1/8/2019 我已经看见耶和华神的荣耀

赛40:3-5
在旷野有人声喊着说当预备耶和华的路,在沙漠地修平我们神的道。一切山洼都要填满、大小山冈都要削平、高高低低的要改为平坦、崎崎岖岖的必成为平原。耶和华的荣耀必然显现、凡有血气的、必一同看见、因为这是耶和华亲口说的。
The voice of one who calls out, "Prepare the way of Yahweh in the wilderness! Make a level highway in the desert for our God. Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low. The uneven shall be made level, and the rough places a plain. The glory of Yahweh shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together; for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken it."
主耶稣!这人是施洗约翰,他已经活出他的使命,完成任务。我已经看见耶和华神的荣耀,祢就是神的荣耀。神说:他已经得荣耀,还要再荣耀。是的,主啊!我们要在一切的事上,荣耀天父。愿万国万邦都要来敬拜,将荣耀归给耶和华。

31/7/2019 藐视神的警告

赛39:7-8
并且从你本身所生的众子、其中必有被掳去、在巴比伦王宫里当太监的。希西家对以赛亚说、你所说耶和华的话甚好、因为在我的年日中、必有太平和稳固的景况。
'They will take away your sons who will issue from you, whom you shall father, and they will be eunuchs in the king of Babylon's palace.'" Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, "Yahweh's word which you have spoken is good." He said moreover, "For there will be peace and truth in my days."
主耶稣!我看到了希西家王的狂妄,完全藐视耶和华神的警告。主啊!祢的话说:按着定命,人人都有一死,死后且有审判。凡人所说的闲话,当审判的日子,必要句句供出来。我就把祢的话存记在心里,好叫我的心因敬畏神得警惕的智慧。

30/7/2019 神抵挡骄傲的人

赛39:1-2,5-6
那时、巴比伦王巴拉但的儿子米罗达巴拉但、听见希西家病而痊愈、就送书信和礼物给他。希西家喜欢见使者、就把自己宝库的金子、银子、香料、贵重的膏油、和他武库的一切军器、并所有的财宝都给他们看.他家中和全国之内、希西家没有一样不给他们看的。..以赛亚对希西家说、你要听万军之耶和华的话.日子必到、凡你家里所有的、并你列祖积蓄到如今的、都要被掳到巴比伦去、不留下一样、这是耶和华说的。
At that time, Merodach Baladan the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah; for he heard that he had been sick, and had recovered. Hezekiah was pleased with them, and showed them the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, the spices, and the precious oil, and all the house of his armor, and all that was found in his treasures. There was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah didn't show them...Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, "Hear the word of Yahweh of Armies:
'Behold, the days are coming when all that is in your house, and that which your fathers have stored up until this day, will be carried to Babylon. Nothing will be left,' says Yahweh.
主耶稣!希西家王一点的愚昧,当被先知责问,仍旧硬着心。原来愚昧是出自内心的骄傲。主啊!圣经记载这一切都是为了警惕我们,求主相助,叫我的心有力量,可以抗拒今生的骄傲。

29/7/2019 神垂听祷告留下的印记

赛38:7-8
我耶和华必成就我所说的、我先给你一个兆头.就是叫亚哈斯的日晷、向前进的日影往后退十度.于是前进的日影、果然在日晷上往后退了十度。
This shall be the sign to you from Yahweh, that Yahweh will do this thing that he has spoken. Behold, I will cause the shadow on the sundial, which has gone down on the sundial of Ahaz with the sun, to return backward ten steps. So the sun returned ten steps on the sundial on which it had gone down."
主耶稣!耶和华神改变了自然界的运作,留下奇迹为印记,向世人显示神的怜悯。主啊!感谢神,我的领受是,日历上存着神垂听祷告的印记。每当我看日历, 如同看到了耶和华怜悯的手。

