的。

3 当你掌权的日子(或作行军的日子),你的民要以圣洁的妆饰为衣(或作以圣洁为
妆饰),甘心牺牲自己。你的民多如清晨的甘露(或作你少年时光耀如清晨的甘
露)。
4 耶和华起了誓,决不后悔,说,你是照着麦基洗德的等次,永远为祭司。
5 在你右边的主,当他发怒的日子,必打伤列王。
6 他要在列邦中刑罚恶人,尸首就遍满各处。他要在许多国中打破仇敌的头
7 他要喝路旁的河水,因此必抬起头来。

1 我所赞美的神阿,求你不要闭口不言。
2 因为恶人的嘴,和诡诈人的口,已经张开攻击我。他们用撒谎的舌头对我说话。
3 他们围绕我,说怨恨的话,又无故地攻打我。
4 他们与我为敌以报我爱。但我专心祈祷。
5 他们向我以恶报善,以恨报爱。
6 愿你派一个恶人辖制他,派一个对头站在他右边。
7 他受审判的时候,愿他出来担当罪名。愿他的祈祷反成为罪。
8 愿他的年日短少。愿别人得他的职分。
9 愿他的儿女为孤儿,他的妻子为寡妇。
10 愿他的儿女漂流讨饭,从他们荒凉之处出来求食。
11 愿强暴的债主牢笼他一切所有的。愿外人抢他劳碌得来的。
12 愿无人向他延绵施恩。愿无人可怜他的孤儿。
13 愿他的后人断绝,名字被涂抹,不传于下代。
14 愿他祖宗的罪孽被耶和华记念。愿他母亲的罪过不被涂抹。
15 愿这些罪常在耶和华面前,使他的名号断绝于世。
16 因为他不想施恩,却逼迫困苦穷乏的,和伤心的人,要把他们治死。
17 他爱咒骂,咒骂就临到他。他不喜爱福乐,福乐就与他远离。
18 他拿咒骂当衣服穿上。这咒骂就如水进他里面,像油入他的骨头。
19 愿这咒骂当他遮身的衣服,当他常束的腰带。
20 这就是我对头,和用恶言议论我的人,从耶和华那里所受的报应。
21 主耶和华阿,求你为你的名恩待我。因你的慈爱美好,求你搭救我。
22 因为我困苦穷乏,内心受伤。
23 我如日影渐渐偏斜而去。我如蝗虫被抖出来。
24 我因禁食,膝骨软弱;我身上的肉也渐渐瘦了。
25 我受他们的羞辱。他们看见我,便摇头。
26 耶和华我的神阿,求你帮助我,照你的慈爱拯救我。
27 使他们知道这是你的手,是你耶和华所行的事。
28 任凭他们咒骂。惟愿你赐福。他们几时起来就必蒙羞,你的仆人却要欢喜。
29 愿我的对头,披戴羞辱。愿他们以自己的羞愧为外袍遮身。
30 我要用口极力称谢耶和华。我要在众人中间赞美他。
31 因为他必站在穷乏人的右边,要救他脱离审判他灵魂的人。

Book of Numbers 11
【杜绝抱怨】
28/03/2024
引言：防疫措施
一、抱怨是属灵传染病（v1-15）
抱怨是基督徒属灵生命的杀手之一。它不只不会解决任何问题，从今天v1-15的经文里，更让我们看到，抱怨甚至像传染病一样，会蔓延和引起更多的抱怨。最终将对自己和他人带来更大的破坏。
接着，我们看到抱怨的病毒又继续蔓延，传染给周遭的人。V4他们中间的闲杂人大起贪欲的心，结果以色列百姓就与这些闲杂人一起抱怨。他们完全忘了在埃及受苦为奴的日子。忘了神的恩典，甚至厌弃神所赐的吗哪，把它说得一文不值。
当百姓第2次发怨言，各在各家的帐棚门口哭号时，抱怨的灵也传染到摩西了。 他抱怨管理百姓的担子太重了，甚至求神将他杀了，不叫他看见自己的苦情。
抱怨的灵是会传染的。它带给人的都是负面的影响。轻则使人消沉，生出苦毒、重则惹神愤怒，带来祸患。求神帮助我们，谨守口舌。当我们抱怨时， 就是在埋怨神的带领。 所以它不只是拦阻神的祝福临到我们，还会惹动神的怒气。
二、导致人抱怨的原因（v1-15，32）
1.道路不平顺
