信靠上帝

信靠上帝
聖經閱讀：約書亞記1:6-9 現代中譯本|合和本
2015年5月9日(六)

在今天的閱讀經文中，上帝正預備約書亞去帶領以色列人進入應許之地。約書亞知道他未來會面對許多戰役，上帝教導約書亞應該要信靠上帝所帶來保護和勝利：「你要記住我的命令：要堅強，要勇敢！不害怕，不沮喪；因為你無論到哪裏，我、上主─你的上帝一定與你同在」（第9節）。 　約書亞和以色列人正等著要到上帝為他們預備的新家，同樣的，我們也正在等待永遠與上帝同住的日子。當我們還活在世上的時候，上帝就在預備我們要離開地上的家。 　我們每天都跟魔鬼進行屬靈的爭戰，靠著上帝的幫助和保護，我們可以堅定不移並且每天為祂而活，上帝聖潔而且完全的智慧將會幫助我們勝過魔鬼。 　今天要信靠上帝來帶領你，要倚靠祂的力量和祂的話語。 －JS* 「你們要穿戴上帝所賜的全副軍裝，好使你們能站穩，來抵禦魔鬼的詭計。好在險惡的日子裡能夠抵抗敵人的攻擊。」 以弗所書6:11b, 13b 禱告：上帝，求祢用祢的愛和智慧充滿我，並且幫助我去服事別人。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (林威妮譯)

Trust God
Bible Reading: Joshua 1: 6-9
Saturday, May 9, 2015

In our Bible Reading today, God was preparing Joshua to lead the Israelites into the Promised Land. Joshua knew that he would face many battles in the future. God taught Joshua that he should trust God for protection and victory. “Remember, I commanded you to be strong and brave. Don’t be afraid, because the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go” (verse 9). 　Joshua and the Israelites were waiting to go to the new home that God had prepared for them. In the same way, we are waiting for the time when we will live forever with God. While we live on earth, God is preparing us to leave our earthly home. 　Every day we fight a spiritual battle with the devil. With God’s help and protection, we can stand strong and live for Him every day. God’s holy and perfect wisdom will help us be victorious over the devil. 　Trust God to lead you today. Depend on His strength and His Word. —JS* “Wear God’s full armor so that you can fight against the devil’s clever tricks. Then on the day of evil, you will be able to stand strong.” Ephesians 6:11b, 13b PRAYER: God, fill me with Your love and wisdom. And help me to serve others. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