28/7/2019 肯定自己的为人

赛38:2-5
希西家就转脸朝墙、祷告耶和华说、耶和华阿、求你记念我在你面前怎样存完全的心、按诚实行事、又作你眼中所看为善的.希西家就痛哭了。耶和华的话临到以赛亚说、你去告诉希西家说、耶和华你祖大卫的神如此说、我听见了你的祷告、看见了你的眼泪、我必加增你十五年的寿数.
Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to Yahweh, and said, "Remember now, Yahweh, I beg you, how I have walked before you in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in your sight." Hezekiah wept bitterly. Then the word of Yahweh came to Isaiah, saying, "Go, and tell Hezekiah, 'Thus says Yahweh, the God of David your father, "I have heard your prayer. I have seen your tears. Behold, I will add fifteen years to your life.
主耶稣!我看到希西家王如何肯定自己的为人,当他知道神不医治时依然没有怨气。因他在神面前带着眼泪的祈祷,完全发自内心,蒙神垂听,并且更改意念。主啊!我深信,每一个发出内心的祈祷,神都听见看见,他的祈祷也必会蒙神悦讷。

27/7/2019 整顿家庭,修复家人的关系

赛38:1
那时希西家病得要死、亚摩斯的儿子先知以赛亚去见他、对他说、耶和华如此说、你当留遗命与你的家、因为你必死不能活了。
In those days was Hezekiah sick and near death. Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, came to him, and said to him, "Thus says Yahweh, 'Set your house in order, for you will die, and not live.'"
主耶稣!我看到神关心希西家王的家庭,大过希西家王的健康。主啊!是神的保守叫我的家得以坚立,是神的恩典叫我存活,好叫我在有生之日可以按神的吩咐去整顿家园,修复家人的关系。

26/7/2019 耶和华的热心必成就这事

赛37:30-32,35
以色列人哪、我赐你们一个证据、你们今年要吃自生的、明年也要吃自长的、至于后年、你们要耕种收割、栽植葡萄园、吃其中的果子。犹大家所逃脱余剩的,仍要往下扎根、向上结果。必有余剩的民、从耶路撒冷而出、必有逃脱的人、从锡安山而来.万军之耶和华的热心必成就这事。..因我为自己的缘故、又为我仆人大卫的缘故、必保护拯救这城。
This shall be the sign to you. You will eat this year that which grows of itself, and in the second year that which springs from the same; and in the third year sow and reap and plant vineyards, and eat their fruit. The remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah will again take root downward, and bear fruit upward. For out of Jerusalem a remnant will go forth, and survivors will escape from Mount Zion. The zeal of Yahweh of Armies will perform this.'.. 'For I will defend this city to save it, for my own sake, and for my servant David's sake.'"
主耶稣!历史见证列国不断的攻击以色列,以色列不至灭亡,反而越来越强大,乃是由于神向亚伯拉罕守约。主啊!向亚伯拉罕的后裔施慈爱大发热心的耶和华神,求祢的热心也临在我的族群,施行拯救,因祢愿万人得救。

25/7/2019 心里作难时想作的事

赛37:1,14-16
希西家王听见、就撕裂衣服、披上麻布、进了耶和华的殿。..希西家从使者手里接过书信来、看完了、就上耶和华的殿、将书信在耶和华面前展开。希西家向耶和华祷告说、坐在二基路伯上万军之耶和华以色列的神阿、你、惟有你、是天下万国的神.你曾创造天地。
It happened, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he tore his clothes, covered himself with sackcloth, and went into Yahweh's house. Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers and read it. Then Hezekiah went up to Yahweh's house, and spread it before Yahweh. Hezekiah prayed to Yahweh, saying,  "Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, who is enthroned among the cherubim, you are the God, even you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth.
主耶稣!我看到希西家王的一个动作,希西家王心里作难,就会想到要上神的殿,求告耶和华神。主啊!感谢祢丰盛的救恩,我们可以任何时候,任何地点,随时随地,可以坦然无畏到耶和华父神面前求告。太美好了,太兴奋了,天父!我好幸福。

24/7/2019 王曾吩咐"不要回答他"

 赛36:16,21
不要听希西家的话、因亚述王如此说、你们要与我和好、出来投降我、各人就可以吃自己葡萄树和无花果树的果子、喝自己井里的水....百姓静默不言、并不回答一句、因为王曾吩咐说、不要回答他。
Don't listen to Hezekiah, for thus says the king of Assyria, 'Make your peace with me, and come out to me; and each of you eat from his vine, and each one from his fig tree, and each one of you drink the waters of his own cistern;
...But they remained silent, and said nothing in reply, for the king's commandment was, "Don't answer him."
主耶稣!神所有的吩咐都是出于爱,都是要我们受益不受害,都是祝福。主啊!世上的统治者,上位者,他们向我们发出许多的承诺和吩咐,是在诱惑我们偏离祢的教诲和法则的,我们已经听到了祢的吩咐,"不要回答他。"

