提摩太后书 2:11-16

有可信的话说：我们若与基督同死，也必与他同活；我们若能忍耐，也必和他一同做王；我们若不认他，他也必不认我们；我们纵然失信，他仍是可信的，因为他不能背乎自己。

你要使众人回想这些事，在主面前嘱咐他们：不可为言语争辩，这是没有益处的，只能败坏听见的人。你当竭力在神面前得蒙喜悦，做无愧的工人，按着正意分解真理的道。但要远避世俗的虚谈，因为这等人必进到更不敬虔的地步。

“你当竭力在神面前得蒙喜悦，做无愧的工人，按着正意分解真理的道。” - 提后 2:15

在人生的最初二十年中，大部份人都是学生。我们在那段期间得到的教导，为我们提供了一个过奉献生活所需要的基础。

作为基督的信徒，我们也是学生。我们需要学习神的话语，在救主的恩典和知识中成长。我们需要不断吸取神的话语，好叫我们能够被祂灵的能力改造，衪的灵在我们里面动工，教导我们认识神的真理和智慧。我们天天都需要靠主和衪的灵行事，对神有更深的认识，在任何地方都不断与人分享衪的爱。

有一个故事这样说，一个正在散步的人听见有声音对他说：“拾取一些小石子。”他虽然见不到任何人，但那声音却不断说：“拾取一些小石子，把它们放在你的口袋里，明天你便会感到又快乐又后悔了。”

这人感到很困惑，他心想：“照着做又何妨呢？”于是他便拾了几块小石子，把它们放在口袋里，第二天他发觉它们都变成了钻石。他庆幸他拾取了一些小石子，但他也后悔没有拾取更多。

同样，研读神的话语或许不会即时见到它的益处。然而，久而久之，小片的真理和智慧便会变为珍贵的宝藏 － 成为我们生命中数之不尽的祝福。

祷告

作为教师的主，求你引导我们明白你的话语。惟愿你话语的真理改造我们的心思和意念，好让我们能在你的智慧中成长。奉耶稣的名祈求，阿们。

I AM A STUDENT

“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.” — 2 Timothy 2:15

In the first two decades of life, most people are students. The instruction we receive during that time provides us with the building blocks we need for a productive life.

As believers in Christ, we are also students. We need to learn God’s Word and grow in the grace and knowledge of the Savior. We need to absorb God’s Word continuously in order to be transformed by the power of his Spirit, who works in us and teaches us the truth and wisdom of God. On a daily basis we need to walk in step with the Lord and his Spirit, growing to know God and to share his love with others everywhere.

There’s a tale of a man on a stroll who hears a voice say to him: “Gather some pebbles.” Though he sees no one, the voice persists: “Gather some pebbles and put them in your pocket, and tomorrow you will be both glad and sorry.”

Intrigued, the man thinks, “Why not?” So he picks up a few pebbles and puts them in his pocket. The next day he discovers they have been transformed into diamonds. Then he feels gladness for taking some, and he is sorry for not taking more.

Similarly, our study of God’s Word may not reveal its benefits right away. Yet over time, nuggets of truth and wisdom will prove to be valuable treasures—blessing our lives in countless ways.

Lord and Teacher, guide us into your Word. May its truths transform our hearts and minds, that we may grow in your wisdom. Amen.
