Sound Bath 053- Calvin Chan
I recorded Calvin at Room Ganesha in Mongkok. He combines the sounds of several instruments in his sound baths using metal singing bowls, tongue drum, and hand pan. Not formally trained in sound healing or music, Calvin’s approach is more about freely exploring sound for relaxation, meditation, and performance. He experiments with interesting combinations of instruments and sounds. The busy street below can be heard in the space. Calvin begins playing the tongue drum in a wonderful abstract fashion. I have mainly heard the drum played in a melodic, musical fashion so this improvised passage is quite dramatic and re...

被撒旦的陰謀所嚇倒
我們必須警惕,不僅要防範敵人公開的暴力和殘忍,還要防範他們的陰謀,因為撒旦是殺人犯,而且從一開始就是如此,他也是謊言之父。因此,不管是誰,只要努力地、持續地希望為教會和上帝工作,就必須準備好與邪惡較量。他必須抵制所有的恐懼和所有的陰謀。我說過,上帝的僕人應該準備好對抗死亡的恐懼,這不是沒有道理的。他們必須保持無畏的精神,儘管他們會死,如果有必要的話,在履行職責的時候,要放下自己的脖子,用自己的血封住他們的教義。另一方面,他們應該謹慎,因為真理的敵人常常會用諂媚來攻擊他們。我們今天的經驗充分證明了這一點。我知道,當敵人試圖用這樣的反對意見來嚇唬我們時,更多的危險就會出現。 "你這樣做的目的是什麼?整個世界最終必然會被災難所吞噬。你為什麼要尋求宗教在各地蓬勃發展,健全的學問得到重視,和平得到普及?最激烈的戰爭就在眼前。一旦發生,所有地方都將充滿災難。野蠻和殘忍將隨之而來,宗教將滅亡。你的堅持會造成這一切。"這些話經常對我們說。當我們讀這段話時,我們應該注意到撒旦試圖破壞敬虔者的努力和上帝僕人的恆心的方法。思考:阿摩司的例子告訴我們,當我們被歪曲時,我們不應該感到驚訝。隨著大眾傳媒圍繞著我們,今天發生陰謀和災難的可能性比以往更大。撒旦很容易,而且也確實利用這些手段對福音和那些宣揚福音的人產生持續的懷疑。Translated from 365 Days with Calvinby deepl.com

以身作則
以賽亞書教導我們說,以教導和勸勉的職分為己任的人,不僅應該坐下來指揮別人,而且應該加入到人的行列中去,與人同行。有些人是非常好的教誨者,急於督促別人做工,但自己卻一個指頭也不動。在這裡,信徒們學習到,教師不應該命令人去做,而應該以自己的榜樣來引導人。因此,真正有益的教導方法,是實際執行我們所要求的,從而使人看出我們說話的誠意和懇切。他要教導我們:第一,在我們不能正確地敬拜上帝,若我們沒有正確的教義;第二,上帝是教會唯一的教師,我們應該把他的話視為我們的信仰核心。神雖然使用敎會來教導人,他保留自己的權利。敎師必須只說他的話。如果那些早期教會的教師遵循了這一規則,基督教就不會如此可恥的廣泛地腐壞。我們今天被人的意見折騰得團團轉時,被各種錯誤帶走。所以以賽亞理直氣壯地主張只有上帝才有能力和權柄來教導教會,並閉上一切人的口,把教導的職分交託給傳道者,只有一個目的:上帝的話被聽到。讓那些希望成為基督的牧者,允許自己受以賽亞的教導的約束,使他們不能從神的權柄上奪取任何東西。默想:同樣的原則適用於所有的基督徒。如果我們要把別人帶到基督面前,我們必須與他們同行,我們的榜樣宣告我們對自己所說的承諾。如果我們不成為一個真正的基督徒,我們口頭上所傳的福音都是無效的。Reference: Calvin, J., & Beeke, J.

品嚐地出產的美物
以賽亞說你們要吃這地的好東西,指的是大地為供應生活必需品而結出的果子。從某種意義上說,大地如果不生產果實,而把果實藏在懷裡,可以說是不仁慈的。然而,我毫不懷疑,以賽亞在這裡暗指律法的應許,上帝在其中暗示,對於那些敬畏他的人,他必賜福於地,使地出產大豐盛的一切善物。“你在耶和華向你列祖起誓應許賜你的地上,他必使你身所生的,牲畜所下的,地所產的,都綽綽有餘。”(申28:11)。然而,當上帝給我們提供人間生活的便利時,並非因為他希望我們的專注只是不斷的幸福。那是偽君子所看重的,也是完全替代他們心思的。不是的,他把這地的好處提供給我們,使我們因著對它的思念,可以升到天上的生活,並且因著嚐到這麼多的好處,他可以為我們享受永遠的幸福作準備f,使他們因嚐到現今的好處,如影隨形,就可以叫他們得到天上的遺產。我們正確仔細觀察這種區別,殺死我們可以根據上帝所高舉的我們的繁榮程度,將這種指示應用到我們自己的身上。先知意向向我們表明,真正的幸福,及其附帶的條件,是由順服上帝組成,;而惡人因其頑固不化,會給自己帶來各種災難。因此,我們所有的苦惱都應該歸咎於我們所犯的罪過和罪行。默想:我們應該歡迎世間的祝福,因為它們是什麼-祝福。然而,我們不應該忘記,它們指向地球之外的另一件事的事情。無論我們擁有多少世俗的祝福,我們都應該努力獲得天上的祝福。在你的生活中,你可以採取什麼步驟,使你不把地上或天上的祝福視為理所當然?Reference: Calvin, J., & Beeke, J.

