上帝掌管一切

上帝掌管一切
聖經閱讀：哈巴谷書2:1-4 現代中譯本|合和本
2015年8月7日(五)

你是否會覺得這個世界越來越糟糕，邪惡就要勝過美善？我認為這就是先知哈巴谷的感受。以色列的敵人巴比倫越來越強盛，哈巴谷求問上帝所有正在發生的惡事。 　在今天閱讀的經文中，上帝對哈巴谷說話。上帝告訴哈巴谷，說祂有一個更棒的計劃，它看起來好像邪惡佔了優勢，但上帝說祂的審判永遠是公正的。上帝賜給哈巴谷這個信息的目的是要提醒他，上帝永遠掌管這個世界以及所有發生的事。 　當看到世界發生不好的事情時，我們不要感到沮喪，而應當記得上帝對每一件事都有一個計劃，而且祂的計劃不會失敗。 　你一定要藉著讀經、禱告、關心別人，以及跟其他基督徒團契來使你對上帝的真理堅定不移。－JS* 「你們要警醒，要在信仰上站穩，要勇敢，要剛強。一切工作都要憑著愛心去做。」 哥林多前書16:13-14 禱告：天父，我感謝祢掌管一切並且對我的生命有一個計劃。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (尤榮輝譯)

God is in Control
Bible Reading: Habakkuk 2:1-4
Friday, August 7, 2015

Do you ever feel that the world is getting worse and evil is winning over good? I think that is how the prophet Habakkuk felt. Israel’s enemy, Babylon, was increasing in power. Habakkuk asked God about all the evil things that were happening. 　In our Bible verses today, God spoke to Habakkuk. God told him that He had a greater plan. It may have looked like evil was winning, but God said that His judgment is always fair. The purpose of God’s message to Habakkuk was to remind him that He is always in control of the world and what happens. 　When we look at the world and see bad things, we should not feel depressed. We should remember that God has a plan for everything, and His plan will not fail. 　Be sure that you stand strong on God’s truth by reading the Bible, praying, caring for others and having fellowship with other Christians. —JS* “Be careful. Hold firmly to your faith. Have courage and be strong. Do everything in love.”1 Corinthians 16:13-14 PRAYER: Heavenly Father, I thank You that You are in control and have a plan for my life. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
