引言：

真爱是需要做出选择的，哪怕对方已经不再可爱。唯有在真爱里面，才会不求回报，才会愿意付出，而最终关系才会变得更好。我们所信的神就是这样一位一路爱我们到底的神。

一、神要人单单爱祂靠祂（V1-3）

神要出手审判不仰望祂的犹大国百姓，同时也要审判那帮助犹大国的埃及。这位一路爱到底的神忍着心中的痛对百姓施行审判，为的是让百姓看见，倚靠埃及并不能从属灵界里去解决根本的问题。他们唯有回到耶和华神这位最大的权柄那里才有出路。神要百姓单单爱祂，信靠祂。

二、神亲自保护耶路撒冷（V4-5）

哪怕仇敌（V亚述）要攻陷犹大国首都耶路撒冷的声势再浩大，这位一路爱到底的神也必要为耶路撒冷争战，祂要来亲自出手，保护祂的子民。

三、神给人机会醒悟悔改（V6-7）

因着神对百姓这份一路爱到底的爱，祂总是耐性引导百姓要从悖逆中悔改，最终当神的百姓经历过沉痛的管教后，他们最终就完全离弃了对偶像的崇拜。这个预言在犹大百姓被掳到巴比伦70年后完全得以成就。

四、神亲自为子民除仇敌（V8-9）

神爱祂的百姓到底，不愿百姓一直被仇敌欺压，所以一定会出手审判欺压祂百姓的仇敌。

总结：

神是那位一路爱我们到底的神，祂也要我们如此地来爱祂。当我们别有所爱，别有所靠，忌邪的神就会对我们有所管教，好让我们回到单单爱祂，信靠祂的道路中。神是那么地爱我们，祂是多么不愿意魔鬼仇敌一直地来欺压我们，所以我们要快快地回到对神的爱和信靠里，祂必要兴起为我们争战，好让我们都能够胜过一切的仇敌！阿门！

Isaiah 31: The God Who Keeps His Love On
GK611 Morning Devotion
31/05/2022
Speaker: IP Moses Ou

Introduction:

True love requires making a choice, even if the other person is no longer lovable. Only in true love is it possible to give without expecting anything in return, and in the end the relationship becomes better. The God we believe in is such a God who loves us all the way to the end.

1. God Wants People to Love Him and Rely on Him Alone (V1-3)

God will judge the people of Judah who did not look to Him, and He will also judge Egypt, which helped the nation of Judah. The God who loved all the way to the end, with pain in His heart, judged the people in order to let them see that relying on Egypt could not solve the fundamental problems in the spiritual world. The only way out for them was to return to the greatest authority, the Lord God. God wanted the people to love Him and trust Him alone.

2. God Himself Protects Jerusalem (V4-5)

Even if the enemy (Assyria) were to sack Jerusalem, the capital of the kingdom of Judah, with great force, the God who loves all the way to the end would fight for Jerusalem, and He would come to protect His people in person.

3. God Gives People the Opportunity to Wake Up and Repent (V6-7)

Because of God’s love for the people all the way to the end, He always patiently guided them to repent from their disobedience, and eventually, when God’s people experienced the painful discipline, they finally turned away from idolatry completely. This prophecy was completely fulfilled 70 years after the captivity of the people of Judah to Babylon.

4. God Himself Removes Enemies for His People (V8-9)

God loves His people to the end and does not want them to be oppressed by their enemies all the time, so He will definitely take action to judge the enemies who oppress His people.

Conclusion:

God is the God who loves us all the way to the end, and He wants us to love Him that way. When we have something else to love, something else to rely on, the jealous God will discipline us so that we can return to the way of loving and trusting Him alone. God loves us so much, and He does not want the devil and the enemy to oppress us all the time, so let us quickly return to our love and trust in God, and He will rise up to fight for us, so that we can all overcome the enemy! Amen!
