上帝的計劃

上帝的計劃
聖經閱讀：約拿書1:1-17 現代中譯本|合和本
2016年1月11日(一)

　一整夜在地上下了好幾吋的雪，當史考特和他弟弟醒來時，他們不想上學，而只想在雪地裡玩耍，所以這兩個男孩就用雪做了一道穿過馬路的牆，他們希望校車開不進他們家。但是不久之後，校車來了並壓壞了那道雪牆，史考特跟他弟弟所做的工被毁了，他們終究還是要去上學。

在今天的經文中，我們讀到有一個人的計劃毁了。約拿不願遵從上帝的旨意去尼尼微城，所以他上了一艘船，企圖逃避上帝，但是最後，約拿被一條大魚吃進了肚子裡。約拿悔改了，上帝拯救了他，最後，約拿順服上帝前往尼尼微。
這個故事教導我們要順服上帝，以及祂對我們生命的計劃。不可違背上帝，而要信靠祂並遵從祂在你生命中的引導。 —NM

「約拿在魚的肚子裡向上主─他的上帝禱告：上主啊，我在遭難的時候呼求你，你回答了我。」 約拿書2:1-2a

禱告：天父，我願意遵行祢對我生命的計劃。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

(尤榮輝譯)

God’s Plan
Bible Reading: Jonah 1:1-17
Monday, January 11, 2016

Several inches of snow fell on the ground overnight. When Scott and his brother woke up, they didn't want to go to school. All they wanted to do was play in the snow. So the two boys built a snow wall across the road. They hoped the school bus couldn’t get to their house. But soon the bus came and smashed through the snow wall. Scott and his brother's work was destroyed and they had to go to school anyway.

In our Bible verses we read about another person who had his plans destroyed. Jonah didn't want to obey God and go to the city of Nineveh. So he got on a ship and tried to run away from God. But Jonah ended up inside a big fish. Jonah repented, and God saved him. Finally, Jonah obeyed God and went to Nineveh.
The story about Jonah teaches us to obey God and His plan for our lives. Don't rebel against God. Trust Him and follow His leading in your life. —NM

While Jonah was in the stomach of the fish, he prayed to the Lord his God. He said, ‘I was in very bad trouble. I called to the Lord for help, and he answered me.’” Jonah 2:1-2a

PRAYER: Father, I am willing to obey Your plans for my life. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
