被拯救 (1)
聖經閱讀：詩篇31:1-5 現代中譯本|合和本
2016年6月16日(四)

你也許在電視上看過這樣的新聞，說有一隻小貓爬上樹，然後太害怕而不敢下來，小貓坐在樹枝上，喵喵叫著要人來幫助牠。通常故事的結束是一個消防員或是其他人爬上梯子救了小貓。
大家都像那隻小貓一樣，因為我們都受困在罪的生活中，罪控制著我們，而我們無法拯救自己，但是我們讚美上帝差派耶穌到世上來拯救我們，祂在十字架上的死與復活將我們從罪中拯救出來。
今天閱讀的經文是一個尋求幫助的呼求，第5節中作者對上帝說：「我把自己的靈魂交在你手裡；上主─信實的上帝啊，你會拯救我。」當我們請求上帝把我們從罪中拯救出來時，祂就會拯救我們，並且使我們成為祂的兒女。
如果今天你被困在罪中，要回轉向上帝，請求祂幫助你了解要如何跟隨祂並且遵行祂的話語。 —GT

「上主啊，我尋求你的庇護；求你使我永不失敗。你是公義的上帝；求你拯救我！求你垂聽我的祈求，立刻拯救我！」 詩篇31:1-2a

禱告：親愛的上帝，祢令人讚嘆，謝謝祢差派耶穌將我從罪中拯救出來。奉主的名，阿們！

Bible Reading: Psalm 31:1-5
Thursday, June 16, 2016

　You have probably seen a news story on TV about a little kitten that has climbed a tree and is too frightened to climb down. The kitten sits on a branch and meows for someone to help him. Usually the story ends with a fireman or some other person climbing a ladder and rescuing the kitten.
We are all like that kitten. We are trapped in life by sin. Sin controls us, and we can't rescue ourselves. But praise God that He sent Jesus to earth to rescue us. His death on the cross and resurrection rescued us from sin.
Our Bible verses for today are a cry for help. In verse 5 the writer says to God, “Lord, you are the God we can trust. I put my life in your hands. Save me!” When we ask God to rescue us from sin, He will save us and make us one of His children.
If you are trapped in sin today, turn to God. Ask Him to help you understand how you can follow and obey His Word. —GT

“Lord, I come to you for protection. Don't let me be disappointed. You always do what is right, so save me. Listen to me. Come quickly and save me.” Psalm 31:1-2a

PRAYER: Dear God, You are awesome. Thank You for sending Jesus to rescue me from my sin. In His name. Amen.
