诗篇 119:81-88
81 我心渴想祢的救恩，仰望祢的应许。
82 我因盼望祢的应许眼睛失明，说：「祢何时安慰我？」
83 我好像烟薰的皮袋，却不忘记祢的律例。
84 祢仆人的年日有多少呢？祢几时向逼迫我的人施行审判呢？
85 不从祢律法的骄傲人，为我掘了坑。
86 祢的命令尽都诚实，他们无理地逼迫我，求祢帮助我。
87 他们几乎把我从世上灭绝，但我没有离弃祢的训词。
88 求祢照祢的慈爱将我救活，我就遵守祢口中的法度。
Kaf 受逼迫中，遵守神的法度，渴想神的救恩与应许（诗119:81-88）
「烟薰的皮袋」意指黝黑、干皱、不柔软，甚至即将破裂的外貌。
受逼迫中，我们渴想神的救恩，仰望神的应许，盼望神的安慰；我们的年日虽有限，几乎从世上被灭绝，但我们没有离弃神的训词、法度，我们相信神将照祂丰盛的慈爱与怜悯将我们救活！
Hi GAMErs,
Today’s passage is Acts 19:13-27. As usual, I encourage you to read the passage yourself first and see what you can glean with the Holy Spirit’s help, then read the GAME sharing below. Let’s go!
Acts 19:13-17 (NIV)
13 Some Jews who went around driving out evil spirits tried to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who were demon-possessed. They would say, “In the name of Jesus, whom Paul preaches, I command you to come out.”
14 Seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, were doing this.
15 [One day] the evil spirit answered them, “Jesus I know, and I know about Paul, but who are you?”
16 Then the man who had the evil spirit jumped on them and overpowered them all. He gave them such a beating that they ran out of the house naked and bleeding.
17 When this became known to the Jews and Greeks living in Ephesus, they were all seized with fear, and the name of the Lord Jesus was held in high honor.
On verses 13-17: Throughout Acts we see the power of Jesus’ name to heal sickness and to drive out demons. So why in Acts 19:13-16 were the seven sons of Sceva unable to drive out an evil spirit even though they invoked the name of Jesus?
Hi GAMErs,
Today’s passage is Acts 19:1-12. As usual, I encourage you to read the passage yourself first and see what you can glean with the Holy Spirit’s help, then read the GAME sharing below. Let’s go!
Acts 19:1-7 (NIV)
1 While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul took the road through the interior and arrived at Ephesus. There he found some disciples
2 and asked them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” They answered, “No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”
3 So Paul asked, “Then what baptism did you receive?” “John’s baptism,” they replied.
4 Paul said, “John’s baptism was a baptism of repentance. He told the people to believe in the one coming after him, that is, in Jesus.”
5 On hearing this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.
6 When Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied.
7 There were about twelve men in all.
On verses 1-7: Here Apollos and Paul end up switching places. Apollos goes to Corinth and Paul goes to Ephesus. In Ephesus Paul finds 12 men who had received “John’s baptism”, which is probably referring to a baptism where the person being baptized says, “I am turning from my sins and I wait for God’s Messiah to come”.
诗篇 119:73-80
73 祢的手制造我，建立我，求祢赐我悟性，可以学习祢的命令。
74 敬畏祢的人见我就要欢喜，因我仰望祢的话。
75 耶和华啊，我知道祢的判语是公义的，祢使我受苦是以诚实待我。
76 求祢照着应许仆人的话，以慈爱安慰我。
77 愿祢的慈悲临到我，使我存活，因祢的律法是我所喜爱的。
78 愿骄傲人蒙羞，因为他们无理地倾覆我，但我要思想祢的训词。
79 愿敬畏祢的人归向我，他们就知道祢的法度。
80 愿我的心在祢的律例上完全，使我不致蒙羞。
Yod 求神塑造我，建立我，赐我悟性来学习祂的命令（诗119:73-80）
耶和华说：「以色列家啊，我待你们，岂不能照这窑匠弄泥吗？以色列家啊，泥在窑匠的手中怎样，你们在我的手中也怎样。我何时论到一邦或一国说，要拔出、拆毁、毁坏；我所说的那一邦，若是转意离开他们的恶，我就必后悔，不将我想要施行的灾祸降与他们。我何时论到一邦或一国说，要建立、栽植；他们若行我眼中看为恶的事，不听从我的话，我就必后悔，不将我所说的福气赐给他们。（耶18:6-10）
Hi GAMErs,
Today’s passage is Acts 18:12-28. As usual, I encourage you to read the passage yourself first and see what you can glean with the Holy Spirit’s help, then read the GAME sharing below. Let’s go!
Acts 18:12-17 (NIV)
12 While Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews made a united attack on Paul and brought him into court.
13 “This man,” they charged, “is persuading the people to worship God in ways contrary to the law.”
14 Just as Paul was about to speak, Gallio said to the Jews, “If you Jews were making a complaint about some misdemeanor or serious crime, it would be reasonable for me to listen to you.
