上帝的應許 (5)

上帝的應許 (5)
聖經閱讀：哥林多前書10:11-19 現代中譯本|合和本
2015年2月2日(一)

我們所有人都會遇到試探，然後要犯罪或不要犯罪則是我們的選擇，就算是耶穌也受到試探（你可以在馬太福音4:1-11讀到耶穌受試探的事情），但是耶穌選擇不犯罪。 　有時候我們受到試探，我們自認可以對試探說「不」，但這不是事實！今天經文閱讀的第13節是上帝的另一個應許，這個經節提醒我們，所有人都面臨同樣的試探。這個經節同時告訴我們，上帝「絕不讓你們遭遇到無力抵抗的試探。當試探來的時候，他會給你們力量，使你們擔當得起，替你們打開一條出路。」哇！這節經文帶給我們安慰和力量，無論我們遇到什麼樣的試探，上帝都會幫助我們說「不」。 　也許在你的生活中有罪的問題，而你自認沒有能力對一些試探說「不」。但是你真的可以說「不」，就信靠上帝來幫助你離開罪惡，祂會賜給你所需的力量。 －JK 「所以，誰自以為站得穩，誰就該小心，免得跌倒。」 哥林多前書10:12 禱告：天父，謝謝祢賜下應許來幫助我們站立得穩。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (尤榮輝譯)

God's Promises (5)
Bible Reading: 1 Corinthians 10:11-19
Monday, February 2, 2015

All of us face temptations. Then it is our choice to sin or not to sin. Even Jesus was tempted to sin. (You may read about Jesus’ temptation in Matthew 4:1-11.) But Jesus chose not to sin. 　Sometimes when we are tempted, we think we cannot say “no” to temptation. But that is not true! Verse 13 of our Bible Reading is another promise from God. This verse reminds us that all people face the same temptations. This verse also tells us that God “will not let you be tempted more than you can bear. But when you are tempted, God will also give you a way to escape that temptation. Then you will be able to endure it.” Wow! This verse gives us comfort and strength. No matter what temptations we face, God will help us say “no.” 　Maybe you have a problem with sin in your life, and you think that you can’t say “no” to some temptations. But you can say “no.” Trust God to help you turn away from sin. He will give you the strength that you need. —JK “So anyone who thinks he is standing strong should be careful that he doesn’t fall.” 1 Corinthians 10:12 PRAYER: Father, thank You for Your promise to help us stand strong. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