以色列人从西奈山出发没有多久就开始抱怨，是因为旅程越来越艰难，道路很不平顺。抱怨让我们看不见神，只看到自己和困难。
其实神常会用困难、不平坦的道路来显露人的肉体，让我们有机会操练致死我们里面的老亚当。所以让我们抓住契机，突破转化生命。
2.贪欲不知足
v4贪欲不是指必需的要求，而是指因自己的贪心所提出的过度的要求。
贪欲通常源自对当前处境和生活步懂得感恩、不知足。他们忘记自己没有耕种也不会饥饿，全是因为神赐下吗哪养活他们。
贪欲的人会找出千万种理由来合理化自己的选择，有时还昧着良心说谎。明明在埃及的日子艰难困苦，每天做苦工，不得温饱。现在却觉得出埃及后的生活不如在埃及为奴的日子。
3.厌烦吃吗哪（v7-9）
从经文的形容，其实吗哪像珍珠，而且有许多烹饪方法。但是人的心很容易喜新厌旧。以色列百姓当时已经吃了将近一年的吗哪，所以厌倦了。当人厌弃神的话语时，生命就会出现问题。这也是为什么百姓的‘心血枯竭了’。不是因为肉体的缺乏，而是灵里的缺乏。
三、神对待抱怨的回应（v16-35）
1.以恩典怜恤摩西（v16-17，21-30）
摩西也抱怨神，甚至求神立即杀了他。神对摩西的回应不但没有责备惩罚他，反而以恩典怜恤他。为他招聚七十个人作百姓的长老和官长，一同分担管理百姓的重担。神为什么恩待摩西？
首先，神能体贴摩西的心情。神非常清楚百姓的悖逆硬颈。就连有丰盛慈爱不轻易发怒的神都能被他们搞到怒气发作，更何况是摩西？此外摩西忠心跟随神，他虽埋怨，不是为了自己的益处。他也没有因为困难就想离弃神，走回头路。
2.以公义管教百姓（v18-20）
神对以色列说会给他们吃肉，并且吃到肉从他们鼻孔里喷出来，并且吃到他们厌烦。是因为他们不但没有感恩神的救赎，还拿祂来与埃及相比，觉得埃及很好，厌弃神。
神把话说到这么白的目的就是希望祂所爱的以色列子民懂得及时认罪悔改。好叫神的审判不必临到他们身上。所以公义的管教背后藏着浓浓的爱与怜悯。
3.死不悔改终灭亡（v31-35）
尽管神显出了恩典，百姓不但没有对神不悦他们厌弃祂的提醒而深深悔改，反而当见到这么多鹌鹑被风刮来，他们竟然变本加厉的大显贪婪的两天就捕取了2200升（十贺梅珥），可以吃一个月分量的鹌鹑。
若人一再藐视神恩典，一再悖逆。公义的审判将会临到。
总结：杜绝抱怨、长大成熟
Numbers 11 Stop complaining and growing into maturity
GK611 Morning Devotion
28 March 2024
The Morning Devotion Speaker: Ps Deborah Tan
Introduction: Measure Protection against epidemic
1. Complaining is a Spiritual Contagion (v1-15)
Complaining is one of the killers of a Christian’s spiritual life. Not only will it not solve any problems, but from today’s verses in v1-15, it shows us that complaining is even like a contagious disease that spreads and causes more complaining. It will ultimately wreak even more havoc on ourselves and others.
