诗篇[第78篇]|Book of Psalm 78

【训诲诗:训诲师】

主讲:陈炎明牧师

18/11/2021


引言 :成功的人很少是天生的,所谓名师出高徒···

强将手下无弱兵,如果我们有一位地表最强的教练大将作我们的人生导师,我们就有机会成为训练有素、强而有力的精兵强人不是吗?

《诗篇78》是亚萨的【训诲诗】,当今天圣灵带领我们读这诗篇的时候,让这诗篇也成为我们强而有力的人生‘训诲师’,这位‘训诲师’不止是地表最强的,甚至是全宇宙最强的,因为祂是创造主,祂的训诲要指教我们,让我们都从历史中学到宝贵的人生功课。

一、诫命就是训诲师(V1-16)

亚萨是大卫诗班的班长。他是革顺族的利末人,在四千人的大诗班中,是位崇高的乐师。当年约柜迁入耶路撒冷时,亚萨和他的乐师前行奏乐,敲钹吹号,鼓瑟弹琴,用诗歌颂扬赞美耶和华。(代上16:4-7)他的后裔历代掌管诗歌事奉。

1.把诫命传递后代子孙 (V1-7)

你有没有想过为什么犹太人成为全世界中最杰出、最有钱、最聪明的人呢?因为他们有神的训诲! 神要祂的子民留心听从祂的【训诲】,这字的原文就是תּוֹרָה (Torah) ,是指律法、指引、教诲。妥拉也就是生命树。过去曾在主日信息中和大家分享过,希伯来语妥拉这四个字母的总数是400+6+200+5=611。换言之,今天神要给我们的亮光就是要把611的生命树真理,传递给我们的后代子子孙孙。

说到律法当然是指摩西五经,但是对我们而言,“611的真理”也就是耶稣的使命,已经被主爱所成全的律法。以赛亚书61:1说到主被圣灵恩膏,叫一切被掳的得释放····。这也是我们教会的异象,我们的使命。当你来到GK611到时候时候,你就要准备接受牧养,接受611的训诲和使命。让你成为生命树的生命。然后不是停留在你自己改变而已,而是要起来牧养,让生命树的生命继续传给下一代。

2.勿悖逆顽梗忘记神恩(V8-16)

神在以色列民出埃及的事情上,让他们经历了前所未有的大神迹、大奇事:云柱火柱、红海分开成干地、磐石出水等等。选民怎么可能忘记神呢?

611对弟兄姐妹,神对我们真的有特别的拣选与呼召。我们过去经过许多大而可畏的神迹奇事。神怎么救赎我们、医治我们、释放我们、让我们经历许多恩宠,我们怎能不忠心对神、一生服事神呢?

世人都知道忘恩负义是不好的,对人忘恩负义都已经是不好,更何况对神呢?你领受过神的引导和开路吗?你经历过神奇妙的供应吗?如果是的话你会忘记报恩吗?

二、不听训诲妄论神(V17-29)

惹神发怒了还有救吗? 神一而再再而三的向选民显出祂的恩典与大能,然而百姓却用不信的口吻,否定神的大能。 但是神依然显出恩典,以超自然神迹供应他们每一天的需要。这么大的神迹,人怎么还会否认神?悖逆神呢?

人为什么会不听神的训诲?为什么会妄论神的作为?妄论就是以一些邪门歪道的论点去评定神的作为。原因是因为他们不信,不信神真的是他们独一的神?唯一的神?全能和爱人的神。

三、不听训诲必后悔(V30-55)

对于不肯听从神的训诲而一再悖逆的人,连神都忍无可忍。不得不除灭其中的破坏份子。

1.死不悔改心不正(V30-38)

这些人真的不见棺材不落泪,但是他们虽然回转,但是内心还是不够真诚。但是,至少让神有“理由”再怜悯他们,赦免他们,暂时放过他们。除非他们又再重犯,神又会与他们算帐。

你是个容易悔改的人吗?是就很好,但是更重要的是要持守改变,免得老是重犯!

