耶利米书 第二十一章 |Book of Jeremiah 21

【生死岔路口的选择】

主讲: 丘均发传道 24/09/2024

一、神非任人使唤的偶像（V1-7）

西底家王在耶路撒冷被巴比伦围困时，派人去找耶利米求问神，期望神通过耶利米再行神迹，像以前那样帮助他们打败敌人。神的回应却是极其严厉：神不会再像过去那样拯救他们，反而是要将他们交给巴比伦人的手，耶路撒冷必被攻陷；因为，西底家和百姓没有真正的悔改，他们忽视神对他们的警告和要求，忘记了神并不是任人使唤的偶像。

我们在生活中，是否也像以色列人一样，只有在遇到麻烦时才想起神？我们是否也曾对神说：神啊，帮我度过这次难关，我以后一定好好跟随你。一旦问题过去，又继续自己的生活，忘记神？真正的信仰不是临时的求助站，而是日常的与神同行！

二、走向生命或奔向死亡（V8-10）

神通过耶利米向百姓清楚地说明：现在摆在他们面前有两条路，一条是通往生命的路，一条是通向死亡的路。选择投降巴比伦人的将存活，而选择留在城里抵抗的，必然遭遇死亡。这不是因为神不爱他们，而是因为他们长久的悖逆带来的后果。神依然在审判中展现祂的怜悯，给了他们生存的机会。

我们常常认为自己的选择比神的安排更好，但神的智慧远超过我们。祂知道哪条路是通向生命的，即便看似不合常理。我们是否愿意相信神的智慧，顺服祂的引导，选择那条虽然艰难，但最终带来生命的路呢？

三、神才是真正的避难所（V11-14）

神呼吁犹大王家施行公义，保护那些被压迫的人，否则祂的烈火将焚烧他们。即使在耶路撒冷城墙之内，也无法逃脱神的审判。神的审判不仅是针对外敌的威胁，更是针对他们内部的败坏和不公正。

我们是否也常把安全感放在错误的地方？工作、金钱、名誉、甚至是人际关系，可能会让我们暂时感到稳固，但唯有神才是我们真正的避难所。我们必须把生命的根基建在祂身上，才能面对风暴。

总结：生死之择，在乎顺服神！

今天，我们每个人都站在‘生死之择’的岔路口；你是否愿意选择顺服神，认罪悔改？无论我们现在面对多大的困难，只要我们走在神的道路上，祂总会为我们预备一条‘生路’！

Jeremiah 21 The choice between life and death
GK611 Morning Devotion
24/09/2024
The Morning Devotion Speaker: Ps. Daniel

1. God is not an idol that can be manipulated by others (V1-7)

When King Zedekiah was besieged by Babylon in Jerusalem, he sent people to Jeremiah to consult God, hoping that God would perform another miracle through Jeremiah and help them defeat the enemy as before. God’s response was extremely severe: God would no longer save them as He had done in the past but would hand them over to the hands of the Babylonians, and Jerusalem would be captured; because Zedekiah and the people did not truly repent, and they ignored God. Their warnings and demands forget that God is not an idol to be manipulated by others.

In our lives, are we like the Israelites, who only think of God when we encounter trouble? Have we ever said to God: God, help me get through this difficulty, and I will follow you well in the future. Once the problem is over, go on with your life and forget about God? True faith is not a temporary help station, but a daily walk with God!

2. Heading towards life or towards death (V8-10)

God made it clear to the people through Jeremiah: Now there were two roads before them, one was the way to life, and the other was the way to death. Those who choose to surrender to the Babylonians will survive, while those who choose to stay in the city and resist will surely meet death. This is not because God does not love them, but because of the consequences of their continuing disobedience. God still showed His mercy in judgment and gave them a chance to survive.

We often think our choices are better than God’s arrangements, but God is far wiser than we are. He knows which way leads to life, even if it seems counterintuitive. Are we willing to trust God’s wisdom, obey His guidance, and choose the path that, although difficult, ultimately brings life?

