聖經閱讀:以斯帖記2:1-18 現代中譯本|合和本
2016年2月7日(日)
過去的兩天裡,我們學習到王后以斯帖和她如何拯救猶太人免於滅亡。以斯帖是個勇敢的女性,並且上帝對她的生命有著特別的計畫。
今日的靈修經文告訴我們以斯帖是如何成為王后。當許多年輕女孩被選出角逐王后尊位時,「希該是管宮院的太監。他很喜歡以斯帖,待她特別好,立刻供給她化粧用品和特殊的食物。」(第8b-9a節)當被選的女孩子去見王時,王「喜愛她勝過其他任何少女;她比其他任何一個女子更贏得王的恩寵。」(第17a節)
透過這些經文,我們可以看見上帝在以斯帖身上的工作,祂幫助以斯帖成功,並且完成祂的計畫。上帝對你的人生也有計畫,或許現在你並不了解,但是上帝會在你身上工作,並且幫助你為祂做大事。
像以斯帖般地相信祂!上帝會幫助你成功。—DB*
「於是,王把王后的冠冕戴在她頭上,立她為后。」
以斯帖2:17b
禱告:主,我知道祢愛我,並且對我的人生有計畫,幫助我今天就順服祢。奉耶穌的名,阿們!

Bible Reading: Esther 2:1-18
Saturday, February 7, 2016
For the past two days we have learned about Queen Esther and how she saved the Jews from destruction. She was a brave woman, and God had a special plan for her life.
Our Bible verses today tell us how Esther became queen. Many young women were chosen to compete for the honor of being the queen. “Hegai was in charge of the kings' women. He liked Esther. She became his favorite, so he quickly gave Esther beauty treatments and special food” (verses 8b-9a). When the women were presented to the king, he “loved Esther more than any of the other young women, and she became his favorite” (verse 17a).
Through all of these verses, we can see that God was working in Esther's life. He helped her succeed and fulfill His plan. God has a plan for your life, too. Maybe right now you don't understand His plan. But God will work in your life and help you do great things for Him.
Trust God like Esther did! God will help you succeed. —DB* *
“So King Xerxes put a crown on Esther's head and made her the new queen.”
Esther 2:17b
PRAYER: Lord, I know that You love me and have a plan for my life. Help me to obey You today. In Jesus' name. Amen.