Then we see that the virus of complaining goes on to spread and infect the people around them.v4 Now the mixed multitude who were among them yielded to intense craving and as a result the people of Israel joined in the complaining of these idle people. They had completely forgotten the days of suffering and slavery in Egypt. Forgetting God’s grace, they even loathed the manna that God had given them, labeling it as worthless.
When the people complained for the second time, each at the door of his tent, the spirit of complaint reached Moses. He complained that the burden of governing the people was too heavy, and even asked God to kill him so that he would not see his bitterness.
The spirit of complaint is contagious. It brings negative effects on people. It can lead to depression and bitterness, or it can cause God’s anger and bring trouble. Pray that God will help us to guard our mouths. When we complain, we are complaining against God’s leading. So not only does it prevent God’s blessings from coming to us, but it also provokes God’s anger.
2. Causes of people complaining (v1-15, 32)
(1) The road was not smooth
The Israelites didn’t take long to start complaining from Mount Sinai because the journey was getting harder and the road was rough. Complaining blinds us to God and we only see ourselves and our difficulties.
In fact, God often uses difficult and uneven roads to reveal the human flesh and give us the opportunity to exercise the old Adam in us to death. So let us seize the opportunity to break through and transform our lives.
(2) Covetousness and lack of contentment
v4 Covetousness is not the demand of necessity, but the excessive demands of one’s own greed.
Covetousness usually stems from a lack of gratitude and contentment with one’s current situation and life. They forget that they don’t have to plow or starve because God gave them manna to feed them.
Covetous people will find a million reasons to rationalise their choices, sometimes lying to their conscience. Obviously, the days in Egypt were difficult and hard, with daily hard labour and no food or clothing. But now they feel that life after the Exodus is not as good as the days of slavery in Egypt.
(3) Tired of eating manna (v7-9)
From the description of the Scriptures, manna is actually like pearls, and there are many ways to cook it. But it is easy for the human heart to get tired of new things. The people of Israel had been eating manna for almost a year at that time, so they were tired of it. When people get tired of God’s Word, problems arise in their lives. This is why the people’s ‘our whole being is dried up;’. Not because of a lack in the flesh, but a lack in the spirit.
3. God’s Response to Complaints (v16-35)
(1) Mercy to Moses by grace (v16-17, 21-30)
Moses also complained against God and even asked God to kill him immediately. God responded to Moses not only by not rebuking and punishing him, but by being gracious and compassionate to him. He gathered seventy men for him to be elders and rulers of the people and to share the burden of governing the people. Why was God kind to Moses?
First, God was sensitive to Moses’ feelings. God knew very well the disobedience and hardness of the people. Even God, who is rich in love and not easily angered, could be angered by them, let alone Moses. Moreover, Moses was a faithful follower of God, and though he grumbled, it was not for his own benefit. Nor did he want to forsake God and go back on his ways because of difficulties.
(2) Discipline the people with righteousness (v18-20)
God said to Israel that he would give them meat to eat, and that he would eat it until it came out of their nostrils, and until they were sick of it. It was because instead of being thankful for God’s salvation, they compared Him to Egypt, thought Egypt was good, and were sick of God.
God’s purpose in making His Words so plain is that His beloved children of Israel would confess their sins and repent in time. So that God’s judgment would not have to come upon them. Therefore, behind the righteous discipline was a strong sense of love and mercy.
(3) Unrepentant Death (v31-35)
In spite of God’s grace, the people not only did not deeply repent of God’s displeasure with them and their rejection of His reminder, but when they saw so many quails being blown by the wind, they became more and more greedy and in two days they caught 2,200 litres (ten homers), which is a month’s portion of quail to eat.
If a man repeatedly defies the grace of God, and is disobedient again and again, the judgment of righteousness will come.
