申命記30:11-14, 19-20
我今日所吩咐你的誡命
不是你難行的,
也不是離你遠的;
不是在天上,使你說:『誰替我們上天取下來,使我們聽見可以遵行呢?』
也不是在海外,使你說:『誰替我們過海取了來,使我們聽見可以遵行呢?』
這話卻離你甚近,
就在你口中,
在你心裡,使你可以遵行。
我今日呼天喚地向你作見證;
我將生死禍福陳明在你面前,
所以你要揀選生命,使你和你的後裔都得存活;
且愛耶和華你的神,聽從他的話,專靠他;
因為他是你的生命,你的日子長久也在乎他。
這樣,你就可以在耶和華向你列祖
亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各起誓應許所賜的地上居住。」

Living The Message 1月1日
約翰福音 1:12 (信息本聖經 The Message -- Eugene H. Peterson)
凡渴求祂,
並相信祂就是祂自己所宣稱的那位,
且照著祂的話去行的人,
祂就是他們得回真正的自我,
即神兒女一般的自我。
But whoever did want him,
who believed he was who he claimed
and would do what he said,
He made to be their true selves,
their child-of-God selves.

Place Your Life Before God
Romans 12:1-2 (The Message -- Eugene H. Peterson)
So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.
