上帝是至高无上的 BRD REFLECTIONS: 以西结书21和诗篇 150 [NIV] (洪奕冠，华文事工，资讯传播附属事工领袖) 研读: 以西结书21和诗篇 150 [NIV] 观察: 以西结书 21 是一章预言性的章节，上帝命令先知以西结宣告对耶路撒冷及其领导人即将到来的审判。诗篇 150 是诗篇中的最后一篇诗篇，它号召所有造物以喜悦和热情赞美上帝。诗篇完全集中在赞美上帝的行为上，并列出了可以做到这一点的各种工具和方式。 以西结书 21 关注上帝的审判和罪的严重后果。相比之下，诗篇 150 邀请人们欢欣地敬拜和庆祝上帝的伟大。它们共同提供了对上帝本质的整体看法——他的正义和主权，以及他的善良和他的人民在审判和赞美中的正确回应。 应用: 以西结书 21 章强调了上帝对国家的审判和主权，而诗篇 150 章则侧重于对上帝伟大的普遍赞美。两者之间的联系是上帝的主权，它要求在审判面前保持敬畏，并对他的伟大事迹给予热烈的赞美。我需要认真对待上帝的主权，过着圣洁的生活，并将崇拜作为我与上帝关系的重要组成部分。 实践: 以西结书 21 章传达了对审判的警告，而诗篇 150 章则邀请所有人赞美上帝。这两条信息都提醒我们，上帝的统治延伸到所有人，我有责任与他人分享他的正义和他的希望。 我需要更多地向他人讲述上帝的正义和仁慈，分享福音，鼓励我周围的人悔改转向上帝，同时也邀请他们崇拜和赞美他。 祈祷: 亲爱的天父，我承认您是至高无上的。我来找您忏悔我的罪孽。您的伟大值得所有赞美。我祈祷您能给我力量和勇气与更多人分享好消息。 我奉您宝贵的儿子耶稣的名祈求这一切，阿门。
