弥5:2
伯利恒以法他阿、你在犹大诸城中为小、将来必有一位从你那里出来、在以色列中为我作掌权的．他的根源从亘古、从太初就有。
But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, being small among the clans of Judah, out of you one will come forth to me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting.
主耶稣！经上一切关于祢的预言都一一的应验了。祢的诞生, 历史都有记载, 在世上生活的原址也被保留。主啊！我深信祢是基督, 是弥赛亚, 是救赎主。祢将再来, 经上的顶言尽都成了。
弥4:1-2
末后的日子、耶和华殿的山必坚立、超乎诸山、高举过于万岭．万民都要流归这山。必有许多国的民前往、说、来吧、我们登耶和华的山、奔雅各神的殿．主必将他的道教训我们、我们也要行他的路．因为训诲必出于锡安、耶和华的言语、必出于耶路撒冷。
But in the latter days, it will happen that the mountain of Yahweh's temple will be established on the top of the mountains, and it will be exalted above the hills; and peoples will stream to it. Many nations will go and say, "Come, and let us go up to the mountain of Yahweh, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths." For out of Zion will go forth the law, and the word of Yahweh from Jerusalem;
主耶稣！冠状病毒肆虐全球之前, 每年都有成千上万的基督前往耶路撒冷, 正如这里所形容的日子。相信在未后的日子, 这情景将会正次重现。主啊！我愿祢快快再来。
弥3:11
首领为贿赂行审判、祭司为雇价施训诲、先知为银钱行占卜．他们却倚赖耶和华、说、耶和华不是在我们中间么．灾祸必不临到我们。
Her leaders judge for bribes, and her priests teach for a price, and her prophets of it tell fortunes for money: yet they lean on Yahweh, and say, "Isn't Yahweh in the midst of us? No disaster will come on us."
主耶稣！今早的经文使我自我反省, 我对服事教会, 福音机构等圣工的动机, 是因为那里需要我的帮助？在那里我被接纳, 被肯定？ 在那里我感到有价值？主啊！我已经清楚知道, 明了, 我事奉神的动机, 不是爱事工, 不是喜好人的掌声, 乃是爱神爱人 。
弥3:8
至于我、我藉耶和华的灵、满有力量公平才能、可以向雅各说明他的过犯、向以色列指出他的罪恶。
But as for me, I am full of power by the Spirit of Yahweh, and of judgment, and of might, to declare to Jacob his disobedience, and to Israel his sin.
主耶稣！弥迦先知藉耶和华的灵, 向人说明神的属性, 公义, 正直的准绳, 勇于指明人的过犯。许多时候, 我们把渴慕圣灵充满, 希望得着能力的焦点放在行神迹。主啊！求神怜悯, 赦免我们的幼稚, 医治我们的无知。
弥3:5,7
论到使我民走差路的先知、他们牙齿有所嚼的、他们就呼喊说、平安了．凡不供给他们吃的、他们就预备攻击他．耶和华如此说、..先见必抱愧、占卜的必蒙羞、都必摀着嘴唇、因为神不应允他们。
Thus says Yahweh concerning the prophets who lead my people astray; for those who feed their teeth, they proclaim, "Peace!" and whoever doesn't provide for their mouths, they prepare war against him: ..The seers shall be disappointed, and the diviners confounded. Yes, they shall all cover their lips; for there is no answer from God."
主耶稣！这里形容有使人走差路的先知, 他们为了饱足私, 藐视神的托负。我观看, 这时代,有教会的牧者, 领导, 为了满足私欲, 添加了人的知识当真理, 使人走差路。主啊！求祢来洁净祢名下的教会。
弥2:10,13
你们起来去吧．这不是你们安息之所．因为污秽使人毁灭、而且大大毁灭。开路的在他们前面上去．他们直闯过城门、从城门出去．他们的王在前面行、耶和华引导他们。
Arise, and depart! For this is not your resting place, because of uncleanness that destroys, even with a grievous destruction. He who breaks open the way goes up before them. They break through the gate, and go out. And their king passes on before them, with Yahweh at their head.
