• 马太福音 4:4

耶稣却回答说：“经上记着：‘人活着，不是单靠食物，乃是靠上帝口里所出的一切话。’”

• 罗马书 5:8

惟有基督在我们还作罪人的时候为我们死，上帝的爱就在此向我们显明了。

• 诗篇 5:5

狂傲的人不能站在你眼前；凡作恶的，都是你所恨恶的。

• 罗马书 8:38-39

因为我深信，无论是死，是活，是天使，是掌权的，是有权能的 （指灵界的势力），是现在的事，是将来的事， 是高处的，是深处的，是别的受造之物，都不能使我们与上帝的爱隔绝，这爱是在我们的主基督耶稣里的。

上帝的话语是我们每天的燃料——当我们真正了解到上帝有多么伟大，我们自己又有多么败坏时，我们就会意识到自己多么需要听到上帝对我们的肯定、教导和慈爱。其实，我们每个人都需要得到肯定，但我们从哪里得到肯定，会决定我们人生的进程。如果我们从人际关系中得到肯定，当对方让我们失望的时候（每个人都会有让我们失望的时候），我们就会遭受严重的打击。

但是如果我们从良善的上帝那里得到肯定，我们就永远不会失望，因为祂毫无保留地爱我们，总是为我们的好处着想。上帝是唯一一个我们可以真正全然依靠的对象。除了上帝本身的话语以外，还有什么更好的地方可以让我们得到安全和肯定呢？

• Matthew 4:4

But he answered, “It is written,

“‘Man shall not live by bread alone,

but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”

• Romans 5:8

but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

• Psalm 5:5

The boastful shall not See stand before your eyes;
you hate all evildoers.

• Romans 8:38-39

For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

The word of God is our daily fuel – when we truly understand how great God is and how messed up we are, we realize how much we need to hear God’s affirmation, instruction, and love for us. In fact, we all need affirmation, but where we get it from will determine the course of our lives. If we get that affirmation from relationships, we'll be devastated when that person lets us down (which all humans will do at some point).

But if we get our affirmation from a good God who has nothing but love for us and wants the best for us, we will never be let down. God is the ONLY person we can truly and completely rely on. What better place to get our security and affirmation from than the actual Words of God?

阅读今天的经文后，花五到十分钟来思考我们的上帝有多良善。

Read today's passages and spend 5-10 minutes this morning thinking about how good our God is.
