March 17.   The Fabric of Your Life.    Bible reading : Psalm 119:169-176    Key verse :Hebrews 4:12  3 月 17 日.  你生命的結構.                 讀經 :               詩篇 119:169-176      鑰節 :        希伯來書 4:12

                The word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword,                                      piercing even to the division of soul spirit, and of joints and marrow,                                                        and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.                                                                          上帝的話是活潑的,  是有能力的,  比一切兩刃的劍更鋒利,                                                                  連魂靈, 關節, 骨髓都能刺入剖開,                                                                                                            心裡的思念和主意都能辨認. 

        Amy Carmichael made a habit of collecting short prayers written throughout the Bible.  When need arose, she would pray God's Word to Him.  One of her favorites is found in Psalm 119:175: "Let my soul live, and it shall praise You; and let Your judgements help me."                                                          艾美 ‧ 卡邁爾(Amy Carmichael)養成了收集聖經中簡短禱文的習慣.   當有需要時, 她會向   上帝祈禱祂的話語.  她最喜歡的詩篇之一, 是在詩篇 119:175 中：“願我的性命存活,  得以讚美祢;  願祢的恩典幫助我(新國際版).”

        Two things immediately happen when you use God's Word as a prayer source.  First, you are strengthened within your soul. God's Word is powerful (Hebrews 4:12).  It reveals the message of His heart written just for you.  If you are weary from the battles of life, the  Word of God is a minister of hope and truth.  It is God breathed; therefore, it has the ability to refresh and renew the downtroden.              當你使用上帝的話作為禱告的來源時,  有兩件事會立即發生.  首先, 你的靈命得到強化.     上帝的話是有能力的（來  4:12）.  揭示祂專為你而寫的信息心意.   如果你因人生的爭戰而感到疲倦,  上帝的話語就是你盼望和真理的使者.  這是祂所呼吸的;  因此,  祂的話有能力使受蹂躪的人煥然一新.

         Second, you experience intmate fellowship with the  Lord by reading His Word.  In picking it up, you are telling Him that you want to know more about Him, your life, and the situation at hand.  He honors your devotion just as He onors the promises in His Word.                                                                       其次,  你可以透過閱讀主的話語, 來體驗與主親密的團契.  當你拿起聖經閱讀時, 你是在告訴祂, 你想更多地了解祂, 你現在的生活處境, 和目前的情況.   上帝尊重你的獻上,  正如祂對你, 履行祂的應許你的話一樣.

        Too many people wait until desperation hits before they turn to God for guidance.  But you don't have to wait until the alarm sounds.  God's Word is a standard of truth.  When you weave it into the fabric of your life through prayer, your trust level rises, and you can see clearly the hope that is given to you by a faith, loving God.                                                                                                                              太多的人,  等到絕望來臨時,  才轉向上帝尋求祂指引.  但你不必等到鬧鐘響起.  上帝的話是真理的準繩.   當你透過禱告將祂的話融入你的生活時,  你的信靠祂就會立刻上升,  你可以清楚地看到信實,  慈愛的上帝賜給你的希望.

            Lord, help me weave the fabric of my life with prayer.  Lift the level of my trust so I can see                  clearly the hope that You have given me.                                                                                                    主啊!  求祢幫助我, 用禱告編織生命.  提升我的信心, 這樣我就能清楚地看到祢賜給我                    的希望.
