慈爱的严父 BRD REFLECTIONS: Amos 9 and Psalm 108 (NIV) (Liu Yanxia,  MM Children Ministry IC) 研读: 【阿摩司9 :1】 我看见主站在祭坛旁边，他说：“你要击打柱顶，使门槛震动，打碎柱顶落在众人头上；所剩下的人，我必用刀杀戮，无一人能逃避，无一人能逃脱。 【阿摩司9:11】 “到那日，我必建立大卫倒塌的帐幕，堵住其中的破口。把那破坏的建立起来，重新修造，像古时一样….. 观察:  阅读此章节经文时，“祭坛”首先映入了我的眼帘，它在上帝的圣殿里，是当时以色列百姓的生活中心，更是他们祈求得到平安和赐福的地方；与此同时，“审判”也随之浸入我的脑海，并出现在经文的字里行间【摩9:1-10】此表述–无一不显明了上帝的忿怒。 而‘堵住破口’‘重新建造’让坚持奉行上帝旨意的阿摩司先知看到了希望；并预言‘上帝的子民将会经历属灵的丰收’上帝的怜悯和慈爱在此彰显【摩9:11-15】 反思:  阿摩司先知书多次提到“这是耶和华说的”“耶和华如此说”。表明上帝为了管教以色列百姓，会透过不同的先知来警告祂的选民「人饥饿非因无饼，干渴非因无水，乃因不听耶和华的话」【摩8:11】「耶和华说“我知道我向你们所怀的意念，是赐平安的意念，要叫你们末后有指望。你们要呼求我，祷告我，我就应允你们……”」 上帝如此的恩威并重，用心良苦，难道只是针对以色列百姓吗？不！绝对不是！我不也是其中一个悖逆之子吗？我何尝不是“犯罪”“悔改”；再”犯罪“再”悔改“之信徒呢？ 记得在我“少年不更事”之时，常做出因叛逆而对抗父母的事；而父亲的藤条打在我的身上，却疼在自己的心上。当我流着眼泪承认自己做错时，父亲也会含着泪水抚摸我那因藤条而红肿小手。 现在想来父亲的慈爱牢牢的印在我的心中；但这种慈爱又如何高过天父的恩慈呢？ 行动:  阿摩司书使我明白了一个属灵的定律—罪必受惩罚和审判，惟有真诚悔改才能蒙神怜恤。 让神的话时常提醒自己：读经、祷告、感恩、赞美固然重要，悔改和忏悔必不可少。 祷告: 慈爱的天父：谢谢祢透过【阿摩司】书，让我认识祢复兴的心意，即使在我信仰的道路上充满了挑战，也会有很多挣扎，但我相信神必赐下力量、赐下怜悯来恢复我，使我得着丰盛的属灵生命。祷告奉我主耶稣基督的名求 Amen.
