聖經閱讀：詩篇46:1-11 現代中譯本|合和本
2014年5月26日(一)
當我們跟其他人有親密關係的時候，我們或許會想要整天跟他們在一起，但這通常是不太可能的事情。小孩子也許會想要媽媽一直陪在身邊來幫助他，但是他總會有跟媽媽分開的時候。上帝是唯一可以每天分分秒秒與我們同在的那一位。今天經文的第1節描述了上帝的樣子：「上帝是我們的避難所和力量，是我們患難中隨時的幫助。」 一種用來想像這種與上帝的關係的方法，就是把祂看作是我們的牧羊人。牧羊人總是親近他的羊，他在那裡幫助牠們，使牠們遠離危險。一個好的牧羊人為他的羊供應食物和水。 上帝也是這樣供應並保護我們。今天就感謝上帝是你的牧羊人，並謝謝祂是你隨時的幫助！－LL 「他說：要停止戰爭，承認我是上帝。我在萬國被尊崇；我在地上受敬奉。上主─萬軍的統帥與我們同在。」 詩篇46:10-11a
禱告：謝謝祢，上帝，因為祢是我隨時的幫助。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

Ready to Help Us
Bible Reading: Psalm 46:1-11

When we have a close relationship with another person, we may want to be with them all the time. But usually that is not possible. A child may want to always have his mother close by to help him, but there will be times when he will be separated from his mother. God is the only one who can be with us every minute of every day. Verse 1 of our Bible Reading describes what God is like. “God is our protection and source of strength. He is always ready to help us in times of trouble.” One way to imagine this relationship with God is to think about Him as our shepherd. A shepherd is always close to his sheep. He is there to help them and keep them out of danger. A good shepherd provides food and water for his sheep. God provides for us and protects us, too. Thank God today for being your shepherd and for always being ready to help you! —LL “God says...’I am the one who defeats the nations; I am the one who controls the world.’ The Lord All-Powerful is with us.” Psalm 46:10-11a
PRAYER: Thank You, God, for always being ready to help me. In Jesus’ name. Amen. |
