第十八章
6 我在急難中求告耶和華，向我的神呼求。他從殿中聽了我的聲
音，我在他面前的呼求入了他的耳中。
7 那時，因他發怒，地就搖撼戰抖；山的根基也震動搖撼。
8 從他鼻孔冒煙上騰；從他口中發火焚燒，連炭也著了。
9 他又使天下垂，親自降臨，有黑雲在他腳下。
10 他坐著基路伯飛行；他藉著風的翅膀快飛。
11 他以黑暗為藏身之處，以水的黑暗、天空的厚雲為他四圍的行宮。
12 因他面前的光輝，他的厚雲行過，便有冰雹火炭。
13 耶和華也在天上打雷，至高者發出聲音，便有冰雹火炭。
14 他射出箭來，使仇敵四散；多多發出閃電，使他們擾亂。
15 耶和華啊，你的斥責一發，你鼻孔的氣一出，海底就出現，大
地的根基也顯露。
默想：
1.這幾節經文很精彩地描繪出暴風雨的情景，也很生動地將神為
他子民工作的情況。我們的造物主，竟然用所有自然界的現
象，來為祂的子民效力。
2.今天，找時間走到戶外，感覺一下風，觀察一下雲。想像一下
神就在風裡，在雲中。與神一同“藉著風的翅膀快飛”；並從
厚雲中，觀看神降下恩典的雨水。
3.你覺得這個與神想像的旅行如何？告訴神你的感受，並聆聽神
的微笑，以及祂對你的對話。
禱告與筆錄：
繼續安靜在神面前，與神對話，並聆聽祂對我說的話。將心中的思
想（心得），或是與神的禱告，記錄在「靈程筆記簿」上面。
Chapter 18
6 In my distress I called to the LORD; I cried to my God for help.
From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came before him, into his ears.
7 The earth trembled and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains
shook; they trembled because he was angry.
8 Smoke rose from his nostrils;
consuming fire came from his mouth, burning coals blazed out of it.
9 He parted the heavens and came down; dark clouds were under his feet.
10 He mounted the cherubim and flew; he soared on the wings of the wind.
11 He made darkness his covering, his canopy around him—
the dark rain clouds of the sky.
12 Out of the brightness of his presence clouds advanced,
with hailstones and bolts of lightning.
13 The LORD thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded.
14 He shot his arrows and scattered the enemy,
with great bolts of lightning he routed them.
15 The valleys of the sea were exposed and the foundations of the earth
laid bare at your rebuke, LORD, at the blast of breath from your nostrils.
Meditation
1. These few verses gave a wonderful picture of storm; it’s a vivid description
of God working to help his people. Our creator God uses
all happenings in nature to serve his people.
2. Today, go outside and feel the wind, watch the cloud. Just imagine
God being in the wind and the cloud. Continue going with God
as he “soars on the wings of the wind”, and from the thick clouds,
watching him sends down blessed rain.
3. How do you feel on this imaginative trip with God? Talk to God
about it. And listen to his chuckling and response to you.
Prayer & Journaling:
Stay with God for a little longer. Continue to converse with God and listen
to what he wants to tell me. Then write down any thought and/or prayer
in the 2012 “Spiritual Journal” book.
