聖經閱讀：馬太福音6:33-34 現代中譯本|合和本

買我們地的那個人也同時擁有那塊地四周的所有農地，他準備要拆掉我們的房子和建築物，然後翻土來種玉米和黃豆。 　我記得住在那房子裡的許多美好往事，我先生跟我種了很多樹和灌木，我們也重新裝潢了幾個房間，想到所有這一切都要被毁真是令人傷心。 　但我們的房子和財物其實並不重要，當我們去世時，我們無法帶走任何東西，真正重要的是我們跟上帝的關係，以及我們在世上如何服事祂。 　在今天的經文閱讀中，耶穌說，最重要的東西是「要先追求上帝主權的實現，遵行他的旨意」（第33a節），所以不要擔心你在世上擁有的財物，而要專心跟隨並遵從上帝。 —JK 「所以我告訴你們，不要為了生活上所需的飲食，或者身上所穿的衣服操心。難道生命不比飲食重要，身體不比衣服重要嗎？ 」 馬太福音6:25 禱告：親愛的天父，今天我願跟隨祢、遵從祢。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (尤榮輝譯)

Bible Reading: Matthew 6:33-34
Sunday, October 4, 2015

The man who bought our acreage also owns all the farm land around the acreage. He plans to tear down our house and buildings, plow up the soil and plant corn and soy beans. 　I remember many good things about living in that house. My husband and I planted many trees and bushes. We remodeled several rooms in the house. It is sad to think that all of that will be destroyed. 　But our houses and our possessions are not really important. When we die, we can't take anything with us. What is really important is our relationship with God and how we serve Him here on earth. 　In our Bible Reading, Jesus says that the most important thing is “God's kingdom and doing what he wants you to do” (verse 33b). So don't worry about your possessions here on earth. Instead, focus on following and obeying God. —JK “So I tell you, don't worry about the things you need to live — what you will eat, drink, or wear. Life is more important than food, and the body is more important than what you put on it.” Matthew 6:25 PRAYER: Dear Father, I want to follow and obey You today. In Jesus' name. Amen.
