【全知神要苏醒民心】

主讲: 丘均发实习传道

26/05/2022

引言：

神的子民用嘴唇尊敬神，心却远离神，不听先知所说的话。于是全知的神就攻击这些愚昧顽梗的子民，直到他们醒悟过来。

一、神知子民心远离（V1-14）

1. 耶路撒冷受攻击（V1-8）

神的子民以色列人年复一年，谨守神的节期，他们没想到，耶和华竟要攻击祂自己的百姓。神要审判这城，好使它成为真正的‘亚利伊勒’，也就是神真正的祭坛。

2. 遭难乃因假虔诚（V9-14）

先知启示了神审判百姓的原因，乃是因为他们的假虔诚。这百姓用嘴唇尊敬神，但他们的心却远离神。现在神宣告，祂要在他们中间行奇妙的事，好让他们发现，他们智慧人的智慧原是多么愚昧。

二、神要苏醒民的心（V15-24）

1. 神能见暗中之事（V15-16）

耶路撒冷的居民是顽梗和无知的，他们以为神看不见、管不到他们。先知毫不留情地揭开了他们的阴谋。他们颠倒事情，不将神当作造物主看待，认为神缺乏智慧。这是极度愚蠢的态度！

2.神能瞬间全翻转（V17-21）

这里让百姓知道神的大能瞬间可以改变一切。当神奇妙大能的作为彰显，那些傲慢、藐视神的人将受到严厉的刑罚，而谦卑、贫穷的人则看到了神的心意，欢喜快乐。

3. 神要恢复真敬虔（V22-24）

神的审判后，神将要来的拯救众人要回转，曾经愚顽的都必清醒过来。神的拯救，乃是恢复真正的敬虔。他们必尊雅各的圣者为圣，必敬畏以色列的神。那些心中迷糊的人，必得明白；发怨言的，必受训诲。

总结:

神的子民原是一群赞美神的子民，只是当时他们对神的赞美只在口中，心却远离神。全知的神因为爱，所以要苏醒子民愚昧蒙蔽的心，重整他们的生命恢复敬虔！ 我们也当省察自己，我们是什么样的一群人？我们的行事为人，是被神左右，还是被人左右？在神的话面前，我们是心存敬畏，还是心存侥幸？愿神光照苏醒我们的心！

Isaiah 29: Omniscient God awakens the hearts of the people
GK611 Morning Devotion
26/05/2022
Speaker: IP Daniel Kew

God's people honour God with their lips, but their hearts are far from Him, and they do not listen to what the prophets say. So, the Omniscient God condemned these foolish and stubborn people until they came to their senses.

I. God knows that the hearts of the people are far away (V1-14)

1. The attack on Jerusalem (V1-8)

God’s people the Israelites observed God's feasts year after year, but they did not expect that the Lord would strike His people. God is going to judge this city so that it will become the true 'Ariel,' the true altar of God.

2. Suffering because of false devotion (V9-14)

The prophets revealed that God judged the people because of their false devotion. The people honoured God with their lips, but their hearts were far from God. Now God declares that He will do wonderful things among them, that they may discover how foolish the wisdom of their wise men is.

II. God wants to awake the hearts of the people (V15-24)

1. God can see things in the dark (V15-16)

The inhabitants of Jerusalem were stubborn and ignorant. They thought that God could not see or control them. The Prophet mercilessly uncovered their conspiracy. They turn things upside down, don't see God as the creator, and think God lacks wisdom. This is an extremely foolish attitude!

2. God can turn things around instantly (V17-21)

This is to let the people know that the power of God can change everything in an instant. When God's miraculous and mighty deeds are manifested, those who are arrogant and despise God will be severely punished, while the humble and poor will see God's will and rejoice.

3. God will restore true godliness (V22-24)

After God’s judgment, God will come to save all people and turn them around, and those who were once foolish will wake up. God's salvation is the restoration of true godliness. They will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and they will fear the God of Israel. Those who are confused in their hearts will be understood; those who complain will be taught.

Conclusion:

The people of God were originally a group of people who praised God, but at that time they praised God only in their mouths, but their hearts were far from God. Because of His love, the Omniscient God wants to awaken the ignorant and deceived hearts of his people and rebuild their lives to restore godliness!

We should also examine ourselves, what kind of people are we? Is our conduct controlled by God or by man? In the presence of God’s Word, do we respect with fear or are we just feeling lucky? May the light of God awaken our hearts!
