善惡交戰—-哥林多前書16:13[你們務要儆醒, 在真道上站立得穩, 要作大丈夫, 要剛強.][故事]一天晚上, 一家生意興隆的速食店老板, 將當日的收入數算後放入紙袋中, 但是服務生卻誤把袋子交給了開車前來購買的一對男女. 這對男女在附近公園準備享用時, 發現是一袋錢, 就馬上驅車回到速食店, 這時, 店裏亂成一團. 大家對這對男女適時的出現, 帶來一陣歡呼, 當店方準備大力表揚他們時, 那位男士卻很緊張的拒絕說”千萬不可, 因為和我在一起的這個女人, 不是我的太太.” [思考]我們可能在做一件善事的同時, 也正犯下另一個罪惡的事, 善惡天天都在我們內心交戰. 讓我們為今天的善行感恩, 也為今天的惡念, 祈求上帝的饒恕. [禱告]親愛的天父上帝, 我們祈求祢的憐憫, 我們都希望常常行善, 走在祢的真道上. 但往往我們心裏會產生惡念, 誘惑我們行惡, 求主赦免. 求主幫助我們時時有儆醒的心, 有智慧的靈, 堅守我們所信的道, 堅定我們當做的事, 做剛強的人, 榮耀祢的聖名. 禱告是奉主耶穌基督的名. 阿們!
The battle between good and evil – 1 Corinthians 16:13 [Be alert, stand firm in the faith, be a man, and be strong.] [Story] One night, the owner of a fast food restaurant with a prosperous business , calculated the day’s income and put it into a paper bag, but the waiter mistakenly handed the bag to a man and woman who drove to buy. When the man and woman were preparing to enjoy it in a nearby park, they found it was a bag of money and immediately took it. Driving back to the fast food restaurant, the store was in a mess. Everyone cheered for the timely appearance of the man and woman. When the store owner was about to praise them, the man nervously refused and said, “Ten million dollars.” No, because the woman I am with is not my wife.” [Thinking] While we are doing a good deed, we may also be committing another evil deed. Good and evil are at war in our hearts every day. Let us Be thankful for today’s good deeds, and pray for God’s forgiveness for today’s evil thoughts. [Prayer] Dear Heavenly Father God, we pray for your mercy. We all hope to always do good deeds and walk on your true path. But often we have misunderstandings in our hearts. May the Lord forgive us for having evil thoughts that tempt us to do evil. May the Lord help us to always have a watchful heart and a wise spirit, to stick to the words we believe in, to be firm in what we should do, to be strong people, and to glorify Your holy name. .Prayer is in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen!