主耶稣！弥迦先知说神的话, 带着权威, 凡敬畏神的话, 神的名的人, 都会以行动来回应。主啊！我祈求圣灵运行在我的身上, 有强烈的感动, 有信心, 行为, 回应神的话, 勇敢走出去, 完成开路先锋的使命。
弥2:7-8
雅各家阿、岂可说、耶和华的心肠狭窄么，这些事是他所行的么。我耶和华的言语、岂不是与行动正直的人有益么。然而近来我的民兴起如仇敌、从那些安然经过不愿打仗之人身上剥去外衣．
Shall it be said, O house of Jacob: "Is the Spirit of Yahweh angry? Are these his doings? Don't my words do good to him who walks blamelessly?" But lately my people have risen up as an enemy. You strip the robe and clothing from those who pass by without a care, returning from battle.
主耶稣！多少时候, 人因犯罪处在患难中, 不为自己的过犯悔改, 还责怪神心肠狭窄, 偏心, 没有帮助他。然而, 敬畏耶和华神的人都说, 耶和华有恩惠, 有怜悯, 不轻易发怒, 大有慈爱。主啊！我要一生一世敬畏耶和华神的名, 神的话。一生一世称颂神的信实, 直到永远。
弥2:1-2
祸哉、那些在床上图谋罪孽造作奸恶的．天一发亮、因手有能力、就行出来了。他们贪图田地就占据．贪图房屋便夺取．他们欺压人、霸占房屋和产业。
Woe to those who devise iniquity and work evil on their beds! When the morning is light, they practice it, because it is in the power of their hand. They covet fields, and seize them; and houses, and take them away: and they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
主耶稣！恶人贪婪的心永不停歇,夜晚在床上图谋罪孽, 白天就去行。冠状病毒疫情肆虐, 没有良心的商人, 与没有怜悯之心的政客, 共谋行恶, 谋求私利。主啊！求祢的审判, 刑罚速速临到他们。
弥1:2-3
万民哪、你们都要听．地和其上所有的、也都要侧耳而听．主耶和华从他的圣殿要见证你们的不是。看哪、耶和华出了他的居所、降临步行地的高处．
Hear, you peoples, all of you. Listen, O earth, and all that is therein: and let the Lord Yahweh be witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple. For, behold, Yahweh comes forth out of his place, and will come down and tread on the high places of the earth.
主耶稣！我们高举知识, 凭着自己的聪明, 为软弱, 罪行, 恶行, 找理由来为自己辩护 。却不晓得, 无所不知的神要见证我们不是。主啊！我们没有竭力去行所该行的善。爱挑别人的软弱和恶行, 掩饰自己所行的恶。求祢赦免我们自欺的恶行。
拿4:9-11
神对约拿说、你因这棵蓖麻发怒合乎理么．他说、我发怒以至于死、都合乎理。耶和华说、这蓖麻不是你栽种的、也不是你培养的．一夜发生、一夜干死你尚且爱惜．何况这尼尼微大城、其中不能分辨左手右手的有十二万多人、并有许多牲畜、我岂能不爱惜呢。
God said to Jonah, "Is it right for you to be angry about the vine?" He said, "I am right to be angry, even to death." Yahweh said, "You have been concerned for the vine, for which you have not labored, neither made it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night. Shouldn't I be concerned for Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than one hundred twenty thousand persons who can't discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much livestock?"
主耶稣！约拿先知对神的无礼, 强硬的态度, 十足像个幼稚无知的小孩。我也看见自己的软弱和不成熟, 就好像约拿对祢的态度, 向祢无礼, 不承认自己的问题, 还向祢嘴硬。主啊！我为自己的嘴硬, 无礼, 不尊敬的态度, 向祢求赦免。
拿4:6-8
耶和华神安排一棵蓖麻、使其发生高过约拿、影儿遮盖他的头、救他脱离苦楚．约拿因这棵蓖麻大大喜乐。次日黎明、神却安排一条虫子、咬这蓖麻、以致枯槁。日头出来的时候、神安排炎热的东风．日头曝晒约拿的头、使他发昏、他就为自己求死、说、我死了比活着还好。
Yahweh God prepared a vine, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shade over his head, to deliver him from his discomfort. So Jonah was exceedingly glad because of the vine. But God prepared a worm at dawn the next day, and it chewed on the vine, so that it withered.
