主讲: 区箴唤实习传道 + 陈炎明牧师

引言:

有人说,不会祷告读诗篇,不会做人读箴言。从诗篇143中,我们将再次能够从被主称为合神心意的大卫身上学习如何去祷告。经文背景虽然不详,但从大卫的心声中我们知道这是他人生面对重大危机,大遭仇敌攻击逼迫的时候,所以他当时正切切求神来引导和拯救他!

一、神垂听信祂之人的祷告

1. 因祂既信实又公义(V1)
大卫讲出神信实和公义的属性,认定神必要来听他的祷告。

2. 因祂怜恤每个罪人(V2)
大卫承认自己作为人的罪性,知道神必要来怜恤承认自己过犯之人的祷告。我们来到神面前的时候一定要承认自己的过犯,让神来赦免我们所认的罪,更是除去神要来垂听我们祷告的拦阻。

3. 因祂眷顾祂的子民(V3)
大卫自己作为神的子民,一定会蒙神拯救,脱离仇敌的手。

二、人当纪念并切切寻求神(V4-6)

大卫在艰难痛苦的光景里,思想神各样大大小小的作为,来提升自己对神的信心,然后继续切切地来寻求神。

三、人当遵神旨意等候救赎

1.速速应允我(V7a)
大卫求神快快垂听,他愿离弃罪恶。

2.不向我掩面 (V7b)
大卫求神的同在不要离开,否则他觉得自己就像死人一样。

3.得神的慈爱(V8a)
大卫求神在清晨来对他说慈爱的话,让他在艰难中得着盼望。

4.明白神道路(V8b)
大卫在艰难中寻求神的道路,而不是自己的道路。

5.剪除我仇敌(V9,12)
大卫求神救他脱离仇敌的手。

6. 遵行神旨意(V10)
大卫求神指教他要怎样去遵行神的旨意,好让他能够讨神喜悦,脱离困境。

7. 生命得复兴(V11)
大卫求神让他生命经历复兴,因神的公义他必脱离患难。

总结:

在人生的艰难中,我们要效法大卫宣告神的属性,思想神大大小小的作为,继续相信神必要来垂听我们的祷告。

在祷告中,我们除了当把我们的需要带到神的面前,求神来拯救我们。我们更是要承认并离弃我们的罪孽,求神帮助我们活出祂的旨意,以至于我们在这个突破艰难的经历里,最终能够进入到生命复兴的状态中!

Psalms 143: May God Guide And Save The Cry
GK611 Morning Devotion
21/06/2022
Speaker: IP Moses Ou + Rev David Tan

Introduction:

It has been said that if you can't pray read the Psalms and you can't be rational read Proverbs. From Psalm 143, we will once again be able to learn how to pray from David, whom the Lord called a man after God's own heart. The context of the passage is not known, but we know from David's heart that this was a time of great crisis in his life, when he was being attacked and persecuted by the enemy, and so he was asking God earnestly to guide and save him!

1. God Hears the Prayers of those Who Believe in Him

(1) Because He is both faithful and righteous (V1)
David spoke of the attributes of God's faithfulness and righteousness, and determined that God would hear his prayer.

(2) Because He has compassion on every sinner (V2)
David confessed his sinfulness as a man, knowing that God must come to have mercy on the prayers of those who confess their transgressions. We must confess our sins when we come to God, so that He may forgive us our confessed sins, and moreover remove any hindrance to His coming to hear our prayers.

(3) Because He cares for His people (V3)
David himself, as God's people, will be saved by God from the hand of the enemy.

2. People Should Remember and Earnestly Seek God (V4-6)

David thought about the various acts, no matter large or small, in a difficult and painful time, to improve his faith in God, and then continued to seek God earnestly.

3. People Should Wait for Salvation According to God's Will

(1) Promptly answer me (V7a)
David asked God to hear him quickly, and he was willing to turn away from sin.

(2) Do not hide your face from me (V7b)
David asked God's presence not to leave, otherwise he felt like a dead man.

(3) To have God's lovingkindness (V8a)
David asked God to come and speak lovingly to him in the early morning, so that he might have hope in the midst of hardship.

(4) Understanding God's Way (V8b)
David sought God's way in the midst of hardship, not his own way.

(5) Cut off my enemies (V9, 12)
David asked God to deliver him from the hand of his enemies.

(6) Doing God's will (V10)
David asked God to show him how to do God's will, so that he could please God and get out of trouble.

(7) Revival of life (V11)
David asked God to let him experience revival in his life, and that he would be delivered from his troubles because of God's righteousness.

Conclusion:

In the midst of life's hardships, we need to follow the example of David in declaring the attributes of God, thinking about God's actions, both big and small, and continuing to believe that God will come to hear our prayers.

In prayer, we should not only bring our needs to God and ask Him to save us. We are to confess and turn away from our sins and ask God to help us live out His will so that we can finally enter into a state of revival in our lives during this breakthrough experience!
