第四十八章
17耶和華你的救贖主──以色列的聖者如此說:“我是耶和華你的
神,教訓你使你得益處,引導你所當行的路。18甚願你素來聽從我
的命令,你的平安就如河水,你的公義就如海浪。19你的後裔也必
多如海沙,你腹中所生的必多如沙粒。他的名在我面前必不剪除,
也不滅絕。”20你們要從巴比倫出來,從迦勒底人中逃脫,以歡呼
的聲音傳揚說:“耶和華救贖了他的僕人雅各!”你們要將這事宣
揚到地極。21耶和華引導他們經過沙漠。他們並不乾渴;他為他們
使水從磐石而流,分裂磐石,水就湧出。
22耶和華說:“惡人必不得平安!”
默想:
1.安靜——閱讀/聆聽——默想——禱告——默觀/安歇主懷
2.在閱讀默想今天的經文時,有哪個字或詞句特別觸動你的?當
你讀到這個字或詞句時,你有什麼感受?
3.不全心信靠神的人,他們不單得不到順利,更是沒有平安
(18節)。不願意信靠順服神話語的人,也很容易不聽從
神的命令,因此也就得不到平安。
4.你現在的景況如何?你有平安嗎?神是否呼召你悔改信靠神?
你能夠將生命中的重擔交託給神嗎?還是你有遲疑因為你不肯
定神會幫助你?
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 48
17 This is what the Lord says— your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:
“I am the Lord your God, who teaches you what is best for you,who directs
you in the way you should go.18 If only you had paid attention to my
commands, your peace would have been like a river,your well-being like
the waves of the sea.19 Your descendants would have been like the sand,
your children like its numberless grains;their name would never be blotted
out nor destroyed from before me.”20 Leave Babylon, flee from the
Babylonians!Announce this with shouts of joy and proclaim it.
Send it out to the ends of the earth; say, “The Lord has redeemed his servant
Jacob.”21 They did not thirst when he led them through the deserts;
he made water flow for them from the rock;he split the rock and water
gushed out.22 “There is no peace,” says the Lord, “for the wicked.”
Meditation
1. Silence – Read/Listen – Meditate – Pray – Contemplate
2. What is the word or phrase that touches you today as you read and
meditate on this passage? What is your emotion as you read this
word or phrase?
3. The person who fails to trust God’s word completely forfeits more
than comfort. He or she forfeits peace (v18). The person who
abandons confidence in the Word of God will soon abandon God’s
commands as well. He will soon discover that he has no peace.
4. What is your present situation? Do you have peace? Is God calling
you to repent and trust in God? Do you feel capable of releasing all
of your burdens to God or do you hold back because you’re not sure
if he will be there for 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.
