【诗123:2】看哪，仆人的眼睛怎样望主人的手，使女的眼睛怎样望主母的手，我们的眼睛也照样望耶和华我们的神，直到他怜悯我们。【Psa 123:2】As the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a female slave look to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the Lord our God, till he shows us his mercy.

诗人走在上行的路上，当面对人的藐视、羞辱和压力。诗人在困境中宣告：“我是仆人，耶和华是我的主。As the psalmist continues on the upward journey and faces people’s contempt, humiliation, and pressure, he declares in the middle of difficulty: “I am a servant, and the Lord is my Master.” 诗人用“仆人的眼睛望主人的手”来形容自己与神的关系，仆人不只是知道主人在那里，而是时刻留意主人的手，因为主人的手代表吩咐、供应、引导，也代表权柄。The psalmist uses the picture of “a servant’s eyes looking to the hand of his master” to describe his relationship with God. A servant does not simply know that the master is there, but keeps watching the master’s hand, because the master’s hand represents instruction, provision, guidance, and authority.

“我们的眼睛也要照样望耶和华我们的神，”诗人信心坚固，他不是偶尔仰望一下，而是一直定睛在神身上，直到神怜悯我们。“So our eyes look to the Lord our God.” The psalmist’s faith is steadfast. He does not simply look to God for a moment, but keeps his eyes fixed on Him until God shows us mercy. “直到他怜悯我们”更显出诗人的坚持。神还没有改变环境，他仍然望着。“Until He shows us mercy” shows even more clearly the psalmist’s perseverance. Even though God has not yet changed the circumstances, he continues to look to Him. 我们常常一遇到问题，就开始看环境、看人的反应、看自己的能力，也不断想办法为自己解释、证明和争取。When we face problems, we often begin looking at the circumstances, at people’s reactions, and at our own ability, while constantly trying to explain ourselves, prove ourselves, and fight for ourselves. 但诗人提醒我们，属神的人是不凭眼见，乃是凭信心。不是看“事情怎么样”，而是信“神的手在哪里”。But the psalmist reminds us that those who belong to God walk not by sight, but by faith. It is not about looking at “how things are going”, but trusting in “where God’s hand is”.

这让我们想到主耶稣在地上的道路。耶稣从来不是凭自己的意思而活，祂说：“我不求自己的意思，只求那差我来者的意思。” This reminds us of the path the Lord Jesus walked on earth. Jesus never lived according to His own will. He said, “I seek not My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.” 父神的手没有让祂绕过十字架，却带祂经过十字架进入复活。The Father’s hand did not lead Him around the cross, but led Him through the cross into resurrection. 所以，神的手不一定把我们带离困难，却一定能在困难中带领我们走在祂的旨意里。So God’s hand may not always lead us away from difficulty, but it will certainly lead us through difficulty according to His will.

今天，我们也需要问自己：我的眼睛到底在看什么？Today, we also need to ask ourselves: What are my eyes really focused on? 是在看人的脸色，还是在看神的手？是在看环境的大小，还是在看神的伟大？Am I watching people’s reactions, or looking to God’s hand? Am I looking at how big the circumstances are, or at how great God is? 是在催促神按照我的时间成就，还是愿意安静下来，说：“主啊，我等候你，直到你怜悯我。” Am I urging God to act according to my timing, or am I willing to become quiet and say, “Lord, I wait for You until You show me mercy”?

祷告 | Prayer

主啊，我承认我常常口称祢为主，却仍想掌控自己的道路，求祢赦免我。Lord, I confess that I often call You Lord with my mouth, yet still want to control my own path. Please forgive me. 主啊，求祢重新调整我的眼目，使我不再被环境、人的评价所影响，而是定睛在祢身上。Lord, please redirect my eyes, so that I am no longer affected by circumstances or people’s opinions, but keep my eyes fixed on You. 让我像仆人仰望主人的手一样，学习安静、等候、察验并顺服祢。Let me, like a servant looking to the hand of his master, learn to be still, wait, discern, and obey You.

主啊，我不要只要祢手中的祝福，我更要祢自己。Lord, I do not want only the blessings from Your hand; I want You Yourself even more. 愿我不再坚持自己的意思，而是像主耶稣一样说：“不要成就我的意思，只要成就祢的意思。”愿我的眼睛一直望着祢，直到祢怜悯我。May I no longer insist on my own will, but say as the Lord Jesus did: “Not My will, but Yours be done.” May my eyes continually look to You until You show me mercy. 奉主耶稣基督的名祷告，阿们。In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
