聖經閱讀：雅各書4:13-16 現代中譯本|合和本
2016年8月3日(三)

　在開車去聽障事工上班的時候，有幾個早上外面起了霧，我也許要在濃霧中開好幾公里的路，然後霧會突然間完全不見，讓我可以看見耀眼的陽光。
在今天的經文閱讀中，雅各談到了霧，他在第14節說：「你們連明天還活著沒有都不曉得！你們不過像一層霧，出現一會兒就不見了。」雅各是在談生命的短暫，跟永恆比較起來，我們在世上的生命是很短暫的。
就因為生命是短暫的，所以我們要善用時間，而不要浪費時間在擔心如何得到更多的錢財或名聲，反而要思考如何順服上帝，以及如何讓人認識耶穌和祂的救贖計劃。
上帝把今天賜給了你，你不知道明天會發生什麼事，就好好利用今天來服事並榮耀上帝吧！ —JK

「你使我的生命那麼短促！在你眼中，我一生的歲月幾乎等於零。生命不過像一口氣息。」 詩篇39:5a

禱告：上帝，今天我願為祢善用時間。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

Bible Reading: James 4:13-16
Wednesday, August 3, 2016

　Some mornings when I drive to Deaf Missions, it is foggy outside. I may drive through dense fog for miles. Then suddenly the fog is completely gone and I can see the sun shining.
In our Bible Reading today, James talked about fog. In verse 14 he said, “You don’t know what will happen tomorrow. Your life is like a fog. You can see it for a short time, but then it goes away.” James is talking about the shortness of life. When compared to eternity, our lives on earth are very short.
Because our lives are short, we should use our time wisely. We should not waste our time worrying about getting more money or possessions or fame. Instead, we should think about obeying God and teaching other people about Jesus and His plan of salvation.
God has given you this day. You don’t know what may happen tomorrow. Use today to serve and glorify God! —JK

“You gave me only a short life. Compared to you, my whole life is nothing. The life of every human is like a cloud that quickly disappears.” Psalm 39:5a

PRAYER: God, I want to use my time wisely for You today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
