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.
诗篇 119:41-48
41 耶和华啊，愿祢照祢的话，使祢的慈爱，就是祢的救恩，临到我身上。
42 我就有话回答那羞辱我的，因我倚靠祢的话。
43 求祢叫真理的话总不离开我口，因我仰望祢的典章。
44 我要常守祢的律法，直到永永远远。
45 我要自由而行，因我素来考究你的训词。
46 我也要在君王面前论说祢的法度，并不至于羞愧。
47 我要在你的命令中自乐，这命令素来是我所爱的。
48 我又要遵行祢的命令，这命令素来是我所爱的，我也要思想祢的律例。
Vav 自由的行走在宽阔之地（诗119:41-48）
遵行神的律法，让我们脱离罪恶的綑绑，去除老我的缠累，自由的行走在宽阔之地；我们喜爱祂的命令，思想且遵行，因为它带来救恩与应许。
Hi GAMErs,
Today’s passage is Acts 17:1-15. 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 17:1-9 (NIV)
When Paul and his companions had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue. 2 As was his custom, Paul went into the synagogue, and on three Sabbath days he reasoned with them from the Scriptures, 3 explaining and proving that the Messiah had to suffer and rise from the dead. “This Jesus I am proclaiming to you is the Messiah,” he said. 4 Some of the Jews were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, as did a large number of God-fearing Greeks and quite a few prominent women.
The second half of the book of Acts is showing us these great pictures of God’s salvation. Acts 17 is going to show how God is saving his people and the kind of heart needed to respond. You may remember that Jesus told a parable that is the parable of the sower in Mark 4. The parable pictures a sower scattering seed across all kinds of different soils. Jesus explains that the parable as the sower sowing the word and the different soils as the different responses that happen from proclaiming the message of God (cf. Mark 4:14). So the parable is about considering if your life is guided by God’s word.
诗篇 119 : 33-40
33 耶和华啊，求祢将祢的律例指教我，我必遵守到底。
34 求祢赐我悟性，我便遵守祢的律法，且要一心遵守。
35 求祢叫我遵行祢的命令，因为这是我所喜乐的。
36 求祢使我的心趋向祢的法度，不趋向非义之财。
37 求祢叫我转眼不看虚假，又叫我在祢的道中生活。
38 祢向敬畏祢的人所应许的话，求祢向仆人坚定。
39 求祢使我所怕的羞辱远离我，因祢的典章本为美。
40 我羡慕祢的训词，求祢使我在祢的公义上生活。
遵行神的律法不在于「我可以遵行」，而在于「神教导引领」；求神教导律例，赐我悟性，引领我遵行，使我的心趋向神，与神对齐。
Hi GAMErs,
Today’s passage is Acts 16:25-40. 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 16:25-36 (NIV)
25 About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.
26 Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everybody’s chains came loose.
27 The jailer woke up, and when he saw the prison doors open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself because he thought the prisoners had escaped.
28 But Paul shouted, “Don’t harm yourself! We are all here!”
29 The jailer called for lights, rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas.
On verses 25-36: Here we see why God allowed Paul and Silas to be flogged and imprisoned. It wasn’t because God was cruel, distant or indifferent. Rather God allowed this painful situation so that Paul, Silas and everyone in the prison with them, especially a lost jailer, could witness God’s incredible saving power. Not only did God save his servants from prison, but even more God used the situation so that the jailer and his family could receive Jesus and be saved from hell.
Hi GAMErs,
Today’s passage is Acts 16:1-12. 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 16:1-3 (NIV)
1 He came to Derbe and then to Lystra, where a disciple named Timothy lived, whose mother was a Jewess and a believer, but whose father was a Greek.
2 The brothers at Lystra and Iconium spoke well of him.
3 Paul wanted to take him along on the journey, so he circumcised him because of the Jews who lived in that area, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
On verses 1-3: Lystra was the city where Paul experienced some of the worst persecution of his life. He was stoned and almost killed in Lystra (Acts 14:19). Yet Paul never gave up on Lystra and continued to reach and care for the believers there. Eventually in Lystra Paul would meet Timothy, who would become one of his dearest sons in the faith and one of his most important teammates. It goes to show that when you don’t give up on the place God has called you to, great things will happen eventually. You just need to last long enough to see it.
诗篇 119 : 25-32
25 我的性命几乎归于尘土，求祢照祢的话将我救活。
26 我述说我所行的，祢应允了我，求祢将你的律例教训我。
27 求祢使我明白祢的训词，我就思想祢的奇事。
28 我的心因愁苦而消化，求祢照祢的话使我坚立。
29 求祢使我离开奸诈的道，开恩将祢的律法赐给我。
30 我拣选了忠信的道，将祢的典章摆在我面前。
31 我持守祢的法度，耶和华啊，求祢不要叫我羞愧！
32 你开广我心的时候，我就往祢命令的道上直奔。
Dalet 诗篇 119 : 25-32
在逆境中，
祢的话救活我们几乎归于尘土的性命，
祢的话坚立我们因愁苦而消化的心灵。
在抉择时，
祢的律法带我们离开奸诈的道，
祢的典章领我们拣选忠信的道。
诗篇 119 : 17-24
17 求祢用厚恩待祢的仆人，使我存活，我就遵守祢的话。
18 求祢开我的眼睛，使我看出祢律法中的奇妙。
19 我是在地上作寄居的；求祢不要向我隐瞒祢的命令！
20 我时常切慕祢的典章，甚至心碎。
21 受咒诅、偏离祢命令的骄傲人，祢已经责备他们。
22 求祢除掉我所受的羞辱和藐视，因我遵守祢的法度。
23 虽有首领坐着妄论我，祢仆人却思想祢的律例。
24 祢的法度是我所喜乐的，是我的谋士。
Gimmel 诗篇 119 : 17-24
遵行神的话语将我们围护在神的恩典与应许中，让我们远离受咒诅、偏离神命令的骄傲人，除掉我们所受的羞辱和藐视，我们眼睛必看见神律法中的奇妙。神的话语是我的谋士，是我所喜乐的。
你的眼目要向前正看；你的眼睛（原文是皮）当向前直观。要修平你脚下的路，坚定你一切的道。不可偏向左右；要使你的脚离开邪恶。（箴4:25-27）
