讀 經：創世記6：1-9
金 句：「誇帒的卻因為他有聰明，認識我是耶和華。」（耶利米書9：24）
全年讀經：詩篇148-150篇
根據創世記第六章的記載，挪亞生活在一個可怕的邪惡的時代，但他能在當時的環境中保持聖潔，他一定對主有親密的、深刻的認識。因為他被稱為「與神同行」（9節）。
這就提出了一個重要的問題，我們如何能真正認識一個人？讓我來說明一下：自從我和我妻子結婚至今，我們度過了許多美好的年頭。當時我對她的認識是那麼少又膚淺，只有在我倆長期共同生活，一起成長之後，經歷了生活中的不少酸甜苦辣甜蜜後，才深深地認識她，了解她是什麼樣的人，也比以前更了解她、更愛她。
同樣的道理，認識上帝也需要時間，我們可以從聖經了解天父上帝、他的兒子耶穌以及聖靈。但是要真正了解上帝，我們一定先要接受耶穌為我們的救主。之後，就要藉著閱讀上帝的話語和與他每日的團契，盡其我們所能來認識上帝。要熟識上帝就意味著要藉著禱告與上帝交談，信靠並順服主耶穌，並且每日要依靠我們心中的聖靈的力量和引導。
這樣做才能認識上帝。RWD
我們一生的路，就是要認識上帝，
每日信靠他，閱讀他的話語；
了解他的旨意，並且熱愛他，
向他傾心吐意。Sper
了解聖經是好事，能了解它作者更好。
Knowing God
Read: Genesis 6:1-9
Let him who glories glory in this, that he understands and knows Me. --Jeremiah 9:24
According to Genesis 6, Noah lived in a time of terrible wickedness, yet he kept himself from all the evil around him. He must have known the Lord in a close, personal way, for he was described as a man who "walked with God" (v.9).
This raises an important question. How do we really get to know someone? Let me illustrate: Many years have passed since that wonderful day my wife and I were married, and I realize how little I knew her at that time. Only after living with her and growing together, through both the sweet and the bitter experiences of life, have I come to appreciate her for who and what she is. I know her better and love her more than ever before.
In a similar manner, it takes time to get to know God. We hear what the Bible says about God the Father, Jesus His Son, and the Holy Spirit. But to really get to know God, we must receive Jesus as our personal Savior. Then we must learn all we can about Him through studying God's Word and fellowshiping with Him each day. Getting acquainted with God means talking with our heavenly Father in prayer, trusting and obeying the Lord Jesus, and daily relying on the power and guidance of the indwelling Holy Spirit.
That's what it takes to know God. --RWD
Life's journey is to know the Lord,
To trust Him every day,
To read His Word, to learn His will,
To love Him, and to pray. --Sper
To know the Bible is good; to know its Author is better.
