以赛亚书 12:3 所以你们必从救恩的泉源欢然取水。
以赛亚书 58:11 耶和华也必时常引导你，在干旱之地使你心满意足，骨头强壮。你必像浇灌的园子，又像水流不绝的泉源。
撒迦利亚书 13:1 「那日，必给大卫家和耶路撒冷的居民开一个泉源，洗除罪恶与污秽。」
神的泉源在干旱之地涌出，水流不绝，使我们心满意足，骨头强壮；洗除我们的罪恶与污秽，且在我们里头成为泉源，直涌到永生。
所以，我们要从救恩的泉源欢然取水。（赛12:3）

那日，必给大卫家和耶路撒冷的居民开一个泉源，洗除罪恶与污秽。（亚13:1）
Hi GAMErs,
Today’s passage is Song of Songs 3:1-11. 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!
Song of Songs 3:1-5 (NIV)
1 All night long on my bed I looked for the one my heart loves; I looked for him but did not find him.
2 I will get up now and go about the city, through its streets and squares; I will search for the one my heart loves. So I looked for him but did not find him.
3 The watchmen found me as they made their rounds in the city. “Have you seen the one my heart loves?”
4 Scarcely had I passed them when I found the one my heart loves. I held him and would not let him go till I had brought him to my mother’s house, to the room of the one who conceived me.
5 Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you by the gazelles and by the does of the field: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires.
On verses 1-5: All night long the girl is thinking about her boyfriend, whether consciously or in the form of a dream. When she finds him, there is the temptation to be sexually intimate with one another (v4), but once again she reminds herself: “Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires” (v5). The girl restrains herself and wisely tells herself to wait until after they’re married.
Hi GAMErs,
Today’s passage is Song of Songs 2:1-17. 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!
Song of Songs 2:1-2 (NIV)
1 I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys.
2 Like a lily among thorns is my darling among the maidens.
On verse 1: Affirmed by her lover’s words, the girl who once said, “Don’t look at me” (1:6) now calls herself a rose of Sharon, which is a beautiful, though common, lily of the valleys. In response, her lover says, “Like a lily among thorns is my darling among the maidens” (v2). In other words, “You, common? Nah girl. You’re beautiful and exceptional. There’s no one like you.”
What can we learn from this? One of the best things you can do to love someone is to help them see that they are uniquely beautiful.
诗篇 84:5-7
5 靠祢有力量，心中想往锡安大道的，这人便为有福！
6 他们经过流泪谷，叫这谷变为泉源之地，并有秋雨之福盖满了全谷。
7 他们行走，力上加力，各人到锡安朝见神。
神的泉源涌出山谷，流入山间，走兽有水喝，野驴得解渴，飞鸟宿水旁，地得丰足。向往锡安朝见神的人，他们行走，力上加力，流泪谷成为泉源之地，秋雨之福盖满了全谷。
让我们歌唱，跳舞…我的泉源都在你里面。（诗87:7）
靠祢有力量、心中想往锡安大道的，这人便为有福！他们经过流泪谷，叫这谷变为泉源之地；并有秋雨之福盖满了全谷。他们行走，力上加力，各人到锡安朝见神。（诗84:5-7）
哥林多后书 4:18 原来我们不是顾念所见的，乃是顾念所不见的，因为所见的是暂时的，所不见的是永远的。
罗马书 8:24-25 我们得救是在乎盼望。只是所见的盼望不是盼望。谁还盼望他所见的呢？ 25 但我们若盼望那所不见的，就必忍耐等候。
所见的是暂时的，所不见的是永远的；若盼望那所不见的，就必忍耐等候
人类长久习惯使用传统能源：煤炭、石油、天然气、铀，它们看得见、摸得着、抓得住，但它们是有限的；虽然它们带来各式能量的供应，但也造成严重的环境影响。
最近努力开发的再生能源：阳光（采光）、风力（捕风）、水力（截流）、地热（取热），它们看不见、摸不著、抓不住，但它们却是无限的；它们来自自然环境源源不绝的能量供应，也减少环境污染效应。
能源的使用似乎和我们信仰的追求有异曲同工之妙，我们需要顾念所不见的，所不见的是永远的；若盼望那所不见的，就必忍耐等候。
Hi GAMErs,
Today we begin the book called Song of Songs. Here is some background info that you may find helpful:
– This book was most likely written by King Solomon or a musician in Solomon’s court in approximately 970 B.C.
