Oct26【每日活水】存完全的心向 SHEN dao告

 

以赛亚书38:1~8

希西家王的疾病和痊愈
王下20‧1-11代下32‧24-26
1 那时希西家病得要死,亚摩斯的儿子先知以赛亚去见他,对他说:「耶/和/华如此说:你当留遗命与你的家,因为你必死不能活了。」 
2 希西家就转脸朝墙,dao告耶/和/华说: 
3「耶/和/华啊,求你记念我在你面前怎样存完全的心,按诚实行事,又做你眼中所看为善的。」希西家就痛哭了。 
4 耶/和/华的话临到以赛亚说: 
5「你去告诉希西家说,耶/和/华-你祖大卫的  SHEN 如此说:我听见了你的dao告,看见了你的眼泪。我必加增你十五年的寿数; 
6 并且我要救你和这城脱离亚述王的手,也要保护这城。
7「我-耶/和/华必成就我所说的。我先给你一个兆头, 
8 就是叫亚哈斯的日晷,向前进的日影往后退十度。」于是,前进的日影果然在日晷上往后退了十度。
Hezekiah’s Illness
1 In those days Hezekiah became ill and was at the point of death. The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz went to him and said, “This is what the Lord says: Put your house in order, because you are going to die; you will not recover.”
2 Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the Lord
3 “Remember, Lord, how I have walked before you faithfully and with wholehearted devotion and have done what is good in your eyes.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly.
4 Then the word of the Lord came to Isaiah: 
5 “Go and tell Hezekiah, ‘This is what the Lord, the God of your father David, says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I will add fifteen years to your life. 
6 And I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria. I will defend this city.
7 “ ‘This is the Lord’s sign to you that the Lord will do what he has promised: 
8 I will make the shadow cast by the sun go back the ten steps it has gone down on the stairway of Ahaz.’ ” So the sunlight went back the ten steps it had gone down.

灵/修指南

今天经/文中的事件发生在以赛亚书36~37章的事件之前,当时南国犹大正受到亚述的威胁,耶路撒冷的安全也如风中残烛,在如此危急关头,希西家王却被宣告即将病死,这已经不再是希西家个人的事情,而是关乎整个国家生死存亡的大事。希西家听到以赛亚说自己必死无疑,就转脸朝墙,痛哭着向 SHEN dao告,表明单单仰望 SHEN 的信/仰态度。 SHEN 听见了希西家的dao告,看见了他的眼泪,于是施恩加添了他十五年的寿数。不仅如此, SHEN 还应许要救他和这城脱离亚述王的手。同时,还给了他日影往后退十度的预兆, SHEN 用这种超自然的方式确实地回应了希西家的dao告。最终,希西家的dao告戏剧性地改变了原本令人绝望的处境。这告诉我们,dao告可以将绝望变为希望,将危机变为契机,将诅咒变为祝福。

内室dao告

求 SHEN 使我单单信靠和仰望将绝望变为希望的主,并借着dao告与主同工。