Conclusion: Stop complaining and growing into maturity
民数记［第十章］
Book of Numbers 10
【兴起前进得神恩！】
27/03/2024
引言：人生不归路····；但我们是走向神的应许之地！
一、号令众营备起行（V1-10）
号角是神的乐器兼武器；吹号的作用有以下几类行动：
1.一般吹响双号召集全会众（V3）
2.单吹一只银号只召集领袖（V4）
3.大声吹号是要东边营起行（V5）
4.再次大声吹号南边营起行（V6）
5.在打仗时也是要大声吹号（V9）
6.在欢庆节期时也是要吹号（V10）
号筒、号角是神的乐器（亚9:14）、是欢庆时的欢呼声、也是争战的武器、特别由祭司的子孙负责：召集、起行、作战、欢庆都是以吹号作为记号！
二、按军列队齐前进（V11-28）
1.神的云彩引道路（V11-13）
“云彩从法柜的帐幕收上去”？这是什么样的一幕情景啊？你看过夕阳、晚霞、彩虹般的色彩、厚厚的云彩所形成的一幕情景吗？这是神荣耀同在的一种象征。而且这云彩显然不是远在天边的那种，而是就在近距离的会幕上空。所谓云彩收上去，可以想象就是快速升空，越来越小，不久就不见了。这就是神明显的指示，起来行动上路了。
2.赞美帐幕行在先（V14-17）
照着先前在第二章已经说过的列队起行，以【赞美】为旗号的犹大率先起行。至圣荣耀的帐幕要拆卸，要扛要抬；可以想象这支以赞美歌颂为首的队伍，做着何等荣耀尊贵的服事。这里让我们联想到神的军队前进的法则，以歌颂赞美为先，既是在信心中先感恩，让神带领必然蒙福。
3.抬着圣物往前行（V18-21）
跟着是南边营寨的军队随行，但是约柜等圣物却是由利未族的子孙所抬。这是分别为圣的物，也由分别为圣的利未人来负责。利未人经营神同在的圣物，大家都要按次序跟随。
对于新约的基督徒而言，我们好像什么都可以做。其实如果在一个大规模的组织里，各尽其专职也是必然的。例如婚丧礼仪、圣餐、洗礼、按手祷告等，必然先由辈份高的圣职人员执行。但是在小群体教会中，信徒们也许都包办了这些服事。
4.紧紧跟随齐前进（V22-28）
神的约柜在中间，其他在西面和北面的队伍也紧紧跟随其后，这就形成一个以神为中心的队伍。人生中的家庭、事业、生意如果都有神在中心，生活所展现出来的面貌必然荣耀。
三、前往应许得好处（V29-33）
神要赐下美好的应许之地，和摩西有亲属关系的小舅子当然也不例外。应许之地有神所预备的好处，怎能不与身边的人分享呢？但人是否愿意受邀而跟随神的法则？这是人的选择啊！
总结：有神的蒙恩之旅（V34-36）
拔营起行有云柱遮阳、约柜同行仇敌四散、约柜停住神也同在。
原来人生的每一步都可以有神引领，这还能不蒙福吗？
Numbers 10 Arise,Advance and receive God’s grace
GK611 Morning Devotion
27 March 2024
The Morning Devotion Speaker: Rev David Tan
Introduction：Life’s road of no return —-; but we are moving toward God’s Promised Land!
1. The trumpet prepares the congregation to rise up and go (V1-10)
The trumpet is God’s musical instrument and weapon; the blowing of the trumpet serves the following types of actions:
(1) Generally blowing a double trumpets to summon the whole congregation (V3)
(2) A single silver trumpet is blown to summon only the leaders (V4)
(3) The loud blowing of the trumpet was to raise the east side of the camp (V5)
(4) Blow the trumpet again to call the southern camps to action (V6)
(5) The trumpet was also blown loudly in times of war (V9)
(6) Blow the trumpet at festivals (V10)
Trumpets and trumpets are God’s instruments (Zech. 9:14), the sound of rejoicing, and weapons of war, especially by the children of the priests: the trumpet is used as a sign of assembling, of starting, of war, and of rejoicing!
