Oct27【每日活水】在苦难中歌唱救/恩

 

以赛亚书38:9~22

9 犹大希西家患病已经痊愈,就作诗说:
10 我说:正在我中年之日
必进入阴间的门;
我余剩的年岁不得享受。
11 我说:我必不得见耶/和/华,
就是在活人之地不见耶/和/华;
我与世上的居民不再见面。
12 我的住处被迁去离开我,
好像牧人的帐棚一样;
我将性命卷起,
像织布的卷布一样。
耶/和/华必将我从机头剪断,
从早到晚,他要使我完结。
13 我使自己安静直到天亮;
他像狮子折断我一切的骨头,
从早到晚,他要使我完结。
14 我像燕子呢喃,
像白鹤鸣叫,
又像鸽子哀鸣;
我因仰观,眼睛困倦。
耶/和/华啊,我受欺压,
求你为我作保。
15 我可说什么呢?
他应许我的,也给我成就了。
我因心里的苦楚,
在一生的年日必悄悄而行。
16 主啊,人得存活乃在乎此。
我灵存活也全在此。
所以求你使我痊愈,仍然存活。
17 看哪,我受大苦,本为使我得平安;
你因爱我的灵魂便救我脱离败坏的坑,
因为你将我一切的罪扔在你的背后。
18 原来,阴间不能称谢你,
死亡不能颂扬你;
下坑的人不能盼望你的诚实。
19 只有活人,活人必称谢你,
像我今日称谢你一样。
为父的,必使儿女知道你的诚实。
20 耶/和/华救我,
所以,我们要一生一世
在耶/和/华殿中
用丝弦的乐器唱我的诗歌。
21 以赛亚说:「当取一块无花果饼来,贴在疮上,王必痊愈。」 
22 希西家问说:「我能上耶/和/华的殿,有什么兆头呢?」
9 A writing of Hezekiah king of Judah after his illness and recovery:
10 I said, “In the prime of my life
must I go through the gates of death
and be robbed of the rest of my years?”
11 I said, “I will not again see the Lord himself
in the land of the living;
no longer will I look on my fellow man,
or be with those who now dwell in this world.
12 Like a shepherd’s tent my house
has been pulled down and taken from me.
Like a weaver I have rolled up my life,
and he has cut me off from the loom;
day and night you made an end of me.
13 I waited patiently till dawn,
but like a lion he broke all my bones;
day and night you made an end of me.
14 I cried like a swift or thrush,
I moaned like a mourning dove.
My eyes grew weak as I looked to the heavens.
I am being threatened; Lord, come to my aid!”
15 But what can I say?
He has spoken to me, and he himself has done this.
I will walk humbly all my years
because of this anguish of my soul.
16 Lord, by such things people live;
and my spirit finds life in them too.
You restored me to health
and let me live.
17 Surely it was for my benefit
that I suffered such anguish.
In your love you kept me
from the pit of destruction;
you have put all my sins
behind your back.
18 For the grave cannot praise you,
death cannot sing your praise;
those who go down to the pit
cannot hope for your faithfulness.
19 The living, the living—they praise you,
as I am doing today;
parents tell their children
about your faithfulness.
20 The Lord will save me,
and we will sing with stringed instruments
all the days of our lives
in the temple of the Lord.
21 Isaiah had said, “Prepare a poultice of figs and apply it to the boil, and he will recover.”
22 Hezekiah had asked, “What will be the sign that I will go up to the temple of the Lord?”
 

内容观察

1.希西家具体为了何事dao告?(16节)

2. SHEN 让希西家受苦,最终是为了使他如何?(17节)

 

思考与默想

 

3.希西家为什么在巨大的苦难之中也能弹琴唱诗赞美 SHEN ?
 

个人感受

4.看到希西家即使受苦也感到平安,并唱诗赞美 SHEN ,我有什么感想?
 

决心与应用

5.我何时曾在dao告蒙应允后,忘记要感谢赞美 SHEN ?

6.为了铭记痛苦也是 SHEN 的恩典,并为此献上感谢和赞美,我决定要怎么做?

求你为我作保 (14节): 意为“请成为我的中保帮助我”。
阴间、死亡、下到地府的人 (18节): 均指死亡。
耶29:11 “我知道我向你们所怀的意念是赐平安的意念,不是降灾祸的意念,要叫你们末后有指望。这是耶/和/华说的。”

灵/修指南

希西家在罹病又经历痊愈的奇迹之后,写下该诗赞美 SHEN 。希西家在听到以赛亚宣告自己命不久矣时,感受到死亡的恐惧和生命的短暂。诗的开头看似在讲述自己的苦难和叹息,其实是在感谢和赞美 SHEN 借苦难使自己明白 SHEN 的爱。希西家蒙 SHEN 医治疾病,也明白了 SHEN 的旨意是赐平安和拯救 (17,20节 ;参耶29:11)。为此,希西家宣告,他要一生一世赞美 SHEN 。 SHEN 的平安能使悲伤变为喜乐,使叹息变为感谢,也使人唱诗赞美 SHEN 。同样, SHEN 的平安也临到我们的肉/体,使我们全然得医治。经历 SHEN 救/恩的人,必然像希西家一样感谢赞美 SHEN 的恩典。愿 SHEN 使我们的身体和心灵都蒙医治,得享完全的平安。

内室dao告

求 SHEN 使我为 SHEN 的救/恩献上感谢,又使我一生一世都唱诗赞美 SHEN 。
