Scripture Reading : Psalm 27
Theme : God is Our Light and Salvation
- God is Our Salvation (1–3). God is a loyal God who will protect David since He promised David to be king. Because of David’s confidence in God, he is not afraid of his enemies who want to take his life.
- God is Our Ultimate Desire (4). Despite all the troubles that David have faced in life, his worship of God is unwavering. His ultimate desire is to know God’s greatness/beauty more and more.
- God is Our Deliverer (5–14). Since God has asked us to love Him, He will not withdraw His love from us when we seek to love Him. His love is greater and more faithful than the love of earthly parents. We can be sure of His loyalty; therefore, we can wait for God to deliver us as we pray.
Praying the Scripture
When we have a singular focus to worship God according to His greatness, we can have joy in tough circumstances, even when our physical lives are in danger (Matt. 5:10-12). Such amazing, indestructible life can only be the result of our singular, passionate worship. Pray that you have will this singular, passionate worship of God like David no matter what the circumstances are.
经文:诗篇27
主题:神是我们的亮光和拯救
- 神是我们的拯救(1-3)。神是信实的神,既应许大卫作王,就要保护他。由于大卫相信神,他不惧想取他性命的敌人。
- 神是我们最大的渴望(4)。纵然大卫在生命中遇到无数患难,他对神的敬拜却不动摇。他最大的渴望是更加认识或看见神的伟大和荣美。
- 神会搭救我们(5-14)。神既然叫我们爱祂,就不会在我们寻求爱祂时收回祂的爱。祂的爱比我们亲父母的更大、更可信。我们能相信神的忠诚,所以在祷告时能等候神搭救我们。
用经文祷告
当我们按着神的伟大专心敬拜祂时,我们能在困境中,甚至当性命受威胁时,也有喜乐(太5:10-12)。这等奇妙、无可销毁的生命只能是我们热切、专一敬拜神的结果。祷告无论处境,你对神都会有这等专一、热切的敬拜,如同大卫一样。
