1069—詩篇119:71［我受苦是與我有益, 為要使我學習祢的律例.］［案例］在猶太拉比中間流傳著一個故事：約瑟曾被嫉妒的十個哥哥所賣, 成了埃及的奴隸. 然而, 日後他居然當上了埃及的宰相. 據說當約瑟帶著父親雅各的遺體返回迦南時, 經過那曾被哥哥丟入的坑, 就停下來, 祝福那坑, 為它獻上感謝. 因為他若不是被丟入那痛苦的坑洞, 就不會成為埃及的宰相. ［理由］苦難乃是磨煉. 為過去的苦難感恩吧！上帝經常以苦難的外衣, 呈現祂隱藏的祝福. 沒有那一段刻苦銘心的遭遇, 豈能造就如今的你呢！［結論］親愛的天父上帝, 我們感謝祢豐盛的恩典, 在過去酸甜苦辣的日子, 無論是高山或低谷. 祢都與我們同在, 保守和帶領我們. 生活上的磨練使我們經歷極大的痛苦, 但卻使我們更加需要祢, 相信祢, 與依靠祢. 我們也要堅固我們信心, 使我們一生跟隨祢, 不偏離祢的道路. 禱告是奉主耶穌基督的名, 阿們！
Psalm 119:71 [It is good for me that I suffer, so that I may learn your statutes.] [Case] There is a story among the Jewish rabbis: Joseph was betrayed by his ten jealous brothers. He became a slave in Egypt. However, he later became the prime minister of Egypt. It is said that when Joseph returned to Canaan with the body of his father Jacob, he passed by the pit where his brother had thrown him, and he stopped and blessed the man. pit, give thanks for it. Because if he had not been thrown into the pit of pain, he would not have become the prime minister of Egypt. [Reason] Suffering is training. Give thanks for the suffering of the past! God often presents His hidden blessings under the cloak of suffering. Without that unforgettable experience, how could you have made you who you are today! [Conclusion] Dear Heavenly Father God, we thank you for your abundant grace. In the past days of ups and downs, whether it was high mountains or low valleys, you were with us, protecting and leading us. The trials in life have made us experience great things. The pain, but it makes us need you more, believe in you, and rely on you. We must also strengthen our faith so that we will follow you throughout our lives and never deviate from your way. This prayer is in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen!