從心清潔
以賽亞書勸告猶太人悔改,並指明真正的方法。我們知道,除非是出於純潔的良心,否則沒有任何事情能夠討神的喜悅;因為神不會像人一樣,根據外表來判斷我們的行為。邪惡的人所辦的事,雖然可能得到人的讚賞;但在神的眼中,墮落的良心污染一切美德。哈該引用古代禮儀中的一個例子來教導這一點。他說,不潔的人所接觸的一切都會被污染,轉化為他引起的表情,沒有什麼乾淨的東西是從惡人那裡得來的。以賽亞宣稱,如果心靈的誠實不能使人成聖,那麼他們向神的行為包括:獻祭丶禱告丶呼求神的名都是徒然的。他繼續說,他們需要全面的改革,以免他們在事奉的時候,他的行為在神的眼中只是蒙上一層陰影。這就是我們對待與神疏遠的人的方式。我們決不能把注意力放在局限在病體的一個或幾個瘡口上。相反,因為我們的目標是真正徹底的治愈,所以我們必須面對他們來重新開始。他們必須徹底清除傳染病,使那些以前在上帝眼中可恨可惡的人可以開始討上帝的喜悅。默想:我們是否已經處理了自己惡行的根源?如果沒有,我們的好行為就不會把我們已被污染的心作為活祭可以獻于上帝;相反,我們被污染的心甚至會玷污我們最好的行為。除非我們的心被徹底洗淨,否則我們不會停止作惡。Reference: Calvin, J., & Beeke, J.

有福之人
大衛說,"有耶和華為他們的上帝,這百姓便為有福!" 如果有人用低俗世俗的態度來估計個人短暫的幸福,我會回答說,我們必須把這件事聯繫起來解讀:那些認識到神對他們所享受的豐盛恩惠的人是幸福的。他們從這些暫時的祝福中獲得幸福感,使他們相信天父的關懷,並引導他們嚮往真正繼承永恆的祝福。只要他們不表現出自己對上帝恩惠而視而不見,或愚蠢而懶惰地忽略了這些恩惠的創做者是誰時。天父的仁慈,不使我們缺乏生活的基本需要,是他奇妙的愛的一個表徽。有什麼比成為上帝關懷的對象更令人嚮往的呢? 尤其是當我們有足夠的理解力去注意到他是我們眾人的天父,而這個理解度是在他所賜的自由裡的。一切的事物都要打從這一點來思考。對我們來說,因缺乏而滅亡,總比單純的滿足要好,因為只有被神揀選為他子民的人才是真正的幸福。神在賜給我們肉食和飲料的時候,讓我們享受到一定程度的幸福,但不是說在缺少乏味和疲倦中掙扎的信徒就很痛苦,因為這種浪費乏味,不管是什麼,神都可以用更好的安慰來抵消。默想:當神祝福我們,滿足我們的物質需要,如衣食住行和工作,我們可能會感到幸福。但是,如果我們不把目光投向賜予者的恩賜之外,不把目光投向一切的終極恩賜- -我們的救主耶穌基督,那麼這種幸福是不完整的。Reference: Calvin, J., & Beeke, J.

唯一的生活方式
詩人說,人缺少從天而來智慧的光就不能真正活過來。與豬或驢不同,人被造不是為了填飽肚子,但是其實是為了在認識和侍奉上帝並運用自己在其中。否則,活著比死亡沒有更差。大衛強調,對他來說,生命的目的不在乎吃飽喝足,享受人間的安逸,而是嚮往更好的生活,而這種生命只有在信心的引導下才能做到。 這是一個非常有必要的警告;因為儘管人普遍承認,人的智力超過低等動物,但大多數人卻故意扼殺了上帝智慧的光。人都想成為頭腦敏銳的人。儘管如此,很少人嚮往天國,亦不認為敬畏上帝是智慧開端。當對天國生命的默想被塵世的憂慮所掩埋時,人便別無他法,只有直衝墳墓裡去。向世界活時,他們向神死。在使用“活了”這個詞時,先知說出了他最大的願望。他似乎在說,雖然我已經死了,但如果你樂意用天上真理的知識照亮我的心靈,這恩典就變成使我復活。默想:如果我們生命中最大的熱情是要活得好,我們就不能在世俗的快樂和奢侈中尋找滿足,因為這些都不能真正滿足。相反,我們必須像大衛一樣-滿懷激情地從神那裡尋求關於如何生活的公義和理解上帝的旨意,而那是公認往天堂的唯一路徑。Reference: Calvin, J., & Beeke, J.

