在我们来到今年的最后一个月之际，魏泰德牧师邀请你来反思这个重要的问题:“今年你是否把上帝放在生活的首位？”

作为基督徒，思考我们如何去使用上帝所赐予的资源是很好的操练。这是一个检视我们能否把上帝在生活中首位的方法，而时间是多么的合适啊！

因此，我们庆祝这个管家复兴周，它是全球基督徒复临安息日会每年倡议的，要对他们作为上帝管家身份的委身更新。

这次活动聚焦在实际的改革上，是对我们在《基督徒服务大全》这本书的劝勉的回应，书中第3章写到：“在圣灵的运行下，一定会发生复兴和改革。复兴和改革是两种不同的事情。复兴意味着属灵生命的更新，心思和意念的能力的苏醒，从属灵的死亡中复活。改革意味着重新组织，观念和理论、习性和惯例的改变……复兴和改革应当从事它们指定的工作，并且必须在从事这一工作中融为一体。”

为了在这个历程上帮助我们，全球总会管家事工部提供一份可下载的资料——《上帝第一》，提供英语、西班牙语、法语和葡萄牙语的版本。

这份杂志包含了7篇圣经讲道，帮助我们关注在最重要的事上，并附上一个实际行动的呼召。其目标是引导我们在属灵生命的7个重要方面，决志把上帝放在首位。如此，带领我们发展与上帝的关系。这个凭信而行的历程应该成为一个持续信赖祂的操练。

思想上帝所为你做的，默想福山宝训上发现的基督讲道中奇妙的应许：“所以，不要忧虑说，‘吃什么？喝什么？穿什么？’这都是外邦人所求的。你们需用的这一切东西，你们的天父是知道的。你们要先求他的国和他的义，这些东西都要加给你们了。所以，不要为明天忧虑，因为明天自有明天的忧虑；一天的难处一天当就够了。”（马太福音6:31-34）

愿我们把上帝放在生活中的首位，并收获上帝所倾降给我们的福气！

As we come to the final month of this year, Pastor Ted Wilson invites you to reflect on this important question: “Have you put God first in your life this year?”

As Christians, it’s good practice to contemplate how we are using God-given resources. What a perfect time to examine ways in which we can put God first in our lives!

As such, we celebrate this Stewardship Revival Week. It is an annual initiative where Seventh-day Adventists around the globe renew their commitment to God as His stewards.

It focuses on practical reformation in response to the admonition we have in the book Christian Service, pp. 41-42: “A revival and a reformation must take place under the ministration of the Holy Spirit. Revival and reformation are two different things. Revival signifies a renewal of spiritual life, a quickening of the powers of mind and heart, a resurrection from the spiritual death. Reformation signifies reorganization, a change in ideas and theories, habits and practices…Revival and reformation are to do their appointed work, and in doing this work, they must blend.”

To help us in this journey, the General Conference Stewardship Ministries Department has provided a downloadable resource entitled “God First.” It is available in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese. You can have it here: stewardship.adventist.org/stewardship-revival-week-2021.

This magazine contains seven biblical sermons, helping us focus on what matters most, followed by a call to action. It aims to lead us into deciding to put God first in seven crucial aspects of our spiritual life. In this way, we are guided into developing a relationship with God. This faith-driven journey should become a continual exercise of trust in Him.

Think about all that God has done for you. Consider this wonderful promise found in Christ’s sermon on the Mount: “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘ What shall we wear?’ For after all these things, the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble” (Matt. 6:31-34).

Let’s put God first in our lives and reap the blessings God will pour out upon us!