2.为民担忧为民愁(V39-41)

面对不受教的子民,神的心非常矛盾。祂如果只是公义的审判官,把他们杀了就完了。但是神也是他们的父,看到孩子的悖逆,叫父神的心产生和等的担忧呢?

我们当中作父母的一定明白我在说什么?孩子无论多坏,父母即使怎么打骂管教,最终还是为孩子担忧,期待孩子改变。有父亲气孩子气到要脱离父子关系,但是这代表什么?父亲有多在意这个孩子,否则就不会这么大费周章,气爆自己的身体。

3.伟大历史岂能忘(V42-55)

埃及十灾是历史上最伟大的神迹,当时神的选民怎么被分别为圣?这么大的神迹人怎能忘记呢? 神最终的用意就是要牧养、喂养祂所爱的子民。神为子民预备了佳美之地,充满丰盛神迹的土地。应许之地可以十分贫瘠,也可以十分丰硕,全在乎有没有神的同在与祝福。

4.管教正因不受教(V56-64)

翻背的弓:指偏离目标的箭。弓箭乃对抗敌人而射,向外攻击,可是他们却是翻背的弓,射的就是自己人。意思说当人悖逆神的时候,原以为追随外邦偶像是为了得利益,不料最终竟然是更大的亏损。

为什么有些人一直会被骂被管教,还是一次又一次的老毛病重犯?就是因为不肯受教。神的恩典与慈爱是无限的,但是我们的时间和生命是有限的。不要等到忽然倒下去的时候才发现太迟了,没机会悔改就成了永恒的定局。

四、神兴起牧养选民(V65-72)

神拣选忠心的牧人(既是训诲师),按心中的纯正牧养自己的百姓,以个样的巧手牧养他们。既是以生命树的 真理训诲去训养。 神的子民悖逆犯罪,软弱多时,神好像睡着了,不闻也不问,任凭他们沉陷在黑暗的辖制中。但是,时间到了,忽然间神好像睡醒了,酒醒了,就出手攻击敌人,实行拯救。

神一再表明祂愿意牧养祂的子民,不断在祂的教会中兴起“训诲师”,以真理诫命牧养祂的儿女,你是顺命而蒙福的孩子么?

总结:历史教训是人类的功课

我们可以在别人的历史中学乖,成为蒙福的人。 也可以成为历史中的被管教者,你选哪一种呢? 神的话、律法与诫命都是我们的训诲师,为叫我们成为荣耀的生命树!

Kings 24: Psalm of Laws—Teacher of Laws GK611 Morning Devotion 18/11/2021 Speaker: Reverend David Tan

Introduction: Successful people are seldom born, and it is said that a famous teacher makes a good student ----.

There are no weak soldiers under a strong general. If we have a great coach who is the strongest on earth as our life coach, we have the opportunity to become well-trained, strong and powerful elite soldiers and strong men, don't we?

Psalm 78 is the Asaph’s psalm of laws. As the Holy Spirit leads us to read this Psalm today, let this Psalm also be our strong and powerful life 'teacher', who is not only the strongest on the earth, but even the strongest in the universe, because He is the Creator, and His teachings will teach us, so that we all learn valuable life lessons from history.

1.The Commandment is the instructor (V1-16) Asaph was the leader of David's choir. He was a Levites of the tribe of Gershon, and was an exalted musician in a large choir of four thousand people. When the ark of the covenant was moved into Jerusalem, Asaph and his musicians went forth to play music, banging cymbals and blowing trumpets, playing the lyre, and praising the LORD with psalms. (1 Chronicles 16:4-7) His descendants have been in charge of the worship ministry for generations.

(1) Passing on the commandments to future generations (V1-7)

Have you ever wondered why the Jews became the most prominent, the richest, and the smartest people in the world? It is because they have God's laws! God wants His people to be attentive to His [teachings], which is the original word תּוֹרָה (Torah), which means Torah, guidance, teaching. Torah is also the tree of life. As I have shared with you in the past, the total number of the four letters of the Hebrew word Torah is 400 + 6 + 200 + 5 = 611. In other words, the light God wants to give us today is to pass on the 611 truths of the Tree of Life to our children and grandchildren.

