使壞變好 (1)
聖經閱讀：羅馬書8:18-30 現代中譯本|合和本
2016年1月1日(五)

　或許你還記得2015年五到八月的靈修讀本比較晚收到，因為我們在印刷和郵寄這本書上有一些意外的延誤，但是通過這個問題，上帝用一些很棒的事來祝福我們。
當時有超過250個人聯絡我們，詢問為什麼還沒收到靈修讀本，大部分的人都告訴我們，說他們有多麼喜愛閱讀這本書。得知靈修讀本教導並鼓勵了這麼多人對我們很有幫助，也使我們可以向很多為我們禱告和奉獻的人表達謝意。
一位知名的牧師曾經說，上帝是將壞事變成好事的專家。我們在聖經裡可以讀到，許多對上帝忠心的人卻遭逢不幸，然而，上帝卻藉由這些不幸的狀況帶來祝福。接下來的幾天，我們要來看一些這樣的聖經故事。
不管今天發生什麼事，要記得上帝與你同在，你要不斷為這些發生在自己生命中的祝福讚美上帝。 —JK

「我們曉得萬事都互相效力，叫愛神的人得益處。」 羅馬書8:28

禱告：天父，感謝你每一天都祝福我。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

Good from Bad (1)
Bible Reading: Romans 8:18-30
Friday, January 1, 2016

You may remember that you received the May through August 2015 devotion book late. We had some unexpected delays in printing and mailing the books. But through this problem, God blessed us with some very good things.
More than 250 people contacted us, asking why they had not received their books. Most of those people told us how much they love reading the devotion book. It was good for us to know that the devotion book teaches and encourages so many people. We were also able to thank many of these people for their prayers and financial support.
A famous preacher once said that God is an expert at bringing good out of bad. Many times we read in the Bible about bad things that happened to people who were faithful to God. But God brought good things out of these bad situations. For the next few days we will look at some of these Bible stories.
No matter what happens today, remember that God is with you. Keep praising Him for the good things that happen in your life. —JK

“We know that in everything God works for the good of those who love him.” Romans 8:28a

PRAYER: Father, thank You for blessing me every day. In Jesus' name. Amen.
