第五十章
4主耶和華賜我受教者的舌頭,使我知道怎樣用言語扶助疲乏的
人。主每早晨提醒,提醒我的耳朵,使我能聽,像受教者一樣。
5主耶和華開通我的耳朵,我並沒有違背,也沒有退後。6人打我的
背,我任他打;人拔我腮頰的鬍鬚,我由他拔;人辱我,吐我,我
並不掩面。7主耶和華必幫助我,所以我不抱愧。我硬著臉面好像
堅石,我也知道我也不至蒙羞。8稱我為義的與我相近;誰與我爭
論?可以與我一同站立!誰與我作對?可以就近我來!9主耶和華
要幫助我,誰能定我有罪呢?他們都像衣服漸漸舊了,為蛀蟲所咬。
默想:
1.這是另一首僕人之歌,提到僕人被神呼召、賜予能力、得神幫
助,來完成祂在世間的工作。
2.安靜——閱讀/聆聽——默想——禱告——默觀/安歇主懷
3.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?
4.若要每天清早以聆聽神來開始你的一天,你會怎麼作?這樣作
又可以怎樣表明你對神的愛與順服?
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 50
4 The Sovereign Lord has given me a well-instructed tongue,to know the
word that sustains the weary.He wakens me morning by morning,wakens
my ear to listen like one being instructed.5 The Sovereign Lord has opened
my ears;I have not been rebellious, I have not turned away.6 I offered my
back to those who beat me,my cheeks to those who pulled out my beard;
I did not hide my face from mocking and spitting.7 Because the Sovereign
Lord helps me, I will not be disgraced.Therefore have I set my face like
flint, and I know I will not be put to shame.8 He who vindicates me is near.
Who then will bring charges against me? Let us face each other!Who is
my accuser? Let him confront me!9 It is the Sovereign Lord who helps
me. Who will condemn me?They will all wear out like a garment; the
moths will eat them up.
Meditation
1. This is another song concerning the servant who is summoned, empowered,
and helped by God to do his work in the world.
2. Silence – Read/Listen – Meditate – Pray – Contemplate
3. 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?
4. What would it mean for you to start your day by listening to God?
How would you do so? How has this pointed to your attitude of
love and obedience to God?
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.