When we speak of the Law, we are of course referring to the Pentateuch, but for us, the "611 truths" are also the mission of Jesus, the Law that has been fulfilled by the love of the Lord. Isaiah 61:1 speaks of the Lord being anointed by the Holy Spirit to set all captives free ----. This is also the vision of our church, our mission. When you come to GK611 by then, you will be ready to be shepherded and receive the teachings and mission of 611. Let you become the life of the tree of life. And then not stop at just changing yourself, but get up and shepherd so that the life of the tree of life continues to be passed on to the next generation.

(2) Do not rebel and forget God's grace (V8-16)

God allowed the people of Israel to experience unprecedented miracles and wonders in their exodus from Egypt: the pillar of cloud and fire, the parting of the Red Sea into dry land, water coming out from the rock, and so on. How could the chosen people forget God?

To 611 brothers and sisters, God really has a specially chosen and called us. We have passed through many great and fearful signs and wonders in the past. How can we not be faithful to God and serve Him all the days of our lives when God has redeemed us, healed us, freed us, and let us experience many graces?

The world knows that ingratitude is bad. It is bad enough to be ungrateful to people, let alone to God. Have you received God's guidance and openness? Have you experienced the wonderful provision of God? If so, will you forget to repay your kindness?

2.Blatantly talking about God without listening to the teaching (V17-29) Is there any salvation in provoking God to anger? God has shown His grace and power to His chosen people, yet the people denied His power with unbelief. But God still showed His grace and provided their needs every day with supernatural miracles. With such great miracles, how could people still deny God? How can man disobey God?

Why do people disobey God's teachings? Why do they blatantly talk about the works of God? Talking blatantly is to judge God's works with some evil arguments. The reason is because they do not believe, and do not believe that God is the only true God? The almighty and loving God.

3. Disobey teaching will be regretted (V30-55)

Even God cannot tolerate those who refuse to obey His teaching and repeatedly disobey. He has to destroy the saboteurs among them.

(1)Unrepentant and unrighteous (V30-38)

These people refuse to give up until they are completely defeated, but although they turn back, they are still not sincere in their hearts. However, at least God has a "reason" to have mercy on them again, to forgive them, and to let them go for a while. Unless they sin again, God will deal with them again.

Are you a person who easily repent? Yes, that's good, but it's more important to keep changing so you don't keep repeating yourself!

(2) Worry for the people and sorrow for the people (V39-41)

God's heart is in deep dilemma when facing the unteachable people. If He were only a righteous judge, He would have killed them and that would have been the end of it. But God is also their Father, and seeing the rebellion of His children, how worry is the heart of the Heavenly Father?

(3) The great history should not be forgotten (V42-55)

The ten plagues of Egypt were the greatest miracle in history, and how were God's chosen people set apart for holiness at that time? How could people forget such a great miracle?

(4) Discipline comes because unteachable (V56-64)

The bow with the back turned over: the arrow that is off target. The bow and arrows are shot against the enemy, outwardly, but they are bows with their backs turned, shooting at their own people. This means that when people rebel against God, they think they are following the pagan idols for benefits, but they end up with a greater loss.

4.God raises up the shepherding of the elect (V65-72)

God chooses faithful shepherds (also instructors) to shepherd His people according to the purity of their hearts, and to shepherd them with skillful hands. They are both shepherded by the true teachings of the tree of life. When God's people were rebellious and weak, God seemed to be asleep, and did not care, leaving them to indulge in the bondage of darkness. But when the time came, suddenly God seemed to wake up from sleep, and the wine awakened, and he took action against the enemies, and save His people.

Conclusion: History lessons are lessons for mankind

We can learn from the history of others and become obedient and blessed. Or we can people who were disciplined in history. Which one do you choose?
