聖經閱讀：創世記22:1-14 現代中譯本|合和本

有一次我到河裡泛舟，有一個領隊，還有其他三個人跟我一起同船。那位領帶很準確地告訴我們什麼時候要划、什麼時候要停，當我們靠近急流時，領隊會教我們如何做旋轉的動作來通過急流，我們也確實照著領隊教我們的去做，這真的很有趣！但是如果不按照領隊的話去做，我們一定會撞到石頭、摔到水裡。
在今天閱讀的經文中，我們知道了亞伯拉罕的一些事蹟，上帝要求亞伯拉罕將兒子以撒獻祭給祂，對亞伯拉罕來說，這一定是一件很難去做的事。但是亞伯拉罕完全順服上帝，然後上帝就阻止亞伯拉罕殺死兒子，上帝非常喜悅亞伯拉罕的順服。
上帝也許不會要求我們犧牲自己的孩子，但是祂的確會要求我們順服祂。今天就順服上帝，祂會感到高興並祝福你。 —MP*
「由於信心，亞伯拉罕在上帝考驗他的時候，把兒子以撒獻上，當作祭物。亞伯拉罕乃是領受上帝應許的人。」

Bible Reading: Genesis 22:1-14
Monday, September 26, 2016
Once I went rafting on a river. A leader and three other paddlers were in the boat with me. The leader told us exactly when to paddle and when to stop. As we neared a rapid, the leader told us how to make a complete spin as we were going through the rapid. We did exactly what the leader told us to do. It was a lot of fun! But if we had not followed the leader, we could have hit a rock and been thrown into the water.
In our Bible Reading, we learn about Abraham. God asked Abraham to sacrifice his son, Isaac. That must have been a very difficult thing for Abraham to do. But Abraham obeyed God completely. Then God stopped Abraham before he killed Isaac. God was very pleased with Abraham’s obedience.
God may not ask us to sacrifice our children, but He does ask us to obey Him. Obey God today, and He will be happy and bless you. —MP*
“God tested Abraham's faith. God told him to offer Isaac as a sacrifice. Abraham obeyed because he had faith. He already had the promises from God.”
Hebrews 11:17-18a
PRAYER: Father, I want to be like Abraham and obey You. In Jesus' name. Amen.
