今天早上突然想起几年前听到的故事,跟大家分享。我是在海外基督使团(OMF)参加日本祷告会的时候,听到这么一个见证。有一个人觉得人生很失意,各方面都失败,他决定要执行他的计划,就是结束他的生命。就在他要踏出居所的时候,他想起口袋里有一个电话号码,是别人交代他到那个城市,就要打电话给那里的牧师。因为他是一个日本人,什么事情都要把它好好做完才算尽责,所以既然这件事一直没有执行,那么这件就是最后一件事,需要把它先完成。他就打了电话,然后牧师接了电话,问他在哪里,就说要来看他。 他不知道牧师已经为他祷告了几个月,也不知道牧师一直在等他的电话。但是他就打了电话。牧师就接他去自己家里,然后这个人就告诉牧师他想要见了牧师就执行他的计划,牧师说上帝有一个更好的计划给他。牧师发现他没有住处,就让他住在牧师的家里,而你要知道日本人的住处是非常窄小的。但是牧师就每天跟他讲上帝的事,到后来他受到感动,他就决定要信耶稣。他后来成为教会里一个不断跟人家说“上帝是又真又活的上帝”的人。 这一篇诗篇是训诲诗,有很大部分是很灰暗的,但是诗人是要告诉我们,上帝是我们的上帝,要抓住他,他是可靠的。 我们会跟着经文看,从两方面来看,第一,诗人的重担,第二,诗人的反应。 A. 诗人的重担 3 都因仇敌的声音,恶人的欺压; 他们将罪孽加在我身上,发怒气加害我。 4 我的心在我里面阵痛, 死亡的恐怖落在我身。 5 恐惧战兢临到了我, 惊恐笼罩我。 •恶人的欺压,将罪孽加在我身上(3节) •The wicked pressured me •Fears and panic, horror of death overcome me 我们作为人的反应,要不是受过特别的训练,我们不知道怎么察言观色,我们只是知道自己的世界。这里诗人把他内心的感觉说了出来,他感觉到恶人的欺压,他们的声音经过自己的时候,他会感到毛骨悚然。他感觉到罪孽,邪恶都加在他的身上。他感到很沉重,很吃力。 有多少人见过这张画?这张叫做scream…
