上帝的安慰

上帝的安慰
聖經閱讀：哥林多後書1:3-4a 現代中譯本|合和本
2014年10月17日(五)

生活中我們有時候會遇到困難，也許是車子出了問題而我們沒錢修理，或者是我們的孩子生病了，或是我們在工作上出了問題。這些重擔使我們感到疲倦和憂傷，我們不知道該怎麼辦。我們需要幫助！ 　今天經文的第4節告訴我們，上帝「在我們的各種患難中，他安慰我們。」另外，詩篇46:1也告訴我們：「上帝是我們的避難所和力量，是我們患難中隨時的幫助。」我喜歡這些經句！ 　上帝愛我們，祂隨時準備好要幫助我們，祂要我們相信祂會永遠與我們同在並且安慰我們。但是，我們要如何領受上帝的安慰呢？當我們禱告的時候，上帝會留意我們的禱告，祂也許會透過經句或藉由其他基督徒來安慰我們，或是我們在生活中單單感受到一種特別的平安。 　如果你需要祂慈愛的安慰，今天就回轉向上帝吧！—DJH* 「我安靜等候上帝；他是我的拯救者。只有他保護我，拯救我；他是我的堡壘，我不至於慘敗。」 詩篇62:1-2 禱告：親愛的主, 謝謝祢賜下安慰和保護.。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (陳萍萍譯)

God's Comfort
Bible Reading: 2 Corinthians 1:3-4a
Friday, October 17, 2014

Sometimes we have problems in our life. Maybe we have car problems and we don't have money for repairs. Or our child is sick or we have problems at work. These burdens make us feel tired and sad. We don't know what to do. We need help! 　Verse 4 of our Bible Reading tells us that God “comforts us every time we have trouble.” And Psalm 46:1 tells us, “God is our protection and source of strength. He is always ready to help us in times of trouble.” I like those verses! 　God loves us, and He is ready to help us. He wants us to trust that He will always be with us and comfort us. But how do we receive God's comfort? When we pray, God will pay attention to our prayers. He may comfort us through Bible verses that we read or through other Christians. Or we may just feel a special peace in our lives. 　Turn to God today if you need His loving comfort. —DJH* “I must calm down and turn to God; only he can rescue me. He is my Rock, the only one who can save me. He is my high place of safety, where no army can defeat me.” Psalm 62:1-2 PRAYER: Dear Lord, thank You for Your comfort and protection. In Jesus' name. Amen.
