詩篇46是一首非常激勵人心的詩歌，第1節說：「上帝是我們的避難所和力量，是我們患難中隨時的幫助。」 　這些經節之所以激勵人心，是因為它們提醒我們不要害怕。第2和第3節談到了地震、高山崩坍並墜入海洋、怒濤澎湃，以及群山震撼。當這些情況發生時，我們如何能不害怕呢？因為「上帝是我們的避難所和力量」。 　另外，這些經節之所以激勵人心，是因為它們告訴我們上帝大有能力和令人敬畏的作為。上帝有什麼樣的作為呢？上帝祂幫助我們 (第5b節)、祂平息戰亂 (第9a節)，而且祂在萬國被尊崇、在地上受敬奉 (第10節)。而上帝如何能夠成就這些事呢？因為祂是萬軍之耶和華 (第7節)。 　無論今天你會遇到什麼事情，你可以知道上帝是你的避難所和力量的源頭。就倚靠祂吧！—ECW 「來看上主的作為；看他在地上所做的奇事。」 詩篇46:8b 禱告：親愛的上帝，我願完全倚靠祢。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (尤榮輝譯)

Psalm 46
Bible Reading: Psalm 46:1-11
Saturday, September 7, 2013

Psalm 46 is a very encouraging psalm. Verse 1 says, “God is our protection and source of strength. He is always ready to help us in times of trouble.” 　These verses are encouraging because they remind us to not be afraid. Verses 2 and 3 talk about earthquakes, mountains falling into the sea, seas that are rough and dark and mountains that tremble. How can we not be afraid when these things happen? Because “God is our protection and source of strength.” 　These verses are also encouraging because they tell us about the powerful and awesome things God has done. What has God done? He helps us (verse 5b). God stops wars (verse 9a). And He defeats the nations and controls the world (verse 10). How can God do these things? Because He is All-Powerful (verse 7). 　No matter what you will face today, you can know that God is your protection and source of strength. Depend on Him! —ECW “Look at the powerful things the Lord has done. See the awesome things he has done on earth.” Psalm 46:8b PRAYER: Dear God, I want to completely depend on You. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
