聖經閱讀:哥林多前書10:12-13 現代中譯本|合和本
2016年11月15日(二)
晾衣服的時候,我養的狗和貓會跑到屋外來陪伴我。
我的貓喜歡跳進放乾淨、摺好的衣服的籃子裡,然後牠喜歡在衣服上翻滾。我的貓知道牠不應該跑進籃子裡,只要我的狗靠近,貓就會避開籃子,但只要狗一離開視線,貓就會偷偷地靠近籃子,然後牠會磨蹭籃子,用爪子去碰衣服,最後,牠會很小心地的溜進籃子裡。
我們常常會像我的貓一樣,生活中有許多引誘我們犯罪的事,我們知道要避開這些事,但我們卻盡可能接近這些試探,然後屈服於試探。今天閱讀的經文告訴我們一個好消息,就是上帝會賜給我們一個避免試探的方法。
當你受試探去犯罪的時候,記得你可以抗拒試探,你要倚靠上帝和祂的話語來幫助祢! —LL
「當試探來的時候,他會給你們力量,使你們擔當得起,替你們打開一條出路」
哥林多前書10:13b
禱告:上帝,謝謝祢今天幫助我抗拒試探。奉耶穌的名,阿們!
(李信儀譯)
Temptation
Bible Reading: 1 Corinthians 10:12-13
Tuesday, November 15, 2016
When I hang clothes on my clothesline, my dog and cat go outside with me.
My cat likes to jump into the basket where I have folded the clean clothes. Then she loves to roll around on the clothes. My cat knows that she is not supposed to get into the basket. As long as my dog is near, the cat will avoid the basket. But as soon as the dog is out of sight, the cat will sneak closer and closer. Then she rubs against the basket and starts touching the clothes with her paw. Finally, she will very carefully crawl into the basket.
Many times we are like my cat. There are things in life that tempt us to sin. We know we should avoid them, but we get as close as we can and then we give in to the temptation. Our Bible Reading today tells us some good news: God will give us a way to escape the temptations we face.
When you are tempted to sin, remember that you can resist the temptation. Depend on God and His Word to help you! —LL
“But when you are tempted, God will also give you a way to escape that temptation. Then you will be able to endure it.”
1 Corinthians 10:13b
PRAYER: God, thank You for helping me resist temptation today. In Jesus' name. Amen.
