信靠神的力量与拯救 大斋期 2025 历代志上 10:1-14; 11:1-47; 诗篇 70:1-5  (Judy Leow – MM Treasurer) 阅读: 历代志上 10:1-14 这段经文讲述了扫罗王的悲惨结局。他和他的儿子们在战场上败亡。扫罗因不寻求神和不顺服而导致丧失一切，王位因而转交给大卫。这提醒我们，真正的领导权乃基于对神的顺服。 历代志上 11:1-47 在这里，大卫被膏立为以色列的王，实现了神的应许。本章还颂扬了大卫的勇士们，展现了忠诚、勇气和坚定信仰的价值观。这激励我们信靠神的完美时机，并与同样信仰和使命的人同行。 诗篇 70:1-5 诗篇 70 是一首迫切寻求神拯救的祷告，诗人恳求神迅速施行拯救，使恶人蒙羞，并赐喜乐给敬畏神的人。这篇诗篇提醒我们，在困难中要依靠神，相信祂的救赎和公义。即使在苦难中，我们也要尊崇神，因为祂是我们随时的帮助和救主。 观察: 这三段经文从历史、属灵生命和信仰实践的角度，为我们展现了一个重要的对比：一个王如何因悖逆神而失败（扫罗），另一个王如何因信靠神而蒙福（大卫），以及信徒在困境中应如何向神寻求帮助（诗篇 70）。 应用: 真实经历：信靠神的力量与拯救 在高中时期，我的家庭因父亲突然去世而陷入经济困境。父亲是家中唯一的经济支柱，他的离世让我不仅要应对学业压力，还要管理他的商业账目。每天都充满焦虑和绝望，我的大学梦想似乎遥不可及。 有一天，我读到了诗篇 70:5 — “但我是困苦穷乏的；神啊，求你速速来到我这里！你是我的帮助，我的拯救；耶和华啊，求你不要耽延！” 这句话深深触动了我的内心，让我学会在困境中信靠神。我开始每天祷告，把重担交托给祂，并经历了内心的转变。 我不再沉溺于忧虑，而是专注于每天能做的事情。随着时间的推移，我家的经济状况逐渐改善。虽然问题没有一夜之间解决，但我最终得以通过夜校学习会计。这段经历让我学会倚靠神而非焦虑，使我的内心充满平安与盼望。 行动: 祷告: 慈爱的天父，

认清属灵的身份及信仰的传承 BRD反思: 历代志上 1:1-54 & 2:1-55 (Alice Hsieh, Pastoral Team Member) 阅读: 《历代志上》1-2章详细的家谱，从亚当到以色列十二支派，犹大支派预示了弥赛亚的降生，彰显神的拣选与救赎计划。体现神对祂子民的重视，及对历史的精确记录。表明神在历史中掌权，祂掌管人的发展和民族的兴衰，祂的计划永不落空。 观察: 本卷成书于以色列人被掳归回，神的计划不会因人的失败而终止。以东与以色列的敌对关系，藉此家谱提醒百姓，表明神掌管列国，及神对历史和每个人的关注，神通过历史成就祂的救赎，人的生命因此在神计划中具有永恒的价值。 应用:  * 身份与呼召： 认识自己在神计划中的位置，承担属灵责任。  * 信实与应许： 相信神的带领，耐心等候祂的时间。  * 世代的传承： 活出信仰，影响后代，确保真理得以传承。 行动： 1.确立属灵身份（彼得前书2:9）：认定自己是神的子民，活在神的应许中。 2.承担属灵责任（约书亚记24:15）：在家庭、工作、教会中见证神，引导人归向主。 3.忠心传承信仰（提摩太后书2:2）：培育下一代，使神的真理不断延续。 祈祷： 慈爱的天父，祢是信实及掌管历史的神。求祢使我警醒，成为信仰的见证人，传承祢的真理。无论环境如何，都相坚持信仰，忠心地跟随祢的呼召。奉主耶稣基督的名祈求，阿们！ 愿我们在神的历史中找到自己的位置，并以行动回应主的呼召！
