【诗20:7】有人靠车，有人靠马，但我们要提到耶和华我们神的名。【Psa20:7】Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.

摩西带领以色列民出埃及，埃及法老仗着自己的强大的车和马，追赶神的百姓，百姓看见就惧怕。Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt. Pharaoh, relying on his mighty chariots and horses, pursued the people of God, and when the people saw them, they were afraid. 但摩西认识神的名，对百姓说，‘不要惧怕，只管站住，看耶和华今天向你们所要施行的救恩。’（出14：13）But Moses knew the Name of God, and he said to the people,“Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the LORD will bring you today.”(Exodus 14:13)

大卫也是认识神的名的属灵人。在跟巨人歌利亚争战的时候，大卫对非利士人说：“你来攻击我，是靠着刀枪和铜戟；我来攻击你，是靠着万军之耶和华的名，就是你所怒骂带领以色列军队的神。今日耶和华必将你交在我手里…使普天下的人都知道以色列中有神…又使这众人知道耶和华使人得胜，不是用刀用枪，因为争战的胜败全在乎耶和华。他必将你们交在我们手里。”（撒上17：45-47）David also was a spiritual man who knew the Name of God. When he went out to fight against the giant Goliath, David said to the Philistine:

“You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the Name of the LORD Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. This day the LORD will hand you over to me… and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel… All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the LORD saves; for the battle is the LORD’s, and He will give all of you into our hands.”(1 Samuel 17:45–47）

这里提到神的名，是指信靠在祂的名里面，就是信靠神,服在神的主权下；信靠神的名也代表，凡事都在神的同在、亲身参与里，我们回到本位，都让神居首位，让这位“活神”带领引导。Here, the Name of God refers to trusting in His Name—trusting in God Himself and submitting under His sovereignty. To rely on His Name also means that in all things we live within His presence and personal involvement. We return to our rightful place, giving God the first place, allowing the “living God” to lead and guide us. 车马代表世界的势力才能，虽然强壮，但在变幻莫测的环境中会跌倒、会折断；唯有神的名，乃是包括神的性情、一切恩典、应许、救恩、医治、得胜…是永不动摇的磐石。Chariots and horses represent the powers and abilities of the world. Though they appear strong, they will stumble and be broken amid ever-changing circumstances. But the Name of God—encompassing His character, all His grace, His promises, salvation, healing, and victory—is the Rock that can never be shaken.

主啊，感谢你，拣选我被成为你名下的人，是何等的有福！基督徒这名，应何等拥有权柄、能力…超过世上能看得见的物质，权势…你说‘你已经赐给我们权柄，可以践踏蛇和蝎子，又胜过仇敌的一切能力，断没有什么可以害我们’…O Lord, I thank You that You have chosen me to be one who bears Your Name—what a great blessing this is! The name “Christian” should carry such authority and power… far above the visible material things and powers of this world. You have said, “I have given you authority… to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.”你在十字架上胜过死亡阴间的权势，败坏掌死权的魔鬼，死里复活，你的名是何等的权能，远超过一切执政的、掌权的，不管是今世、连来世的都超过了。On the cross You triumphed over the power of death and Hades, destroying the one who holds the power of death—the devil. You rose from the dead, and Your Name is full of power, far above all rule and authority, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. 主啊，求你开我的眼睛，使我真知道你的名…不要让我活在这世界，身上有你圣灵的印记，头上带着你的名，却活着跟乞丐那样。就像俗话说的，‘捧着’神的‘金饭碗’却向世界‘要饭’…Lord, open my eyes, that I may truly know Your Name. Do not let me live in this world bearing the seal of Your Holy Spirit and Your Name upon me, yet live like a beggar—as the saying goes, holding God’s “golden bowl” in my hands, yet begging from the world.

主啊，求你开启我，如同你开启大卫，真知道你名的权能。在这个即将来临的春节里，跟这世界‘靠车靠马’的试探争战。O Lord, I ask that You would open me, just as You opened David, that I may truly know the power of Your Name. In this coming Spring Festival, help me to contend against the temptation of this world—to rely on “chariots and horses.”好让我的一举一动、心中的意念，口中的言语，都能与你的名合一，活出权能，富有、尊荣、生命…属天的荣耀，见证你在我身上的名。So that my every action, the thoughts within my heart, and the words of my mouth may be one with Your Name—living out power, riches, honor, and life… the glory of heaven—bearing witness to Your Name upon me.
