Thoughts for the Month 本月思想

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. Philippines 4:4-6

你們要靠主常常喜樂。我再說，你們要喜樂。當叫眾人知道你們謙讓的心。主已經近了。應當 一無罣慮，只要凡事藉著禱告、祈求，和感謝，將你們所要的告訴神。腓立比書 4:4-6

“Follow the Bible is part of a coordinated initiative by church leadership to lift the

vision of Seventh-day Aventists worldwide in renewing their commitment

to read study, and share the word of God.”

Mark Finley
