守護者
聖經閱讀：詩篇91:1-16 現代中譯本|合和本
2013年2月24日(日)

幾年前，有一支基督徒樂團唱了一首歌，歌名叫「安息」，歌詞的一部份是這樣寫的：「我安息在祢慈愛的隱密處，也安息在祢奇妙的恩典中。」 　這些歌詞讓我想起今天要閱讀的經文，這詩篇是摩西寫的，在經節中，他提醒我們上帝是我們的守護者，也是我們的避難所。 　上帝應許要保護我們的安全，在第4節，摩西說：「他要用翅膀庇護你」，就像一隻鳥會盡全力來保護牠的幼鳥，上帝也會對我們做同樣的事情。 　今天，很多人努力要從金錢、酒精、和藥物中得到安全感，但是上帝是安慰和力量的最佳來源，祂要我們到祂面前尋求平靜和安息。 　也許，在生活中你已厭倦了面對問題，今天就到上帝面前，並且安歇在祂的同在和聖潔之中。 —ZW 「都可以向上主說：你是我的避難所，是我的堡壘。你是我的上帝，我信靠你。」 詩篇91:2 禱告：天父，我現在來到祢面前，求?安慰我、用愛來待我。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (EHI譯/台南聖教會英語團契)

Security
Bible Reading: Psalm 91:1-16

Several years ago, a popular Christian band sang a song called “Rest.” Here are some of the words from that song. “And I rest in the shelter of Your love. And I rest in the wonder of Your grace.” 　Those words remind me of our Bible verses for today. This psalm was written by Moses. In these verses, he reminds us that God is our security and place of safety. 　God has promised to protect us and keep us safe. In verse 4b Moses says, “He will cover you like a bird spreading its wings over its babies.” A bird will do everything it can to protect its babies. God will do the same for us. 　Many people today try to find security in money, alcohol, or drugs. But God is the best source of comfort and strength. He wants us to come to Him and find peace and rest. 　Maybe you are tired of facing problems in life. Come to God today and rest in His presence and holiness. —ZW “I say to the Lord, ‘You are my place of safety, my fortress. My God, I trust in you.’” Psalm 91:2 PRAYER: Heavenly Father, I come to You now and ask You to show me Your comfort and love. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
