聖經閱讀:詩篇69:1-36 現代中譯本|合和本
2012年12月11日(二)
聖經大部份的版本認為詩篇第69篇是大衛寫的,他寫這詩篇的時候一定非常沮喪,在整首詩裡他寫著像這樣的話:「我落在深水中,波濤淹沒了我」(第2節)、「無故恨我的人比我的頭髮還多」(第4節)、「滿面羞慚」(第7節),以及「他們都嘲笑我」(第11節)。 但是,即使大衛沮喪憂鬱,他仍記得上帝是愛他的。第13節中,大衛說:「主啊,至於我,我要向你祈求;上帝啊,因著你永恆的大愛,因著你應許要拯救,求你照你所定的時間應答我。」大衛以讚美上帝做為這詩篇的結尾,大衛因上帝為他所做的事而讚美祂。 我們都會經歷悲傷和沮喪的時刻,也許是因為生病,或是遇到財務問題,或是我們所愛的人過世了。當我們有這樣的感覺時,要記得像大衛一樣親近神,而上帝會幫助我們並且提醒我們──我們並不孤單。 —ECW 「上帝啊,求你保護我,拯救我。我要用詩歌頌讚上帝;我要以感謝宣揚他的偉大。這將使上主歡悅,」
詩篇69:29b-31a 禱告:天父,謝謝祢永遠愛我、幫助我。奉耶穌的名,阿們!

Bible Reading: Psalm 69:1-36
Tuesday, December 11, 2012
Most Bibles say that Psalm 69 was written by David. He must have written this at a time when he was very depressed. He said things throughout the psalm like “I am about to drown” (verse 2), “I have more enemies than the hairs on my head” (verse 4), “My face is covered with shame” (verse 7), and “People tell jokes about me” (verse 11). But even though David was depressed, He remembered that God loved him. In verse 13, David said, “As for me, this is my prayer to you, Lord: I want you to accept me! God, I want you to answer me with love. I know I can trust you to save me.” David ended this psalm by praising God for all He did for him. We all go through times when we are sad or depressed. Maybe we are sick or facing financial problems or someone we love has died. When we feel like this, we need to remember to reach out to God, like David did. God will help us and remind us that we are not alone. —ECW “God, lift me up. Save me! I will praise God’s name in song. I will praise him with a song of thanks. This will make God happy!” Psalm 69:29b-31a
PRAYER: Father, thank You for always loving and helping me. In Jesus’ name. Amen. |
