【诗22:3】但你是圣洁的，是用以色列的赞美为宝座的（“宝座”或作“居所”）。【Psa22:3】Yet you are enthroned as the Holy One; you are the one Israel praises.

大卫身陷敌人围困、身心破碎，在似乎被神弃绝和孤独的幽暗时期，在极端痛苦中，他仍然不断地回顾、数算：神过往在他生命中的信实作为，使大卫顿悟，神的圣洁、慈爱，拯救的属性和至高权能永不改变。When David was surrounded by enemies, his body and soul shattered, passing through a dark season that felt like abandonment by God and utter loneliness, even in extreme anguish he did not cease to recall and recount the Lord’s past faithfulness in his life. In this remembrance, David came to a sudden awakening: that God’s holiness, lovingkindness, saving nature, and supreme power never change. 他不再在‘为什么’的无望里，自我挣扎下坠。回到被造物的本位，不管环境、放下自己，以信心为祭，用赞美的利器，向天上、地下、向属灵世界发出最有力的宣告，He no longer sank into the hopeless “why,” nor struggled downward in himself. Instead, he returned to the rightful place of a created one—laying down himself regardless of circumstance. Taking faith as his offering, and praise as his sharp weapon, he made the most powerful proclamation to the heavens, to the earth, and to the spiritual realm.用赞美迎下神宝座，带下神同在——因为神配得、并要居住在祂子民的一切赞美中。赞美是被造之物最有力的武器，是与造物主恢复关系的诀窍之一。With praise he welcomed down the throne of God and brought forth His presence—because God is worthy, and He dwells in all the praises of His people. Praise is the most powerful weapon given to created beings, and one of the keys to restoring relationship with the Creator.

我们的祷告或许会暂时未见回应，但赞美，是神永远不会拒绝的邀请。当我们顺服赞美这一属灵法则，神就在我们的赞美中设立宝座，在环境中建立祂的统治和权柄。Our prayers may, for a time, seem unanswered; yet praise is an invitation God never refuses. When we submit to this spiritual law of praise, God establishes His throne within our praises and sets His rule and authority in the midst of our circumstances. 大卫一生身经百战，历经的战役远超众王，始终保持全胜记录，这在人类历史中是绝无仅有的。秘诀不在于他的谋略，而在于他懂得了这属灵秘诀，就是在绝境中选择赞美，David, throughout his life, was a man seasoned in countless battles. The wars he endured surpassed those of many kings, yet he maintained an unbroken record of victory—something exceedingly rare in human history. The secret was not found in his strategies, but in his grasp of this spiritual mystery: that in the face of utter despair he chose praise. 领受属天的策略和得胜的智慧，赞美呼求神的同在——那是他力量的泉源，最坚固的磐石。Through praise he received heavenly strategy and the wisdom that brings triumph. Praise called forth the presence of God—who became the fountain of his strength and his most unshakable Rock.

仇敌最擅长的，就是趁我们生命中崩溃、绝望的时刻——负面思想来袭、祷告似乎得不到回应、觉得被生活击垮、心力交瘁之时，猛烈地向我们射怀疑的火箭，攻击神的品格，让我们怀疑神的良善与信实。The enemy is most skilled at seizing the moments when our lives collapse and despair overtakes us—when negative thoughts surge, when prayer seems unanswered, when we feel crushed by life and exhausted in soul. In such hours he fiercely hurls his flaming arrows of doubt, assaulting the character of God, seeking to make us question His goodness and His faithfulness. 主啊！赦免我们在这些关键时刻，常常转到别处（购物、刷视频、玩游戏……）寻找短暂麻痹，而非转向你。Lord, forgive us that in these critical moments we so often turn elsewhere—seeking brief numbness in shopping, in scrolling through videos, in games, and other distractions—rather than turning our hearts toward You.

求你扶持我们，在至暗时刻，不是一到你面前只顾哭泣、发牢骚、抱怨与怀疑，急于判断不好，好像惊弓之鸟那样叫喊“天塌下来了”。Uphold us, we pray, in our darkest hours—that when we come before You, we would not only weep, complain, grumble, or doubt, nor rush to judge all as hopeless, crying out likeed birds, “The sky has fallen.” 而是选择赞美，从问题转向神，释放信心，让你的同在变得触手可及，击退仇敌。Instead, teach us to choose praise—to turn from the problem unto God, to release faith, and to make Your presence tangible within our reach, driving back the enemy. 即便眼下看不见出路，但我知道你仍然坐在宝座上，掌管万有，就不怕任何凶恶的信息，信心如磐石般坚固。Even when no way forward is visible before our eyes, yet I know that You still sit upon the throne, sovereign over all things. Therefore I will not fear any evil report; my faith shall stand firm like a rock.

主，感谢你开启我属灵的眼睛让我看见：赞美是大能的属灵兵器，可以帮助我们建立一种得胜的心态，无论面对什么环境，都能保持信心和盼望。Lord, I thank You for opening the eyes of my spirit to see that praise is a mighty spiritual weapon. It helps us to establish a victorious mindset, so that no matter what circumstances we face, we may remain in faith and in hope. 大卫的得胜，不是没有困难，而是在困难中仍然选择赞美。我也要操练，每天从赞美开始，建立得胜的生活模式。David’s victories were not because he was without trouble, but because in the midst of trouble he still chose praise. I also will train myself to begin each day with praise, establishing a pattern of victorious living. 让你在我生命中建立你的宝座，活出一个永不停止赞美的生命。我信靠的是一位得胜的，并要训练我也得胜的神。Set Your throne within my life, and cause me to live a life that never ceases in praise. The God in whom I trust is One who is victorious—and who will train me also to overcome.
