你要把你的重担卸给耶和华 读经反思: 撒母耳记上 16:1-23 和 诗篇 55 (NIV) (廖亜娟姐妹 – 华文事工财政) 阅读: 当我阅读诗篇55 篇时，引起我关注的经文是22节: “你要把你的重担卸给耶和华，他必扶持你；他永远不会让义人动摇” 观察: 在《诗篇》55篇，大卫教导我们说“你要把你的重担卸给耶和华”（诗55:22）。我们对这节经文都非常熟悉，问题是，怎样把重担卸给耶和华的呢？ 是不是像我曾经阅读过的这一篇故事，内容是有关一位老爷爷背着一个大包袱，拄着拐杖，弯着腰，一步一步地走向車站。他疲惫无力的姿态，让人看了仿佛下一秒就会被身上的重担压垮。后來有一位路过的卡車司机邀请他上車，免费载他一程，但是他仍是背着大包袱站在卡車上。 应用: 在工作的生涯里，我也曾经有过类似的经历。因为公司的往来交易金额巨大，常常不放心交给下属处理，搅得自己的工作时间長又劳累， 尤其是接近退休的期间，很担心没有接班人。 于是我祷告，求上帝指引。一天当我读诗篇时，这篇经文出现在我眼前： “你要把你的重担卸给耶和华”（诗55:22）突然我的愁烦被解开了。 我反思自己是不是像这位老爷爷一样？神已经应允你，邀请你把你和你的重担都卸在祂身上，但是你依然不肯放下自己身上的包袱！ 行动: 在生活中 ，我有真实的体会，当我和耶稣有亲密的关系 (如每天的读经、祷告、灵修，还是去教会敬拜、听道、服事等等) 人生再大的重担，我都可以背负却不觉得沉重。但是，当我失去与耶稣有亲密的关系时，即便是再小的重担，仿佛也会在瞬间把我压垮。 祷告: 求主怜悯，让我每时每刻都可以到耶稣那里去，在耶稣里面得着真正的安息。唯有如此，我才能卸下生活的压力、工作的压力、服事的压力、人际关系的压力, 继续跟随神，服侍神。天父，我感谢祢的话语所启示的真理和重要的教训。奉耶稣基督的名祷告，阿门！
