安全的地方

安全的地方
聖經閱讀：詩篇32:1-11 現代中譯本|合和本

有一次，我看一個電視節目談到一個大家庭，他們的家被燒毀了，在重建的期間，這對父母必須為一大群家人找到暫住的地方。所以，鎮上的許多家庭就把他們的孩子接進來一起住。最後，房子終於重建完成，而這家人也再次團聚了。 　這個故事中，這對父母希望孩子們能住在一個安全並受到保護的地方，而今天的經文也談到一個可以使我們安全的地方。在第7a節，作者跟上帝說：「你是我藏匿的地方；你一定會救我脫離災難。」 　那些孩子需要住在一個安全的地方，同樣的，在這個充滿罪惡的世界中，我們也需要一個可以讓我們感到受保護的地方。這個地方有上帝同在，而我們可以藉著順服祂、向祂禱告，以及閱讀祂的話語，也就是聖經，來親近上帝。 　今天，你需要一個安全的地方嗎？就回轉歸向上帝，並且讓祂帶領你、保護你。—ECW 「上主說：我要指示你該走的道路；我要教導你，時時規勸你。」 詩篇32:8 禱告：上帝，謝謝祢帶領我並使我安全。奉主的名，阿們！ (陳美婷譯)

Safe Place
Bible Reading: Psalm 32:1-11
Saturday, November 9, 2013

Once I saw a TV show about a large family. Their house burned down. The parents needed to find a place for the big family to live while the house was being rebuilt. So several families in the town took the children into their homes to live. Finally, the house was rebuilt, and the family was together again. 　The parents in this story wanted their children to live where they would be safe and protected. Our Bible Reading talks about a place where we can be safe, too. In verse 7a, the writer says to God, “You are a hiding place for me. You protect me from my troubles. You surround me and protect me.” 　The children needed a safe place to live. In the same way, we need a place where we can feel protected from all the bad things in the world. That place is with God. We can be close to God by obeying Him, praying to Him and reading His Word, the Bible. 　Do you need a safe place today? Turn to God and let Him guide and protect you. —ECW “The Lord says, ‘I will teach you and guide you in the way you should live. I will watch over you and be your guide.’” Psalm 32:8 PRAYER: God, thank You for guiding me and keeping me safe. In His name. Amen.
