Bible Reading

5/8 Evening Bible Group

午後８時３３分頃に始まり、列王記上２１章を読みました。参加者は、あかり、ひより、えみり、せいゆでした。トマスは開始５分ほどで合流しました。あかりは、悔い改めたアハブの行いを神が赦してくださったように、神は赦しの神であることを学びました。また、神はあなたにとって最善のことをしようとしてくださっていると付け加えました。今週のことについて、彼女は来週が期末試験で、来週が学校生活最後の週であることを話しました。

ひよりは、神の目に正しい道を歩むことが大切であり、正しい道について神に尋ねることを忘れないようにすべきだと話しました。また、ジャズ史の授業で聴解テストがあり、期末試験に向けて勉強していることも話しました。トマス  は、アハブが妻の言うことを聞いて、まず神に尋ねなかったのは間違いだったと学びました。トマスはまた、かつて年上の友人に自分の答えを教えたことがあり、その時に答えを教えるべきだったかどうか、まず神に尋ねるべきだったと付け加えました。彼は高校時代にも神に導きを求めたいと願っています。

エミリは何もシェアがありませんでした。私はアハブ王は王として権力と資金を持っていたので、自分のブドウ園を作ることもできたのに、妻の言うことを聞いてナボテを殺してしまったことを知りました。彼はまずエリヤか神に尋ねるべきでした。人生で何かを決める前に神に尋ねることが大切だと教わりました。

We started at around 8:33 pm, and we read 1 Kings chapter 21. The participants were Akari, Hiyori, Emiri, and Seiyu. Tomas joined about 5 minutes after we started. Akari learned that God is a forgiving God, as he forgave Ahab for what he did after he repented. She also added that God is also trying to do what’s best for you. Regarding her week, she shared that her final exam is next week and that next week is her last week of school. Hiyori shared that it’s important to take the right path in God’s sight and to remind herself to ask God about the right path. She also shared that she had a listening exam in her jazz history class and that she’s studying for her final exams. Tomas learned that Ahab was wrong to listen to his wife instead of asking God first.Tomas also added that he once gave his answers to an older friend and said that he should’ve asked God first about whether he should’ve given his answers. He also wants to ask God for guidance in high school. Emiri didn’t share anything. I learned that King Ahab could’ve built his own vineyard, as he had the power and money to do so as he was king. Instead, he decided to listen to his wife and kill Naboth. He should’ve asked Elijah or God first. I added that it’s important to ask God before making any decisions in life.

5/5 Morning Bible Reading

Time: 10:00-10:30am

Passage: 1 Kings 20

After reading, we were both a bit confused as to what happened in the story, so, we went back to analyze what happened. After doing so, we shared what we learned.

I learned that we should always follow through exactly what God tells us to do and not try to change things according to our understanding. I also brought up how I thought it kind of ties to what I learned from the service yesterday. Abraham did not believe that God would come through in giving him a child, so he tried to do it himself. As a result, Ishmael was born. However, God was unable to use Ishmael because he was created through fleshly efforts. In this sense, I learned that God is very strict about us following his ways. He wants us to trust him and do exactly as he tells us, even if we may not understand the situation.

Kanami shared about how she thought that it was interesting how God still chose to use Ahab, a bad king. From this, she understood that 1) God will/can use anyone and 2) God will always try to give everyone a chance to turn to him.

5/3 Evening Bible Reading

今日は７時３分頃から聖書朗読を始めました。参加者は、トーマス、アカリ、ひより、エミリ、そしてセイユでした。開始５分後にティモシーが来て、列王記上１９章と２０章を読みました。ひよりは、１９章でエリヤは一人ぼっちになってしまいましたが、神様は彼と共にいて支えてくださったと話しました。そして、たとえやりたくないことや気が進まないことでも、神様の御心に従って行動することが大切だと付け加えました。また、PCCでチラシ配りに行った話もしました。アカリは、自分が正しいと思うことを行い、神様の目に正しくないことを指摘することが大切だと学びました。コンピューターサイエンスの課題で、グラフを使って空港までの最短ルートを探す課題をやった話もしました。

エミリは、神様が与えてくださる恵みにもっと気づき、常に感謝の気持ちを持つべきだと学びました。彼女は水耕栽培システムを完成させ、来週クラスでサラダを作る予定だと話してくれました。トーマスは何も話しませんでした。ティモシーはエリヤの神への献身に感銘を受け、エリシャのように神に献身的な心を持ちたいと言いました。彼は今週の出来事について何も話しませんでした。私は、神とその戒めに忠実である限り、神は常にあなたを支えてくれることを学びました。また、神に忠実であり続ける例として、神を第一に考え、奉仕とギターの練習に全力を尽くすことを挙げました。

Today, we started reading the Bible at around 7:03, and the participants were Tomas, Akari, Hiyori, Emiri, and Seiyu. Timothy came 5 minutes after we started, and we read 1 Kings 19 and 20. Hiyori shared that although Elijah was left alone in chapter 19, God was with him and supported him. She then added that it’s vital to do things according to God’s will, even if it’s something you don’t want to do or feel like doing. She also shared that she went to pass out flyers at PCC. Akari learned that it’s important to do what you know is right and to point out things that aren’t right in God’s sight. She shared that for her computer science project, she was to find the shortest path to an airport using a graph.

Emiri learned that we should be more aware of the blessings God gives us and to always be thankful. She shared that she finished her hydroponic system and that she’s going to make a salad with her class next week. Tomas didn’t share anything. Timothy liked Elijah’s commitment to God, and he said that he also wants to have a heart committed to God, like Elisha. He didn’t have anything to share about his week. I learned that God always has your back, as long as you stay faithful to him and his commands. I also added that an example of staying faithful to God is by putting him first and by giving my all during Hoshi and guitar practices.