2. Marching in formation (V11-28)
(1) God’s cloud leads the way (V11-13)
“The cloud was taken up from above the tabernacle of the Testimony.”? What kind of scene is this? Have you ever seen a scene created by a sunset, an evening sun, a rainbow of colors, and a thick cloud? It is a symbol of God’s glorious presence. And this cloud is obviously not the kind that is far away in the sky, but right over the Tabernacle in the near distance. The so-called cloud closing up, as you can imagine, was rising quickly into the sky, getting smaller and smaller, and soon it was gone. This was God’s obvious instruction to get up and move on the road.
（2) The praise tabernacle goes first (V14-17)
According to what has already been said in chapter 2, Judah, with [praise] as its banner, is the first to rise. The tabernacle of the most holy glory was to be dismantled, carried and lifted up; and one can imagine what a glorious and honourable service this procession, headed by praise and singing, was doing. Here we are reminded of the law of the advance of God’s army, which begins with songs of praise, both in faith and thanksgiving first, and in allowing God to lead the way will certainly be blessed.
(3) Carrying the holy things forward (V18-21)
The army of the southern camp followed, but the Ark of the Covenant and other holy things were carried by the sons of Levi. These were holy things, and they were carried by the Levites, who were set apart. The Levites operated the holy things of God’s presence, and all were to follow in order.
For New Testament Christians, it seems like we can do anything. In fact, if you are in a large-scale organisation, it is inevitable that each one will do his or her own special duty. For example, wedding and funeral liturgy, communion, baptism, laying on of hands, etc., must first be performed by the senior priesthood. However, in small group churches, the believers may do all these services.
(4) Following closely and moving ahead together (V22-28)
With the Ark of the covenant in the middle, and the other processions in the west and north following closely behind, this creates a God-centered procession. If life’s family, career, and business all have God in the centre, the outlook that life presents is bound to be glorious.
3. Going to the promise and receiving good things (V29-33)
God is going to give a wonderful Promised Land, and Moses’ brother-in-law, who was related to him, was certainly no exception. How could the Promised Land not be shared with those around him when there were benefits prepared by God? But is man willing to be invited to follow God’s law? It is man’s choice!
Conclusion: The journey of grace with God (V34-36)
