高大或瘦小?

高大或瘦小?
聖經閱讀：撒母耳記上17:41-49 現代中譯本|合和本

　我發現很多人會談論太陽有多大、有多麼重要，從創世記1:16我們得知：「上帝創造了兩個大光體」，就是太陽和月亮。也許月亮比太陽小很多，但是上帝不但創造了太陽也創造了月亮，它們彼此分工，讓我們可以在地球上生活。
這件事讓我想起今天閱讀的經文。歌利亞是一個身高超過270公分的人（撒母耳記上17:4）！但上帝卻幫助了一個叫大衛的小男孩去擊殺歌利亞，上帝原本可以揀選一個強壯、高大的戰士去對抗歌利亞，但祂卻揀選了一個愛祂、事奉祂的牧羊孩子。
上帝創造了我們每一個人，也已經賜給我們事奉祂的方式，上帝並不在乎我們是高、還是矮，是高大、還是瘦小，對上帝來說，我們每一個人都重要，祂可以用很棒的方式來使用我們。
記得上帝與大衛同在，祂今天也會與你同在，就讓祂來幫助你在祂的國度裡成就大事。 —KG

「今天，上主要把你交在我手裡。我要打敗你…這樣，普天下就知道以色列有一位上帝。」 撒母耳記上17:46

禱告：天父，求祢讓我知道今天如何事奉你。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

Big or Small?
Bible Reading: 1 Samuel 17:41-49
Saturday, May 14, 2016

　I have noticed that many people talk about how big and important the sun is. In Genesis 1:16 we learn that “God made the two large lights” — the sun and the moon. The moon may be much smaller than the sun, but God made both the sun and the moon. And they each help to make it possible for us to live on the earth.
This reminds me of our Bible Reading today. Goliath was over nine feet tall (1 Samuel 17:4)! But God helped a young boy named David to kill Goliath. God could have chosen a strong, mighty warrior to go against Goliath. Instead, God chose a shepherd boy who loved and served Him.
God made each of us, and He has given us ways we can serve Him. It does not matter to God if we are tall or short, big or small. We are all important to God, and He can use us in great ways.
Remember that God was with David, and He will be with you today, too. Allow Him to help you do great things for His kingdom! —KG

“Today the Lord will help me defeat you...Then all the world will know there is a God in Israel.” 1 Samuel 17:46

PRAYER: Father, show me how I can serve You today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
