大比大
聖經閱讀：使徒行傳9:36-43 現代中譯本|合和本
2014年7月30日(三)

今天的經文跟我們談到大比大，她擁有從上帝而來的美好恩賜。大比大能夠為別人縫製衣服，這是大比大向其他人表達上帝之愛的方式。 　今天的經文也跟我們談到大比大死了，所有認識她的人都非常傷心。大比大的朋友拜託彼得幫助她，有了上帝的幫助，彼得能夠使大比大從死裡復活。也因著這個神蹟，更多人信了耶穌。 　你的恩賜是什麼呢？你會縫紉嗎？烹飪？修理東西？寫作？清掃？上帝已經賜給你可以去服事別人的特別技能和能力。你的恩賜或許看起來很平凡，但是上帝會幫助你使用它們去愛別人。 　我希望你今天用恩賜去幫助別人。 —GT 「無論做甚麼，你們都要專心一意，像是為主工作，不是為人工作。要知道主會把他為自己的子民所保存的賞賜給你。」 哥羅西書3:23-24a 禱告：天父，我願用我的恩賜來服事祢。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (王亭惠譯)

Tabitha
Bible Reading: Acts 9:36-43
Wednesday, July 30, 2014

Our Bible verses tell us about Tabitha. She had a wonderful talent from God. Tabitha was able to sew and make clothes for other people. This was how Tabitha showed God’s love to other people. 　Our Bible verses also tell us that Tabitha died. All of the people who knew Tabitha were very sad. Tabitha’s friends asked Peter to help her. With God’s help, Peter was able to raise Tabitha from the dead. Because of this miracle, many more people believed in Jesus. 　What is your talent? Can you sew? Cook? Fix things? Write? Clean? God has given you special skills and abilities that you can use to serve others. Your talents may seem ordinary, but God will help you use them to show love to other people. 　I hope you use your talents to help others today. —GT “In all the work you are given, do the best you can. Work as though you are working for the Lord, not any earthly master. Remember that you will receive your reward from the Lord, who will give you what he promised his people.” Colossians 3:23-24a PRAYER: Heavenly Father, I want to use my talents to serve You. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