The Ark of the Covenant had pillar of cloud as shading, walked with the enemies scattered, and the Ark of the Covenant stopped and God is with them.
It turns out that every step in life can be guided by God, can this not be blessed?

Book of Psalm 106
23/03/2024
1 你们要赞美耶和华。要称谢耶和华,因他本为善。他的慈爱永远长存。
2 谁能传说耶和华的大能,谁能表明他一切的美德。
3 凡遵守公平,常行公义的,这人便为有福。
4 耶和华阿,你用恩惠待你的百姓,求你也用这恩惠记念我,开你的救恩眷顾我,
5 使我见你选民的福,乐你国民的乐,与你的产业一同夸耀。
6 我们与我们的祖宗一同犯罪。我们作了孽,行了恶。
7 我们的祖宗在埃及不明白你的奇事,不记念你丰盛的慈爱,反倒在红海行了悖逆。
8 然而,他因自己的名拯救他们,为要彰显他的大能。
9 并且斥责红海,海便干了;他带领他们经过深处,如同经过旷野。
10 他拯救他们脱离恨他们人的手,从仇敌手中救赎他们。
11 水淹没他们的敌人,没有一个存留。
12 那时,他们才信了他的话,歌唱赞美他。
13 等不多时,他们就忘了他的作为,不仰望他的指教,
14 反倒在旷野大起欲心,在荒地试探神。
15 他将他们所求的赐给他们,却使他们的心灵软弱。
16 他们又在营中嫉妒摩西,和耶和华的圣者亚伦。
17 地裂开,吞下大坍,掩盖亚比兰一党的人。
18 有火在他们的党中发起,有火焰烧毁了恶人。
19 他们在何烈山造了牛犊,叩拜铸成的像。
20 如此将他们荣耀的主,换为吃草之牛的像。
21 忘了神他们的救主。他曾在埃及行大事。
22 在含地行奇事,在红海行可畏的事。
23 所以,他说要灭绝他们。若非有他所拣选的摩西站在当中(原文作破口),使他的
忿怒转消,恐怕他就灭绝他们。
24 他们又藐视那美地,不信他的话,
25 在自己帐棚内发怨言,不听耶和华的声音。
26 所以,他对他们起誓,必叫他们倒在旷野,
27 叫他们的后裔倒在列国之中,分散在各地。
28 他们又与巴力毗珥连合,且吃了祭死神(或作人)的物。
29 他们这样行,惹耶和华发怒,便有瘟疫流行在他们中间。
30 那时,非尼哈站起,刑罚恶人,瘟疫这才止息。
31 那就算为他的义,世世代代,直到永远。
32 他们在米利巴水又叫耶和华发怒,甚至摩西也受了亏损。
33 是因他们惹动他的灵,摩西(原文作他)用嘴说了急躁的话。
34 他们不照耶和华所吩咐的灭绝外邦人,
35 反与他们混杂相合,学习他们的行为,
36 事奉他们的偶像,这就成了自己的网罗。
37 把自己的儿女祭祀鬼魔,
38 流无辜人的血,就是自己儿女的血,把他们祭祀迦南的偶像,那地就被血污秽了。
39 这样,他们被自己所做的污秽了,在行为上犯了邪淫。
40 所以,耶和华的怒气,向他的百姓发作,憎恶他的产业。
41 将他们交在外邦人的手里;恨他们的人就辖制他们。
42 他们的仇敌也欺压他们,他们就伏在敌人手下。
43 他屡次搭救他们,他们却设谋背逆,因自己的罪孽降为卑下。
44 然而,他听见他们哀告的时候,就眷顾他们的急难。
45 为他们记念他的约,照他丰盛的慈爱后悔。
46 他也使他们在凡掳掠他们的人面前蒙怜恤。
47 耶和华我们的神阿,求你拯救我们,从外邦中招聚我们,我们好称赞你的圣名,以
赞美你为夸胜。
48 耶和华以色列的神是应当称颂的,从亘古直到永远。愿众民都说,阿们。你们要赞
美耶和华。

【谨记神恩典 紧跟神引领】
26/03/2024
一、守逾越节 纪念神救恩（V1-14）
1. 凡神吩咐 都照行了（V1-5）
逾越节是庆祝神施恩拯救祂的百姓脱离埃及人奴役的节日。
以色列人经历了神的救恩，所以都甘心乐意地完全遵照神的吩咐去守逾越节。因为他们亲身经历神的大恩！他们要记念神向他们所施的慈爱和救恩！
我们要谨记神的恩典，不要因为日子久了，以致忙碌地就渐渐失去‘起初爱神的心’，崇拜少参加了、听道分心了、读经懒散了…。我们需不断地数算神的恩典，将自己带回‘起初的爱心’！
2.凡愿意的 都有恩典（V6-14）
从经文中可以看见，以色列人是渴慕要守逾越节，甚至因为接触了死尸的人也提出要守逾越节。神回答允许两种特殊情况的人，在一个月后可以庆祝逾越节，就是：当一个人因为尸体而变得不洁净，以及当一个人外出旅行时。这显明神的恩典，总为我们开一条出路、留一个补救的机会，给人有第二次机会！
神也悦纳愿意参与逾越节的外邦人，只要他们照逾越节的律例典章行。
这代表神的救恩是给所有的人，只要愿意接受救恩就被接纳，但前提是要遵行神的话语。
二、云彩为记 紧跟神引领（V15-23）
云彩是一个标志，是神同在的记号，也是神引领的标志。这段经文也表明，神的指引不是一个抽象的概念，而是看得见的现实。
今天神的云彩又是什么呢？圣经神的话就是我们脚前的灯，路上的光；圣灵我们的保惠师，是心灵的引导者，都是要引导我们到神的荣耀里！所以，我们要进入神丰盛的应许中，必须明白神的话语，愿意接受神的引领，才不会走错路；人会把人带上岔路，我们自己也会偏行己路，但神必使我们走在正道。主耶稣说：我就是道路，真理，生命，若不借着我，没有人能到父那里去。我们要确信，神的引导 必能领我们进入祂的应许！这是信心的功课，我们只要跟上祂就对了！
总结：
今天我们是以圣餐来纪念主的救恩；但是，我们也要在日常中不断数算主的恩典，顺服圣灵的提醒，才能紧紧跟随神的引领！才能进入神的应许！
Numbers 9 Remember God’s Grace and Follow God’s Leading
GK611 Morning Devotion
26 March 2024
The Morning Devotion Speaker: Ps Daniel Kew
1. Observe the Passover to commemorate God’s salvation (V1-14)
(1) Follow Everything that God commanded (V1-5)
Passover is a festival celebrating God’s grace in rescuing His people from Egyptian and from slavery.
