「神以風為使者,以火燄為僕役。」(4節) 《希伯來書》的作者由此而想到耶穌比天使更美。是的,天使不過是受造之物。主卻是萬物都是為祂、藉祂而創造的聖子。人算什麼?竟被威嚴大能的主親自拯救,又賜予應許而得以在基督裡同享榮耀。「我的心哪!你要稱頌耶和華!」(1節)
建議討論:
- 「…你以尊榮威嚴為衣服,披上亮光,如披外袍;鋪張穹蒼,如鋪幔子;在水中立樓閣的棟梁,用雲彩為車輦,藉着風的翅膀而行。」(104:1-3, 和合本)
思想:詩人以他那個時代所能見的事物頌讚神的威嚴。你又如何以現代的事物反映神的榮耀?
- 「你的斥責一發,水便奔逃;你的雷聲一發,水便奔流,(諸山升上,諸谷沉下。)歸你為他所安定之地。」(104:7-8, 和合本)
思想:這是對神創造天地第三天的描述。詩人的描述能對你的敬拜讚美有幫助嗎?
February 14 (Sunday) – Family Devotion
Scripture Reading: Psalms 104:1-9
Suggested Discussion:
- “…you are clothed with splendor and majesty. The Lord wraps himself in light as with a garment; he stretches out the heavens like a tent, and lays the beams of his upper chambers on their waters.” (104:1-3, NIV)
Q: The poet praised the majesty of God with what he could see in his time. How do you describe the glory of God with things in this generation?
- “But at your rebuke the waters fled, at the sound of your thunder they took to flight; they flowed over the mountains, they went down into the valleys, to the place you assigned for them.” (104:7-8, NIV)
Q: This is a description of the third day in creation time. Can this help you worship and praise God better?