23/7/2019 边走边唱回天家

赛35:8-10
在那里必有一条大道、称为圣路.污秽人不得经过、必专为赎民行走、行路的人虽愚昧、也不至失迷。在那里必没有狮子、猛兽也不登这路、在那里都遇不见.只有赎民在那里行走。并且耶和华救赎的民必归回、歌唱来到锡安.永乐必归到他们的头上、他们必得着欢喜快乐、忧愁叹息尽都逃避。
A highway will be there, a road, and it will be called The Holy Way. The unclean shall not pass over it, but it will be for those who walk in the Way. Wicked fools will not go there. No lion will be there, nor will any ravenous animal go up on it. They will not be found there; but the redeemed will walk there. The Yahweh's ransomed ones will return, and come with singing to Zion; and everlasting joy will be on their heads. They will obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing will flee away."
主耶稣!祢就是道路,真理,生命。我们借着祢,就能到父那里去。祢说在祢里面有平安,在世上你们有苦难.我们可以放心,因祢已经胜了世界。主啊!我是赎民,因祢的应许,在救赎道上行,有祢的应许,边走边唱回天家。

22/7/2019 万物复兴迎接主

赛35:5-7
那时瞎子的眼必睁开、聋子的耳必开通。那时瘸子必跳跃像鹿、哑巴的舌头必能歌唱.在旷野必有水发出、在沙漠必有河涌流。发光的沙、要变为水池、干渴之地、要变为泉源.在野狗躺卧之处、必有青草、芦苇、和蒲草。
Then the eyes of the blind will be opened, and the ears of the deaf will be unstopped. Then the lame man will leap like a deer, and the tongue of the mute will sing; for waters will break out in the wilderness, and streams in the desert. The burning sand will become a pool, and the thirsty ground springs of water. Grass with reeds and rushes will be in the habitation of jackals, where they lay.
主耶稣!一切有缺陷的,不完整,不完美的,都要被恢复正常来迎接祢。主啊!我的肉身虽然会老化,然而,我相信,祢以恩典为我年岁的冠冕。感谢主,祢恢复我的形象,又使我越来越荣美,我已经预备好来迎接祢的再来。

Saturday, July 20, 2019

21/7/2019 花也要盛开迎接主再来

赛35:1-5
旷野和干旱之地、必然欢喜.沙漠也必快乐.又像玫瑰开花。必开花繁盛、乐上加乐、而且欢呼.利巴嫩的荣耀、并迦密与沙仑的华美、必赐给他.人必看见耶和华的荣耀、我们神的华美。你们要使软弱的手坚壮、无力的膝稳固。对胆怯的人说、你们要刚强、不要惧怕.看哪、你们的神必来报仇、必来施行极大的报应、他必来拯救你们。
The wilderness and the dry land will be glad. The desert will rejoice and blossom like a rose. It will blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing. Lebanon's glory Lebanon will be given to it, the excellence of Carmel and Sharon. They will see Yahweh's glory, the excellence of our God. Strengthen the weak hands, and make firm the feeble knees. Tell those who have a fearful heart, "Be strong. Don't be afraid. Behold, your God will come with vengeance, God's retribution. He will come and save you.
主耶稣!旷野,沙漠,野地的花朵盛开,万物要复兴,迎接祢的再来。主啊!我要像聪明的童女,以喜乐的心,儆醒等候,迎接祢的到来。只要想到祢快回来,一切烦躁,烦恼,烦琐,都如烟飞去。

