聖經閱讀：馬太福音13:10-17
2015年10月27日(二)

是不是有些人聽到一些事卻不明白所聽到的？或者，是不是有些人看到一些事卻不了解所看到的？今天我們閱讀的經文中，耶穌說：「他們視而不見，聽而不聞，又不明白」（第13節）。

有時候我們就像耶穌所說的人那樣，我們有讀到告訴我們要停止犯罪的經文，但是我們卻仍然繼續犯罪，或者，我們有讀到告訴我們要讚美上帝的經文，但是我們卻常常抱怨、發牢騷。

有些人讀上帝的話語卻沒有留心，也許你有讀經，但是卻忽略其中要你去做的事。問題不在於你的耳朵，問題是在於你的心和態度，你必須留心聆聽上帝和祂在聖經中的話語。

就請求上帝幫助你留心聆聽祂的話語，這樣你就會知道如何愛祂、順服祂。 —SH*

「因為他們心智閉塞……不然，他們的眼睛就會看見，耳朵也會聽見，心裏領悟，回心轉意，我就治好他們。」馬太福音13:15b

禱告：天父，我願閱讀並留心聆聽祢的話語。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

Bible Reading: Matthew 13:10-17
Tuesday, October 27, 2015

Can some people hear something and not understand what they heard? Or can some people see something and not understand what they saw? In our Bible Reading today Jesus said, “They see, but they don’t really see. They hear, but they don’t really hear or understand” (verse 13b).

Sometimes we are like the people Jesus was talking about. We read a Bible verse that tells us to stop sinning. But we continue to sin. Or a Bible verse tells us to praise God. Instead, we grumble and complain.

Some people read God’s Word but they do not pay attention to it. Maybe you read the Bible, but you ignore what it tells you to do. The problem is not your ears. The problem is your heart and your attitude. You need to pay attention to God and His words in the Bible.

Ask God to help you pay attention to His Word. Then you will know how you can love and obey Him. —SH*

“If their minds were not closed, they might see with their eyes; they might hear with their ears; they might understand with their minds. Then they might turn back to me and be healed.” Matthew 13:15b

PRAYER: Father, I want to read and pay attention to Your Word. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
