信靠主
聖經閱讀：以賽亞書40:28-31 現代中譯本|合和本
2014年6月26日(四)

彼得馬歇爾是個有名的佈道家，在他過世的時候，他的妻子凱撒琳感到十分悲傷和壓力沉重。 　當凱撒琳努力走出悲傷時，她終於明白上帝正在告訴她要長大並更加成熟。之後，當她回顧這段憂傷的日子時，她說上帝已經「帶走了她的悲傷和破碎的希望，並且將它們轉變成令人驚奇的美好。」 　只要我們還活在世上，總會有些事情讓我們悲傷和擔憂──死亡、貧窮、疾病或是戰爭。但是，我們必須記得上帝在我們的生命中有一個計畫，而且祂可以從艱難的時刻中為我們帶來美好的事物。 　我們必須持續不斷信靠上帝走過艱難的時刻。今天經文的第31節說：「但是倚靠上主的人，充沛的精力源源不絕。他們會像老鷹一樣張開翅膀；他們奔跑不疲乏；他們行走不困倦。」 　無論今天你遇到什麼事情，要持續不斷地信靠上帝，祂會永遠與你同在。 —VNW 「他賜力量給疲乏的人；他賜力氣給困倦的人。」 以賽亞書40:29 禱告：上帝，我願持續不斷信靠祢。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (李信儀譯)

Trust in the Lord
Bible Reading: Isaiah 40:28-31
Thursday, June 26, 2014

Peter Marshall was a famous preacher. When he died, his wife, Catherine, was overcome with grief and stress. 　As Catherine tried to work through this grief, she realized that God was telling her to grow up and become more mature. Later, as she looked back over this time of grief, she said that God had taken her “grief and smashed hope and turned them into astonishing good.” 　As long as we live on earth, there will always be things that cause us grief and worry — death, poverty, sickness or war. But we need to remember that God has a plan for our lives and that He can bring good things from our bad times. 　We need to keep trusting God through these bad times. Verse 31 of our Bible Reading says, “But those who trust in the Lord will become strong again — like eagles that grow new feathers. They will run and not get weak. They will walk and not get tired.” 　No matter what you are facing today, keep on trusting God. He will always be with you. —VNW “[God] helps tired people be strong. He gives power to those without it.” Isaiah 40:29 PRAYER: God, I want to keep trusting You. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