20/7/2019 神正式宣布报仇之日

赛34:1,2式,5,8
列国阿、要近前来听.众民哪、要侧耳而听.地和其上所充满的、世界和其中一切所出的、都应当听。因为耶和华向万国发忿恨、向他们的全军发烈怒、将他们灭尽、交出他们受杀戮。天上的万象都要消没、天被卷起、好象书卷.其上的万象要残败、像葡萄树的叶子残败、又像无花果树的叶子残败一样。因耶和华有报仇之日、为锡安的争辩、有报应之年。
Come near, you nations, to hear! Listen, you peoples. Let the earth and all it contains hear; the world, and everything that comes from it. For Yahweh is enraged against all the nations, and angry with all their armies. He has utterly destroyed them. He has given them over for slaughter. All of the army of the sky will be dissolved. The sky will be rolled up like a scroll, and all its armies will fade away, as a leaf fades from off a vine or a fig tree. For Yahweh has a day of vengeance, a year of recompense for the cause of Zion.
主耶稣!人类史上,神一而再的告诉世人,要禁止作恶,免得惹了耶和华神的怒气,像挪亚时代,洪水泛滥,罗得时期,所多玛为烈火所毁,人仍旧作恶。不只如此,仇敌还计谋要毁灭以色列国。世人啊,听着,耶和华神说,报仇之日已经来到。主啊!无人能拦阻神将成就的事。

19/7/2019 神说的必定成就

 赛33:10,13,15-17
耶和华说、现在我要起来.我要兴起.我要勃然而兴。你们远方的人、当听我所行的.你们近处的人、当承认我的大能。行事公义、说话正直、憎恶欺压的财利、摆手不受贿赂、塞耳不听流血的话、闭眼不看邪恶事的、他必居高处.他的保障是盘石的坚垒.他的粮必不缺乏,他的水必不断绝。你的眼必见王的荣美、必见辽阔之地。
"Now I will arise," says Yahweh; "Now I will lift myself up. Now I will be exalted. Hear, you who are far off, what I have done; and, you who are near, acknowledge my might." He who walks righteously, and speaks blamelessly; He who despises the gain of oppressions, who gestures with his hands, refusing to take a bribe, who stops his ears from hearing of blood, and shuts his eyes from looking at evil--
he will dwell on high. His place of defense will be the fortress of rocks. His bread will be supplied. His waters will be sure. Your eyes will see the king in his beauty. They will see a distant land.
主耶稣!这是我的盼望,我信所盼望的,因为,这是神所说的远景,必将成就。主啊!我信,祢必再来,我愿,祢快回来。我的眼必见祢的荣美,羔羊坐在宝座上。

Wednesday, July 17, 2019

18/7/2019 丰盛的救恩

赛33:2,5,6
耶和华阿、求你施恩于我们.我们等候你.求你每早晨作我们的膀臂、遭难的时候、为我们的拯救。耶和华被尊崇、因他居在高处.他以公平公义充满锡安。你一生一世必得安稳、有丰盛的救恩、并智慧、和知识.你以敬畏耶和华为至宝。
Yahweh, be gracious to us. We have waited for you. Be our strength every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble. Yahweh is exalted, for he dwells on high. He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness. There will be stability in your times, abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. The fear of Yahweh is your treasure.
主耶稣!我越来越惊叹祢的救恩,先是罪得赦免,赐永生,我们得以称为神的孩子,与亚伯拉罕同蒙应许。祢又称我们为朋友,又赐给我们圣灵,与我们同在。主啊!我一生在祢手中,我还惧怕谁呢?我一生有祢的拯救,我还担心什么呢?我一生有神的帮助,我还在寻求谁呢?我且要一生以敬畏耶和华神为至宝。

17/7/2019 好美的应许

赛32:15-18
等到圣灵从上浇灌我们、旷野就变为肥田、肥田看如树林。那时、公平要居在旷野、公义要居在肥田。公义的果效、必是平安.公义的效验、必是平稳、直到永远。我的百姓、必住在平安的居所、安稳的住处、平静的安歇所。
Until the Spirit is poured on us from on high, and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, and the fruitful field is considered a forest. Then justice will dwell in the wilderness; and righteousness will remain in the fruitful field. The work of righteousness will be peace; and the effect of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever. My people will live in a peaceful habitation, in safe dwellings, and in quiet resting places.
主耶稣!感谢天父,让我看见这副如此美丽的远景。主啊!信就是所望之事的实底,是未见之事的确据。原来,世人所渴想的安逸,其实神早已经为人作预备,平安的居所,安稳的住处,平静的安歇所,这一切都在基督耶稣里。