– According to 1 Kings 4:32, Solomon wrote over 3,000 proverbs and 1,005 songs. However, this is the only song of Solomon’s that made it into the Bible.
– Over the centuries, Song of Songs has been known as one of the most difficult books in the Bible to interpret. For this reason it is no surprise that this book has been interpreted to mean so many different things: an allegory of God’s love for Israel, a picture of Christ’s love for the church, a script for a Jewish stage production, and a historical account of a real life romance in Solomon’s life, among other theories. However, it may be best to treat this book mainly as an intimate love song between two lovers that celebrates (and also teaches some important lessons about) romantic love and marriage.

Hi GAMErs,
Today’s passage is John 21:15-25. 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!
John 21:15-17 (NIV)
15 When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you truly love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.”
16 Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you truly love me?” He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.”
17 The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my sheep.
On verses 15-17: Peter’s most shameful moment was when he verbally denied Jesus three times (see John 18). So it is not a coincidence here that Jesus restores Peter by having Peter verbally affirm his love and commitment to Jesus three times.
诗篇 87:5-7
5 论到锡安，必说：「这一个那一个都生在其中。」而且至高者必亲自坚立这城。
6 当耶和华记录万民的时候，他要点出：「这一个生在那里。」（细拉）
7 歌唱的、跳舞的都要说：「我的泉源都在祢里面！」
神聚集祂的儿女，像母鸡把小鸡聚集在翅膀荫下
神像母亲一样，经常点出祂的儿女，这一个、那一个都生在锡安（神的国）；
神像母亲一样，不忘记祂吃奶的婴孩，常将祂的儿女铭刻在掌上，他们的墙垣（保护）常在祂眼前。
神如母亲一样，殷切企盼等候回家的儿女。
论到锡安，必说：这一个、那一个都生在其中，而且至高者必亲自坚立这城。（七十士译本：论到锡安，人要称它为母亲；人人都生在其中，至高者必亲自坚立它。）
当耶和华记录万民的时候，他要点出这一个生在那里。
Hi GAMErs,
Today’s passage is John 21:1-14. 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!
John 21:1-3 (NIV)
1 Afterward Jesus appeared again to his disciples, by the Sea of Tiberias. It happened this way:
2 Simon Peter, Thomas (called Didymus), Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples were together.
3 “I’m going out to fish,” Simon Peter told them, and they said, “We’ll go with you.” So they went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.
On verses 1-3: By “going out to fish” (v3), Peter may have been saying, “I tried and failed at this spiritual leadership thing. I’m going back to my old life, my old job as a fisherman. How else am I going to eat and live now that I’ve denied Jesus and made a fool of myself?” Going out to fish with Peter were James and John (“the sons of Zebedee” – v2), who were Peter’s old fishing partners and fellow disciples, as well as Thomas, Nathanael and two other disciples.
诗篇 17:14-15
14 耶和华啊，求祢用手救我脱离世人，脱离那只在今生有福分的世人。祢把祢的财宝充满他们的肚腹，他们因有儿女就心满意足，将其余的财物留给他们的婴孩。
15 至于我，我必在义中见祢的面；我醒了的时候得见祢的形象，就心满意足了。
恩典中的满足-见祢的面、见祢的形像
世人寻求恩典，寻求今生有福分，财宝充满、肚腹饱足、有儿有女…，他们就在今生心满意足且积蓄传承！
神的儿女啊！走在祂指示的生命道路，在义中得见主面，醒了得着主的形像，这是他应许我们在恩典中的全然满足。
耶和华啊，求你用手救我脱离世人，脱离那只在今生有福分的世人！你把你的财宝充满他们的肚腹；他们因有儿女就心满意足，将其余的财物留给他们的婴孩。至于我，我必在义中见你的面；我醒了的时候，得见（或译：著）你的形像就心满意足了。（诗17:14-15）