It happened, when the sun arose, that God prepared a sultry east wind; and the sun beat on Jonah's head, so that he fainted, and requested for himself that he might die, and said, "It is better for me to die than to live."
主耶稣！自然界发生的现象, 我们许多时候把它视为自然, 却忘了留意现象背后神在说什么？主啊！我祈求祢赐给我有属灵的洞察力, 可以在观看自然界中的事务, 晓得它们背后的属灵知识.
拿4:3-4
耶和华阿、现在求你取我的命吧．因为我死了比活着还好。耶和华说、你这样发怒合乎理么。
Therefore now, Yahweh, take, I beg you, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live."
Yahweh said, "Is it right for you to be angry?"
主耶稣！读到这里, 我好像看到自己很像约拿, 有对神不满, 还生神的气。这话"你这样发怒合乎理么"！好像圣灵正在与我说话。主啊！求祢赦免我的愚昧无知, 对神的无礼。还自以为是, 求祢赐给我悔改的恩典。
拿4:1-2
这事约拿大大不悦、且甚发怒。就祷告耶和华说、耶和华阿、我在本国的时候、岂不是这样说么．我知道你是有恩典、有怜悯的 神、不轻易发怒、有丰盛的慈爱、并且后悔不降所说的灾．所以我急速逃往他施去。
But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was angry. He prayed to Yahweh, and said, "Please, Yahweh, wasn't this what I said when I was still in my own country? Therefore I hurried to flee to Tarshish, for I knew that you are a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and you relent of doing harm.
主耶稣！约拿认识神的属性, 却让负面消极情感思维来主导。主啊！求祢帮助我们, 认识自身的情绪导向, 不让自己负面情感智慧主导, 我要祈求圣灵, 常常充满我, 常常处在积极情感智慧中行事。
拿3:10
于是神察看他们的行为、见他们离开恶道、他就后悔、不把所说的灾祸降与他们了。
God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way. God relented of the disaster which he said he would do to them, and he didn't do it.
主耶稣！尼尼微城全国从老到少, 从上到下, 人人谦卑, 同心认罪悔改, 诚心除去恶行, 耶和华从天观看, 赦免他们, 免了他们该受的刑罚。主啊！我看见, 耶和华神不把所说的灾祸降与尼尼微城, 是出于神怜悯。求满有慈爱, 怜悯的神, 向我们家施恩, 祝福我们全家和亲人, 每一位都听见福音, 有认罪悔改信心。
拿3:4-6
约拿进城走了一日、宣告说、再等四十日、尼尼微必倾覆了。尼尼微人信服神、便宣告禁食、从最大的到至小的都穿麻衣。这信息传到尼尼微王的耳中、他就下了宝座、脱下朝服、披上麻布、坐在灰中。
Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried out, and said, "In forty days, Nineveh will be overthrown!"
The people of Nineveh believed God; and they proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from their greatest even to their least. The news reached the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and took off his royal robe, covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
主耶稣！这是大奇迹, 因国王的谦卑, 全国悔改。主啊！求祢赦免我们的不信, 认为国家领导, 家人, 亲友不会听我们分享的福音, 不可能悔改。求圣灵施恩启示我们, 重新点燃为主作见证的热心。
拿3:1-3
耶和华的话、二次临到约拿说、你起来、往尼尼微大城去、向其中的居民宣告我所吩咐你的话。约拿便照耶和华的话起来、往尼尼微去。这尼尼微是极大的城、有三日的路程。
The word of Yahweh came to Jonah the second time, saying,
"Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach to it the message that I give you." So Jonah arose, and went to Nineveh, according to the word of Yahweh. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city, three days' journey across.