16/7/2019 唤醒安逸中的子民

赛32:9-12
安逸的妇女阿、起来听我的声音.无虑的女子阿、侧耳听我的言语。无虑的女子阿、再过一年多、必受骚扰.因为无葡萄可摘、无果子可收。安逸的妇女阿、要战兢.无虑的女子阿、要受骚扰.脱去衣服、赤着身体、腰束麻布。他们必为美好的田地、和多结果的葡萄树、捶胸哀哭。
Rise up, you women who are at ease! Hear my voice! You careless daughters, give ear to my speech! For days beyond a year you will be troubled, you careless women; for the vintage shall fail. The harvest won't come. Tremble, you women who are at ease! Be troubled, you careless ones! Strip yourselves, make yourselves naked, and put sackcloth on your waist. Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.
主耶稣!这几节经文,使我想到挪亚的时代,人们安逸享乐。现今,人口城市化,越来越多人住在城市,越来越安逸,如同挪亚的时代,生活放荡,不敬畏神。主啊!求祢施恩,兴起先知,唤醒在安逸中的子民。

15/7/2019 神必照样保护拯救

赛31:4-5
耶和华对我如此说、狮子和少壮狮子、护食咆哮、就是喊许多牧人来攻击他、他总不因他们的声音惊惶、也不因他们的喧哗缩伏.如此、万军之耶和华、也必降临在锡安山冈上争战。雀鸟怎样搧翅覆雏、万军之耶和华也要照样保护耶路撒冷、他必保护拯救、要越门保守。
For thus says Yahweh to me, "As the lion and the young lion growling over his prey, if a multitude of shepherds is called together against him, will not be dismayed at their voice, nor abase himself for their noise, so Yahweh of Armies will come down to fight on Mount Zion and on its heights. As birds hovering, so Yahweh of Armies will protect Jerusalem. He will protect and deliver it. He will pass over and preserve it."
主耶稣!神已经明说,那日列国联军将会攻打以色列国。神也清楚表明,他将会保护耶路撒冷,拯救以色列民,并且会越门保守。主啊!愿祢的国降临,愿祢的旨意行在地上,如同行在天上。这世上有患难,在祢里面有平安。愿祢的平安充满我们。

14/7/2019 这将会是个怎样的一天

赛30:26
当耶和华缠裹他百姓的损处、医治他民鞭伤的日子、月光必像日光、日光必加七倍、像七日的光一样。
Moreover the light of the moon will be like the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times brighter, like the light of seven days, in the day that Yahweh binds up the fracture of his people, and heals the wound they were struck with.
主耶稣!这将会是个怎样的一天,日光再加七倍,宇宙会有何变化?宇宙还能存留吗?主啊!神的话安定在天,说成必成,说立就立。神的拯救和审判,都要在同一天发生。我明白了,那一天有惊恐,同时也有兴奋。我会以兴奋的心情,迎接那一天。

13/7/2019 苦难中有意义

赛30:20,21
主虽然以艰难给你当饼、以困苦给你当水、你的教师却不再隐藏、你眼必看见你的教师.你或向左、或向右、你必听见后边有声音说、这是正路、要行在其间。
Though the Lord may give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet your teachers won't be hidden anymore, but your eyes will see your teachers; and when you turn to the right hand, and when you turn to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, "This is the way. Walk in it."
主耶稣!我面对的艰难困苦,我晓得祢都看见,我虽然不能明白,祢为何迟迟没有帮助我,救我脱离这一切。然而,主啊!我听到祢的话说:我的恩典够你用。因着祢的话,我活了,我变得有智慧,苦难使我更亲近祢,更多经历祢的信实,经历苦难使我深信,会留下更多见证神荣耀的事迹。

Thursday, July 11, 2019

12/7/2019 耶和华在等我

赛30:18
耶和华必然等候、要施恩给你们.必然兴起、好怜悯你们.因为耶和华是公平的神.凡等候他的都是有福的。
Therefore Yahweh will wait, that he may be gracious to you; and therefore he will be exalted, that he may have mercy on you, for Yahweh is a God of justice. Blessed are all those who wait for him.
主耶稣!我们是谁,尊贵的耶和华神,竟然在等候我们,这是何等大的恩典。主啊!我需要平静安稳,归回安息,学习停留等候神,倚靠神,免得我忽略了神的同在。我不再只是目标导向,只忙着作事,忘了神在等我,忘了人生的意义。

