很多人非常熟悉今天閱讀的經文，在1960年代，有一首很流行的美國民謠是根據這些經節寫的，第1節說：「天下萬事都有定期，都有上帝特定的時間。」 　我們承認上帝掌管宇宙是一件非常重要的事，從我們出生的那一刻開始直到死去，上帝對我們的生命有一個計劃。我們不會完全了解上帝的作為，但我們仍然必須信任祂、倚靠祂。 　這些經節提醒我們，說我們的生命中將會面對很多事情，其中一些像是出生、死亡、哭泣、歡笑、悲傷、喜樂、愛、恨、收藏東西、丟掉東西、戰爭，以及和平，當面對這些事時，我們必須讓上帝在我們的生命中作工，這樣我們的生命才會有意義和目的。 　今天就信靠上帝來指引你的生命！ －JK 「我們知道，上帝使萬事互相效力，叫愛上帝的人─就是他按照自己的旨意呼召的人都得益處。」 羅馬書8:28 禱告：天父，謝謝祢今天在我的生命中作工。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (尤榮輝譯)

Ecclesiastes (4)
Bible Reading: Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
Monday, August 24, 2015

The verses in our Bible Reading today are very familiar to many people. In the 1960s a popular American folk song was based on these verses. Verse 1 says, “There is a right time for everything, and everything on earth will happen at the right time.” 　It is very important that we recognize that God is in control of the universe. From the time we are born until the time we die, God has a plan for our lives. We don’t always understand what God is doing, but we still need to trust and depend on Him. 　These verses remind us that we will face many things in life. Some of these things are birth, death, crying, laughter, sadness, joy, love, hatred, keeping things, throwing away things, war and peace. As we face these things, we need to allow God to work in our lives. Then our lives will have meaning and purpose. 　Trust God to direct your life today! —JK “We know that in everything God works for the good of those who love him. These are people God chose, because that was his plan.” Romans 8:28 PRAYER: Father, thank You for working in my life today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
