【诗108:12-13】求你帮助我们攻击敌人，因为人的帮助是枉然的。我们倚靠神，才得施展大能，因为践踏我们敌人的就是他。【Psa 108:12-13】Give us aid against the enemy, for human help is worthless. With God we will gain the victory, and he will trample down our enemies.

诗篇一百零八篇让我们看见一个重要的属灵原则：真正的得胜，不在乎我们有多少人的帮助，而在乎我们是否倚靠神。Psalm 108 shows us an important spiritual principle: true victory does not depend on how much help we receive from people, but on whether we rely on God.诗人面对敌人的攻击，没有把盼望建立在人身上，而是向神呼求：“求你帮助我们。”他不是否定人的帮助，而是承认人的能力有限，只有神的帮助才是决定性的。When the psalmist faced the attacks of his enemies, he did not place his hope in people, but cried out to God: “Give us help.” He was not rejecting human help, but recognising that human ability is limited and that only God’s help is decisive.

我们在困难中常常先问：“谁可以帮助我？”却很少问：“神要我怎样倚靠祂？当有人帮助我们，我们就平安；当人不帮助我们，我们就焦虑、惧怕、失望，甚至埋怨。When we are in difficulty, we often first ask, “Who can help me?” but seldom ask, “How does God want me to rely on Him?” When people help us, we feel at peace; when they do not, we become anxious, fearful, disappointed, and even resentful.其实，这正显明我们里面真正的倚靠。神有时允许人的帮助减少，甚至失效，不是因为祂离开了我们，而是要把我们从对人的依赖中带出来，重新学习单单仰望祂。In fact, this reveals what we are truly relying on. Sometimes God allows human help to become less available or even fail, not because He has left us, but because He wants to lead us out of dependence on people and teach us again to look to Him alone.

“我们倚靠神，才得施展大能。”大卫王为我们做了榜样，真正属神的人，不是没有软弱，而是在软弱中仍然知道该倚靠谁；不是没有争战，而是在争战中知道谁为自己争战。“With God we will gain the victory.” King David set an example for us. A person who truly belongs to God is not someone who never feels weak, but someone who still knows whom to rely on in weakness; not someone who never faces battles, but someone who knows who is fighting for him in the middle of the battle.

今天我们所面对的“敌人”，不是外在的人和环境，乃是里面的惧怕、灰心、试探、罪、压力和一切拦阻我们遵行神旨意的力量。因此，属灵争战首先是一场“倚靠谁”的争战。The “enemies” we face today are not people around us. They are something inside us, it can be fear, discouragement, temptation, sin, pressure, and anything that keeps us from doing God’s will. So spiritual warfare is first of all a battle over “whom we rely on”.我们若靠自己，就容易在压力中倒下；若倚靠神，就能在软弱中重新得力。If we rely on ourselves, we can easily collapse under pressure; if we rely on God, we can receive fresh strength even in our weakness.

“因为践踏我们敌人的就是他。”这一句尤其宝贵，让我们知道，神不是站在远处观看我们的争战，而是亲自参与，并且祂才是最终得胜的那一位。“For He will trample down our enemies.” This sentence is especially precious because it reminds us that God does not stand at a distance simply watching our battles. He is personally involved, and He is the One who ultimately brings victory.

祷告：Prayer:

亲爱的天父，我承认自己常常在困难中先看环境、看人、看自己的能力，却没有第一时间转向你。主啊，求你使我的眼目重新转向你。让我知道，人的帮助虽然可以被你使用，却不能成为我最终的倚靠。Dear Heavenly Father, I confess that when I face difficulties, I often look first at my circumstances, at people, and at my own ability, instead of turning to You straight away. Lord, please turn my eyes back to You. Let me understand that although You can use the help of others, it can never become my ultimate source of security.当我面对敌人、困难、压力和属灵争战时，求你赐给我信心，使我不惧怕、不退后，也不靠血气争战。让我学习安静倚靠你，在你里面重新得着力量。When I face enemies, difficulties, pressure, and spiritual battles, please give me faith so that I will not be afraid, shrink back, or fight in my own strength. Teach me to quietly rely on You and to receive fresh strength in You.

无论今天面对什么，我都要宣告：我不倚靠人，也不倚靠自己，我单单倚靠耶和华。因为倚靠神，我必得着从祂而来的力量；真正践踏仇敌、带领我得胜的，是我的神。奉主耶稣基督的名祷告，阿们。No matter what I face today, I choose to declare: I do not rely on people, and I do not rely on myself; I rely on the Lord alone. Because I rely on God, I will receive strength from Him; the One who truly tramples down the enemy and leads me into victory is my God. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