Wednesday, July 10, 2019

11/7/2019 重新规划

赛30:15
主耶和华以色列的圣者曾如此说、你们得救在乎归回安息.你们得力在乎平静安稳.你们竟自不肯.你们却说、不然、我们要骑马奔走.所以你们必然奔走.又说、我们要骑飞快的牲口.所以追赶你们的、也必飞快。
For thus said the Lord Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel, "You will be saved in returning and rest. Your strength will be in quietness and in confidence." You refused, but you said, "No, for we will flee on horses"; therefore you will flee; and, "We will ride on the swift"; therefore those who pursue you will be swift.
主耶稣!以色列民顽固,藐视神的劝告,坚持己见, 不愿意归回,不晓得仇敌速速来到。主啊!我要重新规划我的生活作息,把归回安息,平静安稳,列入我的日常工作行程中,全心倚靠,完全顺服神的吩咐。

10/7/2019 顷刻之间,忽然坍塌

赛30:9,10,12,13
因为他们是悖逆的百姓、说谎的儿女、不肯听从耶和华训诲的儿女。他们对先见说、不要望见不吉利的事、对先知说、不要向我们讲正直的话、要向我们说柔和的话、言虚幻的事。所以以色列的圣者如此说、因为你们藐视这训诲的话、倚赖欺压和乖僻、以此为可靠的.故此、这罪孽在你们身上、好象将要破裂凸出来的高墙、顷刻之间、忽然坍塌。
For it is a rebellious people, lying children, children who will not hear the law of Yahweh; who tell the seers, "Don't see!" and to the prophets, "Don't prophesy to us right things. Tell us pleasant things. Prophesy deceits. Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel, "Because you despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and rely on it; therefore this iniquity shall be to you like a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking comes suddenly in an instant.
主耶稣!我看到以色列国内有许多古迹,虽然发生在不同时期,却有着同样的根源,就是向神叛逆,不领会神的教诲,城招来毁灭。主啊!求祢在全地兴起先见,勇敢说祢要他们传递的信息。求祢赐谦卑和悔改的心,免得我们的家园顷刻之间,忽然坍塌。

Monday, July 8, 2019

9/7/2019 自以为聪明

赛30:1-3
耶和华说、祸哉、这悖逆的儿女.他们同谋、却不由于我、结盟、却不由于我的灵、以至罪上加罪.起身下埃及去、并没有求问我.要靠法老的力量、加添自己的力量、并投在埃及的荫下.所以法老的力量、必作你们的羞辱、投在埃及的荫下、要为你们的惭愧。
"Woe to the rebellious children," says Yahweh, "who take counsel, but not from me; and who make an alliance, but not with my Spirit, that they may add sin to sin, who set out to go down into Egypt, and have not asked my advice; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to take refuge in the shadow of Egypt! Therefore the strength of Pharaoh will be your shame, and the refuge in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.
主耶稣!我看见许多人,想结交有权有势的人,来建立自己的声望和势力,却不晓得所倚靠的是个"木偶"。主啊!我思想,自古以来,多少自以为聪明,认为所作的决定超越众人。他们都面对一样的下场,身败名裂。

8/7/2019 不再迷糊,不再发怨言

赛29:22-23
所以救赎亚伯拉罕的耶和华、论雅各家如此说、雅各必不再羞愧、面容也不至变色。但他看见他的众子、就是我手的工作、在他那里、他们必尊我的名为圣、必尊雅各的圣者为圣、必敬畏以色列的 神。心中迷糊的、必得明白、发怨言的、必受训诲。
Therefore thus says Yahweh, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob: "Jacob shall no longer be ashamed, neither shall his face grow pale. But when he sees his children, the work of my hands, in the midst of him, they will sanctify my name. Yes, they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and will stand in awe of the God of Israel. They also who err in spirit will come to understanding, and those who grumble will receive instruction."
主耶稣!这几节经文,让我想起以色列民在旷野的光景,习惯性发怨言,喜爱抱怨。结果一代的人在旷野中渡过。主啊!我要领受训诲,脱离迷糊,心存感恩,禁止口舌不出怨言。