主耶稣！神可以差派其他人, 却是给约拿第二次的机会。主啊！感谢神的选召没有改变, 神所赐的恩赐也不后悔, 我们几时知错, 认罪悔改, 神仍在等候, 要赐给我们第二次的机会。
拿2:8-10
那信奉虚无之神的人、离弃怜爱他们的主．但我必用感谢的声音献祭与你．我所许的愿、我必偿还。救恩出于耶和华。耶和华吩咐鱼、鱼就把约拿吐在旱地上。
Those who regard lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
But I will sacrifice to you with the voice of thanksgiving. I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation belongs to Yahweh."
Yahweh spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah on the dry land.
主耶稣！ 我想到经上说, 因为他们虽然知道神，却不当作神荣耀他, 也不感谢他, 他们的思念变为虚妄, 无知的心就昏暗了。主啊！几时我们没有感恩的心, 就会像敬拜虚无之神的人。在新的一年, 我要更加儆醒感恩, 凡事谢恩, 不忘报恩。
拿2:1,2,4,7
约拿在鱼腹中祷告耶和华他的 神、说、我遭遇患难求告耶和华、你就应允我．从阴间的深处呼求、你就俯听我的声音。我说、我从你眼前虽被驱逐、我仍要仰望你的圣殿。我心在我里面发昏的时候、我就想念耶和华。我的祷告进入你的圣殿、达到你的面前。
Then Jonah prayed to Yahweh, his God, out of the fish's belly. He said, "I called because of my affliction to Yahweh. He answered me. Out of the belly of Sheol I cried. You heard my voice. I said, 'I have been banished from your sight; yet I will look again toward your holy temple.' "When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Yahweh. My prayer came in to you, into your holy temple.
主耶稣！我看到约拿先知内心的挣扎, 从逃避神到面对神。主啊！有弟兄姐妹在患难中, 过去躲避神, 现在奉祢名向耶和华神求告, 求天父的怜悯临到他们, 救他们脱离患难。
拿1:14,16
他们便求告耶和华说、耶和华阿、我们恳求你、不要因这人的性命使我们死亡．不要使流无辜血的罪归与我们．因为你耶和华是随自己的意旨行事。..那些人便大大敬畏耶和华、向耶和华献祭、并且许愿。
Therefore they cried to Yahweh, and said, "We beg you, Yahweh, we beg you, don't let us die for this man's life, and don't lay on us innocent blood; for you, Yahweh, have done as it pleased you."
..Then the men feared Yahweh exceedingly; and they offered a sacrifice to Yahweh, and made vows.
主耶稣！我们永远测不透神奇妙的作为。约拿好像是带给他人不幸, 结果是成为他人的祝福。主啊！我们不再糊涂, 怀疑神的慈爱, 不相信神的信实, 求主赦免, 我相信神的救恩要临到众人。我得时不得时, 总要抓住机遇, 有能力成为别人的祝福, 见证神的救恩。
拿1:11-12
他们问他说、我们当向你怎样行、使海浪平静呢．这话是因海浪越发翻腾。他对他们说、你们将我抬起来、拋在海中、海就平静了．我知道你们遭这大风、是因我的缘故。
Then they said to him, "What shall we do to you, that the sea may be calm to us?" For the sea grew more and more stormy. He said to them, "Take me up, and throw me into the sea. Then the sea will be calm for you; for I know that because of me this great storm is on you."
主耶稣！约拿先知的回答, 让我有新的看见, 家人遇见的困境, 或许是我不顺服神所引起的。主啊！求祢赦免我的不顺服, 我要为家人的困境向祢祈求, 我要承担不顺服的后果, 接受神的处罚。求祢的帮助临到我的家人。
拿1:7,9
船上的人彼此说、来吧、我们掣签、看看这灾临到我们是因谁的缘故．于是他们掣签、掣出约拿来。..他说、我是希伯来人。我敬畏耶和华、那创造沧海旱地之天上的神。
They all said to each other, "Come, let us cast lots, that we may know who is responsible for this evil that is on us." So they cast lots, and the lot fell on Jonah...He said to them, "I am a Hebrew, and I fear Yahweh, the God of heaven, who has made the sea and the dry land."
