特別的一天 2013年 09月 4日 - 讀經: 路加福音11章1-4節 這是上主所定的日子。 —聖詠118篇24節 全年讀經: 聖詠143-145篇 格林多前書14章21-40節 9月4日這一天有什麼特別嗎？這天或許是你的生日或週年紀念日，因此變得與眾不同。不然你可以紀念在這天發生的歷史事蹟。例如，626年的這一天，唐朝李世民即位，開始了23年的貞觀之治。或在1888年，美國柯達公司，取得了膠卷式相機的專利，並註冊柯達的商標。假如你是網路迷，可以歡慶由美國兩名史丹福大學的學生開發的谷歌搜索器，於1998年的這一天誕生，為網路世界掀開新的一頁。 如果上述事件都不足以使你的9月4日變得特別。試試這些理由： 今天上主給了你一個新的機會來讚美祂。聖詠118篇24節說：「這是上主所定的日子，我們在其中要高興歡喜。」 今天上主供應你，並要你信任祂。「我們日用的飲食，天天賜給我們。」（路加福音11章3節） 今天上主要透過祂的話語對你說話。在庇哩亞的信徒「天天考查聖經」（宗徒大事錄17章11節）。 今天上主要更新你的內心。「內心卻一天新似一天」（格林多後書4章16節）。 有上主的指引，無論是9月4日，或每一天都可以是特別的。 今天是主所定日子， 祂所分別為聖， 諸天歡呼，大地快樂， 齊來主前讚頌。 天天讚美上主，日日有新理由。 1有一次，耶穌在一個地方祈禱，停止以後，他的一個門徒對他說：「主，請教給我們祈禱，如同若翰教給了他的門徒一樣。」 1One day Jesus was praying in a certain place and when he had finished, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples." 2耶穌給他們說：「你們祈禱時要說：父啊！願你的名被尊為聖！願你的國來臨！ 2And Jesus said to them, "When you pray, say this: Father, hallowed be your name, may your kingdom come, 3我們的日用糧，求你天天賜給我們！ 3give us each day the kind of bread we need, 4寬免我們的罪過，因為我們自己也寬免所有虧負我們的人；不要讓我們陷入誘惑。」 4and forgive us our sins, for we also forgive all who do us wrong, and do not bring us to the test." A Special Day September 4, 2013 — What’s special about September 4? Perhaps it’s your birthday or anniversary. That would make it special. Or maybe you could celebrate the historic events of this day. For instance, in 1781, the city of Los Angeles, California, was founded. Or this: In 1993, Jim Abbott, a pitcher for the New York Yankees, didn’t let anyone get a hit off his pitches—and he was born without a right hand. Or if you’re a TV fan: In 1951, the first live US coast-to-coast television broadcast was aired from San Francisco. But what if none of these events and facts seem to make your September 4 special? Try these ideas: Today God gives you a new opportunity to praise Him.Psalm 118:24 says, “This is the day the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” Today God provides for you and wants your trust.“Give us day by day our daily bread” (Luke 11:3). Today God wants to speak to you through His Word.The believers at Berea “searched the Scriptures daily” (Acts 17:11). Today God desires to renew your inner person. “The inward man is being renewed day by day” (2 Cor. 4:16). With God as your guide, September 4—and every day—can be special. This is the day the Lord hath made, He calls the hours His own; Let heaven rejoice, let earth be glad, And praise surround the throne. —Watts Each new day gives us new reasons to praise the Lord.
