诗篇第34篇|Book of Psalms 34【来尝尝主恩的滋味】
20/11/2024
引言：是侥幸吗？
在我们生命的低谷或困境中，当事情突然变好，你是否认会将这突如其来的转机视为“侥幸”呢？
今天诗篇34:1，提到大卫在亚比米勒面前装疯，结果得以脱险。在人看来，大卫似乎是戏剧化的侥幸逃脱了迦特王亚吉。但对大卫来说，他深知事实并非如此。若不是神的怜悯，迦特王如果定意要杀他为歌利亚报仇，他再怎么装疯也没有用。因此，他写了这首诗作为对神的感恩和为神作见证。 并鼓励人要来尝尝主丰盛的恩典。
一、时时称颂赞美神（v1-3）
大卫脱险之后回到扫罗势力范围的亚杜兰洞，虽然环境依然危险困苦，但因为知道自己能脱险是神的保护，因此他谦卑的从心底发出喜乐赞美神的话。
称颂赞美是神给我们得胜仇敌的最有力武器之一。仇敌最喜欢我们在遇到困难时，靠自己的血气来解决问题。不然就是愁眉苦脸、自哀自怨，甚至埋冤神。但v3大卫邀请在这样的光景里人一同来称颂赞美、高举神的名。因为他所经历的，其他人也必要经历！
你现在正面对苦难吗？让我们一起来喜乐的来开口：神啊！祢真伟大，我们一同高举祢的名！耶和华以勒！耶和华尼西！祢必带领我们得胜。通常当我们如此赞美神时，喜乐的膏油就要充满我们。
二、谦卑仰望有光荣（v4-6）
大卫在这段经文里强调，神是垂听卑微与无助之人祷告的神。也是应允拯救祂百姓脱离一切恐惧和患难的神。但要真实的尝到神的拯救和有神的光荣不再蒙羞的恩典，我们必须谦卑自己的来寻求、仰望、并呼求神。
所以，我们不止在恐惧患难中要寻求、并呼求神，成为有福的人，在顺境中更要做聪明人，常常仰望神。因为我们越多仰望神，就越能少看自己、少看周围的风浪。这样我们就越能平安无虑地驾驭在人生的风浪之上，脸上就越能彰显主的荣光。（40天与神筑梦继续的仰望神）
三、亲身经历神美善（v8-14）
大卫在这里呼吁我们要来尝尝主恩的滋味。知道神的美善、并且成为有福的人。
去年当我们一家人要去日本旅行时，听Susie姐妹说Hakone很美。有温泉，又可以坐在咖啡厅喝茶吃蛋糕，然后遥望富士山。师母去了也说很美。
我要怎样才能够真实享受到Hakone的美景和温泉呢？除非我选择去到那里去。同样的，我们怎么样才能够尝到主恩的滋味成为有福的人呢？除非我们选择：
1. 过投靠神的生活（v8）
主恩的滋味，总是留给那些积极寻求并投靠神、渴慕亲身经历祂的人。
很多时候我们因为工作、忙碌于有其他事情，没有时间，而忽略了亲近神，以至于我们真的很少尝到主恩的滋味，对神的美善也认识得很肤浅。就像我，因为当时觉得时间不够，也不舍得花钱买快铁的票，所以最终没去到Hakone。因此，到今天还是停留在听说Hakone很美。
让我们起来过一个投靠和渴慕神的生活，并成为天天都能尝到主恩滋味的有福人。
2.坚守敬畏神的道（v7，9-14）
大卫提醒，知道神美善的人，除了过投靠神的生活以外，还要成为敬畏神的人。因为敬畏神的人要饱尝主恩，什么好处都不缺。
敬畏神的人要在哪些方面坚守敬畏神的道呢？
a) 口出恩言（v13a）
虽然经文的基本要求提到要禁止舌头不出恶言，但作为神的儿女，我们要超越这基本要求，要口出恩言。因为我们的口如果不出恩言的话，就一定会出恶言。
b) 心无诡诈（v13b）
人的嘴唇会说诡诈的话，是因为心出了问题。（狡猾、不诚实、欺骗。。。）
在日常生活中，我们会不会也不小心的陷入虚假的敬拜、为了私欲假装顺服、试图掩盖或合理化自己的过错？又或在商业交易中有意隐瞒事实、走法律漏洞，以获取利益、用模棱两可或部分真相的话语，刻意误导他人？
c) 离恶行善（v14a）
不但要远离恶事，更对善事也要积极的下工夫。去顾念弱势群体。
d) 寻求和睦（v14b）
敬畏神的儿女不但要竭力的寻求和睦，更要去帮助人化解冲突。
e) 一心追赶（v14c）
最后大卫提醒，属灵的操练不可以三分钟热度。敬畏神的道路要持之以恒，一心追赶。务必要操练到自然的活出来。
四、神眼目看顾义人 （v15-22）
1.神对义人有恩典
神对义人就如同慈父，无论孩子在顺境还是逆境，父亲都是牵肠挂肚，也必看顾。
2.神对恶人必审判
恶人则与神疏离，将面对神的忿怒审判和最终的毁灭，他们的恶行成为自我毁灭的网罗。
愿我们都成为投靠神、蒙神看顾的义人
总结：活出神美善的见证
诗篇34提醒作为神儿女的我们，人生的转机并非侥幸，而是神的恩典。当我们尝到主恩的滋味后，不要停留在原处。让我们的生命活出吸引人也来尝尝主恩的滋味的见证！
Psalm 34: Taste and See That the Lord is Good
GK611 Morning Devotion
20/08/2024
The Morning Devotion Speaker: Ps Deborah
Introduction: Is it just luck?
