我跟我太太在婚姻生活中遇到了一些財務困難，有一次，我太太兼了兩份工作來幫助支應開銷。 　就在那個時候，我向太太提議要奉獻收入的十分之一給上帝。我太太那時並不確定這是一個好主意，她不認為我們可以奉獻出那麼多錢而還能夠生活。但我提醒她，我們的錢並不真的屬於我們──它屬於上帝。 　我太太和我都相信上帝會照顧我們，所以我們就開始十一奉獻。上帝用很多不同的方式來照顧我們、祝福我們。希伯來書第11章談到一些相信上帝的聖經人物，因為他們的信心，上帝就祝福他們。 　今天就將你的金錢、你的財產交託給上帝，祂將會用許多奇妙的方式來供應你並祝福你！—MA* 「那麼，信心是甚麼呢？信心是對所盼望的事有把握，對不能看見的事能肯定。古人能夠贏得上帝的贊許就是由於他們相信上帝。」 希伯來書11:1-2 禱告：天上的父，謝謝祢讓我們可以從聖經中學習信心的功課。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (尤榮輝譯)

Faith in God
Bible Reading: Hebrews 11:1-13
Wednesday, January 22, 2014

My wife and I have faced financial struggles in our marriage. At one time, my wife was working two jobs to help pay the bills. 　It was at that time I suggested to my wife that we give God one-tenth of our income. My wife was not sure that was a good idea. She didn’t think we could give away that much money and still live. I reminded her that our money does not really belong to us — it belongs to God. 　My wife and I had faith that God would take care of us, so we started giving one-tenth to Him. God took care of us and blessed us in many different ways. Hebrews, chapter 11, talks about people from the Bible who had faith in God. Because of their faith, God blessed them. 　Trust God with your money and your possessions today. He will provide for you and bless you in amazing ways! —MA* “Faith is what makes real the things we hope for. It is proof of what we cannot see. God was pleased with the people who lived a long time ago because they had faith like this.” Hebrews 11:1-2 PRAYER: Heavenly Father, thank You that we can learn lessons about faith from the Bible. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