死亡中的安慰
在這裡,大衛宣稱,神選擇做他的保護者,即使這意味著在他的困境中使他救活過來。這段話很值得我們注意,因為我們天生厭惡苦難,我們希望自己能安全地活在苦難的箭矢之外。我們從密切的接觸中退縮,甚至把死亡的恐懼當作完全不能容忍的東西。只要稍稍接近危險,我們就會不由自主地害怕,好像我們緊急的情況的抹煞了神的救贖的希望。信心的真正職份是在死亡中看到生命。信靠神的憐憫,不是使我們普遍免於邪惡,而是在我們生命的每一刻都使我們在死亡中快活。因為神在各種試煉中使他的孩子們謙卑,使他對他們的保護更加顯著,使他顯出自己是他們的拯救者,也是他們的保護者。在這個世界上,信徒不斷地暴露在危險之中。大衛提供了這樣的保證:他將在神的保護下安全地脫離所有的敵人和他們的努力。他宣稱他的希望是在神的手中,神的手伸出來幫助他,並且會戰勝一切敵人,是不可戰勝的。(leave it to chance)由此我們得知,上帝選擇用不斷的衝突來操練他的兒女,使他們的一隻腳就像在墳墓裡一樣,可以驚慌失措地逃走,把自己藏在他的翅膀下,在那裡他們可以平安地居住。默想:與其在敵人或危險面前退縮,不如將信心放在主身上;唯有他願意也能夠拯救我們。即使是在一個充滿敵人和他們帶來的麻煩 ,這應該給我們一種平安的感覺。當大衛說:"在我敵人面前,你為我擺設筵席"(詩23:5a)時,你認為他的意思是什麼?Reference: Calvin, J., & Beeke, J.

工作上的成功
這首詩的作者所羅門指出了兩種人們認為在很大程度上有助於積累財富的手段。不足為奇的是,那些在短時間內致富的人,不遺餘力地在自己的職業上夜以繼日地工作,只允許自己從勞動產品中得到微薄的報酬。然而,所羅門說,無論是靠微薄的薪水生活,還是在工作上的勤奮,本身都不會使我們受益。他沒有禁止我們在飲食上節制,也沒有禁止我們早起從事世俗的生意,而是激勵我們禱告,呼求神。他還建議我們對神的祝福表示感謝,把任何會遮蔽神的恩典的事都拋到九霄雲外。因此,當我們的希望完全依靠上帝的時候,我們就會正確地進入我們世俗的職業。我們的成功就會與我們的願望相一致。但是,如果一個人在急於求成的時候沒有考慮到上帝,他就會因著他急促的路線給自己帶來毀滅。先知的設計並不是鼓勵人向懶惰讓步,使他們一生什麼都不去想,放棄自己的懶惰。相反,他的意思是要他們執行上帝要求他們做的事。他們應該每天以禱告開始,呼求上帝的名,將自己的勞苦獻給他,使他祝福他們。默想:無論我們多麼勤奮,如果我們的工作沒有得到上帝的祝福,就會慘遭失敗。可悲的是,在大多數工作日里,這個原則離我們的思想很遠,因為我們很容易陷入一種心態,認為我們的成功完全取決於我們自己。今天要有意識地努力記住,工作上的任何成功都是神的祝福。Reference: Calvin, J., & Beeke, J.

要想跟從主的道路而不至於跌倒,我們必須努力與世俗和惡人保持最大的距離,不是在身體上的分離,而是在與他們的交往和對話上。觀察到很少有人能保持廉潔到生命的最後一刻,就能很好地看出惡人的危險影響。這個世界充滿了腐敗。此外,我們本性的極度虛弱,使我們很容易受到邪惡的污染,就是從與惡人的輕微接觸開始。先知有充分的理由,吩咐惡人離開他,使他可以在敬畏神的道路上毫無阻礙地進步。這句話與保羅在哥林多後書6:14中的告誡相一致,"你們和不信的原不相配,不要同負一軛。義和不義有甚麼相交呢?光明和黑暗有甚麼相通呢?"。先知趕走惡人是他力所不及的,但他通過這句話暗示,從今以後,他將不再與他們有任何交往。他強調神為他的神,以證明他認為神比全人類更有價值。發現世上普遍存在著極端的邪惡,他選擇與惡人分離,使自己可以完全與神聯合。為了不讓壞榜樣引誘我們作惡,我們最好把上帝放在我們的身邊,常住在他裡面。默想:要與邪惡的世界接觸,同時又要與惡人分開,這可能是很困難的;然而必須這樣做。我們不能在罪人的困境中拋棄他們,但我們必須確保他們的惡不會磨滅我們。這就需要不斷地禱告,求得智慧丶和基督的靈的同在去面對種種不同的邪惡。Reference: Calvin, J., & Beeke, J.

上帝奇妙的律法
先知說,上帝給我們光,讓我們看到他話語的奇妙。我們即使在最清亮的光景中,也對福音視而不見,直到上帝從我們的眼中除去瞎眼的面紗。詩人承認他的眼睛是閉著的,使他無法辨別天上教義的光亮,直到上帝藉著他的靈無形的恩典打開了眼睛。詩人似乎在痛惜自己和整個人類的盲目。但他告訴我們,補救的方法就在眼前,只要我們不因相信自己的智慧而拒絕上帝向我們提供的恩典光照。讓我們認識到,我們沒有得到神的靈的光照,使我們譴責神的律法,以秘密的啟示為樂,就像許多狂熱者一樣,他們不認為自己是屬靈的,除非他們拒絕神的話語,把自己的狂妄猜測放在它的位置上。先知的目標是非常不同的。他希望告訴我們,上帝照亮我們,使我們能夠辨別上帝在他的話語中所彰顯的生命之光。他提到律法的奇妙之處,是要使我們謙卑,幫助我們帶著敬佩的心情去思索那律法;並使我們相信我們非常需要上帝的恩典,以領會他話語的奧秘,這奧秘超過了我們有限的能力。律法不僅包括十條誡命,還包括神與我們所立的永生救贖之約及其一切規定。知道了基督,"智慧和知識的寶藏都藏在他裡面","是律法的終結",我們就不需要驚訝先知對律法和它所包含的崇高奧秘的贊美(歌羅西書2,3;羅馬書10,4)。默想:當我們專注於神的話語啟示的奧妙時,我們就會更安全,不至於被試探去渴望神的新的特別啟示。聖經中包含了許多奇妙的事情,一生的學習不會將它們全部揭示給我們;進一步學習它們,為每一個新的日子找到新的力量。Reference: Calvin, J., & Beeke, J.

