聖經閱讀：撒母耳記上3:1-10 現代中譯本|合和本
2015年12月28日(一)

今天閱讀的經文是關於撒母耳的故事。在撒母耳還小的時候，他的母親帶他去跟祭司以利一起生活。
有一天晚上，上帝對撒母耳說話。撒母耳聽見有人在呼喚他的名字，以為是以利在叫他，但以利對他說：「我沒喊你，回去睡吧！」（第5b節）接著，上帝又呼喚了撒母耳，這次撒母耳對上帝說：「請說，僕人聽著！」（第10b節）

大多數的孩子都願意順服上帝，他們知道順服會蒙上帝的喜悅；撒母耳願意留心聆聽上帝，他希望蒙上帝的喜悅。基督徒也應該要像這樣，我們應該要留心聆聽上帝的話語，也就是聖經中所說的話，並且我們也希望能蒙上帝的喜悅。

今天你會有機會去做對的事，或是去做錯誤的事，如果你選擇做對的事，上帝就會高興，但是如果你選擇做錯誤的事，上帝就會不開心。你要選擇留心聆聽上帝和祂的話語。 —JK

「順從比祭物更好；聽命勝過獻上最好的羊。」
撒母耳記上15:22b

禱告：天父，今天我願順服於祢。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

Bible Reading: 1 Samuel 3:1-10
Monday, December 28, 2015

Our Bible Reading today is about Samuel. When he was very young, his mother brought him to live with Eli, the priest. One night, God spoke to Samuel. Samuel heard someone calling his name. He thought that Eli was calling him. Eli said, “I didn't call you. Go back to bed” (verse 5b). Later, God called Samuel again. Samuel said to God, “Speak, I am your servant, and I am listening” (verse 10b).

Most children want to obey God. They know that God is happy when they obey. Samuel wanted to pay attention to God. He wanted to please God. Christians should be like that, too. We should pay attention to what God says in His Word, the Bible. And we should want to please God.

Today you will have opportunities to do right things or wrong things. If you choose to do right things, God will be happy. If you choose to do wrong things, God will not be happy. Choose to pay attention to God and His Word. —JK

“It is better to obey God than to offer sacrifices to him. It is better to listen to God than to offer the fat from rams.”
1 Samuel 15:22b

PRAYER: Father, I want to obey You today. In Jesus' name. Amen.