主耶稣！ 约拿躲避耶和华神, 却没有否定耶和华是他所敬畏的神。主啊！我与未认识祢的人同在一处, 共同面对生活的艰难, 求圣灵大大充满我, 勇于面对苦难, 有勇气承认, 作见证, 我是信基督的, 敬畏耶和华, 那创造沧海旱地之天上的神。
拿1:5-6
水手便惧怕、各人哀求自己的神．他们将船上的货物拋在海中、为要使船轻些。约拿已下到底舱、躺卧沉睡。船主到他那里对他说、你这沉睡的人哪、为何这样呢。起来、求告你的神、或者神顾念我们、使我们不至灭亡。
Then the mariners were afraid, and every man cried to his god. They threw the cargo that was in the ship into the sea to lighten the ship. But Jonah had gone down into the innermost parts of the ship, and he was laying down, and was fast asleep. So the shipmaster came to him, and said to him, "What do you mean, sleeper? Arise, call on your God! Maybe your God will notice us, so that we won't perish."
主耶稣！今早, 你这沉睡的人哪, 这句话是冲着我说的。主啊！我要起来, 不再沉睡。我要兴起, 奉主名向神求告, 求主差派我, 用我, 成为传扬主福音的使者。
拿1:3-4
约拿却起来、逃往他施去躲避耶和华．下到约帕、遇见一只船、要往他施去。他就给了船价、上了船、要与船上的人同往他施去躲避耶和华。然而耶和华使海中起大风、海就狂风大作、甚至船几乎破坏。
But Jonah rose up to flee to Tarshish from the presence of Yahweh. He went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish; so he paid its fare, and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of Yahweh. But Yahweh sent out a great wind on the sea, and there was a mighty storm on the sea, so that the ship was likely to break up.
主耶稣！我相信神正在呼召基督徒起来传福音, 我也看见许多神呼召的人像约拿先知一样, 以躲避来回应神的呼召。主啊！我求圣灵充满, 叫我放胆, 顺服神的选召, 得时不得时, 抓紧机会, 为主作见证。
拿1:1-2
耶和华的话临到亚米太的儿子约拿、说、你起来往尼尼微大城去、向其中的居民呼喊、因为他们的恶达到我面前。
Now the word of Yahweh came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, "Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach against it, for their wickedness has come up before me."
主耶稣！尼尼微城的罪恶达到神的面前, 神呼召约拿呼吁尼尼微城的居民悔改。神爱世人, 仍在呼召这时代的约拿。主啊！求祢呼召敬畏祢名的百姓, 求圣灵摧使爱祢的人, 回应神的呼召, 向这罪恶的世界呼吁, 劝人悔改。
俄1:21
必有拯救者上到锡安山、审判以扫山．国度就归耶和华了。
Saviors will go up on Mount Zion to judge the mountains of Esau, and the kingdom will be Yahweh's.
主耶稣！我想起约沙法王听信雅哈悉先知的话, 信耶和华神, 就必立稳, 信他的先知就必亨通。主啊！我信祢是弥赛亚, 是基督, 永生神的儿子。我信祢的救赎恩典, 祢代替我的刑罚, 为我的罪被钉死在十字架上。我信祢必再快来。
俄1:15-16
耶和华降罚的日子临近万国．你怎样行、他也必照样向你行．你的报应必归到你头上。你们犹大人在我圣山怎样喝了苦杯、万国也必照样常常地喝．且喝且咽、他们就归于无有。
For the day of Yahweh is near all the nations! As you have done, it will be done to you. Your deeds will return upon your own head.
For as you have drunk on my holy mountain, so will all the nations drink continually. Yes, they will drink, swallow down, and will be as though they had not been.