3. God is the real refuge (V11-14)

God calls upon the royal house of Judah to exercise justice and protect those who are oppressed, otherwise His consuming fire will consume them. Even within the walls of Jerusalem, there was no escape from God’s judgment. God’s judgment is not only against the threats of external enemies, but also against their internal corruption and injustice.

Do we too often place our sense of security in the wrong place? Jobs, money, fame, and even relationships may make us feel secure temporarily, but God alone is our true refuge. We must build the foundation of our lives on Him before we can face the storm.

Conclusion: The choice between life and death depends on obeying God!

Today, each of us stands at a cross-junction in the road of ‘choice between life and death’; are you willing to choose to obey God, confess your sins and repent? No matter what difficulties we face now, as long as we walk on God’s path, He will always prepare a ‘way of life’ for us!

耶利米书 第二十章 |Book of Jeremiah 20

【凡事真实对准神】

主讲: 郑伟健实习传道 20/09/2024

引言：你是超人吗？

一、神的仆人也会面对逼迫

1.遭遇攻击，但不屈膝（V1-2）

耶利米在殿中传讲神的话语，却遭到祭司巴施户珥的迫害，甚至被打并下在监里。他的逼迫不仅来自外在的敌对势力，更来自本应事奉神的祭司。巴施户珥背离了他的职责，用枷锁捆住耶利米，让他屈身一整天。

今天的我们也会遇到魔鬼的攻击，试图让我们屈膝，不再挺立事奉神。但在这样的时刻，神的力量使我们得着释放。我们是否能像耶利米一样，选择不屈膝，而是对准神，信靠祂的救恩？

2.面对逼迫，勇敢回应（V3-6）

虽然耶利米受尽苦楚，但他依然勇敢地宣告神对巴施户珥的审判，将他的名字改为‘四面惊吓’。巴施户珥原本象征‘自由与尊贵’，但因其不忠，变成了恐惧的象征。当世界逼迫我们时，我们是否妥协，还是像耶利米一样，坚持神的真理？勇敢回应，并坚守信仰，是对准神的表现。神必掌权，我们可以因信心而站立得住。

二、心灵的挣扎，勇敢倾诉但不放弃

1.虽然被嘲笑，仍忠于神的托付（V7-10）

耶利米感到自己被神欺骗，因为他忠心传道却遭遇巨大的痛苦和嘲笑。即便如此，他心中的异象和火焰让他无法沉默，依然宣讲神的话语。服事神往往伴随着代价，当受伤时，我们的第一个反应可能是放弃。但耶利米选择向神倾诉自己的怒气，而不是背离托付。这是他与神之间深刻的关系，是信靠的表现。我们也可以在痛苦中坦然无惧地向神倾诉，祂必听我们的心声。

2.虽然被离弃，但相信神的同在（V11-13）

这段经文提到逼迫耶利米的就是他身边的同胞、家人和朋友。面对他们的离弃是耶利米心灵上最大的打击，然而，即便在重重的拒绝与孤独中，他依然相信神与他同在，且神会为他争战。今天我们或许会因面对世界的嘲讽或排斥感到孤立无助。但只要忠于神的真理，神必站在我们这一边，成为我们坚固的盾牌。祂的同在是我们信心的根基。

3.虽然很痛苦，向神诉苦不绝望（V14-18）

耶利米在生命的谷底向神倾诉，甚至开始咒诅自己的出生，这似乎是绝望的表现。但圣经记录下这一切，表明神容许我们向祂表达最真实的情感。即使环境没有立即改变，我们也不必压抑自己，可以尽情向神诉说一切。对神的依赖和倾诉正是我们在低谷中的救赎。

总结：不要做超人，做真实的人

神并不要求我们永远坚强、毫无破绽。祂要的是我们向祂坦诚，而非伪装的完美。真正的自由在于将一切都交托给神，依靠祂的力量走过每一个软弱的时刻。每一次的软弱，都是神彰显大能的机会。

Jeremiah Chapter 20: “All Things is True Align to God”
GK611 Morning Devotion
20/09/2024
The Morning Devotion Speaker: IP Asher

Introduction: Are you a Superman?

