聖經閱讀：希伯來書11:1-3

2015年11月4日(三)

有一次我跟朋友在森林裡健行，在走了一段路之後，我開始注意我們所走的小路。

一開始，我注意到路面是褐色的，四周是青草地，這表示這條路有人走過或是騎腳踏車經過，我再仔細看，可以看到路上有鞋印和輪胎的軌跡。這些現象幫助我相信以前有人經過這條路，即使我沒有看到那些人，但這些鞋印和軌跡讓我相信他們真實存在。

同理，我們可以相信上帝真實存在，透過大自然和人們，我們看見上帝的創造和祂的愛。今天經文閱讀的第3b節說：「這樣，那看得見的是從那看不見的造出來的。」我們沒有看過上帝，但我們可以相信祂確實存在。

今天就看看你的四周，注意觀察那些可以幫助你相信上帝是真實存在的東西。 —MP*

「信心是對所盼望的事有把握，對不能看見的事能肯定。」希伯來書11:1

禱告：上帝，謝謝祢創造萬物來幫助我們相信祢真實存在。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

Bible Reading: Hebrews 11:1-3

Wednesday, November 4, 2015

One time I went on a hike in a forest with my friend. After walking for a while. I started noticing things about the path we were walking on.

At first I noticed that the path was brown, surrounded by green grass. This showed me that people had been walking or riding their bikes on the path. When I looked closer, I could see shoe prints and bike tire tracks in the path. These things helped me believe that people had been on this path before. Even though I never saw the people, I believed they were real because of the prints and tracks.

In the same way, we can believe in God. We see God’s creation and His love through nature and people. Verse 3b of our Bible Reading says, “This means that the things we see were made by something that cannot be seen.” We have never seen God before, but we can believe that He exists.

Look around you today. Notice things that help you believe God is real. —MP*

“Faith is what makes real the things we hope for. It is proof of what we cannot see.” Hebrews 11:1

PRAYER: God, thank You for creation which helps us believe in You. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