向上主發誓
大衛堅定不移的虔誠,在他願意履行他在危難中向神所發的誓言中表明出來。他並沒有像大多數人那樣忘記這些應許。當上帝的手重重地壓在他們身上的時候,許多人都會請求上帝的幫助,但在得到這種幫助之後不久,他們很快就自己的承諾忘記得一乾二淨。在講到對神的真正敬拜時,聖靈恰當地把敬拜的這兩部分連接起來:1) 「並要在患難之日求告我; 我必搭救你」;2) 「你也要榮耀我。」(詩篇50:15)。如果有人認為忠心的人通過向上帝起誓,希望獲得他的讚許而與他立約。這個是荒謬的。我必須解釋說,他們並沒有答應獻上讚美的祭物,以他們的奉承來撫慰他,好像他是像他們一樣的凡人。另外,他們也不試圖通過提出一些獎賞來約束神,因為大衛先前曾抗議說他不會提供任何報酬。誓言的用意,第一,是要神的兒女們的心可以加強,有信心得到他們所要求的一切。第二,是使他們可以受到刺激,為神的恩典向他獻上更多的感激。發誓的特權當然可以讓給上帝的兒女,在他們身體虛弱的時候,因為通過這種方式,他們最仁慈的父親允許他們與他進入熟悉的對話,只要他們為正確的目的而所發願。無論發生什麼事,沒有上主的允許,不能做任何嘗試。默想:我們許多人可能不習慣向上帝起誓,認為那是與全能者討價還價。但如果我們能夠拋開報答神的觀念(就像大衛那樣),這樣的誓言可以極大地刺激我們讚美、敬拜和侍奉。你是如何 "向耶和華" "付 "出你的誓言的呢?申命記: 23:15–25 「你向耶和華-你的上帝許願,償還不可遲延;因為耶和華-你的上帝必定向你追討,你不償還就有罪。22 你若不許願,倒無罪。23 你嘴裏所出的,就是你口中應許甘心所獻的,要照你向耶和華-你上帝所許的願謹守遵行。Reference: Calvin, J., & Beeke, J.

安穩在上帝厚恩中
大衛現在告訴自己要安穩,因為上主已經向他施恩。 Return, O my soul, to your rest (present tense); for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you. (perfect tense)恩典的經驗是否足以消除我們心中的恐懼和害怕?這就是大衛在這裡似乎表明,他既然已經經歷了神援助的寬慰,現在就可以回去休息了。但是,如果忠心的人只有在神彰顯自己是他們的解救者之後,才能恢復心靈的平靜,那麼,信仰還有什麼施展的餘地,應許又有什麼力量能使我們的靈魂安靜下來呢?無可否認的說,不可推諉的信心往往在平心靜氣地等待上帝眷顧時就特顯出來,但很反合性的是,上主的眷顧卻是往往是隱藏的。強大的信仰使良心安靜,使靈魂沉靜,根據保羅的說法,"上帝所賜、出人意外的平安必在基督耶穌裏保守你們的心懷意念。" (腓4,7)。因此,敬虔的人不動搖,儘管他們周圍的世界似乎正在步向滅亡。"仍歸安樂" 是什麼意思?無論神的兒女們如何被人逼迫,然而他們不斷地從神的話語中支取力量,使他們不會完全和最終墮落。因著信靠他的應許,他們就把自己投在神的旨意上,即使他們被令人不安的恐懼所苦惱,被試探的包圍。上帝很快就會幫助他們,內心的平安就會佔據他們的心靈。同時,在上帝恩典的彰顯中,他們也得到了喜樂和高興的理由。他宣稱,即使他經歷了許多使人心煩意亂的事,現在也是他在神面前平靜喜悅的時候了。默想:生活的風暴會使我們的思想和精神如此激動,以至於我們唯一的選擇就是絕望地奔向我們救贖的磐石。在那裡,我們不僅能從生命的試探和攻擊中找到解脫,而且,因著恩典,我們內心也得到了安息,確信神會照顧我們。你是否經歷過這無法理解的平安?Reference: Calvin, J., & Beeke, J.

