【神听见了我们的声音】

引言:

什么事情让我们流泪?当意识到事态严重,意识到没路的时候。诗篇第6篇或许是大卫在最底谷的时候写的一首忏悔的诗。用丝弦的乐器,调用第八,应该是指男生所唱的最低音。

这篇诗篇可以看到是大卫在悲伤和苦难中寻求神救赎和慰藉的表达。他在神的面前,不再是指责别人,而是开始反省自己的生命。体会到得罪神的光景,只求神的怜悯。他不放手,因为认识神的属性,更有信心明白若悔改,神必听他的祷告。

一、认清罪恶、向神呼求(V1-3)

「耶和华啊,你要到几时才救我呢?」V3,大卫似乎已经在一个很低谷,很需要神救赎的。他不断呼求神,同时也意识到自己的罪的问题。无论是身、心、灵,都深受打击和无助。

当我们在罪中,面对困境的时候,会陷入一个孤单、无助、自怜、软弱的地步。甚至像诗篇中所形容的,骨头发战,就连身体也开始失控。心里也大大地惊惶。人若有罪缠身,无论是身、心、灵都被影响。但是我们要学习像大卫一样,认真去明白认识自己的罪孽,向神呼求。

二、认真回应、纪念神爱(V4-7)

大卫表达出对自己罪恶的深刻认识,虽然他对神好像来到无言以对,无法面对神,但同时也表现出对神的慈爱和仁慈的认识和倚靠。

即使大卫的心已经在一个病入膏肓的情景,就是情势已经到了无法挽回或解决的地步,但他仍然紧抓住神的慈爱,因为他知道神从来没有放手。在堕落中,我们要选择的是不要放开我们的手,因为神是不会放手的。神有慈爱、有恩典。唯有我们的内疚,自责,才会使我们放手。

三、认真交托、重新得力(V8-10)

当大卫认真面对自己的生命和罪,大大在神的面前忏悔后,他的力量开始恢复了。当面对敌人的攻击,他完全交托,因为知道更是确信神已经听了也收纳他的祷告,凭信心起来宣告神的权柄与大能。我们若与神和好,神必站在我们这一边。我们的一切仇敌,都成了神的仇敌。

总结:

我们要懂得深刻认清自己的罪恶,也要认识神的慈爱。抓住神信实的应许,及时回转,神必听我们的恳求,收纳我们的祷告如同父亲收纳一位无助的孩子。

Psalm 6: God Hears Our Voices
22/03/2023
Speaker: Asher Chang + Rev David Tan

Introduction:

What are the things that make us cry? When the realisation of the the situation and the realisation that there is no way out. Psalm 6 is perhaps a psalm of repentance written by David at the bottom of the valley. The stringed instrument, called the octave (ESV: Sheminith), is supposed to refer to the lowest note sung by the boys.

This psalm can be seen as an expression of David's seeking God's salvation and comfort in the midst of his sorrow and suffering. He ceased to accuse others in the presence of God, but began to reflect on his own life. He experienced the light of offending God, and asked only for God's mercy. He did not let go, for he knew the attributes of God, and had more confidence in understanding that if he repented, God would hear his prayer.

1. Recognising Sin and Crying Out to God (V1-3)

"You, O Lord—how long?" In V3, David seemed to be at a very low point and in great need of God's salvation. He kept crying out to God, and at the same time realised the problem of his own sin. Both body, mind and spirit were deeply battered and helpless.

When we are in sin and face difficulties, we can fall into a lonely, helpless, self-pity, and weak point. Even as the Psalmist describes it, the bones was troubled and even the body begins to lose control. The heart is also greatly frightened. If a person is wracked with sin, he is affected in body, mind, and spirit. But we need to learn to understand our sins seriously, as David did, and to cry out to God.

2. Serious Response and Remembrance of God's Love(V4-7)

David expressed a deep awareness of his sin, and although he seemed to have come to be speechless and unable to face God, he also showed his awareness of and dependence on God's love and mercy.

Even though David's heart was in a very sick scenario, that is, the situation was beyond redemption or resolution, he still clung to God's mercy, because he knew that God never let go. In the midst of the fall, the choice we have to make is not to let go of our hand, because God does not let go. God is loving and gracious. The only thing that will cause us to let go is our guilt, our self-reproach.

3. Serious Surrender and Renewed Strength (V8-10)

When David seriously faced his life and sin, and greatly repented before God, his strength began to be restored. When confronted with the attacks of his enemies, he surrendered completely, knowing and being sure that God had heard and accepted his prayer, and rose up in faith to declare the authority and power of God. If we are reconciled to God, He will be on our side. All our enemies have become God's enemies.

Conclusion:

We must know how to deeply recognise our own sins, and we must also recognise God's mercy. Take hold of God's faithful promises and turn back in time, and God will hear our pleas and receive our prayers like a father receives a helpless child.