In the valleys or difficulties of life, when things suddenly turn around, do you attribute the change to "luck"?
Psalm 34:1 recounts David acting madness before Abimelech, which resulted in his escape. From a human perspective, it might seem like a dramatic stroke of luck that David escaped King Achish of Gath. However, David recognized it was not mere luck but God's mercy. If not for God’s compassion, no act of pretending madness could have saved him if the king had resolved to kill him as revenge for Goliath. In gratitude and testimony to God, David composed this psalm, encouraging others to experience God's abundant grace.
I. Praising God at All Times (v1–3)
After escaping, David returned to the cave of Adullam in Saul's territory, a place still fraught with danger and hardship. Yet, knowing his deliverance was God's protection, he humbly and joyfully praised the Lord.
Praise is one of the most powerful weapons God gives us to overcome the enemy. The enemy delights when we face challenges by relying on our own strength, wallowing in despair, or blaming God. But in verse 3, David invites others to exalt and praise God's name together, for what he experienced is available to all!
Are you facing difficulties now? Let us open our hearts and joyfully proclaim: “Lord, You are truly great. We exalt Your name together! Jehovah Jireh! Jehovah Nissi! You will lead us to victory.” When we praise God like this, the oil of joy fills us.
II. Humble Dependence Leads to Radiance (v4–6)
David emphasizes that God hears the prayers of the humble and helpless, delivering His people from fear and trouble. To truly experience God’s salvation and the glory that keeps us from shame, we must humbly seek, look to, and call upon Him.
Not only in times of fear and trouble should we seek and call on God, but as blessed people, we must also look to Him continually in times of peace. The more we look to God, the less we focus on ourselves or the storms around us. This allows us to sail through life’s storms with peace, reflecting the glory of the Lord. (Let’s continue 40 days dreaming with God)
III. Experience God’s Goodness Personally (v8–14)
David urges us to "taste and see that the Lord is good" and become blessed by doing so.
Last year, when my family planned a trip to Japan, Sister Susie spoke highly of Hakone. She described its beauty: hot springs, enjoying tea and cake in cafes, and the view of Mount Fuji. Even Shimu testified it.
How could I truly experience Hakone’s beauty and hot springs? Only by choosing to go there myself. Similarly, how can we taste the goodness of the Lord and be blessed? Only by choosing to:
1. Live a Life of Trusting God (v8)
The goodness of the Lord is reserved for those who actively seek, trust, and yearn to experience Him. Many times, we neglect closeness with God due to work or busyness, causing us to miss His goodness and remain shallow in our knowledge of Him. Let us cultivate a life of trust and longing for God, becoming people who daily experience His goodness. Don’t be like me, who didn’t take actions in pursuing Hakone and till today, the beauty of Hakone is only an imagination in my mind.
Let us live a life that trust and seek the Lord and truly experience His goodness.
2. Uphold Reverence for God (v7, 9–14)
David reminds us that those who revere God will lack nothing good.
We uphold reverence for God in these ways:
A. Speak Words of Grace (v. 13a): Beyond refraining from evil speech, God’s children should exceed this basic requirement by speaking graciously. Without grace, our words can easily turn harmful.
B. Be Honest and Sincere (v. 13b): Deceptive lips stem from a corrupt heart. Do we fall into false worship, feigned obedience, or rationalize our mistakes? Do we hide facts in business, exploit legal loopholes, or use half-truths to mislead others?
C. Turn from Evil and Do Good (v. 14a): Not only should we avoid evil, but we must actively pursue goodness, caring for the marginalized.
D. Seek and Pursue Peace (v. 14b–c): God’s children should strive for peace, helping resolve conflicts with perseverance and consistency.
E. Pursue persistently (v. 14c): At last, David reminds us that we should pursue God with a reverent and persistent heart until it becomes our second nature.
IV. God Watches Over the Righteous (v15–22)
1. God’s Grace for the Righteous:
God, as a loving Father, watches over the righteous in both joy and trials.
2. God’s Judgment on the Wicked:
The wicked, estranged from God, face His wrath and ultimate destruction, ensnared by their own deeds.
May we all rely on Him always and live a blessed and righteous life.
Conclusion: Live as Witnesses of God’s Goodness
Psalm 34 reminds us that life’s turning points are not luck but God’s grace. Having tasted God’s goodness, let us not remain idle but live as witnesses, drawing others to "taste and see that the Lord is good."