1. God’s servants will also face persecution

(1) Under attack, but do not bow our knees (V1-2)

Jeremiah preached the word of God in the temple, but he was persecuted by the priest Pashhur and was even beaten and imprisoned. His persecution came not only from external hostile forces, but also from the priests who were supposed to serve God. Pashhur turned away from his duty and bound Jeremiah in chains, keeping him in bondage for a whole day.

Today we will also encounter attacks from the devil, trying to make us bow down and stop standing up to serve God. But in moments like these, God’s power sets us free. Can we, like Jeremiah, choose not to bow our knees, but to turn our attention to God and trust in His salvation?

(2) Respond bravely in the face of persecution (V3-6)

Although Jeremiah suffered greatly, he still bravely declared God’s judgment against Pashehur and changed his name to “Terror on every side.” Pashhur was originally a symbol of “freedom and honour”, but due to its disloyalty, it became a symbol of fear. When the world presses us, do we compromise, or do we, like Jeremiah, stand for God’s truth? Responding bravely and sticking to our faith is a sign of alignment with God. God is in control, and we can stand firm by faith.

2. Spiritual struggle, speak bravely but never give up

1) Although ridiculed, still loyal to God’s commission (V7-10)

Jeremiah felt that he had been deceived by God because his faithful preaching was met with great pain and ridicule. Even so, the vision and fire in his heart prevented him from being silent and he still preached the word of God. Serving God often comes with a price, and when hurt, our first reaction may be to give up. But Jeremiah chose to express his anger to God rather than turn away from his trust. This is a deep relationship between him and God, an expression of trust. We can also speak to God fearlessly in pain, and He will listen to our hearts.

(2) Although abandoned, believe in God’s presence (V11-13)

This passage mentions that those who persecuted Jeremiah were his compatriots, family, and friends. Facing their abandonment was the biggest blow to Jeremiah’s soul. However, even in the midst of heavy rejection and loneliness, he still believed that God was with him and that God would fight for him. Today we may feel isolated and helpless in the face of ridicule or rejection from the world. But as long as we are loyal to God’s truth, God will be on our side and become our strong shield. His presence is the foundation of our faith.

(3) Although it is painful, complain to God without despair (V14-18)

At the bottom of his life, Jeremiah poured out his heart to God and even began to curse his own birth. This seemed to be a sign of despair. But the Bible records all of this to show that God allows us to express our truest emotions to Him. Even if circumstances do not change immediately, we do not have to suppress ourselves and can tell God everything we want. Relying on and talking to God is our salvation in the low points.

Conclusion: Don’t be a superman, be a real person

God does not require us to be strong and flawless forever. He wants us to be honest with Him, not pretend to be perfect. True freedom lies in surrendering everything to God and relying on His strength to walk through every moment of weakness. Every weakness is an opportunity for God to show his power.

耶利米书 第十九章 |Book of Jeremiah 19

【不做被打碎的瓦瓶】

主讲: 陈惠菁传道 19/09/2024

一、珍惜神的警戒（V1-5）

神指示耶利米去买窑匠的瓦瓶，带领长老和祭司走到欣嫩子谷的陶匠门口向他们宣告神的审判。这是作为他们行神所憎恶的事，将要面对毁灭的警告。

当圣灵提醒我们要悔改的地方，让我们珍惜神的每一个警戒。

二、选择不被审判（V6-9）

当我们的计划中没有神的参与，或所谋的不是合神的心意，神是会使我们的计谋落空。此外，经文显明以色列百姓在哪里离弃神，神的管教就要在哪里审判他们。

当我们让别的人事物放在超越神的位置时，神通常也必让我们在那些人、事、物上经历挫败。所以，我们要警醒，赶快回转来到神的面前，让祂拔出、拆毁、毁坏我们生命中的偶像。让我们敬畏神，免受像瓦瓶被打碎那样的被神审判。

