馬利亞的思想

馬利亞的思想
聖經閱讀：路加福音2:1-20 現代中譯本|合和本
2015年12月3日(四)

上帝的使者告訴馬利亞，她將生下上帝的兒子。這件事發生在馬利亞和約瑟結婚以前，之後他們前往耶穌的出生地伯利恆。在馬利亞懷胎9個月的過程當中，一定充滿了許多驚奇和疑問。 　但馬利亞好像從來沒有懷疑過上帝，她總是感謝讚美祂，馬利亞一定好奇想知道她奇蹟般的懷孕和耶穌的誕生是怎麼回事。在今天經文閱讀中的第19節說：「馬利亞卻把這一切事牢記在心裡，反覆思想。」 　有時候我們看見上帝在我們的生活中行了奇事，或者我們明白上帝終於回應了我們的禱告，或是我們讀了一些經節而得到幫助和鼓勵。不過，我們應該學像馬利亞，把這一切事都牢記在心裡，好讓我們可以在靈命上成長。 　今天就花一點時間來思想上帝賜給你的各種祝福。—BH 「我學習你的教導；我慎思你的訓誨。」 詩篇119:15 禱告：主啊，求祢幫助我思想祢對我生命的各種祝福。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (周維音譯)

Mary's Thoughts
Bible Reading: Luke 2:1-20
Thursday, December 3, 2015

God's angel told Mary that she would give birth to God's Son. This happened before Mary and Joseph were married. Then they traveled to Bethlehem where Jesus was born. Those nine months of Mary's pregnancy must have been filled with excitement and many questions. 　But it seems that Mary never doubted God. She always praised and thanked Him. Mary must have wondered about her miraculous pregnancy and the birth of Jesus. Verse 19 of our Bible Reading says, “Mary continued to think about these things, trying to understand them.” 　Sometimes we see that God has done something special in our lives. Or we may realize that God has answered our prayers. Or we might read some Bible verses that give us help and encouragement. We should be like Mary. We should continue to think about these things so we can grow spiritually. 　Take some time today to think about the many ways God has blessed you. —BH “I will study your instructions. I will give thought to your way of life.” Psalm 119:15 PRAYER: Lord, help me to think about the many ways You bless my life. In Jesus' name. Amen.
