记住上帝的伟大作为 读经计划: 撒母耳记下24:1-25，诗篇77:13-20 (刘美莲姐妹, 华文事工秘书) 研读: 撒母耳记下24:1-25，诗篇77:13-20 观察: 诗篇77的开头是诗人向上帝哭求帮助。从第7节到第9节，诗人开始怀疑上帝的爱和承诺。然后，从第11节到第12节，诗人告诉自己要记住并默想耶和华所有的伟大作为，即祂很久以前所行的神迹。 在诗篇77:13-20中，诗人记念上帝的伟大作为，并歌颂赞美祂。 应用: 七年前，也就是2017年，在我已故丈夫迈克尔的临终病床前，Elsita牧师紧紧抓住我，嘱咐我要感谢并赞美上帝。当时，迈克尔心脏骤停，宿务医院的ICU医疗团队正在努力抢救他。当时我非常害怕，我祈求上帝拯救迈克尔。牧师的指示让我感到困惑。感谢上帝并赞美上帝？难道她已经知道上帝会拯救迈克尔？尽管如此，我还是在她一边紧紧地抱着我时，一边听她感谢和赞美上帝。最终，迈克尔还是去世了。 我知道自己很快就从哀恸中恢复过来，在迈克尔去世的之前、期中和之后，我都看到了上帝的作为，经历了上帝的平安和安慰。 记住上帝的伟大作为，在困难的时刻感谢和赞美祂，有助于建立我对上帝的信靠和信心，深信上帝会在祂的时间里使万事都成为美好。 今天，我终于明白了Elsita牧师当时为什么一直嘱咐我要感谢和赞美上帝。 行动: 如果将来我面临危机，我不知道自己会如何表现。我可能会感到非常消极，以至于很难记住上帝在我生命中所行的美好事迹。 所以，我会把上帝在我生命中的所有伟大作为一一列出，在困难的时刻，当上帝似乎没有回应，如果我感觉不到上帝的同在，我可以用这份准备好的清单来提醒我上帝的美善作为，以坚定我对上帝的信靠与信心。 祈祷: 亲爱的天父，祢确实是全能的，威严的，信实的，值得我信赖。天父，我祈求祢继续保护我的心思意念，帮助我始终耐心等候祢，即使处在危机时刻也要记得赞美祢和感谢祢。奉主耶稣的圣名，阿门！