喜悅他的命令
在這節經文的第二個分句中,先知明確指出他敬畏神,包括喜歡他的誡命。這個解釋是相當明顯的,因為當人大膽地譴責神的律法時,然而人扮自己敬畏神也是很普遍的。先知駁斥努力遵守神的律才是真正敬拜神的人。願意努力遵守律法和僅僅是奴性和受約束的順服之間是有顯著的分別。因此,我們必須以這樣的方式樂意地接受神的律法,使我們對律法的愛,連同它的甜美,可以戰勝一切肉體的誘惑。僅僅關注律法是沒有結果的。除非一個人真正喜歡神的律法,並作出神所喜悅的順服,否則他就不能被視為律法的真正遵守者。縱觀這段經文,先知肯定了敬拜神的人,如果喜樂於他的誡命,就會得到祝福,從而保護我們不受不虔誠的人在自己身上的非常危險的欺騙,以為他們可以從作惡中得到某種幸福。默想:加爾文在這裏對我們敬畏神的程度提出了一個考驗:我們是否真的樂於順服神的命令,還是僅僅出於義務或責任而順服?你是否尋求他的歡心和討厭他一切所厭惡的更有價值?你是否採用的一切辦法來令自己順服他的命令?Reference: Calvin, J., & Beeke, J.

等待神
大衛並沒有輕率或不明智地對他的敵人發出咒詛,而是嚴格遵守聖靈所規定的。許多人假裝有類似的信心,但他們卻輕率地衝出節制和溫和的界限。但是,大衛在神的手的保護下致力於培養虔誠,他知道他的敵人將經歷他們所應得的懲罰的日子即將到來。我們知道,大衛的信任只放在神的身上。他沒有期待人們根據世界對他是微笑還是皺眉來指引他的方向。我們可以肯定,凡是把自己的依靠放在人身上的人,會發現最瑣碎的事件都會使他惱怒。因此,即使整個世界拋棄了我們,我們也應該像這位聖人一樣,抬起頭來仰望天空,在那裡尋找我們的保衛者和拯救者。如果上帝打算用人的工具來拯救我們,他很快就會興起人來完成這個目的。但如果他選擇以剝奪我們一切屬世的援助來試探我們的信心,我們就不應該把這看作是對他名的榮耀的任何負面的反映。相反,我們應該等到適當的時候,當上帝完全宣布他的決定時,我們可以平靜地默許。默想:如果我們要避免對神和他的方式失去信心,就必須有意識地培養等待禱告答案的耐心,尤其是等待救贖的禱告。但是,雖然等待是一種挑戰,但聖靈常常用它來教導我們仰望天國,而不是仰望人,以尋求解救。當你在禱告中等候主的時候,你學到了什麼關於主或關於你自己的教訓?Reference: Calvin, J., & Beeke, J.

危險中感恩
神的靈描繪到了許多危險,在這些危險中,神顯示了他保護和拯救人的能力和恩典。世人稱這些變故為幸運的運動;一百個人中幾乎沒有一個人把它們歸於神的超然天意。但上帝期望我們有一種截然不同的智慧,即我們應該在逆境中默想他的判斷,默想他救我們脫離危險的恩典。因為一個人落入敵人或強盜的手中,肯定不是單純的偶然;一個人從敵人或強盜手中獲救,也不是偶然的。但我們必須經常牢記的是,所有的苦難都是神的棒子,因此除了神的恩典之外,沒有其他的補救辦法。如果一個人落在強盜或小偷的手中,並沒有立即被殺害,而是放棄了一切生的希望,隨時都會死亡,那麼他的獲救肯定是上帝令人震驚的恩典明證。考慮到從這種危險中逃脫的人很少,這種恩典就更顯明了。那麼,這樣的情況不應該減少我們對上帝的讚美。先知控告人們忘恩負義,他們在得到奇妙的拯救之後,很快就失去了對賜給他們的救贖的關注。為了加強這個指控,他提出他們的嘆息和呼喊作為對他們的指控。因為當他們處在危險的困境中時,他們就誠懇地承認上帝是他們的救主。為什麼當他們享受平安和安靜的時候,這些懺悔就消失了呢?默想:當我們無法自拔時,向神呼求解救的呼聲如此容易,如此自然地從我們的口中發出。那麼為什麼在事情順利的時候,讚美會感覺如此困難呢?我們是否如此愚蠢地認為在順境中我們可以照顧自己,好像我們對上帝的依賴性更小?Reference: Calvin, J., & Beeke, J.

讚美中的勝利
這首讚美詩是在以色列人民悲傷而災難性的分散期間創作的。有必要使百姓完全謙卑去防備他們進一步抱怨上帝。作者明白上帝實在寬恕了以色列列祖,縱然他們罪惡無盈。作者的目的是鼓勵以色列人重拾寬恕的希望,但前提是他們要認真和誠懇地尋求與他和解。這是因為上帝鄭重地記得他與他們的約。通過信仰,他們可能會接近上帝,即使他的怒氣尚未消失。而且,上帝揀選了他們成為他的特殊民族,因此他們可以呼籲他將他們被傷心欲絕,苦不堪言的同胞。因為,根據摩西的預言,“你被趕散的人,就是在天涯的,耶和華-你的上帝也必從那裏將你招聚回來。”(申命記30:4)。當分散的群眾聚集在一起並在信仰合一中成長時,這一預言最終成為現實。因為儘管以色列人民當時還未重拾地上的王權和政權,但他們卻與外邦人嫁接到了基督的身體中,這是一個更可取的團聚。無論他們身在何處,上帝的兒女都因信仰的聖潔和屬靈信仰上的結連,並和外邦人歸信者,一起構成了一個遍布整個地球的無形教會。他們聚在一起實現贖回的目的,即他們可以慶祝上帝的名,並不斷地稱讚上帝。默想:詩篇作者要求拯救以色列人民,以便他們在讚美上帝時能表示感謝和勝利。當我們向主祈求祝福時,這是一個值得我們記住的重要教訓:我們的最終動機應該是他的榮耀,而不僅僅是我們的安慰。我們可以使用什麼手段來更深刻,更一致地學習這一個重要的一課?Reference: Calvin, J., & Beeke, J.

