腓力
聖經閱讀：約翰福音1:43-46 現代中譯本|合和本
2014年2月3日(一)

藉著閱讀約翰福音，我們可以得知很多關於腓力的事情。今天的經文是關於腓力第一次遇見耶穌的情形。耶穌向腓力說（第43節）：「來跟從我！」腓力立刻就跟從了耶穌。之後，腓力帶他的朋友拿但業來見耶穌。 　約翰福音6:5-11告訴我們另一次腓力跟耶穌在一起時的情形。那時耶穌正在教導一大群人，而吃飯時間已經到了，在第5節，耶穌問腓力：「我們到哪裏去買食物，好讓這些人都吃飽呢？」腓力不知道他們要怎麼餵飽那麼多人，於是耶穌就行了一個神蹟餵飽了超過5000人。在那天，腓力學到了關於耶穌、很棒的一課。 　有時候我們就像腓力，會擔心吃什麼、穿什麼，或是住什麼地方。我們其實不需要擔心，反而必須倚靠上帝，祂將會照顧我們。 　今天請不要憂慮！就倚靠上帝來幫助解決你的需要和你的問題。祂愛你並希望能照顧你。 －DF 「大家看見耶穌所行的神蹟，就說：『這個人一定是那要到世上來的先知！』」 約翰福音6:14 禱告：天父，我願天天倚靠祢來照顧我。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (尤榮輝譯)

Philip
Bible Reading: John 1:43-46
Monday, February 3, 2014

We can learn a lot about Philip by reading the book of John. Our Bible Reading is about the first time Philip met Jesus. Jesus said to Philip (verse 43), “Follow me.” Immediately Philip followed Jesus. Later Philip brought his friend, Nathaniel, to Jesus. 　John 6:5-11 tells us about another time Philip was with Jesus. Jesus was teaching a large group of people, and it was time to eat. In verse 5, Jesus asked Philip, “Where can we buy enough bread for all these people to eat?” Philip did not know how they could feed so many people. Jesus did a miracle and fed more than 5000 people. Philip learned a great lesson about Jesus that day. 　Sometimes we are like Philip. We worry about food or clothes or where we will live. Instead of worrying, we need to depend on God. He will take care of us. 　Don’t worry today! Depend on God to help you with your needs and your problems. He loves you and wants to take care of you. —DF “The people saw this miraculous sign that Jesus did and said, ‘He must be the Prophet who is coming into the world.’” John 6:14 PRAYER: Father, I will depend on You to take care of me every day. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
