四季更新
“凡事都有定期，天下万务都有定时。生有时，死有时；栽种有时，拔出所栽种的也有时；”
传道书 3:1-2
树叶开始变色，夏天过去了，不再有炎热的日子。冬天即将来临，很快又会转冷。秋天，就是这样一个过渡的季节。
有一种叫做“秋火焰”的枫树可以长到大约五十英尺高，四十英尺宽（18米高、13米宽）。这种美丽的树生长迅速，枝繁叶茂，在盛夏的时候提供浓荫。它具有很强的抗污染能力，而且有助于净化周围的空气。在各种环境下，它都能蓬勃生长。而到了秋天，它的叶子变成鲜艳的橘红色，使景色蔚为壮观。
我们很多人却喜欢过一成不变的生活。我们想要长年累月的风平浪静，希望一切可以预知。但是，生命的改变，尤其是耶稣带给我们的改变，会使我们的世界焕然一新。
今日祷告：
主耶稣，求你在我生命的季节里不断更新我，让我成为他人的祝福。阿们。

Seasons
For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven. A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant and a time to harvest.
ECCLESIASTES 3:1–2
The leaves beginning to change color, and summer is gone. The warm days are behind us. Winter is just around the bend. Colder weather is ahead. Fall is the transition.
The Autumn Blaze Maple tree grows to be about fifty feet tall and forty feet wide. It is a beautiful fast-growing, leafy green tree in the summer, providing deep shade. It is strongly resistant to pollution and its robust health helps purify air all around it. It also flourishes in various environments. But in the fall its leaves turn a vibrant orange-red that transforms the landscape.
Many of us try to live our lives without seasons. We’d like to have predictability and safety all year long. But change in us, especially when generated by Jesus, produces brilliant opportunities to change the world in which we live.
Pray for the Day:
Lord Jesus, change me through the seasons of my life so that I might bless others. Amen.