挑釁上帝
連上帝的嚴厲懲戒都無法引起改變的時候,人們的邪惡就會變得更加明顯。先知推斷人心的可恨是持續不斷的。儘管他們從上帝那裡得到了一切好處,但他們並沒有屈服於上帝。確實,在遭受苦難的時候,他們在苦難的負擔呼求,但是當上帝減輕了對他們的懲罰時, 他們又故態復萌,他們隨後又怎樣能被原諒呢?全人類本質像一面鏡子;那麼,如果上帝使用與當年以色列人一樣的方式來奪回現今他的大多數子民,很少人不會像以前那樣落在同樣反覆無常狀態之中,這又是怎麼回事呢?神可能會以嚴厲的態度使我們謙卑,或者以仁慈使我們融化,但這種效果只是暫時的,因為,儘管神矯正我們,或善待我們,但我們很快又陷入了我們那邪惡的惡毒之中。猶太人並沒有停止後退過,但是,正如詩篇作者所說,猶太人“設謀背逆“他。他們因自己的罪孽而得到了公正的審判。上帝仍然聽到了他們,並以他慈愛挽回他們,縱使他們始終是反覆無常。默想:這段經文清楚地表明了我們對“重生”的需要。除非人真正重生,人不能得到裡裡外外的更新; 世界上再多的責備或祝福亦不會將人轉回到上帝面前。 今天,神的責備對你有什麼影響?Reference: Calvin, J., & Beeke, J.

被青蛙征服
水变成血的灾祸对埃及人来说特别严重,因为水是维持生命的两大手段之一。考虑到埃及的土地灌溉良好,但埃及人却因干旱而干枯,神的力量就更加闪耀。据说他们的土地生出了青蛙,甚至进入了他们国王的寝宫。神这样明显地表明他是这神迹的作者,因为虽然全埃及都是青蛙成群,但国王的宫室却应该不受这种骚扰。国王一词表示王国的贵族或国王的儿子 (the chambers of their kings),他们是在期待王权的过程中长大的,因为当时,众所周知,只有一个国王在全埃及统治。从中我们了解到,神如何藉着一种嘲讽,轻易地使那些在肉体上骄傲的人谦卑起来。他没有召集军队与埃及人作战,也没有立即武装他的天使或从天上打雷。但上帝却在埃及生出了青蛙,它轻蔑地践踏了那个傲慢的民族的骄傲,除此之外,还蔑视整个世界。对埃及来说,被强大的敌人征服并不丢人,但想想被青蛙征服是多么不光彩的事啊!上帝以此表明,他不需要强大的敌人来消灭恶人,因为他可以随时随地这样做,甚至看似是在运动中。默想:加尔文为我们提供了一个独特的提醒,当我们以为自己能控制自己的时候,我们是多么的受骗。无论是大的天灾还是青蛙的军队,神都会提醒我们,他才是控制者。圣灵如何在经验上教导我们把生命的控制权交给神?Reference: Calvin, J., & Beeke, J.

加强盟约承诺
神与亚伯拉罕立了约,并通过庄严的誓言应许要做亚伯拉罕后裔的神。为了使他的应许的真实性得到更大的保证,神慷慨地与以撒和雅各续约。把誓言延伸到后世的效果是,神的信实可以更深地抓住他子民的心。另外,当神的恩典在反复的场合下得到更新时,它就会在人中变得更加知名,更加显赫。因此,这约被证明是更坚定不移的,因为关于每一位族长的肯定,同样属于他们所有人。有人说,神 "向以撒起誓"。上帝以前不是向亚伯拉罕起过这样的誓吗?无疑他是有的。又说是向雅各立了律法,立了永远的约。这是否意味着这约以前只是暂时的、短暂的,后来它的性质就改变了呢?这样的想法与圣作者的意思完全不符。诗人藉着这些不同的表达形式,断言圣约得到了充分而完美的证实,因此,如果说这个呼召对一个人来说或许是晦涩难懂的,但通过上帝把它传给后人,就可能变得更加明显。通过这种方式,更好地彰显了圣约的真理。在这里,我们再一次被提醒,上帝以极大的仁慈考虑到我们的软弱,当他通过他的誓言和经常重复他的话语,来批准他以前对我们的应许。我们的忘恩负义就显得更糟糕了,因为当他不仅说而且还起誓的时候。默想:神对他的子民的应许也延伸到他们的后代,其中包括像我们这样的罪人。神立约应许的每一个表现如何帮助加强信徒对他们立约承诺的回应?Calvin, J., & Beeke, J.

