慢慢地澆水

慢慢地澆水
聖經閱讀：哥林多前1:24-31 現代中譯本|合和本
2014年3月5日(三)

當你對著植物澆水的時候，你應該要慢慢地將水倒下去，為什麼呢？因為土壤需要時間吸收水份。如果你澆得太快，水可能會從花盆底部流失，所以慢慢地澆水對植物是最好的。 　有時候我們也許會想：「為什麼上帝允許壞事發生？或者，為什麼上帝不現在就處理好這世上的所有壞事？」今天的經文提醒我們關於上帝的大智慧，第25節告訴我們：「因為所謂『上帝的愚拙』總勝過人的智慧，所謂『上帝的軟弱』也勝過人的堅強。」 　我們也許不明白上帝所做的事，我們只需要信任祂的大智慧。上帝知道祂常常需要在我們的生命中慢慢地動工，好讓我們可以學會接受祂的決定和計畫。上帝所做的每一件事都有完美的時間安排，為了要幫助我們成長。 　今天就信靠上帝和祂為你準備的計畫！ －GT 「上主以自己的大能創造大地。他以智慧建立世界，以聰明展開天空。」 耶利米書51:15 禱告：天父，謝謝祢以大智慧做了合適我的事情。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (尤榮輝譯)

Water Slowly
Bible Reading: 1 Corinthians 1:24-31
Wednesday, March 5, 2014

When you water a plant, you should pour the water slowly. Why? Because the soil needs time to absorb the water. If you pour the water too fast, it may run out the bottom of the pot. It is best for the plant to water it slowly. 　Sometimes we may think, “Why does God allow bad things to happen? Or why doesn’t God fix all the bad things in the world right now?” Our Bible Reading today reminds us about God’s great wisdom. Verse 25 tells us, “Even the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom. Even the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.” 　We may not understand why God does the things He does. We just need to trust His great wisdom. God knows that often He needs to move slowly in our lives so we can learn to accept His decisions and plans. Everything God does is timed perfectly to help us grow. 　Trust God and His plan for your life today! —GT “God used his great power and made the earth. He used his wisdom to build the world and his understanding to stretch out the skies.” Jeremiah 51:15 PRAYER: Father, thank You for being wise and doing what is right for me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
