一﹑本週經文Scriptures: 箴言4 : 20-23 Proverbs
20 我兒,要留心聽我的言詞,側耳聽我的話語, 21 都不可離你的眼目,要存記在你心中。 22 因為得著它的,就得了生命,又得了醫全體的良藥。 23 你要保守你心,勝過保守一切(或譯:你要切切保守你心),因為一生的果效是由心發出。
20 My son, pay attention to what I say; turn your ear to my words. 21 Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart; 22 for they are life to those who find them and health to one’s whole body. 23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.
二﹑禱告事項 Prayer Items:
1. 為喬治亞(格魯吉亞)禱告:喬治亞(格魯吉亞)是一個具有潛力的國家。迄今為止,民主改革對經濟成長做出了貢獻。但是為對抗新冠肺炎所做出的宵禁與邊界關閉等措施也使經濟發展蒙上陰影。由於政府保障信仰自由,基督徒人數近年來不斷增加。禱告這樣的成長能持續,並且喬治亞(格魯吉亞)人能在上帝裡找到他們生命的目的,因為福音生命變得豐盛。
Pray for Georgia. Georgia is a seen as a nation that holds potential. Its democratic reforms have contributed to its economic growth thus far. However, this has been under threat as COVID-19 measures involving curfews and border closures had to be introduced. Christianity has been growing in recent years as freedom of religion is legally guaranteed by the government. Pray this growth to continue as Georgians find their purpose in God and become rich in the gospel.