遏制反抗上帝莫測的方式
上帝以一種我們常常無法理解的方式來管理這個世界。如果事情是在我們自己的管理之下,我們就會顛倒上帝所遵守的秩序。既然不是這樣,我們可能會反常地與神爭辯,說他沒有更快地幫助義人,懲罰惡人。當惡人對他大發雷霆,當他們毫無節制地沖向最大膽的不義行為,當他們隨意迫害善良和無辜的人時,他竟然容忍他們,這在最大程度上讓我們感到不符合神的完美。在我們看來,神似乎不能容忍他自己的子民受制於惡人的不公和暴力,卻不能阻止大量的虛假,欺騙,掠奪,流血,和各種惡行。為什麼他要忍受他的真理被遮蔽,他的聖名被踐踏在腳下?這就是神操作的偉大和神勸告的深度,使詩人爆發出欽佩之情。毫無疑問,上帝在宇宙的結構中顯示了難以理解的深度能力和智慧;但詩人在這里特別要考慮的是,當上帝在他的天命管理中不按我們的計劃行事時,要製止我們對上帝的抱怨傾向。當他的方式與人的一般想法不一致時,我們應該懷著敬畏的心情去思考,記住上帝為了更好地試煉我們的順服,已將他深奧而神秘的判斷提升到遠遠超過我們的觀念之上。默想:當上帝不按我們所想的行事時,我們的心是多麼容易升起叛逆和不信啊!這首詩是對上帝的美好糾正。這首詩是對這種精神的美好糾正。當我們思考神在世上的方式時,我們可以採取什麼步驟來提醒自己誰是造物主,誰是受造物?Reference: Calvin, J., & Beeke, J.

當他的方式無法理解時
詩人概括地講了上帝的工作,接著更特別地講到上帝治理世界的公正。雖然神可能會推遲對惡人的懲罰,但在適當的時候,他表明他不會忽視或不知道他們的罪。此外,雖然上帝用困難來鍛煉自己的兒女,但他最終證明他對他們的好處並非無動於衷。詩篇作者之所以提出這個特別的觀點,是因為由於人類事務中普遍存在的不平等和混亂,許多黑暗不法事情會落在神的計劃上。我們看到惡人得勝,為自己的運命喝彩,好像上面沒有審判者一樣。他們也利用上帝的寬容,作過激行為,因為他們以為自己已經脫離上帝的手。心中的無知和盲目不仁,使他們想像上帝對世界不施加以控制,在天上閒坐,這試探就更加嚴重了。我們在肉體的煩惱之下,我們好似浮沙般迅速地沉淪。因此,詩人故意選擇這個場合,以顯示上帝對人類所施加的看顧。詩人概嘆,即使上帝工作模式是最明顯,我們理解力被可怕肉體的煩惱和混亂所迷惑,以至於我們無法理解上帝工作模式。我們要注意的是,作者被上帝靈所充滿,在這裡說的不是上帝創造天地的工作,也不是他對世界的管理,而只是他在人中執行的審判。默想:有時,生活似乎是殘酷和不公平的。我們看到邪惡和不公在我們周圍蓬勃發展,而善良和正義卻在受苦。詩人說,我們只有相信上帝在控制我們,才能保持正確的觀點。這樣的信任何時在你自己的生命中得到了回報?Calvin, J., & Beeke, J.

安息日的目的
正如詩篇的題記所說,猶太人有在安息日唱詩篇92篇的習慣。從其他經文中可以看出,其他詩篇也被應用於此用途。如按希伯來文字面意思可讀為:這是向耶和華謝恩的好事。詩人說,定出某一天來歌頌神是好的;選擇某一天讓主的子民慶祝神的作為,是一種有益的安排。詩人把這首詩獻給安息日的原因是顯而易見的。這一天的聖潔,並不是要我們專心致志地無所事事,好像無所事事就可以接受對神的敬拜,而是要我們從其他一切職份中分離出來,以便我們可以默想神的工作。因為我們的心是無常的,所以當我們接觸到各種雜念時,就容易偏離神。我們若要認真地應用於讚美上帝,就必須脫離一切的憂慮。詩人教導我們,正確地遵守主日並不像有些人荒唐地想像的那樣,是由閒暇組成的,而是在慶祝神聖的名組成。他所提出的論點是從侍奉中得出的好處,因為沒有什麼比知道我們的事奉不是徒勞的更為重要,我們所事奉的能得到神的讚許,更令人鼓舞。默想:主賜給我們主日,不是為了讓我們在沒有益處的情況下消磨時間。主賜給我們主日,是為了讓我們可以專注於他和他的話語,而守主日是心的問題。花點時間重新審視你是如何度過主日吧! 是否有改進的空間?Calvin, J., & Beeke, J.

保持永恆的眼光
我們知道,完成了生命的人,馬上就會被帶離這個世界,然而,對這種脆弱的認識,卻沒有在我們的心中留下深刻的印象,因為我們沒有把我們的眼睛舉過世界。摩西通過向我們展示上帝永恆的視角來喚醒我們,如果沒有這種視角,我們就不會察覺到我們的生命是多麼迅速地消失了。想像我們將有長壽,就像一個深沉的睡眠,我們都在其中麻木不仁。唯有默想天上的生命,才能吞噬這種關於我們在地上持續時間長短的愚蠢幻想。對於那些對永恆視而不見的人,摩西提出了上帝作為審判者的觀點。 "主啊!"他似乎說,"如果人們只反省那永恆,你從那裡看到世界的無常循環,他們就不會對現世生活作如此大的解釋。"未信的人之所以沉溺於享樂,是因為他們的心太過放在世界上,沒有嚐到天上永恆的快樂。因此,我們要學習這個教導的應用。為什麼我們對自己的生活有如此大的焦慮,以至於沒有什麼能使我們滿意呢?我們不斷地自暴自棄,是因為我們愚昧地想像我們將永遠依偎在這個世界上嗎?摩西不僅將千年與一天作對比,他還將它們與已經過去的昨天作對比。因為凡是還在我們眼前的東西,都會俘虜我們的心。但是,我們對過去的事情的回憶就不那麼受影響了。所以,讓我們憑著信心將我們的心思提升到神的天國寶座上,他在寶座上宣告,與未來的生活相比,這世間的生活不算什麼。默想:保持永恆的觀點是很難的。但是,我們不能做到這一點,不正是我們發現自己經常陷入世俗的原因嗎?昨天已經過去了。我們必須把未來的一千年放在眼裡。Reference: Calvin, J., & Beeke, J.

