第五十四章
4不要懼怕，因你必不至蒙羞；也不要抱愧，因你必不至受辱。你
必忘記幼年的羞愧，不再記念你寡居的羞辱。5因為造你的是你的
丈夫，萬軍之耶和華是他的名；救贖你的是以色列的聖者，他必稱
為全地之神。6耶和華召你，如召被離棄心中憂傷的妻，就是幼年
所娶被棄的妻。”這是你神所說的。7“我離棄你不過片時，卻要
施大恩將你收回。8我的怒氣漲溢，頃刻之間向你掩面，卻要以永
遠的慈愛憐恤你。”這是耶和華你的救贖主說的。9這事在我好像
挪亞的洪水。我怎樣起誓不再使挪亞的洪水漫過遍地，我也照樣起
誓不再向你發怒，也不斥責你。10大山可以挪開，小山可以遷移；
但我的慈愛必不離開你，我平安的約也不遷移。”這是憐恤你的耶
和華說的。
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？這與你的現況有什麼
關連 沒有？神想要你做什麼？
3.當你讀到神說祂的怒氣不過是一時的，但祂絕不會放棄你，你
有什麼感受？這段經文是否讓你想起你生命中的一個人（過
去或現在），他/她曾經對你說過類似的承諾，但後來卻反悔
了？
4.讀第10節，作為神現在對你所說的話，在開始今天其他的工作
之前，花幾分鐘安靜在神的面前，享受這段時間的寧靜。

Chapter 54
4 “Do not be afraid; you will not be put to shame.Do not fear disgrace;
you will not be humiliated.You will forget the shame of your youth and
remember no more the reproach of your widowhood.5 For your Maker is
your husband— the Lord Almighty is his name—the Holy One of Israel is
your Redeemer; he is called the God of all the earth.6 The Lord will call
you back as if you were a wife deserted and distressed in spirit—a wife
who married young, only to be rejected,” says your God.7 “For a brief moment
I abandoned you, but with deep compassion I will bring you back.
8 In a surge of anger I hid my face from you for a moment,but with everlasting
kindness I will have compassion on you,”says the Lord your Redeemer.
9 “To me this is like the days of Noah,when I swore that the waters
of Noah would never again cover the earth.So now I have sworn not to
be angry with you, never to rebuke you again.10 Though the mountains
be shaken and the hills be removed,yet my unfailing love for you will not
be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,”says the Lord, who has
compassion on you.
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? How is that related to your current situation? What
does God tell you to do?
3. When you hear God saying that he turned his back in anger only
for a moment but was not giving up on the relationship (esp. verses
7-8), what is your emotion? If this reminds you of someone in your
life (past or present) that had made similar promises to you but reneged
later, talk with God about it.
4. Read v10 as if God’s speaking to you right now. Spend a few minutes
sitting quietly in his presence, enjoying the tranquility of that
space before you move on to the rest of your day.
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.
