第四十一章
8“惟你以色列我的僕人，雅各我所揀選的，我朋友亞伯拉罕的後
裔，9你是我從地極所領（註：原文作“抓”）來的，從地角所召
來的，且對你說：‘你是我的僕人’，我揀選你，並不棄絕你。
10你不要害怕，因為我與你同在；不要驚惶，因為我是你的神。我
必堅固你，我必幫助你，我必用我公義的右手扶持你。11凡向你發
怒的必都抱愧蒙羞；與你相爭的必如無有，並要滅亡。12與你爭競
的，你要找他們也找不著；與你爭戰的必如無有，成為虛無。
13因為我耶和華你的神必攙扶你的右手，對你說，不要害怕！我必
幫助你。14你這蟲雅各和你們以色列人，不要害怕！耶和華說，我
必幫助你。”你的救贖主就是以色列的聖者。15“看哪，我已使你
成為有快齒打糧的新器具；你要把山嶺打得粉碎，使岡陵如同糠
秕。16你要把它簸揚，風要吹去，旋風要把它颳散。你倒要以耶和
華為喜樂，以以色列的聖者為誇耀。
默想：
1.安靜——閱讀/聆聽——默想——禱告——默觀/安歇主懷
2.以色列人被擄至遠離家園的異邦，這時謠言四起謂在東方興起
了另一個新的大國，猶太百姓都惶恐起來。
3.對你來說，目前有什麼事使得你懼怕的？ 害怕世界上所發生
的事情？恐怖事件？經濟崩潰？核能擴散？你的兒女？你的生
活方式？
4.今天帶著這樣的懼怕來讀這段經文時，有什麼字或詞句特別觸
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？
5.將10，13，14節中的“不要害怕……不要驚惶……不要害
怕……”作為今天神對你所說的，你會怎樣向神禱告來回應？
神想要你做什麼？
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 41
8 “But you, Israel, my servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen,
you descendants of Abraham my friend,9 I took you from the ends of the earth,
from its farthest corners I called you.I said, ‘You are my servant’; I have chosen
you and have not rejected you.10 So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be
dismayed, for I am your God.I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold
you with my righteous right hand.11 “All who rage against you will surely be
ashamed and disgraced;those who oppose you will be as nothing and perish.12
Though you search for your enemies, you will not find them.Those who wage
war against you will be as nothing at all.13 For I am the Lord your God who
takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.14
Do not be afraid, you worm Jacob, little Israel, do not fear,for I myself will help
you,” declares the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.15 “See, I will
make you into a threshing sledge, new and sharp, with many teeth.You will
thresh the mountains and crush them, and reduce the hills to chaff.16 You will
winnow them, the wind will pick them up, and a gale will blow them away.
But you will rejoice in the Lord and glory in the Holy One of Israel.
Meditation:
1.Silence – Read/Listen – Meditate – Pray – Contemplate
2.The people of Israel were in exile at this time far from their homeland.
There were rumors of a new power rising in the East. And
the people were in panic.
3.What are you afraid of right now? Afraid of what’s happening in
the world? Terrorism? Economic Collapse? Nuclear proliferation?
Your children? Your way of life?
4.With your fears in mind as you read this passage, 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?
5.Make your prayer to God based on these “do not fear…do not be
afraid” phrases (verses 10, 13, 14). What would you say to the
Lord? What does God want you to do?
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.
