	代禱事項
	為菁滿姐一家在朝正兄過世後的生活調適禱告，並且為他們的經濟狀況禱告。菁滿姐這幾天胃痛、頭痛和嚴重的失眠，祈求主看顧菁滿姊的身體，讓她能有平靜的心、足夠的睡眠。也感謝大家對菁滿姊的關心，但是請大家暫時不要打電話給她，讓菁滿姊有一段單獨的時間能平靜她的心，她需要的是我們的代禱，與從神來的安慰。
	家庭作業
	讀經以賽亞書55:6 -13 賽55:8 – 9 耶和華說：我的意念非同你們的意念，我的道路非同你們的道路，天怎樣高過地，照樣我的道路高過你們的道路，我的意念高過你們的意念。請問：神的意念和人的意念的差別在哪裡？既然人的意念不同於神的意念，那我們如何能明白神的心意、神的話？

	Prayer Requests
	Please pray for the Lee family’s daily life after the passing of Brother Chaujun. Please also put their financial situation in prayer. Sister Chinman lately has been suffering stomach aches, headaches, and severe insomnia. Pray that the Lord watches over her health, give her peace and enough sleep. Many thanks to everyone’s care for Sister Chinman, but please do not call her these days. Allow Sister Chinman to have some quiet time and calm her heart. She needs our prayers and comfort from the Lord.
	Homework
	Scripture Reading: Isaiah 55: 6 -13 Isaiah 55: 8 – 9 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” What are the differences between God’s and our thoughts? Since our thoughts are different from God’s thoughts, how can we understand God’s thoughts and words?
