诗篇第3篇|Book of Psalm 3

【争战得胜在于祢】

主讲：郑伟健同工+陈炎明牧师

08/03/2023 引言：体会诗人赞美的心情！

播放赞美之泉的诗歌：《争战得胜在于祢》，一同敬拜来感受低谷时若能赞美的心情。

一、在敌人面前赞美神 V1-2

诗篇的开始就如一首诗歌的主歌，在形容大卫当时候的情形。大卫晚年时，他的儿子押沙龙叛乱，大部分的以色列人都跟随押沙龙背叛他。当时候被迫逃难的大卫心情非常沮丧。当时候很多人认为这是大卫因犯罪而受神的惩罚，所以众人都认为大卫这次得不着神的帮助。对一生信靠神的大卫来说，是一个极大的打击。

当我们在面对困难挑战的时候，我们里面也常常会听到恶者对我们的控告，不断用谎言对我们说，神不会帮助我们使我们陷入更深的沮丧和忧郁中。大卫在逼迫逃命的时候，他仍然唱诗歌颂神。困难成了锻炼大卫的信心的管道。

这首诗歌鼓舞我们，在人生低谷和沮丧中，赞美神，让神动工，就看见一条出路。

二、在无助时候抬起头 V3-4

大卫很快就把目光从看困难到转向神。‘但祢’原文是充满感情、强调的语气。大卫已经向神彻底认罪悔改，他明白也深信神已经赦免他。

当大卫坚定于他所认识的神时，他突破了控告与谎言。恢复尊严，抬起头来向神求告。

三、在争战中让神出手V5-8

大卫是蒙召作王的人，他不但在神里面避难、安息，更在神里面得胜。当敌人‘起来’攻击大卫的时候，重新得力的大卫回应是呼求神‘起来’，救他。

当我们不再定睛在环境，而转向神并神修复关系的时候，即使在仇敌的面前也能得着安息，因为神必保佑，是指神必扶持保护我们。

总结：困境中赞美神吧，因救恩属乎耶和华！

救恩是神赐予我们的白白的恩典。仇敌使用困境蒙蔽我们的眼，用谎言搅扰我们的耳朵，使我们没办法看见这恩典，罪使我们与神隔绝。当我们转向神悔改的时候，我们的赞美可以使仇敌逃离。这些困境谎言没办法拦阻我们，因为耶和华已经得胜。

Psalm 3: The victory of the battle belongs to You
GK611 Morning Devotion
08/03/2023
Speaker: Asher Chang + Rev David Tan

Introduction: Experience the psalmist's feelings of praise! Play the worship song from the Stream of Praise: "The battle belongs to You" and worship together to feel what it would be like to praise when times are low.

1. Praising God in the presence of the enemy V1-2

The Psalm begins as the main song of a psalm, describing the situation of David in his day. In David's later years his son Absalom rebelled and most of the Israelites followed Absalom and betrayed him. David, who was forced to flee, was in a very depressed state. Many people at the time thought that this was God's punishment for David's sin, and so the people thought that David would not receive God's help this time. It was a great blow to David, who had trusted God all his life.

When we face difficult challenges, we too often hear in us the accusations of the evil one against us, constantly telling us with lies that God will not help us plunging us into deeper depression and sadness. When David was forced to flee for his life, he still sang and praised God. Difficulties became a channel for exercising David's faith.

This psalm inspires us to praise God and let God move in the midst of life's lows and discouragement, and we see a way out.

2. Lifting up the head in times of helplessness V3-4

David soon turns his gaze from looking at difficulties to turning to God. 'But You' in the original is an emotion-filled, emphatic tone. David had confessed his sins to God in complete repentance, and he understood and was convinced that God had forgiven him.

As David stood firm in the God he knew, he broke through the accusations and lies. Restore his dignity and lift up his head to God.

3. Making God's hand in the battle V5-8

David was the one called to reign. He not only took refuge and rested in God, but he triumphed in God. When the enemy 'rose up' against David, the renewed David responded by calling on God to 'rise up' and deliver him.

When we stop fixing our eyes on circumstances and turn to God and His restoring relationships, we can rest even in the presence of the enemy, for God will bless, meaning God will sustain and protect us.

Conclusion: Praise God in the midst of trouble, for salvation belongs to the Lord!

Salvation is a free gift from God. The enemy uses hardship to blind our eyes and distract our ears with lies so that we cannot see this grace. Sin separates us from God. When we turn to God in repentance, our praise can cause the enemy to flee. These troubling lies cannot stop us, for the Lord is victorious.
