuel 20:1-17

King Saul’s son, Jonathan, and David were best friends. It was difficult for them to be friends. Why? Because Saul wanted to kill David. Our Bible verses tell us that David and Jonathan met and talked about their situation. David wanted Jonathan to find out why his father was trying to kill him. Jonathan promised that he would find out how Saul felt. In doing this, Jonathan was risking his own life. Why would Jonathan do this? Because he loved his friend, David. Verse 17a says, “Jonathan loved David as himself.” Good friends are blessings from God. It is wonderful to have a good friend you can trust. A true friend loves you despite your faults and loves you even when you are grouchy and discouraged. Think about your friends today. Call them and thank them for being your friends. Or, do something nice for your best friend. Most of all, thank God for giving you friends who love and encourage you. —JK “Don’t forget your own friends or your father’s friends. If you have a problem, go to your neighbor for help. It is better to ask a neighbor who is near than a brother who is far away.” Proverbs 27:10
PRAYER: Father, thank You for blessing me with good friends. In Jesus’ name. Amen. |