Saturday, July 6, 2019

7/7/2019 神顾念谦卑人和贫穷人

赛29:15-19
祸哉、那些向耶和华深藏谋略的、又在暗中行事、说、谁看见我们呢.谁知道我们呢。你们把事颠倒了.岂可看窑匠如泥么.被制作的物岂可论制作物的说、他没有制作我。或是被创造的物论造物的说、他没有聪明。利巴嫩变为肥田、肥田看如树林、不是只有一点点时候么。那时、聋子必听见这书上的话.瞎子的眼、必从迷蒙黑暗中得以看见。谦卑人、必因耶和华增添欢喜.人间贫穷的、必因以色列的圣者快乐。
Woe to those who deeply hide their counsel from Yahweh, and whose works are in the dark, and who say, "Who sees us?" and "Who knows us?" You turn things upside down! Should the potter be thought to be like clay; that the thing made should say about him who made it, "He didn't make me"; or the thing formed say of him who formed it, "He has no understanding?" Isn't it yet a very little while, and Lebanon will be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field will be regarded as a forest? In that day, the deaf will hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind will see out of obscurity and out of darkness. The humble also will increase their joy in Yahweh, and the poor among men will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
主耶稣!恶人作乐,却不知审判者已经坐在审判台上,预备开审。主啊!我得安慰,因为神从来没有忘记谦卑人和贫穷人,他们都必蒙神的祝福,有安慰,有喜乐。

6/7/2019 亲近神要靠心

赛29:13-14
主说、因为这百姓亲近我、用嘴唇尊敬我、心却远离我.他们敬畏我、不过是领受人的吩咐。所以我在这百姓中要行奇妙的事、就是奇妙又奇妙的事.他们智慧人的智慧、必然消灭、聪明人的聪明、必然隐藏。
The Lord said, "Because this people draws near with their mouth and with their lips to honor me, but they have removed their heart far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment of men which has been taught,  therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder; and the wisdom of their wise men will perish, and the understanding of their prudent men will be hidden."
主耶稣!若靠知识,按照条规来亲近神,心却远离爱神,不过是在进行宗教礼仪。主啊!我要以真心和诚心亲近神。我要以良心和善心跟随神。我要以爱心和热心服事神。我要以凡事讨神喜悦为重点,以叫父神得荣耀为中心。

5/7/2019 神求祢教导我

赛28:26-29
因为他的神教导他务农相宜、并且指教他。原来打小茴香、不用尖利的器具、轧大茴香、也不用车轮。但用杖打小茴香、用棍打大茴香。作饼的粮食是用磨磨碎、因他不必常打.虽用碌碡和马打散、却不磨他。这也是出于万军之耶和华.他的谋略奇妙、他的智慧广大。
For his God instructs him in right judgment, and teaches him. For the dill are not threshed with a sharp instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned over the cumin; but the dill is beaten out with a stick, and the cumin with a rod. Bread flour must be ground; so he will not always be threshing it. Although he drives the wheel of his threshing cart over it, his horses don't grind it. This also comes forth from Yahweh of Armies, who is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in wisdom.
主耶稣!耶和华神不偏待世人,神教导以色列民,也教导外邦的农民务农的知识。主啊!求祢教导我,好让我也可以有像犹太人同样教养孩子的思维。

4/7/2019 福音传回耶路撒冷

赛28:11
先知说、不然、主要藉异邦人的嘴唇、和外邦人的舌头、对这百姓说话.
But he will speak to this nation with stammering lips and in another language.
主耶稣!神作事,先说明,再行事。使徒将福音传遍天下,外邦人蒙恩得救,并为耶路撒冷求平安。万物复兴的日子将到,主祢再来的日子迫近。得救的人,殉道者的数目已快要满足,福音也正在神速传回耶路撒冷。主啊!神所定的旨意必定按时成就。这世代的人有福了,他们有恩典,可以看到神在外邦人当中的奇妙作为。

3/7/2019 我所夸的冠冕

赛28:1,2,5,6
祸哉、以法莲的酒徒、住在肥美谷的山上、他们心里高傲、以所夸的为冠冕、犹如将残之花。看哪、主有一大能大力者、像一阵冰雹、像毁灭的暴风、像涨溢的大水、他必用手将冠冕摔落于地。到那日、万军之耶和华必作他余剩之民的荣冠华冕.也作了在位上行审判者公平之灵、并城门口打退仇敌者的力量。
Woe to the crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim, and to the fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fertile valley of those who are overcome with wine! Behold, the Lord has a mighty and strong one. Like a storm of hail, a destroying storm, and like a storm of mighty waters overflowing, he will cast them down to the earth with his hand. In that day, Yahweh of Armies will become a crown of glory, and a diadem of beauty, to the residue of his people, and a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment, and strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.
主耶稣!人以成就为冠冕,是愚昧人。主啊!我所夸的是神在我软弱时的扶助,在我跌倒时的爱护,在我绝望时的安慰。我所夸是耶和华是我的神,是我生命,力量的源头。我所夸的是耶和华神的话语,公义与正直,怜悯与慈爱。

