谦卑，自信地恳求信实的上帝 BRD REFLECTIONS: 利未记13, 14；诗篇86 (华文事工-黄文展) 研读: 诗篇86:7 我在患难之日要求告祢，因为祢必应允我。 诗篇86:11 耶和华啊，求祢将祢的道指教我；我要照祢的真理行；求祢使我专心敬畏祢的名 ！ 诗篇86:13 因为，祢向我发的慈爱是大的；祢救了我的灵魂免入极深的阴间。 观察: 阅读诗篇86篇，我不禁感受到大卫的恐惧和绝望，因为他“终日”向神呼喊说：他正处在“患难之日”，并寻求上帝的保护（1-7）。 然而自始至终，他仍然谦卑和虔诚，甚至恳求上帝教导他，给他一颗心无旁骛的心，使他可以敬畏上帝的名并荣耀祂（8-12）。 即使在他最低谷的时候，他仍然相信上帝，因为他想起了上帝伟大的爱，以及祂之前是如何帮助和安慰他的（13-17）。 应用: 即使我们不会像大卫那样逃命，然而我们谁也逃不过生活的沧桑，因为我们的健康、工作、家庭和环境都处于变化的状态。因此，我们向上帝发出衷心和热切的恳求并不羞耻，祂是我们生命中唯一真正永恒不变的。 当我们遇到生活中的动荡时，我们有时会质疑上帝的爱并抱怨祂。然而，大卫对上帝的神性，祂的爱和信实的理解，支撑他并使他在这场持续长久的危机中，充满信心地祈祷。 大卫的谦卑和敬畏，确实可以贻范古今。在大多数情况下，我们往往对接受帮助和指导更感兴趣，而不是被教导或爱和荣耀上帝。在艰难的情况下，赞美上帝可能显得奇怪和不自然的，但它有助于我们专注于上帝的良善，供应，宽恕和怜悯等，这会带来巨大的平安，盼望，喜乐与和解。 执行: 这诗篇提醒我要经常谦卑地来到上帝面前，深深地凝视祂的话语，不要停止敬拜和赞美或三心二意的这样做。 面对逆境，我必须坚持祂坚定不移的应许，绝不能轻易陷入挣扎的困境，忘记上帝的无限力量。“耶和华的膀臂并非缩短 ，不能拯救，耳朵并非发沉，不能听见” (赛59:1) 尽管我现在可能还不能完全辨别上帝的作为，但我可以也会勇敢地接近祂，因为我知道我的上帝是谁，祂对我只有最好的善意。我想起祂如何拯救过我，以及在我生命中所做的奇迹。 祷告: 天父，就像大卫一样，我们祈祷有一颗全心全意的心，使我们的思想、言语和行为保持一致。我们深信，以祢自己独特的方式和完美的时机在我们的生命中动工。我们真的很感激祢，我们从未独自行走，因为在困难时期，祢是我们强大的磐石和山寨。祢垂听属于祢的人的呼求，并且非常关心我们。唯独祢是神和主宰，因此我们“有这指望，如同灵魂的锚，又坚固又牢靠”（来六19）。感谢赞美祢。我们如此祷告是奉主耶稣的名。阿门。
