LAST WORD 总结

God doesn’t always work the way we want Him to. Sometimes He does or says things that are hard
to grasp. But we know that He is good, faithful, and loving. We can hold fast to who He is, even when
our circumstances or the way He’s leading us don’t make any sense. James 4:8 reminds us that if we
seek after God, He comes close to us.
上帝并不总是按我们所希望的方式工作。有时他做或说的事情令我们很难理解。但我们知道他是良善的，
信实的，充满爱的。即使我们的处境或他带领我们的方式令人费解，我们也可以坚守他是谁。雅各书
4:8 提醒我们，要亲近上帝，上帝就必亲近你们。

And for those of us who feel like God is distant or even harsh, take the questioning of the Samaritan
woman and the disciples to heart. It’s okay to question God and wrestle with Him. If you’re in that
place today, I encourage you to talk to a trusted Christian friend about it and pray with them.
还有对于觉得上帝是遥远的，甚至是严厉的人，把撒玛利亚女人和门徒的问题记在心中。问上帝和他争
辩是可以的。如果你如今正处于类似的情况，有很多疑惑，我鼓励你和一个信实的基督徒朋友谈谈，并
一起祷告。

How could you draw near to God this week? What questions could you ask Him? What activities or
disciplines bring you closer to Him?
这周你可以如何亲近上帝？你能问他什么问题？哪些活动或教导会让你更亲近他？

We follow a good God who notices people like a rejected woman and a puzzled fisherman. Even
when He does the unexpected, we can trust Him and choose to come near. We can seek His will
each day and obey faithfully. Let’s pray that it would be so in our lives.
我们追随一位良善的上帝，他会关心人，像一个被拒绝的女人和一个困惑的渔夫。即使上帝做的事情不
是我们所期待的，我们依然能够信靠他并且选择更亲近他。我们可以每天寻求他的旨意和信实的顺服。
让我们祷告我们的生命也能够做到。