The Israelites had experienced God’s salvation, so they all willingly and fully obeyed God’s instructions to keep the Passover. Because they have personally experienced God’s great favour! They must remember God’s love and salvation shown to them!
We must keep God’s grace in mind and not gradually lose our “first love for God” because of our busy schedule as time goes by. We will participate less in worship service, become distracted from listening to sermons, and become lazy in Bible reading…. We need to constantly count God’s grace and bring ourselves back to our “first love”!
(2) For whoever is willing, there is grace (V6-14)
It can be seen from the scriptures that the Israelites were eager to keep the Passover and even those who had come into contact with dead bodies proposed to keep the Passover. God responded by allowing two special circumstances for people to celebrate Passover a month later: when a person became unclean because of a dead body, and when a person travelled. This shows that God’s grace always opens a way out for us, leaves an opportunity for redress, and gives people a second chance!
God also accepts Gentiles who are willing to participate in the Passover, as long as they follow the laws and regulations of the Passover.
This means that God’s salvation is available to everyone, and as long as they are willing to accept salvation, they can be accepted, but the prerequisite is to obey God’s Words.
2. The clouds are a reminder to follow God’s guidance (V15-23)
The cloud is a sign, a sign of God’s presence and a sign of God’s guidance. This passage also shows that God’s guidance is not an abstract concept but a visible reality.
What is God’s cloud today? The Word of God in the Bible is is a lamp to my feet
and a light to my path; the Holy Spirit is our comforter and the guide of the soul, to guide us to the glory of God! Therefore, if we want to enter the abundant promises of God, we must understand God’s Words and be willing to accept God’s guidance, so that we will not go astray. People will lead others astray, and we will also go our way, but God will keep us on the right path. Lord Jesus said: I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one can come to the Father except through me. We must be confident that God’s guidance will lead us to His promises! This is a lesson of faith, we just need to follow Him!
Conclusion：
Today we commemorate the Lord’s salvation with the Holy Communion; however, we must also constantly count the Lord’s grace in our daily lives and obey the reminders of the Holy Spirit so that we can closely follow God’s leading! Only then can we enter into God’s promises!

