聖經閱讀:使徒行傳28:1-9 現代中譯本|合和本
2014年6月17日(二)
世上每一天都有壞事發生,但是上帝可以為了祂的國度使用這些壞事來成就好事。今天和明天,我們會來看上帝如何從保羅生命中的壞事帶來好事。 保羅一直想要去羅馬,向那裡的人分享耶穌的福音。保羅最後是如何到達羅馬的?他是一名囚犯!上帝使用囚犯這樣一個糟糕的情況將祝福帶給其他人。 在今天的經文中,我們得知保羅搭的船發生了船難。保羅和其他同船的人住在一個酋長的家中,那個酋長的父親病得很嚴重,而保羅醫治了他。之後,「島上所有的病人都來了,也都得到醫治」(第9b節)。 保羅是一名囚犯,但是他仍然能夠服事上帝並且行善事。今天就求上帝使用你──就算你是在糟糕的狀況中。 —JK 「我們知道,上帝使萬事互相效力,叫愛上帝的人─就是他按照自己的旨意呼召的人都得益處。」 羅馬書8:28
禱告:上帝,求祢今天使用我來服事祢。奉耶穌的名,阿們!

Good from Bad (1)
Bible Reading: Acts 28:1-9
Tuesday, June 17, 2014
Every day bad things happen in the world. But God can use these bad things to make good things happen for His kingdom. Today and tomorrow we will look at how God brought good things from bad situations in Paul’s life. Paul always wanted to go to Rome and share the Good News about Jesus with people there. How did Paul finally arrive in Rome? He was a prisoner! God used the bad situation of being a prisoner to bring good things to other people. In our Bible verses today, we learn that the ship Paul was sailing on was shipwrecked. Paul and the other passengers stayed in the home of a Roman official. The official’s father was very sick, and Paul healed him. Then, “all the other sick people on the island came to Paul, and he healed them” (verse 9b). Paul was a prisoner, but he was still able to serve God and do good. Ask God to use you today — even in the bad situations that happen to you. —JK “We know that in everything God works for the good of those who love him. These are the people God chose, because that was his plan.” Romans 8:28
PRAYER: God, please use me to serve You today. In Jesus’ name. Amen. |
