当上帝呼召时 读经计划 耶利米 1, 诗篇 1 (廖亚娟姐妹) 研读: 耶利米 1, 诗篇 1 看哪，我今日立你在列邦列国之上，为要施行拔出、拆毁、毁坏、倾覆，又要建立、栽植。(耶 1:10) 观察： 1 神选召耶利米 (耶1:4-10) 对于拣选，神有祂的旨意和主权、祂塑造、预备祂的仆人。对于神的呼召，耶利米感到惊讶沮丧。然而神安慰鼓励他，并指示他传讲审判和重建的信息。 耶利米蒙召作先知，并非因为他比别人更敬虔、更爱主，而是因着神的预定和拣选。还没出生之前，神已经把他分别为圣，派他「作列国的先知」（耶1:5）。 2. 异象启示 (耶1:11-16) 1:11-12正如杏树在早春开花，神对犹大的罪恶也早在留意，并准备施行审判。 1:13-16沸腾的锅的异象代表将有灾难来自北方，倾倒在百姓的身上，因为百姓犯了离弃神、拜偶像的罪。 3. 命令与应许 (耶1:17-19) 耶利米将要面对的是由上至下全国人的藐视敌对和虐待逼迫，而他惟一力量保障的来源，就是神的应许。神会保护他，好像铁柱铜墙般坚硬稳固，可以抵挡任何攻击。而他唯一的攻击武器就是神放在他口中的话。耶利米的信心是基于神的应许。 应用： 今天读《耶利米书》，心中有一个感动，就是神的话是等着被释放。 神对这世代和祂的子民有一个心意、计划和命定，他要保护、拯救、拔出、栽种、建立，但神做事有其法则，人正是灵界与自然界之间的媒介，我们有神的形像和神的灵，所以能领受从神而来的一切; 另外，因为神用泥土做人，所以我们也是属地的。 今天神兴起我们面对敌基督，我们也会像耶利米般害怕，但神应许会帮助我们，拆毁仇敌的工作，使人心归向神。 当我们祷告，神就差遣天使作工。 行动： 当神的呼召临到的时候，我们「不要说我是年幼的」（耶1:7），也不必担心自己的资历、学历或能力，因为神比我们自己更晓得我们的本相  (耶1:5）。神呼召人，不是根据人的口才、经验，而是根据神自己的能力；不是因为人能做、人想做、人有资格做，而是因为神定意要做。因此，当我确定神的呼召临到时，唯一正确的反应就是顺服、接受。 祷告： 求主赐我们谦卑的心，紧紧跟随神，成为神合用的器皿，使神的话必然成就。阿们。