(大卫的诗歌。)
1 神阿,我心坚定。我口(原文作荣耀)要唱诗歌颂。
2 琴瑟阿,你们当醒起。我自己要极早醒起。
3 耶和华阿,我要在万民中称谢你,在列邦中歌颂你。
4 因为,你的慈爱,大过诸天;你的诚实,达到穹苍。
5 神阿,愿你崇高过于诸天。愿你的荣耀,高过全地。
6 求你应允我们,用右手拯救我们,好叫你所亲爱的人得救。
7 神已经指着他的圣洁说(说或作应许我),我要欢乐。我要分开示剑,丈量疏割
谷。
8 基列是我的。玛拿西是我的。以法莲是护卫我头的。犹大是我的杖。
9 摩押是我的沐浴盆。我要向以东抛鞋。我必因胜非利士呼喊。
10 谁能领我进坚固城。谁能引我到以东地。
11 神阿,你不是丢弃了我们吗?神阿,你不和我们的军兵同去吗?
12 求你帮助我们攻击敌人,因为人的帮助是枉然的。
13 我们倚靠神,才得施展大能,因为践踏我们敌人的就是他。

Book of Psalm 107
24/03/2024
1 你们要称谢耶和华,因他本为善。他的慈爱,永远长存。
2 愿耶和华的赎民说这话,就是他从敌人手中所救赎的,
3 从各地,从东从西,从南从北,所招聚来的。
4 他们在旷野荒地漂流,寻不见可住的城邑。
5 又饥又渴,心里发昏。
6 于是,他们在苦难中哀求耶和华,他从他们的祸患中搭救他们。
7 又领他们行走直路,使他们往可居住的城邑。
8 但愿人因耶和华的慈爱和他向人所行的奇事都称赞他。
9 因他使心里渴慕的人,得以知足,使心里饥饿的人,得饱美物。
10 那些坐在黑暗中死荫里的人,被困苦和铁链捆锁,
11 是因他们违背神的话语,藐视至高者的旨意。
12 所以,他用劳苦治服他们的心。他们仆倒,无人扶助。
13 于是,他们在苦难中哀求耶和华,他从他们的祸患中拯救他们。
14 他从黑暗中,和死荫里,领他们出来,折断他们的绑索。
15 但愿人因耶和华的慈爱,和他向人所行的奇事都称赞他。
16 因为他打破了铜门,砍断了铁闩。
17 愚妄人因自己的过犯,和自己的罪孽便受苦楚。
18 他们心里厌恶各样的食物,就临近死门。
19 于是,他们在苦难中哀求耶和华,他从他们的祸患中拯救他们。
20 他发命医治他们,救他们脱离死亡。
21 但愿人因耶和华的慈爱,和他向人所行的奇事都称赞他。
22 愿他们以感谢为祭献给他,欢呼述说他的作为。
23 在海上坐船,在大水中经理事务的。
24 他们看见耶和华的作为,并他在深水中的奇事。
25 因他一吩咐,狂风就起来,海中的波浪也扬起。
26 他们上到天空,下到海底,他们的心因患难便消化。
27 他们摇摇幌幌。东倒西歪,好像醉酒的人。他们的智慧无法可施。
28 于是,他们在苦难中哀求耶和华,他从他们的祸患中领出他们来。
29 他使狂风止息,波浪就平静。
30 风息浪静,他们便欢喜。他就引他们到所愿去的海口。
31 但愿人因耶和华的慈爱,和他向人所行的奇事都称赞他。
32 愿他们在民的会中尊崇他,在长老的位上赞美他。
33 他使江河变为旷野,叫水泉变为干渴之地。
34 使肥地变为碱地。这都因其间居民的罪恶。
35 他使旷野变为水潭,叫旱地变为水泉。
36 他使饥饿的人住在那里,好建造可住的城邑。
37 又种田地,栽葡萄园,得享所出的土产。
38 他又赐福给他们,叫他们生养众多。也不叫他们的牲畜减少。
39 他们又因暴虐,患难,愁苦,就减少且卑下。
40 他使君王蒙羞被辱,使他们在荒废无路之地漂流。
41 他却将穷乏人安置在高处,脱离苦难,使他的家属多如羊群。
42 正直人看见,就欢喜。罪孽之辈,必塞口无言。
43 凡有智慧的,必在这些事上留心,也必思想耶和华的慈爱。
