Scripture Reading : Psalm 75
Theme : God’s End Time Judgement
- God Appoints Judgment (1–3). This psalm is God’s answer to Asaph’s prayer in psalm 74. In psalm 74, Asaph pleaded with God to judge the wicked and restore His people as He had promised to do. God answered mightily, saying He will judge at an appointed time in the future, i.e., end times judgement/the return of Jesus.
- God Warns the Wicked (4–8). The proud and the wicked should not continue in their sins because God will ultimately judge them. They should not lift up their horn, which is a metaphor from the animal world, signifies strength, but this strength is used in a defiant, strutting, self-confidence way. God’s wine/judgement is at hand and can come any time. They ought to fear, be in awe of His holiness, hate their sinfulness and worship God.
- God is Praised (9–10). In the end, God will be praised because justice will be executed. He will end evil once and for all. He will cut off the horn/strength of the wicked and lift up the horn/strength of the righteous. They will shine, while the wicked will fade away.
Praying the Scripture
Wicked people often complain that God should judge them right now so they can change (Mal. 2:17). They don’t understand that God doesn’t just require change, but a transformation of their soul, which the proud will never agree to since they think they are good enough and capable. It is God’s wisdom to set final judgement in the end times to vindicate Himself. There are many reasons for this. One being God is still looking to save sinners (Rev. 6:11, 2 Pet. 3:9). Until Jesus returns, we should also be like God, not wishing anyone to perish, but to evangelize them so that they may be saved. Pray that you will have the same heart of God and evangelize sinners by showing the love of God, preaching the gospel and praying for them.
经文：诗篇75
主题：神末日的审判
- 神断定审判（1-3）。这首诗篇是神对亚萨在诗篇74中祷告的回应。在诗篇74里，亚萨求神按祂所应许的审判恶人并复兴祂的子民。神以大能回应，说祂要在将来所定的日子施行审判，即末世的审判日或耶稣归来的时候。
- 神警告恶人（4-8）。狂傲与邪恶的不当继续作孽，因为神最终要审判他们。他们不应该举角；这个比喻来自动物界，代表力量，但他们是以叛逆、高傲和自以为是的方式使用这个力量。神的酒，或审判，已在手中，并随时会临到。他们当惧怕，因着神的圣洁战兢，痛恨自己的罪孽并敬拜神。
- 世人赞美神（9-10）。最后，神会受到赞美，因为祂将执行公义。神将从此了结罪恶。祂将砍断恶人的角/力量，并高举义人的角/力量。他们会散发光芒，恶人却要销声匿迹。
用经文祷告
恶人常常抱怨说神应该立即施行审判，叫他们能改变（玛2:17）。他们不明白神要的不但是行为上的改变，而是他们灵魂的更新，可狂傲人是不会同意于此，因为他们认为自己够好、够本事。神将祂最后的审判定在末日，为自己申冤，这是祂的智慧。原因有很多，其中之一是神仍在寻求拯救罪人（启6:11，彼后3:9）。直到耶稣归来为止，我们也当像神一样，不愿一人沉沦，乃要向他们传福音，叫他们能得救。祷告你会与神同心，藉着向罪人显明神的爱、传扬福音信息并为他们祷告，从而传扬神。
