Scripture Reading  : Psalm 41

Theme                      : The Merciful Receives Mercy

 

In this psalm David instructed the congregation that those who aided the needy would themselves obtain deliverance. In relation to this he recalled his prayer for revenge on those who did not have mercy on him but took advantage of his illness. Psalm 41 is a lesson based on a prayer for help against treachery. [1]


Praying the Scripture

One characteristic of believers is mercy (Matt. 5:7). Since believers know they have received mercy from God so they will be merciful to others: both believers and non-believers. God promises to give mercy to believers in this world and in the world to come. Mercy means to do something helpful to someone who is suffering whether relationally (Matt. 18:33), emotionally or physically. Do you regularly give mercy to others? Pray that you will learn to be merciful.

经文：诗篇41

主题：怜恤人的蒙怜恤

 

在这首诗篇中，大卫教导会众那些帮助贫困之民的人必蒙保全。对于此，他想起自己患病时曾恶待他的，他曾求神报应他们。诗篇41教导我们如何因奸诈行为求神帮助。[1]

用经文祷告

基督徒的一个特征是怜悯（太5:7）。信徒既然晓得他们蒙受神的怜悯，就要怜悯他人，包括信徒和非信徒。神应许要在这世和来世向信徒赐予怜悯。怜悯之意，就是帮助一个在精神上、肉体上或其他方面受苦的人（太18:33）。你是否经常怜恤他人？祷告你能学习如何怜恤人。
