箴言 (9)
聖經閱讀：箴言20:24現代中譯本|合和本
2016年11月10日(四)

在我小時候，家人跟我出門常常搭公車，我們必須從家裡走到公車站去搭車。
當前往公車站時，我們會沿著溪邊走，有時候爸媽會停下來讓我到溪裡玩水，我會找一些草、紙片、樹枝讓水漂走，有時候這些東西會卡在石頭縫裡形成小水堤，這時水流就必須找不同的路徑往下流。
今天的經文閱讀說：「上主決定我們人生道路，誰能知道自己的行程呢？」有時候靠近我們家的溪水必須轉向、走不同的路徑，同理，上帝也會在生命中帶領我們做不同的事。當我們上了年紀，可以回頭看看自己的生命，會驚訝上帝過去如何帶領我們、祝福我們。
今天你要依照上帝希望的方式生活，祂會祝福你並帶領你在祂的國度裡服事。 ？ —BR

「你是我的避難所，我的堡壘；求你照你的應許帶領我。」 詩篇31:3

禱告：親愛的天父，謝謝祢賜下祝福，謝謝祢天天帶領我。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

Proverbs (9)
Bible Reading: Proverbs 20:24
Thursday, November 10, 2016

　When I was young, my family and I traveled a lot by bus. We had to walk from our house to the bus stop to get on the bus. As we went to the bus stop, we walked beside a creek. Sometimes my parents would stop and let me play in the creek. I would find bits of grass, paper and sticks and float them in the water. Often these bits would get caught on a stone and create a little dam. Then the water had to find a different way to continue flowing downstream.
Our Bible Reading today says, “The Lord guides our steps, and we never know where he will lead us.” Sometimes the water flowing in the creek near my house had to turn and follow a different path. In the same way, God leads us to do different things in life. When we become old, we may look back on our lives and be amazed at how God has led us and blessed us.
Live how God wants you to live today. He will bless you and guide you to serve in His kingdom. —BR

“Yes, you are my Rock and my protection. For the good of your name, lead me and guide me.” Psalm 31:3

PRAYER: Dear Father, thank You for Your blessings and for guiding me every day. In Jesus' name. Amen.
