【当向神大声欢呼！】

引言:

诗篇81篇呼吁神的子民要守神的节期，并在节日时要向神大声欢呼。让我们在疫情的光景，透过这篇诗篇一起来领受：为什么要向神大声欢呼？又当如何能欢呼赞美神？

一、因是神律例 (V1-4)

V4因这是为以色列定的律例，是雅各神的典章。
原来这是神为祂的子民所定的律例。既然是神已定的，我们就当遵守。

现在疫情的逆境，把这章诗篇应用在我们当中，就是当捉住机会来教会敬拜神，趁有机会就应该回到神的殿中敬拜神，因为这些日子不是理所当然的！

二、因着神恩典 (V5-7)

这段经文是在数算神的恩典。因着神的恩典，神的子民当向神大声欢呼敬拜。

犹太人每逢节日便会特别记念神的恩典，因为神曾拯救他们脱离埃及人的辖制。现今我们基督徒每逢主日，更应该记念神的恩典，由衷地欢呼赞美神! 因为主耶稣已拯救我们脱离撒但的辖制了。因着神的恩典，我们要一起来敬拜感谢神!

三、因有神应许 (V8-10)

V10我是耶和华你的神，曾把你从埃及地领上来。你要大大张口，我就给你充满。
这是神的应许。神的子民当向神大声欢呼歌颂，因为神已有应许，要大大地充满我们!

神的应许都是真实的，愿意向寻求祂的人施恩，但问题在于人。很常不愿意向神张口，对神的渴慕不够，所以导致我们的灵性贫穷，也无法全心全意的地敬拜神。所以，我们就要凭信心求，在神的丰富中欢乐敬拜神。

四、因为神心意 (V11-16)

V13甚愿我的民肯听从我，以色列肯行我的道。
这是神对祂子民的心意，希望我们能听从行在神的道上。这也是基督徒得胜的秘诀。如果神的百姓肯听从行真道，那么神的美福就丰富的临到。包括: 蒙福得胜，吃得饱、穿得暖、得享平安和永生（V14-16）。

许多人受苦难便认为神是苦待人的，事实上神不苦待人，乃是人自己走上苦难的路途。

神向人存的意念是好的。只要人肯听从跟从祂，就必经历祂美好的心意。神向人存这么美好的意念，所以，我们是当向神大大的欢呼赞美！

总结:

因着神对世人的恩典、应许和心意，我们都当向神欢呼赞美！
特别今天在疫情中，我们更要确信神仍掌权，珍惜每个机会回到教会一起欢乐敬拜神。神要让我们大大得充满，以神为乐！由衷地从心向神感恩欢呼赞美神!

Psalms 81: Shout out to God!
GK611 Morning Devotion
26/01/2022
Speaker: IP Daniel Kew + Rev David Tan

Introduction:

Psalm 81 calls God's people to keep God's feasts and to shout to God at the festivals. In the light of the epidemic, let us take in this Psalm together: Why should we shout out to God? And how can we rejoice and praise God?

1. Because It is the Law of God (V1-4)

V4 For this is a statute for Israel, a law of the God of Jacob.
It turns out that this is the law of God for His people. Since God has ordained it, we should keep it.

Now with the adversity of the epidemic, applying this Psalm to us is to seize the opportunity to come to church and worship God, and to return to the house of God to worship God while we have the opportunity, because these days are not to be taken for granted!

2. By the Grace of God (V5-7)

This passage is counting the grace of God. By God's grace, God's people should worship God with a loud shout of joy.

The Jews especially remembered God's grace on every feast because God had delivered them from Egyptian jurisdiction. Nowadays, we Christians should remember God's grace every Sunday and praise God from the bottom of our hearts! For the Lord Jesus has saved us from the jurisdiction of Satan. By God's grace, let us worship and thank God together!

3. Because of the Promise of God (V8-10)

V10 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt; open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
This is the promise of God. God's people should shout out to God in joy and praise, for God has promised to fill us greatly!

God's promises are all true and willing to show grace to those who seek Him, but the problem is with people. Often, we are not willing to open our mouths to God, and we do not have enough desire for Him, so that we are spiritually poor and cannot worship Him wholeheartedly. Therefore, we need to ask by faith, and worship God with joy in His abundance.

4. Because of God's Heart (V11-16)

V13 Oh, that My people would listen to Me, that Israel would walk in My ways!
This is God's heart for His people, that we would listen and walk in His ways. This is also the secret of Christian’s victory. If God's people are willing to listen and walk in the truth, then God's good blessings will come in abundance. These include: being blessed with victory, being fed, being clothed, and having peace and eternal life (V14-16).

Many people who suffered think that God is hard on people, but the truth is that God is not hard on people, but people themselves go on the path of suffering. God's intentions toward man are good. If man will listen and follow Him, he will experience His good intentions. God has such good intentions for man, so let us rejoice and praise Him greatly!

Conclusion:

For God's grace, promises and heart for the world, let us all rejoice and praise God!
Especially today in the midst of the epidemic, we should be sure that God is still in power and cherish every opportunity to return to church and worship God with joy. God wants us to be greatly filled and to rejoice in Him! Give thanks and praise to God from the bottom of our hearts!
