上帝在我們裡面

上帝在我們裡面
聖經閱讀：腓立比書2:12-13 現代中譯本|合和本
2016年10月26日(三）

　以利沙砍了一根枝子、丟進水裏，斧子的頭就浮了上來（列王紀下6:1-7）。以色列人繞行耶利哥城、吹著號角並大聲吶喊，然後城牆就倒塌了（約書亞記6:20）。
以上這兩個事件有什麼相同的地方呢？這兩者都是神蹟。在兩個事件中，上帝在惡劣的情況中，用祂的大能使情況變好。一般來說，用鐵作的斧頭不會浮在水面上，人繞著城走也不會讓城牆倒塌，但是當我們倚靠上帝來幫助我們時，奇妙的事就會發生。
今天經文閱讀的第13節提醒我們，上帝在我們的生命中動工，「上帝常常在你們心裡工作，使你們既願意又能夠實行他美善的旨意」(第13b節)。 基督徒和上帝是一個團隊，一起同工在上帝的國度裡成就大事！
今天就讓上帝在你的生命動工來尊貴祂、榮耀祂。 — BL

「工作有多種，卻是同一位上帝賜給每人工作的能力。」 哥林多前書12:6

禱告：天父，求祢今天在我的生命中動工，為祢成就大事。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

God in Us
Bible Reading: Philippians 2:12-13
Wednesday, October 26, 2016

Elisha threw a stick into the water and a lost ax head floated to the top of the water (2 Kings 6:1-7). The Israelites marched around the city of Jericho, blowing trumpets and shouting, and the walls of the city fell down (Joshua 6:20). What do these two events have in common? They are both miracles. In each case, God took a bad situation and used His power to make it better. Normally, iron ax heads don't float on the water and people marching around a city do not cause walls to fall down. But when we depend on God to help us, wonderful things can happen.
Verse 13 of our Bible Reading reminds us that God works in our lives. “He helps you want to do what pleases him, and he gives you the power to do it” (verse 13b). God and Christians are a team, working together to make great things happen in His kingdom!
Allow God to work in your life today to bring honor and glory to Him. —BL

“And there are different ways that God works in people, but it is the same God who works in all of us to do everything.” 1 Corinthians 12:6

PRAYER: Father, please work in my life today to do great things for You. In Jesus' name. Amen.
