这节经文,是大卫悔改跟随神走义路、一生的总结。 我们每一个人都有罪性,一出母胎就与神疏远,一离母腹就说谎话。This verse is David’s summary of a lifetime spent repenting and following God in the way of righteousness. Every one of us is born with a sinful nature. From birth we are separated from God, and from the womb we naturally turn towards lies and sin.那我们跟“义”有什么关系呢?大卫也跟我们一样有罪性,但他怎样成为义人呢?在他周围全是很强盛、兴旺的恶人,但在强暴和逼迫中,大卫选择了转向神。So how can we possibly have anything to do with righteousness? David had the same sinful nature we do, yet he became known as a righteous man. Even though he was surrounded by strong and successful wicked people, David chose, in the middle of violence and persecution, to turn towards God.
主啊,感谢祢把大卫放在我前面,让我明白怎样从罪人成为义人。 我也看见身边的仆人在效法大卫,给我做榜样:Lord, thank You for giving David as an example before me, so that I can understand how a sinner can become righteous. I also see Your servant around me following David’s example and becoming a testimony to me.她被人攻击、排挤、被藐视、被厌弃,处于弱势、心里也难受,也想逃跑,甚至想以恶制恶。但神的真理在她心里,她拿耶稣跟自己内心的每一个反应“对版”,She has been attacked, rejected, despised, and pushed aside. She has felt weak and deeply hurt inside, wanting to run away, and even tempted to respond to evil with evil. Yet Your truth remains alive within her. She compares every inner reaction against Jesus Himself.拿大卫的诗篇、耶稣受苦的经文,默默无声不停地祷告,对付内心的愤怒,七十个七次去饶恕,把审判伸冤的主权交给主。She holds onto David’s psalms and the passages about Christ’s suffering, praying quietly and continually, dealing with the anger inside her, forgiving again and again, and placing all judgment and vengeance into the Lord’s hands.就在这样的环境里,我看见她的生命发光,喜乐平安,彰显出神与她同在。充满信望爱,做事大有智慧,喜乐平安,医病赶鬼、神迹权能,成为多人的祝福。In those difficult circumstances, I have seen her life shine with joy and peace, clearly showing that God is with her. She is filled with faith, hope, and love, acts with wisdom, walks in peace and joy, and God works through her in healing, deliverance, signs, and power, making her a blessing to many.
神使用那些攻击她的人,熬炼她、训练她。如今时间到了,神要让那些与她为敌的人看见而惧怕神。主啊,我看见了,在难受委屈时,那放下自己一切权力、转向祢、信靠祢的人,就被祢称为义人。God has used those who opposed her to refine and train her. And now the time has come for those who stood against her to see and fear God. Lord, I can see clearly now: when people are hurt and wronged, those who lay down their rights, turn to You, and trust You are the ones You call righteous.他们是得胜者,必得着祢应许的赏赐。主啊,祢是信实的,我已经看见了大卫的结局,也看见了在祢仆人家庭里无数的见证。They are overcomers, and they will receive the reward You promised. Lord, You are faithful. I have seen the outcome of David’s life, and I have also seen countless testimonies within the family of Your servant.
主啊,我要起来!我要追求祢的公义圣洁。别人如何,祢自会审判;我要跟随祢,我要得祢的赏赐。求祢使我昏睡的灵魂苏醒,让我里面的眼睛明亮,看见我里面的不义。Lord, I want to rise up. I want to pursue Your righteousness and holiness. How others live is for You to judge, but I want to follow You and receive Your reward. Please awaken my sleepy soul and open the eyes of my heart so that I may see the unrighteousness still within me.主啊,特别是在我被指正的时候,求祢让我快快回转、祷告,治死我里面那个“总想证明自己对、自己好”的坚固营垒。Lord, especially when I am corrected, help me to quickly turn back to You in prayer and put to death that stronghold within me that always wants to prove that I am right and good.
主啊,让我不再看环境,而是看祢。让我在每一个环境里操练放下自己,信祢是在地上施行审判、赏罚分明的神。Lord, help me stop focusing on circumstances and instead fix my eyes on You. Teach me, in every situation, to lay down myself and trust that You are the righteous Judge who rules justly on the earth.求祢把大卫那样坚定的心赐给我,让我的一生也能见证你的恩典:罪人若信而悔改跟随祢,你要让他成为义人,你要赏赐他,今世得百倍、来世得永生。Give me the same steadfast heart that David had, so that my life too may testify to Your grace: that when sinners believe, repent, and follow You, You make them righteous, reward them, give them blessing in this life, and eternal life in the age to come.若人不悔改,也必有审判临到。但我仍愿不断祈求,求你的怜悯触摸人心,更多罪人能悔改,得救、得赏赐。And if people refuse to repent, judgment will surely come. Yet I still want to keep praying for Your mercy to touch human hearts, so that more sinners may repent, be saved, and receive Your reward.
