聖經閱讀：詩篇119:33-40 現代中譯本|合和本
2015年3月12日(四)
基督徒應該想要取悅上帝並對自己的思想、說話和行為的方式感到高興，但取悅上帝不總是那麼容易。每一天基督徒都跟魔鬼打仗，在彼得前書5:8b中，我們得知：「你們的仇敵─魔鬼正像咆哮的獅子走來走去，搜索可吞吃的人。」魔鬼想要讓基督徒不要跟從、順服上帝。但是基督徒並不孤單！在以弗所書第6章，保羅告訴我們如何持守信心來對抗魔鬼。我們可以穿戴上帝的軍裝、作好預備來跟魔鬼爭戰。如果我們有上帝的保護，我們就可以在這場對抗魔鬼的戰爭中得勝。 今天經文閱讀的第35節說：「求你領我走你誡命的道路，因為我從它得到喜樂。」如果去行上帝希望我們做的事，我們就會蒙祂喜悅，這樣的生活會帶給我們喜樂。 我希望你真喜歡作為一個基督徒，願上帝今天祝福你、幫助你。 —LZ*
「不聽從惡人的計謀，不跟隨罪人的腳步，不與侮慢上帝之徒同夥，這樣的人才算真正有福。」 詩篇1:1
禱告：上帝，我今天的目標是每一件我做的事都取悅祢。奉耶穌的名，阿們！
(尤榮輝譯)

Bible Reading: Psalm 119:33-40

Christians should want to please God and be happy with the way they think, speak/sign and act. But pleasing God is not always easy. Every day Christians fight a battle with the devil. In 1 Peter 5:8b, we learn that the “devil is your enemy, and he goes around like a roaring lion looking for someone to attack and eat.” The devil wants to keep Christians from following and obeying God. But Christians are not alone! In Ephesians, chapter 6, Paul tells us how we can stand strong against the devil. We can wear God’s armor and be prepared to fight the devil. If we have God’s protection, we can win the battle against evil. Verse 35 of our Bible Reading says, “Help me follow your commands because that makes me happy.” If we do what God wants us to do, He will be pleased with us. That kind of life will bring us happiness. I hope that you truly love being a Christian. May God bless you and help you today. —LZ*
“Great blessings belong to those who don’t listen to evil advice, who don’t live like sinners, and who don’t join those who make fun of God.” Psalm 1:1
PRAYER: God, my goal today is to please You in everything I do. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