三、成为贵重器皿（ V10-15）

1. 离卑贱不作碎瓦瓶（V10-11a）

原本神的心意是让以色列成为贵重的器皿，成为外邦人的光，神的见证。 然而，他们却硬着颈项，死不悔改。神吩咐耶利米在百姓和祭司中的长老面前，以打碎瓦瓶来象征神将要打碎这个悖逆的民族。连耶路撒冷也将成为荒凉之地，没有人能修复，也不能再囫囵。一个卑贱无用的器皿所面临的只有被打碎的命运。

弟兄姐妹，我们都是神拣选作祂尊贵的器皿。求神让我们脱离卑贱，在犹太新年前这15天禁食祷告中，透过生命读经，默想神的话语和认罪悔改，来预备好自己成为神手中的贵重的器皿。

2.快悔改不进入永死（V11b-13）

在今天15节经文里，陀斐特就出现了5次。在某些预言和启示文学中，陀斐特预表了将来最终审判时，罪恶和悖逆的人遭毁灭和惩罚的永恒去处，也就是地狱火湖。

基督徒本来就不需面对地狱火湖这样的结局。所以，当有人指正我们的生命，对我们说重话的时，不要讨厌他。当讲台分享审判悔改的信息时，不要把耳朵塞住。当意识到生命有不对的地方，就快快悔改归正。随时预备好自己能坦然无惧迎接主的再来。

3.顺服神作贵重器皿（V14-15）

经文再次提到，百姓会被像瓦瓶那样打碎，是因他们硬着颈项不听神的话。让我们引以为鉴，除了有悔改的生命，更是要顺服神的旨意，听从祂的指引，成为被祂使用的贵重器皿。

总结：

●拥有悔改与顺服神的生命，不成为被打碎的瓦瓶。
●竭力追求与神更亲密的连接，更新成为神贵重的器皿，活出荣耀神的生命。

Jeremiah 19: Don’t Become a Shattered Pot
GK611 Morning Devotion
19/09/2024
The Morning Devotion Speaker: Ps Deborah

1.Cherishing God’s Warnings (V1-5)

God instructed Jeremiah to buy a potter’s jar and lead the elders and priests to the gate of the Valley of Hinnom to proclaim God’s judgment. This served as a warning of destruction for committing acts detested by God.

When the Holy Spirit reminds us to repent, let us cherish every warning from God.

2.Choosing to Avoid Judgment (V6-9)

When God is absent from our plans, or our schemes are not aligned with His will, He will cause them to fail. The scripture shows that where the Israelites abandoned God, He would judge them in those very places.

When we place other people, things, or matters above God, He often allows us to experience failure in those areas. Therefore, we must stay vigilant, quickly return to God, and allow Him to uproot, tear down, and destroy the idols in our lives. Let us fear God and avoid the judgment of being shattered like a pot.

3. Becoming a Valuable Vessel (V10-15)

a. Away from Lowliness and Avoiding Being a Shattered Pot (V10-11a)

God’s original intent was for Israel to be a valuable vessel, a light to the Gentiles, and a witness for Him. However, they were stiff-necked and refused to repent. God commanded Jeremiah to smash the pot in front of the people and the elders, symbolizing how God would smash this rebellious nation. Even Jerusalem would become desolate, beyond repair or becoming whole again. The only fate of a worthless vessel is to be smashed.

Brothers and sisters, we are all chosen by God to be His valuable vessels. May God help us break away from lowliness. During these 15 days of fasting and prayer before the Jewish New Year, let us prepare ourselves to be valuable vessels in God’s hands through Bible study, meditating on His word, and confessing our sins.

b.Repent Quickly to Avoid Eternal Death (V11b-13)

In today’s 15 verses, “Topheth” is mentioned five times. In certain prophecies and apocalyptic literature, Topheth symbolizes, in the Last Judgement, the eternal destination of destruction and punishment for sinful and rebellious people. It is also known as the lake of fire in hell.