15 But since it involves questions about words and names and your own law–settle the matter yourselves. I will not be a judge of such things.”
16 So he had them ejected from the court.
17 Then they all turned on Sosthenes the synagogue ruler and beat him in front of the court. But Gallio showed no concern whatever.
On verses 12-17: In the past, in virtually every city where Paul preached the gospel, Paul faced persecution and harassment. But while Paul was in Corinth, the Lord said to Paul, “Do not be afraid…I am with you, and no one is going to attack and harm you, because I have many people in this city”.
诗篇 119:65-72
65 耶和华啊，祢向来是照祢的话善待仆人。
66 求祢将精明和知识赐给我，因我信了祢的命令。
67 我未受苦以先走迷了路，现在却遵守祢的话。
68 祢本为善，所行的也善，求祢将祢的律例教训我。
69 骄傲人编造谎言攻击我，我却要一心守祢的训词。
70 他们心蒙脂油，我却喜爱祢的律法。
71 我受苦是与我有益，为要使我学习祢的律例。
72 祢口中的训言与我有益，胜于千万的金银。
Tet 受苦中得着精明和知识，领悟神的话语（诗119:65-72）
…主的眼看顾义人；主的耳听他们的祈祷。惟有行恶的人，主向他们变脸。你们若是热心行善，有谁害你们呢？你们就是为义受苦，也是有福的。不要怕人的威吓，也不要惊慌；只要心里尊主基督为圣。…神的旨意若是叫你们因行善受苦，总强如因行恶受苦。（彼前3:12-17）
诗篇 119:57-64
57 耶和华是我的福分，我曾说，我要遵守祢的言语。
58 我一心求过祢的恩，愿祢照祢的话怜悯我。
59 我思想我所行的道，就转步归向祢的法度。
60 我急忙遵守祢的命令，并不迟延。
61 恶人的绳索缠绕我，我却没有忘记祢的律法。
62 我因祢公义的典章，半夜必起来称谢祢。
63 凡敬畏祢、守祢训词的人，我都与他做伴。
64 耶和华啊，祢的慈爱遍满大地，求祢将祢的律例教训我。
Chet 在神的恩典和怜悯中遵行遵守祂的话（诗119:57-64）
我遵守神的话，因祂是我福分，我寻求神的恩，因祂怜悯我；
我思想且转步归向神，我遵守命令并不迟延，我与敬畏祢、守祢训词的人同伴。
Hi GAMErs,
Today’s passage is Acts 18:1-11. As usual, I encourage you to read the passage yourself first and see what you can glean with the Holy Spirit’s help, then read the GAME sharing below. Let’s go!
Acts 18:1-3 (NIV)
1 After this, Paul left Athens and went to Corinth.
2 There he met a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to leave Rome. Paul went to see them,
3 and because he was a tentmaker as they were, he stayed and worked with them.
On verses 1-3: Paul, Aquila and Priscilla had a lot in common: they had all recently moved to Corinth (Paul from Athens, Aquila and Priscilla from Rome); they were all tentmakers; they were all Jewish by heritage; and there is a good chance that Aquila and Priscilla were already Christians by the time they met Paul. With so much in common, it made sense to them to go into business together.
诗篇 119:49-56
49 求祢记念向祢仆人所应许的话，叫我有盼望。
50 这话将我救活了，我在患难中因此得安慰。
51 骄傲的人甚侮慢我，我却未曾偏离祢的律法。
52 耶和华啊，我记念祢从古以来的典章，就得了安慰。
53 我见恶人离弃祢的律法，就怒气发作，犹如火烧。
54 我在世寄居，素来以祢的律例为诗歌。
55 耶和华啊，我夜间记念祢的名，遵守祢的律法。
56 我所以如此，是因我守祢的训词。
Zayin 依靠神的话语，在患难中得安慰（诗119:49-56）
上帝未曾忘记祂的应许，患难中我们满有盼望，
因着应许我们经历救恩，患难中我们得着安慰；
在世短暂寄居中，我们以神的律例为诗歌，
夜间疲乏安歇时，我们记念神的名为满足。
Hi GAMErs,
Today’s passage is Acts 17:16-34. As usual, I encourage you to read the passage yourself first and see what you can glean with the Holy Spirit’s help, then read the GAME sharing below. Let’s go!
Acts 17:16-17 (NIV)
16 While Paul was waiting for them in Athens, he was greatly distressed to see that the city was full of idols.
17 So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the God-fearing Greeks, as well as in the marketplace day by day with those who happened to be there.
On verses 16-17: Because Paul was distressed to see so many idols being worshiped in Athens, Paul decided to do something about it. He begins to preach about Jesus in the synagogue and marketplace of Athens.
What can we learn from Paul’s example? When you are distressed by something that you see, don’t just complain about it or be frustrated by it. With your time and your talents, do something productive in light of it.
