一﹑本週經文Scripture：何西阿書2:14-20 Hosea
14 後來我必勸導她，領她到曠野，對她說安慰的話。 15 她從那裡出來，我必賜她葡萄園，又賜她亞割谷作為指望的門。她必在那裡應聲(或譯：歌唱)，與幼年的日子一樣，與從埃及地上來的時候相同。 16 耶和華說：「那日你必稱呼我伊施(就是我夫的意思)，不再稱呼我巴力(就是我主的意思)； 17 因為我必從我民的口中除掉諸巴力的名號，這名號不再提起。 18 當那日，我必為我的民，與田野的走獸和空中的飛鳥，並地上的昆蟲立約；又必在國中折斷弓刀，止息爭戰，使他們安然躺臥。 19 我必聘你永遠歸我為妻，以仁義、公平、慈愛、憐憫聘你歸我； 20 也以誠實聘你歸我，你就必認識我─耶和華。
14 “Therefore I am now going to allure her; I will lead her into the wilderness and speak tenderly to her. 15 There I will give her back her vineyards, and will make the Valley of Achor a door of hope. There she will respond as in the days of her youth, as in the day she came up out of Egypt. 16 “In that day,” declares the Lord, “you will call me ‘my husband’; you will no longer call me ‘my master.’ 17 I will remove the names of the Baals from her lips; no longer will their names be invoked. 18 In that day I will make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, the birds in the sky and the creatures that move along the ground. Bow and sword and battle I will abolish from the land, so that all may lie down in safety. 19 I will betroth you to me forever; I will betroth you in righteousness and justice, in love and compassion. 20 I will betroth you in faithfulness, and you will acknowledge the Lord.
二﹑禱告事項 Prayer Items:

Praying for the de-escalation of war in the Israel-Lebanon region. The conflict between Israel and Lebanon has escalated! Israel launched airstrikes within 24 hours, and according to the Lebanese Ministry of Health, 569 people have been killed and 1,835 injured, marking the deadliest day in nearly a year of cross-border conflict between Hezbollah and Israel. Foreign media have previously analyzed that the border clashes could escalate into full-scale war. We continue to pray for the Israel-Lebanon region and for peace in the Middle East.
