圣经从旧约到新约,记载了许多赞美大能的见证。From the Old Testament through to the New Testament, the Bible records many testimonies of praise that release God’s mighty power.历代志下20章记载,约沙法王面对强敌进攻时,仰望神并设立赞美团队走在军前,一路赞美迎敌;当众人唱歌赞美时,神就出手全歼强敌。In 2 Chronicles 20, when King Jehoshaphat was confronted by a powerful enemy, he turned to God and appointed worshippers to go out ahead of the army, praising as they advanced. As the people sang praises, God stepped in and completely defeated the enemy.使徒行传16章,保罗和西拉在半夜的监牢里祷告唱诗赞美神,地大震动,监门全开,锁链也都松开了。In Acts 16, Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God at midnight in prison; suddenly a great earthquake shook the place, the prison doors flew open, and everyone’s chains were unfastened.
这些见证告诉我们:当神的子民面对强敌或困难时,只要献上信心,不看环境和困难的强大,转向赞美神,神就施行拯救。These testimonies show us that when God’s people face strong enemies or overwhelming challenges, if they choose to offer faith—refusing to focus on how powerful the circumstances are and instead turning to praise God—God Himself brings deliverance.
大卫出自犹大支派(犹大即赞美之意),深知赞美的权能。他写道:“你是圣洁的,是用以色列的赞美为宝座的。”(诗22:3)他在诗篇18:3中所说的,不仅是经历拯救后的回顾,更是因为他深知赞美是信心的祭。David came from the tribe of Judah, whose name means praise, and he deeply understood the power of praise. He wrote, “You are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel” (Psalm 22:3). What he declares in Psalm 18:3 is not merely a reflection after deliverance, but a statement grounded in his conviction that praise is a sacrifice of faith. 当面对强敌,无论环境多么险恶,他都高举神的名,在还没有看见时就相信拯救必到。大卫的一生教导我们:以信心为祭主动求告、不断赞美,是与神建立亲密关系、经历拯救的关键。When facing powerful enemies, no matter how dangerous the situation, he lifted up God’s name and believed that deliverance would come even before he could see it. David’s life teaches us that actively calling on God and continually offering praise as a sacrifice of faith are key to building intimacy with God and experiencing His saving power.
我也真实经历了:当我主动求告、主动赞美,以信心的眼睛不看困难有多大,而看我们的神有多伟大;I have also experienced this in a very real way. When I chose to call on God and praise Him intentionally—fixing my eyes not on how great the problem was, but on how great our God is;当我不再定睛于“我”,而是放下自己,不问对错,听神借着属灵人和环境对我所说的话,完全顺服时……神就在我生命中开始工作,把我从仇敌手中救出来。每一次主动呼求,都像打开了与神同行的通道,让祂的力量充满我,使我在风雨中坚定不移。when I stopped focusing on myself, laid myself down, stopped debating right and wrong, listened to what God was saying to me through spiritual leaders and circumstances, and fully submitted—God began to work in my life and rescued me from the hand of the enemy. 每一次胜过困境,我心欢喜、我灵快乐,以主的救恩为乐。Each deliberate cry to Him felt like opening a pathway to walk with God, allowing His strength to fill me and steady me through the storm. Each time I overcame a trial, my heart rejoiced and my spirit was glad, finding joy in the Lord’s salvation.
得胜的主我感谢你,我愿效法大卫,求告当赞美的耶和华。让赞美成为我信心的祭、属灵的武器与得胜的源泉。Victorious Lord, I thank You. I desire to follow David’s example and call on the Lord who is worthy of praise. Let praise become my sacrifice of faith, my spiritual weapon, and my source of victory. 无论环境如何,我都愿完全顺服你的旨意,坚定行在你的道路上。在面对试炼时,让我放下一切,首先赞美,让你的宝座降临。Whatever the circumstances, I choose to submit fully to Your will and walk firmly in Your ways. When trials come, help me to lay everything down and praise You first, so that Your throne may come among us. 信你必赐我们勇气与智慧使我们得胜,经历你同在的奇妙与丰盛。愿我的心常向你敞开,以赞美彰显你的荣耀。愿我们的生命旅程,充满“赞美、得救、再赞美”的乐歌! I trust that You will give us courage and wisdom to overcome and to experience the wonder and richness of Your presence. May my heart always remain open before You, declaring Your glory through praise. May our journey through life be filled with songs of “praise, salvation, and praise again.”
