当上帝带领时 —— 信靠与顺服 BRD REFLECTION 2026 创世纪 31:1-21；诗篇93 (NIV) (廖亚娟， 华文事工) 阅读: 创世记31:1–21记载雅各生命中的一个重要转折点。在拉班那里工作多年以后，上帝吩咐雅各回到祖先之地，并应许他说：“我必与你同在。”（31:3）雅各便带着家人和所有产业离开。 诗篇93则给我们一个重要的信仰基础：“耶和华作王。” 上帝满有威严和能力，祂胜过一切汹涌的风浪。 钥句: 诗篇93:1  – “耶和华作王，祂以威严为衣穿上；耶和华以能力为衣，以能力束腰；世界就坚定，不得动摇。” “谁能站立在祢面前？ 观察: 雅各当时的处境相当艰难。他与拉班的关系日渐紧张，并察觉到周围的环境正在发生变化。然而，他没有因安于熟悉而停留原地，而是听从上帝的吩咐，顺服前行。 最触目的是，上帝早在雅各踏上旅程之前，就已经应许：祂的同在。上帝没有应许雅各的道路一帆风顺，却应许说：“我必与你同在。” 诗篇93也提醒我，人生纵然有时风浪汹涌，上帝的宝座仍然坚定。环境会改变，但上帝永不改变；风浪虽然猛烈，却无法超越上帝的能力。 应用: 当我反思自己的生命时，我发现自己常常希望在迈出下一步之前，就能看清前面的整条道路。 当环境充满未知或当我无法掌控时，我容易感到忧虑。 雅各的经历提醒我，信心就是即使 看不清前面的整条道路，仍然能信靠上帝并顺服祂。 诗篇93:1让我再次确认：“耶和华作王。” 因此，我不需要让环境决定我的情绪，也不需要害怕未知的明天。相信上帝始终与我同在，祂是信实的，掌管我的生命，我要信靠顺服祂。 实践: 今天，我愿意把生命中一切仍然充满未知的事交托给上帝。我不再试图掌控整条未来的道路，而是求主赐我勇气，凭信心踏出下一步顺服的行动。 祷告: 慈愛的天父，感谢祢常与我同在，并且在我生命的每一个处境中掌权。当我面对未知和挑战时，求祢提醒我，祢仍坐着为王，充滿能力与威严。求祢坚固我的信心，引导我的腳步，使我一生跟隨祢。奉主耶穌基督的名祷告，阿们。