主耶稣！我看到恶人行恶, 乐在其中, 不顾他人的痛苦。我还看到有恶人临死前还有欺负人的行为。求祢安慰受欺的人, 求称的审判临到恶人的家。主啊！过去我也有行神眼中看为恶的事, 栽种了恶的种子, 求主赦免, 也求主拔除我心中那恶的毒根。
摩9:14-15
我必使我民以色列被掳的归回、他们必重修荒废的城邑居住、栽种葡萄园、喝其中所出的酒．修造果木园、吃其中的果子。我要将他们栽于本地、他们不再从我所赐给他们的地上拔出来．这是耶和华你的神说的。
I will bring my people Israel back from captivity, and they will rebuild the ruined cities, and inhabit them; and they will plant vineyards, and drink wine from them. They shall also make gardens, and eat their fruit. I will plant them on their land, and they will no more be plucked up out of their land which I have given them," says Yahweh your God.
主耶稣！ 神三番四次晓喻以色列民, 除祂以外, 不可事奉其他的神,以色列民仍硬颈项, 多次重犯得罪了神。然而, 神不离不弃的爱却不丢弃他们。只因为神就是爱！ 主啊！罪的工价就是死, 神的爱却永远活着, 不会忘记祂所爱的人。
摩9:11
到那日、我必建立大卫倒塌的帐幕、堵住其中的破口、把那破坏的建立起来、重新修造、像古时一样．
In that day I will raise up the tent of David who is fallen, and close up its breaches, and I will raise up its ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old;
主耶稣！我看到以色列所失去的仍是神的荣耀。主啊！我明白了, 求圣灵帮助我, 在新的一年的起点, 全心全意回转归向神, 我承认在我心里面的确有被破坏的地方, 对祷告和敬拜有歪曲的信念, 我要重新被建造, 要被建立起来。我要重新修造祷告敬拜的祭坛, 恢复神要在我身上显示的荣耀。
摩9:8
主耶和华的眼目察看这有罪的国．必将这国从地上灭绝、却不将雅各家灭绝净尽．这是耶和华说的。
Behold, the eyes of the Lord Yahweh are on the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the surface of the earth; except that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob," says Yahweh.
主耶稣！今早这节经文带给我们极大的安慰, 神再次肯定祂是守约施慈爱。因为神与亚伯拉罕立约, 神不将以色列国灭绝净尽。主啊！感谢神的怜悯, 因为祢的恩典, 我们因信, 如今得以进入神与亚伯拉罕所立的约。
摩9:5-6
主万军之耶和华摸地、地就消化、凡住在地上的都必悲哀．地必全然像尼罗河涨起、如同埃及河落下。那在天上建造楼阁、在地上安定穹苍、命海水浇在地上的、耶和华是他的名。
For the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, is he who touches the land and it melts, and all who dwell in it will mourn; and it will rise up wholly like the River, and will sink again, like the River of Egypt. It is he who builds his rooms in the heavens, and has founded his vault on the earth; he who calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the surface of the earth; Yahweh is his name.
主耶稣！经上说, 主的日子要像贼来到一样, 那日天必大有响声废去, 有形质的都要被烈火销化, 地和其上的物都要烧尽了。主啊！我相信祢所说的, 祢到父那里, 为我预备居所, 我的心就得着盼望, 不再惊慌。
摩9:1
我看见主站在祭坛旁边．他说、你要击打柱顶、使门槛震动、打碎柱顶落在众人头上．所剩下的人我必用刀杀戮．无一人能逃避、无一人能逃脱。
I saw the Lord standing beside the altar, and he said, "Strike the tops of the pillars, that the thresholds may shake; and break them in pieces on the head of all of them; and I will kill the last of them with the sword: there shall not one of them flee away, and there shall not one of them escape.
主耶稣！我听到了, 在审判的时候, 无论他是谁, 无一人能逃避, 无一人能逃脱。主啊！我活着的每一天, 我都要来到神的施恩座前， 向神求恩典与怜悯。
