上帝的教導

上帝的教導

我認為種子是極其迷人的東西，每一顆種子都包含了一切長成為草木所需的元素。如果你撒下花的種子，你不會得到一棵樹；如果你種下的是樹的種子，你不會看到它長出一朵花。 　今天的經文談到種子，耶穌所談的種子是指上帝的教導，耶穌希望我們每天都將上帝的教導種到心田裡。 　如果你生命中種下的是仇恨、忿怒、急躁、和悖逆的種子，你將會成為你所種下的那樣。但是，如果想要學像耶穌，你就必須研讀上帝的話語，這樣愛的各樣素質，像是忍耐、仁慈、喜樂、良善、以及信實，將會在你的生命中滋長。 　今天就想一想你的生命，什麼樣的種子是你要種到心田裡的？我希望你種下的種子是上帝的教導。—GT 「末了，弟兄姊妹們，你們要常常留意那些美善和值得讚揚的事。一切真實、高尚、公正、純潔、可愛，和光榮的事都應該重視。你們從我所學習，領受，或聽到，看到的言行，都要實行出來。那賜平安的上帝就會與你們同在。」 腓立比書4:8-9 禱告：天父，我願將那最好的種子種到我的生命中。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (尤榮輝譯)

God’s Teaching
Bible Reading: Mark 4:13-20
Monday, January 13, 2014

I think seeds are fascinating things. Each seed contains everything it needs to grow and become a plant or tree. If you plant flower seeds, you won’t grow a tree. And if you plant tree seeds, you won’t grow flowers. 　Our Bible Reading today talks about seeds. The seeds that Jesus was talking about are God’s teachings. Jesus wants to be sure that we plant God’s teachings in our hearts every day. 　If you plant seeds of hate, anger, impatience and disobedience in your life, you will become like that. But if you want to be like Jesus, you need to read and study God’s Word. Then the qualities of love, patience, kindness, joy, goodness and faithfulness will grow in your life. 　Think about your life today. What kind of seeds are you planting in your heart? I hope you are planting the seeds of God’s teaching. —GT “Brothers and sisters, continue to think about what is good and worthy of praise. Think about what is true and honorable and right and pure and beautiful and respected...And the God who gives you peace will be with you.” Philippians 4:8-9 PRAYER: Heavenly Father, I want to choose the best seeds to plant in my life. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
