【看破黑暗走向光】

主讲：郑伟健实习传道

22/11/2024

引言：光的缺席

一、无神者被黑暗吞噬

1.眼中无神，缺乏敬畏（V1）
2.自夸自媚，迷失真理（V2）
3.言语诡诈，破坏关系（V3）
4.策划恶事，乐此不疲（V4）

当一个人眼中没有神，他便以自我为中心，逐渐被黑暗吞噬。没有光的人在暗中行走，难免被困却不自知。大卫称这样的人为恶人，因为他们不仅无视神，还自夸自媚，将自己的软弱与罪性合理化。他们如鸵鸟般将头埋在沙中，拒绝面对神的真理，而是纵容自己的欲望。更可怕的是，他们不仅如此，甚至以诡诈的话语伤害他人，以策划恶事为乐。这种生活方式最终会导致破裂的关系和自我的毁灭。

二、有神者看见神美善

1.慈爱信实（V5）
2.公义判断（V6）
3.拯救供应（V7-8）
4.光明与生命（V9）

面对恶人的种种罪行，大卫并没有沉浸在对人的怨恨或自怜中，反而将目光转向神的美善。他选择赞美神的慈爱、信实、公义、判断、供应，更是深信唯有神是光，唯有在祂里面才看见光。

神的性情如同高天之爱和深海之恩，充满无尽的丰富。凡寻求祂的人，都能得着保护与饱足，享受生命的甘美与光明的指引。属神的人因着认识祂，不仅能得到更新，还能成为祝福他人的管道。

三、得光者看破眼前难

1.为敌人祷告，活出爱（V10）
2.在困难中信神掌权（V11-12）


认识神的人，因得着光明而能以不同的眼光看待仇敌和眼前的困境。大卫祷告神将慈爱与公义赐给正直人，也呼求祂使恶人跌倒。属神之人并非以恶报恶，而是愿意为仇敌代求，用爱回应伤害。光使我们在困境中坚信神的掌权，以信心超越恐惧，以善胜过恶。这样的人如同世界中的光，活出生命树的见证，成为周围人的祝福。

总结：有光、有树、就有路

属神的人首先要警醒，避免成为眼中无神、行在黑暗中的人；其次要认识神的美善，扎根于祂的慈爱、公义与光明中；最后更要活出丰盛的生命，学会以爱回应仇敌，以信心面对挑战，走出光明之路。愿我们每一位都能在神的光中，看破黑暗，走向光明！


Psalm 36: Seeing Through Darkness and Going to the Light
GK611 Morning Devotion
22/08/2024
The Morning Devotion Speaker: IPs Asher

Introduction: The absence of light

1. The Godless are swallowed by darkness

1. Godless eyes, lack of awe (v.1)
2. Boasting and flattering oneself, losing the truth (v.2)
3. Deceitful words, destroy relationships (v.3)
4. Planning evil things, never getting tired of it (v.4)

When a person does not have God in his eyes, he becomes self-centered and is gradually swallowed up by darkness. People without light walking in darkness will inevitably be trapped without knowing it. David calls such people wicked because they not only ignore God but also boast and flatter themselves, rationalizing their own weakness and sinful nature. They bury their heads in the sand like ostriches, refusing to face God's truth and instead indulging their own desires. What’s even more frightening is that they go beyond that and even use deceitful words to hurt others and take pleasure in planning evil things. This lifestyle ultimately leads to broken relationships and self-destruction.

2. Those who have God see God’s goodness

1. Loving and faithful (v.5)
2. Righteous judgment (v.6)
3. Rescue provision (v.7-8)
4. Light and Life (v.9)

Faced with the sins of evil men, David did not indulge in resentment or self-pity. Instead, he turned his attention to the goodness of God. He chose to praise God for His love, faithfulness, righteousness, judgment, and provision. He was also convinced that only God is light, and only in Him can light be seen.

God’s nature is like the love of heaven and the grace of the sea, full of endless riches. Anyone who seeks Him can find protection and satisfaction, and enjoy the sweetness and bright guidance of life. By knowing Him, people of God can not only be renewed, but also become channels of blessing to others.

3. Those who have received the light can see through the difficulties before them.

1. Pray for your enemies and live out love (v.10)
2. Believe that God is in control amidst difficulties (v.11-12)

People who know God can see their enemies and the difficulties before them in a different light because they have received light. David prayed that God would give mercy and justice to the upright, and he also called on Him to cause the wicked to stumble. A man of God does not repay evil with evil but is willing to intercede for his enemies and respond to harm with love. Light enables us to firmly believe in God’s control in difficult situations, to overcome fear with faith, and to overcome evil with good. Such people are like lights in the world, living out the testimony of the tree of life and becoming a blessing to those around them.

Conclusion: Where there is light, where there are trees, there is a road

People who belong to God must first be alert and avoid becoming people who are godless and walk in darkness; secondly, they must know the goodness of God and be rooted in His love, righteousness, and light; and finally, they must live an abundant life. Learn to respond to enemies with love, face challenges with faith, and walk out on the bright road. May each of us be able to see through the darkness and move towards the light in the light of God!
