詩篇 119:57-64
57 耶和華是我的福分，我曾說，我要遵守祢的言語。
58 我一心求過祢的恩，願祢照祢的話憐憫我。
59 我思想我所行的道，就轉步歸向祢的法度。
60 我急忙遵守祢的命令，並不遲延。
61 惡人的繩索纏繞我，我卻沒有忘記祢的律法。
62 我因祢公義的典章，半夜必起來稱謝祢。
63 凡敬畏祢、守祢訓詞的人，我都與他做伴。
64 耶和華啊，祢的慈愛遍滿大地，求祢將祢的律例教訓我。
Chet 在神的恩典和憐憫中遵行遵守祂的話（詩119:57-64）
我遵守神的話，因祂是我福分，我尋求神的恩，因祂憐憫我；
我思想且轉步歸向神，我遵守命令並不遲延，我與敬畏祢、守祢訓詞的人同伴。
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.
詩篇 119:49-56
49 求祢記念向祢僕人所應許的話，叫我有盼望。
50 這話將我救活了，我在患難中因此得安慰。
51 驕傲的人甚侮慢我，我卻未曾偏離祢的律法。
52 耶和華啊，我記念祢從古以來的典章，就得了安慰。
53 我見惡人離棄祢的律法，就怒氣發作，猶如火燒。
54 我在世寄居，素來以祢的律例為詩歌。
55 耶和華啊，我夜間記念祢的名，遵守祢的律法。
56 我所以如此，是因我守祢的訓詞。
Zayin 依靠神的話語，在患難中得安慰（詩119:49-56）
上帝未曾忘記祂的應許，患難中我們滿有盼望，
因著應許我們經歷救恩，患難中我們得著安慰；
在世短暫寄居中，我們以神的律例為詩歌，
夜間疲乏安歇時，我們記念神的名為滿足。
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.
詩篇 119:41-48
41 耶和華啊，願祢照祢的話，使祢的慈愛，就是祢的救恩，臨到我身上。
42 我就有話回答那羞辱我的，因我倚靠祢的話。
43 求祢叫真理的話總不離開我口，因我仰望祢的典章。
44 我要常守祢的律法，直到永永遠遠。
45 我要自由而行，因我素來考究你的訓詞。
46 我也要在君王面前論說祢的法度，並不至於羞愧。
47 我要在你的命令中自樂，這命令素來是我所愛的。
48 我又要遵行祢的命令，這命令素來是我所愛的，我也要思想祢的律例。
Vav 自由的行走在寬闊之地（詩119:41-48）
遵行神的律法，讓我們脫離罪惡的綑綁，去除老我的纏累，自由的行走在寬闊之地；我們喜愛祂的命令，思想且遵行，因為它帶來救恩與應許。
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.
詩篇 119 : 33-40
33 耶和華啊，求祢將祢的律例指教我，我必遵守到底。
34 求祢賜我悟性，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，因為這是我所喜樂的。
36 求祢使我的心趨向祢的法度，不趨向非義之財。
37 求祢叫我轉眼不看虛假，又叫我在祢的道中生活。
38 祢向敬畏祢的人所應許的話，求祢向僕人堅定。
39 求祢使我所怕的羞辱遠離我，因祢的典章本為美。
40 我羨慕祢的訓詞，求祢使我在祢的公義上生活。
遵行神的律法不在於「我可以遵行」，而在於「神教導引領」；求神教導律例，賜我悟性，引領我遵行，使我的心趨向神，與神對齊。
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.
詩篇 119 : 25-32
25 我的性命幾乎歸於塵土，求祢照祢的話將我救活。
26 我述說我所行的，祢應允了我，求祢將你的律例教訓我。
27 求祢使我明白祢的訓詞，我就思想祢的奇事。
28 我的心因愁苦而消化，求祢照祢的話使我堅立。
29 求祢使我離開奸詐的道，開恩將祢的律法賜給我。
30 我揀選了忠信的道，將祢的典章擺在我面前。
31 我持守祢的法度，耶和華啊，求祢不要叫我羞愧！
32 你開廣我心的時候，我就往祢命令的道上直奔。
Dalet 詩篇 119 : 25-32
在逆境中，
祢的話救活我們幾乎歸於塵土的性命，
祢的話堅立我們因愁苦而消化的心靈。
在抉擇時，
祢的律法帶我們離開奸詐的道，
祢的典章領我們揀選忠信的道。
