詩篇 28:7 The LORD is my strength and shield. I trust him with all my heart. He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy. I burst out in songs of thanksgiving.
Be careful that you do not refuse to listen to the One who is speaking. For if the people of Israel did not escape when they refused to listen to Moses, the earthly messenger, we will certainly not escape if we reject the One who speaks to us from heaven! When God spoke from Mount Sinai his voice shook the earth, but now he makes another promise: “Once again I will shake not only the earth but the heavens also.” This means that all of creation will be shaken and removed, so that only unshakable things will remain.
希伯來書12: 27 講到神要再一次動搖, 這次不只是要在
地上撼動且要在天上震動. 所有受造之物將被動搖,
除了那些無法被動搖的, 其它一切將被移除.
這次動搖天, 要除去是什麼呢?
答案在希伯來書 12: 22-23
只有神所揀選的, 就是將來要住在從天而降的新耶路撒冷城的子民,
這些都 已被火提煉過的, 不會被試探, 患難所動搖的, 聽神的話,
在生命冊上有名的外, 其餘的都會被除去.
所以神才說 要 “ 動搖天 “ 這樣一來所有不屬於祂的都會被除掉.
希伯來書 12: 22-23 No, you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to countless thousands of angels in a joyful gathering. You have come to the assembly of God’s firstborn children, whose names are written in heaven. You have come to God himself, who is the judge over all things. You have come to the spirits of the righteous ones in heaven who have now been made perfect.
So Abraham placed the wood for the burnt offering on Isaac’s shoulders, while he himself carried the fire and the knife. As the two of them walked on together, Isaac turned to Abraham and said, “Father?” “Yes, my son?” Abraham replied. “We have the fire and the wood,” the boy said, “but where is the sheep for the burnt offering?” “God will provide a sheep for the burnt offering, my son, ” Abraham answered. And they both walked on together.
亞伯拉罕 的 ”faith”真叫人無法理解, 我 做不到.
難怪希伯來書說: “人非有信就不能得神的喜悅” (Hebrews 11: 6 It is impossible to please God without faith)
and no one else can fully share its joy 心中的喜樂外人也不能分享
聖經說 “我們來到這世界如旅客, 暫居此地”
客居外鄉的日子雖是苦多於樂, 不方便;
但日子久了若把地上寄居地當成家;
把重心都放在這世界, 就會陷入撒旦的網羅.
他善於把一 切 苦 毒惱 恨 、 忿 怒 、毀 謗 、
忌妒、 憂傷的意念深深埋在我們的心田,
來纏繞我們, 使我們吃盡所有的 “苦水”.
每一人的苦楚除了神以外沒有人可以把
我們的 “Bitterness” 拿走.
過去的先知也與我們一樣有吐不完的苦水,
只有向神傾訴.
耶利米也曾如此向神訴苦:
Lamentations(耶利米哀歌) 3:14-15 My own people laugh at me. 我成了眾民譏笑的對象 All day long they sing their mocking songs. 他們終日喝頌的諷歌 He has filled me with bitterness 他使我飽嘗苦菜 and given me a bitter cup of sorrow to drink. 飽享苦堇
如何除去 “Bitterness”不被這苦根纏繞 呢?
我個人體會是“ 把神的應許放為首位固定在心中”
寧可喝神的生命活泉(神的話) 也不想喝撒旦的苦水!
喝了苦水就會失去生命,
正如耶穌說的 “若愛這世界就失去生命”
今天我想分享的是啟示錄 8: 10-12 講到
當第第三位天使吹起號時, 有一顆大星
像火把一樣的從天降落在三分之一的江河上,
這星的名字叫 “Bitterness” . 三分之一的眾水
的泉源都變苦水. 有許多人因飲了這苦水而死.
我要緊緊抓住神的話來遠離撒旦的誘惑,欺騙.
Revelation 8:10-12 Then the third angel blew his trumpet, and a great star fell from the sky, burning like a torch. It fell on one-third of the rivers and on the springs of water. The name of the star was Bitterness. It made one-third of the water bitter, and many people died from drinking the bitter water.
撒 迦 利 亞 ( Zechariah) 11:17 “What sorrow awaits this worthless shepherd who abandons the flock! The sword will cut his arm and pierce his right eye. His arm will become useless, and his right eye completely blind.” 神說要使這無用牧人的膀 臂枯乾, 右眼昏暗失明 是甚麼意思?
Isaiah 11 : 11 In that day the Lord will reach out his hand a second time to Bring back the remant of his people those who remain in Assyria and northern Egypt; in southern Egypt, Ethiopia, and Elam; in Babylonia, Hamath, and all the distant coastlands. He will raise a flag among the nations and assemble the exiles of Israel. He will gather the scattered people of Judah from the ends of the earth.
Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones. 良言如同蜂房, 使心覺甘甜, 使骨得醫治
感謝神 ! 祂這句話點醒我, 一針見血, 真是良藥!
箴言 17:22 也驗正神為何要我以喜樂代替憂傷來到祂面前.
A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit saps a person’s strength 喜樂的心乃是良藥，憂傷的靈使骨枯乾
我軟弱, 常會把眼光放在這會毀壞的身體上,
但我也不是第一個在憂傷中呼求神憐憫.
大衛王在詩篇6: 2-3 也向神呼求:
耶和華啊！要等到幾時呢？
Psalm 6:2-3 Have mercy on me, O LORD, for I am weak; O LORD, heal me, for my bones are troubled.
My soul also is greatly troubled; But You, O LORD—how long?
Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, But a good word makes it glad. The righteous should choose his friends carefully, For the way of the wicked leads them astray.
2 Samuel 22:2-4
“The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer;
耶和華是我的巖石、我的山寨、我的救主
The God of my strength, in whom I will trust;
我的神、我的磐石、我所投靠的
My shield and the horn of my salvation,
我的盾牌、我救恩的角、
M y stronghold and my refuge;
我的高臺、我的避難所
My Savior, You save me from violence.
我的救主；你是救我脫離強暴的
I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised;
我向那當受讚美的耶和華呼求
So shall I be saved from my enemies.
就得到拯救，脫離我的仇敵
2 Samuel 22:30-32(NJKV& CNVT)
For by You I can run against a troop;
藉著你,我攻破敵軍
B y my God I can leap over a wall.
靠著我的神,我跳過牆垣
As for God, His way is perfect;
這位神,他的道路是完全的
The word of the LORD is proven;
耶和華的話是煉淨的
He is a shield to all who trust in Him.
凡是投靠他的,祂都作他們的盾牌
Ephesians 1:17-19 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power
“At that time Michael shall stand up, The great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people; And there shall be a time of trouble, Such as never was since there was a nation, Even to that time. And at that time your people shall be delivered, Every one who is found written in the book.
英文版: If she is virgin, like a wall, we will protect
her with A silver tower. But if she is promiscuous,
like a swinging door,we Will block her door with a cedar bar.
馬太福音6: 8-10 主耶穌是這樣教導我們如此禱告:
”Our Father in heaven……………”
耶穌告訴我們是向天父禱告,然後奉祂(耶穌)的名來祈求.
馬太福音11:25 耶穌說要關起門到內室向在天父禱告.
馬太福音 18:19 耶穌說若有兩個人在地上同心合意地求
任何事, 我在天上的父必成全.
彼得前書 1: 17 彼得在很清楚告訴我們是向父神祈求.
1 Peter 1:17New Living Translation (NLT) And remember that the heavenly Father to whom you pray
has no favorites. He will judge or reward you according to what
you do. So you must live in reverent fear of him during your time
as “foreigners in the land.”
