Bible verse of the Month 本月金句

「耶和華必在你前面行,祂必親自與你同在,必不撇下你,也不丟棄你。你不要懼怕,也不要驚惶。」(申命記31章8節)
“The Lord Himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” (Deuteronomy 31:8)

12Meaning: to make someone feel very frightened.
John: I’m really worried, Mary!
Mary: What are you worrying about?
John: I’ve made a bet with Peter that if Donald wins, I’ll go to Macau and try Bungee Jump on the tower.
Mary: Oh, John! You’re afraid of heights, why did you make such a bet?
John: Why? Because I thought Donald wouldn’t win! But I was obviously wrong. To everyone’s surprise, he did win! Now, simply the thought of jumping down from the top of the tower has already made my hair stand on end!