2/7/2019 列国因以色列而蒙祝福

赛27:6
将来雅各要扎根、以色列要发芽开花.他们的果实、必充满世界。
In days to come, Jacob will take root. Israel will blossom and bud. They will fill the surface of the world with fruit.
主耶稣!何等奇妙的恩典,耶和华神向列国施慈爱和怜悯,祝福亚伯拉罕后裔有如此般的智慧聪明才智,不单是在科技上,农业,药业,祝福了列国,在人道支援,也使列国蒙福。主啊!我向天父献上感恩的祭,为以色列国求平安。求圣灵光照,让反对以色列国的国家领导,除去他们刚硬的心。

1/7/2019 到那日点名的时候

赛27:1,12-13
到那日、耶和华必用他刚硬有力的大刀、刑罚鳄鱼、就是那快行的蛇、刑罚鳄鱼就是那曲行的蛇.并杀海中的大鱼。以色列人哪、到那日、耶和华必从大河、直到埃及小河、将你们一一地收集、如同人打树拾果一样。当那日、必大发角声.在亚述地将要灭亡的、并在埃及地被赶散的、都要来.他们就在耶路撒冷圣山上敬拜耶和华。
In that day, Yahweh with his hard and great and strong sword will punish leviathan, the fleeing serpent, and leviathan the twisted serpent; and he will kill the dragon that is in the sea. It will happen in that day, that Yahweh will thresh from the flowing stream of the Euphrates to the brook of Egypt; and you will be gathered one by one, children of Israel. It will happen in that day that a great trumpet will be blown; and those who were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and those who were outcasts in the land of Egypt, shall come; and they will worship Yahweh in the holy mountain at Jerusalem.
主耶稣!到那日,耶和华神将我们一一地收集。当那日,号角响起,也是点名的时候。耶和华神会一一地点名。主啊!感谢祢赦罪之恩,感谢祢向天父求圣灵的祈祷,感谢圣灵在我身上作成了重生的工作和加上印记。感谢天父的慈爱,因信基督耶稣是主,如今在生命册上有我的名字。

30/6/2019 那日我们当行的

赛26:20-21
我的百姓阿、你们要来进入内室、关上门、隐藏片时、等到忿怒过去。因为耶和华从他的居所出来、要刑罚地上居民的罪孽.地也必露出其中的血、不再掩盖被杀的人。
Come, my people, enter into your rooms, and shut your doors behind you. Hide yourself for a little moment, until the indignation is past. For, behold, Yahweh comes forth out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity. The earth also will disclose her blood, and will no longer cover her slain.
主耶稣!当那天耶和华神向全地显出公义,执行公审的曰子,我们当行的是进入内室。主啊!我要做好内室的工夫,预备好在内室与神亲近,在那里得着鼓励和安慰的力量,心中有平静和安稳,我和我的家人也要一同在内室,耶和华神也必亲自保守,救我们全家脱离一切恶者的攻击,直到直到神忿怒过去。

29/6/2019 复活的盼望

赛26:14,19
他们死了、必不能再活.他们去世、必不能再起.因为你刑罚他们、毁灭他们、他们的名号就全然消灭。你的死人要复活.我的尸首要兴起。睡在尘埃的阿、要醒起歌唱.因你的甘露好象菜蔬上的甘露、地也要交出死人来。
The dead shall not live. The deceased shall not rise. Therefore have you visited and destroyed them, and caused all memory of them to perish. Your dead shall live. My dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust; for your dew is like the dew of herbs, and the earth will cast forth the dead.
主耶稣!因为天父的意思,是叫一切见子而信的人得永生,并且在末日祢要叫他复活。主啊!古时未见到祢面的人,因信靠天父,天父应许他们要复活。我们未曾见过祢,因信祢是救主,是基督,是永生神的儿子,因着信,我们也必复活得永生。
