奇妙的上帝

奇妙的上帝
聖經閱讀：詩篇36:5-10 現代中譯本|合和本
2015年2月24日(二)

當我的孩子還小的時候，我們一起學習認識地球上的海洋。我們研究不同的海洋，以及存在其中的東西；我們學習認識所有各種海洋的動物、植物。我想我學到的跟他們一樣多！ 　其中一件令我著迷的事是海底的深度。地球上海底的平均深度大約是14,000英呎（4,267公尺），這真的很深，但是在太平洋有一個地方叫馬里亞納海溝，哪裡海底的深度是36,200英呎（10,134公尺）。哇！ 　在我們今天閱讀的經文中，這位詩篇的作者談到上帝的信實、美善和公平，在第6b節，他說：「你的判斷如同深淵」。上帝是公平、公義的，這就是為什麼說祂是奇妙的上帝！ 　上帝是公平、充滿慈愛的，祂決定什麼是對的事情並期待我們順服祂。今天就謝謝上帝愛你並藉著耶穌賜給你祂的救恩禮物。 —JK 「上帝必不作惡；全能者也不偏離公平。難道恨惡公平的可以掌權嗎？那有公義的、有大能的，豈可定他有罪嗎？」 約伯記34:12,17 禱告：天父，祢是如此大有能力、令人敬畏！謝謝祢賜下公平和公義。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (尤榮輝譯)

Wonderful God
Bible Reading: Psalm 36:5-10
Tuesday, February 24, 2015

When my children were young, we learned about the oceans of the world. We studied the different oceans and what is in them. We learned about all kinds of sea creatures and plant life. I think that I learned as much as they did! 　One of the things that really fascinated me was the depth of the oceans. The average depth of the world’s oceans is about 14,000 feet. That is really deep. But there is a place in the Pacific Ocean called the Mariana Trench. There the ocean is 36,200 feet deep. Wow! 　In our Bible Reading today, the Psalm writer talks about God’s faithfulness, goodness and fairness. In verse 6b he says, “Your fairness is deeper than the deepest ocean.” God is fair and just. That’s why He’s such a wonderful God! 　God is fair and loving. He decides what is right and expects us to obey Him. Thank God today for loving you and offering you His gift of salvation through Jesus. —JK “The truth is that God does no wrong. God All-Powerful is always fair. God is not only powerful, but he is fair.” Job 34:12,17a PRAYER: Heavenly Father, You are so powerful and awesome! Thank You for being fair and just. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
