黎明的曙光
经文里的‘求告’不是指单独来到神面前祷告，而是向神呐喊。
大卫之所以这么激动的向神呐喊，是因为他感觉到这位曾经将他高举在磐石之上的神，此刻似乎对他的祷告和所遭遇到的患难全然缄默。他甚至表明倘若神向他闭口，他就如将死的人一样。
弟兄姐妹，我们会惧怕还活着的时候，神缄默闭口不再对我们说话了吗？
虽然大卫对神的缄默感到绝望无助，他依然没有放弃向着至圣所举手哭喊呼求。他热切期盼神垂听他的恳求。
当我们面临试炼和苦难的处境，纵然神缄默，让我们也像大卫那样不放弃的在绝境中向神哭喊。因为信实的神是我们唯一的依靠。
神的缄默让大卫开始省察自己的生命在神面前真实的光景后，能毫无畏惧的对神说：“我跟那些恶人并作孽的是不一样的。不要把我和他们一同除掉！”
当神对我们的呼求缄默时，要相信这正神恩典和怜悯的彰显。所以要更积极的来到神的面前，求圣灵光照我们生命的软弱。把握机会，让生命被调整，继续与生命树对齐。
不留心=藐视
毁坏或建立的主权在神手中。面对不公不义的欺压时，要将审判的主权交回给神。
神可以毁坏恶人，也可以建立谦卑的义人。当我们呼求：“神啊！祢为什么不出手？”之前，要确定神的出手是建立我们。所以，拥有时刻谦卑悔改的生命很重要。
当大卫继续举手呼求神，终于迎来黎明的曙光。他明白到自己是与神立约，属神的子民。慈爱守约的神必不会不管他。因此，他的眼目开始从自己的困境中转到神身上，起来开口称颂神。
a）信神听了恳求声（v6）
此刻的大卫因为重新专注于神，信心再次被挑旺起来。虽然环境依旧没改变，但他确定神已经听了他的恳求。
b）神是力量与盾牌（v7a）
神的力量是在人的软弱上显得完全。但是要得神的力量和盾牌的保护，关键在于我们的心要依靠神。因为神的话语告诉我们，倚靠神的就得帮助。
c）喜乐充满歌颂神（v7b）
当神是我们的依靠时，我们不止得着力量，更能转忧为喜的唱诗颂赞神。
大卫作为以色列的王，神的受膏者，就起来为百姓代求。求神赐福与百姓，成为他们的大牧者，牧养、供应和保护他们直到永远。
今天作为神的儿女，我们也以经被膏抹成为“君尊的祭司、圣洁的国民”。让我们也起来去为许多人的需要代求。呼求神也成为他们的力量、盾牌和保障。
神是好神。神的缄默不是要带给我们伤害或审判。当我们懂得在神缄默时紧紧的依靠寻求祂的面时，像神对大卫那样，祂必要做我们的力量和盾牌。带领我们得胜。
让我们也立志兴起前进，不但为身边的人代求，更要成为新加坡、甚至列国的代祷者。成为祝福这世代的管道。
Psalm 28:
The Power of God in His Silence
GK611 Morning Devotion
6/6/2024
The Morning Devotion Speaker: Ps Deborah Tan
The Light of the Dawn
The 'supplication' in Scripture does not mean coming to God alone in prayer, but crying out to God.
The reason David cried out to God with such emotion was because he sensed that the God who had lifted him up on the rock seemed to be totally silent at the moment about his prayers and his troubles. He even indicated that if God closed His mouth to him, he would be like a dying man.
Brothers and sisters, do we fear that while we are still alive, God will be silent and not speak to us anymore?
Though David despaired of God's silence, he did not give up lifting up his hands and crying out to the Most Holy Place. He was eagerly waiting for God to hear his plea.
When we are faced with trials and tribulations, even though God is silent, let us not give up crying out to God like David did in his desperate situation. For the faithful God is our only dependence.
God's silence allowed David to begin to examine his life in its true light before God, and then to say to God without fear, “I am not like those who are wicked and do evil. Do not take me away with the wicked and with the workers of iniquity！“
When God is silent to our cries, believe that this is a manifestation of God's grace and mercy. So come to God more actively and ask the Holy Spirit to illuminate the weaknesses in our lives. Seize the opportunity to have your life tuned up and continue to be aligned with the tree of life.
Inattention = despise
The sovereignty to destroy or build up is in God's hands. When faced with unjust and unrighteous oppression, surrender the sovereignty of judgment back to God. God can destroy the wicked or establish the humble righteous man. When we cry out, “God! Why don't You intervene?" Be sure that God's hand is to establish us before we cry, “Why don't You do something? Therefore, it is important to have a life of constant humility and repentance.
As David continued to lift up his hands to God, the dawn finally broke. He realised that he was in covenant with God and belonged to His people. A loving, covenant-keeping God would not leave him alone. Therefore, his eyes began to turn from his predicament to God, and he rose up and praised God.
a) Faith on God that He hears our supplications (v6)
At this point in his life, David's faith was once again stirred up by his renewed focus on God. Although his circumstances remained unchanged, he was sure that God had heard his plea.
b) God is a strength and a shield (v7a)
God's strength is made perfect in man's weakness. But the key to being protected by God's strength and shield is for our hearts to rely on God. For God's Word tells us that those who rely on God will receive help.
c) Joyful and full of songs of praise to God (v7b)
When God is our dependence, we are not only empowered, but we are able to turn our sorrows into joyful singing of praise to God.
David, as Israel's king and God's anointed, rose up to intercede for the people. He asked God to bless the people, to be their Great Shepherd, to shepherd, provide for and protect them forever.
Today, as God's children, we have also been anointed to be “a royal priesthood and a holy nation”. Let us also rise up and intercede for the needs of many. Call upon God to be their strength, shield and protection.
clinging on to the Good Shepherd God is the Good God. God's silence is not meant to bring us harm or judgment. When we know how to cling on to God in His silence and seek His face, as God did with David, He needs to be our strength and shield. He will lead us into victory.
Let us also aspire to advance and arise, not only to intercede for those around us, but to be intercessors for Singapore and even for the nations. We shall be a channel of blessing to this generation.