懲罰中的愛心
神收養我們為他的兒女,不是為了鼓勵我們更大膽地犯罪。我們在這裡讀到神用責備來向我們表明他恨惡罪。在這一點上,他警告我們,當我們得罪他時,我們應該受到什麼懲罰。他還邀請並勸告我們為自己的罪悔改。那麼,他父親式的責備,就像藥一樣,在鼓勵罪的過度放縱和將人推向毀滅的極端嚴厲之間保持著界限。每當上帝懲罰真信徒的罪時,他都以健康的節制來懲罰。因此,我們有責任把他施加在我們身上的懲罰當作我們的藥。因為神除了糾正他兒女的惡習,使他們徹底洗淨罪孽之後,可以重新恢復他們的恩惠和友誼之外,沒有別的目的。根據保羅在哥林多前書11:32中的話,"我們受審的時候,乃是被主懲治,免得我們和世人一同定罪。" 惟恐他們被責罰的重擔壓倒,神就克制自己的手,體貼地容許他們的軟弱。這樣神的應許就應驗了,我的慈愛必不完全從[他們]身上奪去,即使他向他的兒女發怒。因為當神為了他們的利益和救贖而糾正他們的時候,他不會停止愛他們。冥想:信徒們永遠不會經歷他們應得的神的憤怒。雖然他們確實感受到了他的管教,但這種管教是慈愛的天父的行為,而不是憤怒的審判者。棍棒和條子可能是非常痛苦的,但它們是用愛來使用的。神的慈愛不會從信的人身上奪走。這對你有什麼安慰?Reference: Calvin, J., & Beeke, J.

有時候,信徒們拋棄了上帝的軛,並以某種方式滅絕了對上帝的敬畏,從而爆發了罪惡。因此,上帝有必要甚至赦免可惡的罪行,以使那些犯下這些罪行的人不會因絕望而感到不知所措。I大衛,從外表上似乎被完全剝奪了上帝的靈,因此祈禱要恢復他的生命。上帝甚至為那些犯下可憎和致命罪行的人提供赦免的希望,以使罪惡的嚴重性不會使他們退縮或妨礙他們尋求與他和解。由此,我們可以譴責父親的過分嚴厲,他們的顧慮使他們無法接受第二次或第三次跌倒而悔改的人。我們必須給予適當的照顧,以免過分寬容。但是,採取極端嚴格的措施同樣會帶來危險。我們應該注意,當上帝宣布他將對那些違反法律並違反誡命的罪人表現出憐憫之情時,他故意使用那些可惡的詞語來激起我們對罪的仇恨和憎惡,而不是誘使我們犯罪。儘管信徒可能並不總是以值得上帝恩典的方式行事,因此可能值得他拒絕,但他將仁慈他們,因為減罪是上帝與我們立約所應許的重要條款。默想:知道上帝的寬恕足以掩蓋一切罪惡和後退的可怕時刻,這真是令人欣慰!為這種寬恕及其目的讚美上帝:使罪惡更加令人厭惡,基督更加具有吸引力。它的深度如何激勵我們走向聖潔而不是罪惡?Calvin,J。和Beeke,J。R.(2008)。與加爾文(Calvin)在一起的365天(p。82)。 Leominster;密歇根州大急流市:第一天出版物;改革遺產書籍。

神家的守門人
不像許多人不知道為什麼要活著,只希望自己的生命可以延長,大衛說他活著的目的是為了侍奉神。他把在服侍神的一天,比長期在世俗人中度過的時間,設定為更高的價值,因為真正的宗教是被放逐的。因為只有祭司才能進入聖殿最裡面的庭院是合法的,所以大衛宣稱,如果僅僅允許他在門廊上有一個位置,他就會滿足於充當守門人的卑微地位。大衛對在神的聖殿中的價值,在他的比較中是引人注目的,他寧可在我神的殿中作守門人,也不願住在惡人的帳棚中。大衛寧可被丟在一個普通的、不受尊敬的地方,只要是在神的子民中,也不願在不信的人中被提升到最高的榮譽等級。這實在是一個難得的敬虔的例子! 許多人都想在教會中佔有一席之地,但野心卻左右了他們的思想,以至於很少有人會滿足於在普通的、不顯眼的階級之中。我們幾乎所有的人都被上升到傑出地位的瘋狂慾望帶著走,直到我們達到某種傑出的境界,才會想到安心。沉思:當個人的野心佔據我們的生活時,我們往往成功地把上帝的殿堂變成了 "邪惡的帳幕"。如果對我們來說,即使是作為一個無名小卒,住在上帝的殿中,也比在這個世界的不敬虔者中獲得認可要好,那麼我們應該如何生活呢?我們的生活應該做出怎樣的改變呢?建議進一步閱讀。約翰福音3章Calvin, J., & Beeke, J.