Christians do not have to face the lake of fire as the final destination. So, when someone points out areas in our life that need correction, even if it’s harsh, don’t resent them. When the pulpit shares messages about judgment and repentance, don’t block your ears. When you realize there’s something wrong in your life, repent and turn back quickly. Always be prepared to meet the Lord without fear.

c. Obeying God to Become a Valuable Vessel (V14-15)

The scripture mentions again that the people will be smashed like a pot because of their stubborn refusal to listen to God’s words. Let us take this as a lesson. Beyond living a repentant life, we must also obey God’s will, follow His guidance, and become valuable vessels used by Him.

Conclusion:

•Live a life of repentance and obedience to God, and avoid becoming a smashed pot.
•Strive to pursue a closer relationship with God, be renewed to become His valuable vessel, and live a life that glorifies Him.

耶利米书 第十八章 |Book of Jeremiah 18

【重塑生命的呼召】

主讲: 林国晶传道 18/09/2024

引言：

神用陶匠与泥土的比喻，带出神是陶匠，而我们是祂手中的泥土。即便我们在人生的某个阶段如泥土般破裂，神依然有能力重新塑造我们。

一、承认神的主权（v1-6）

神通过「窑匠弄泥」的比喻，彰显了祂对我们生命的主权。当器皿损坏，陶匠愿意重新塑造，代表神愿意因悔改而重新塑造我们的人生。我们是否愿意谦卑地接受神的塑造，承认祂的主权，顺服祂的旨意。

二、抓住机会回转（v7-10）

悖逆将带来毁灭，悔改则能带来新的希望。神通过这段经文，告诉我们祂并不是急于施行审判的神，祂愿意给每一个悔改的机会。当我们走在错误的道路上时，我们要愿意听从神的警告并悔改。

三、定意离开罪恶（v11-12）

神提醒他们，顽梗的后果是自我毁灭。然而，以色列民顽固拒绝神的呼召，执意行恶。这样的顽固不听，最终将导致他们远离了神的恩典和祝福。因此，我们要定意离开罪恶。

四、弃绝顽固背弃（v13-17）

以色列民的极大背叛，导致神的审判。神在这里警告以色列民，他们顽固背弃神的后果将是被分散，像东风吹散一样。神将不再以慈爱的面面对他们，而是以背对他们，这表明了祂对背逆行为的愤怒。我们要常常反省我们的生活中是否有顽固背弃神的地方。

五、弃绝蒙蔽无知（v18-23）

以色列民不仅拒绝神的警告，还策划陷害耶利米。这显示出罪恶达到极点时，人心的蒙蔽会变得何等可怕。耶利米最终请求神的公义临到。因此，我们要避免陷入自我蒙蔽和毁灭的陷阱。

总结：

神是陶匠，祂对我们的生命有主权，但祂也满有怜悯，愿意重新塑造悔改的人。因此，我们应谦卑顺服在神的塑造中，成为祂手中合用的器皿，走向祂为我们预备的荣耀命定。

Jeremiah 18: The Call to Reshape Life
GK611 Morning Devotion
18/09/2024
The Morning Devotion Speaker: Ps. Stella

Introduction:

God uses the analogy of a potter and clay to illustrate that He is the potter, and we are the clay in His hands. Even if we become broken like clay at some point in life, God still has the power to reshape us.

1.Acknowledging God’s Sovereignty (v1-6)

Through the analogy of the potter working with clay, God demonstrates His sovereignty over our lives. When a vessel is broken, the potter is willing to reshape it, symbolizing God’s willingness to reshape our lives if we repent. Are we humble enough to accept God’s shaping, acknowledge His sovereignty, and submit to His will?

2.Seizing the Opportunity to Turn Back (v7-10)

Rebellion leads to destruction, while repentance brings new hope. In this passage, God reveals that He is not eager to execute judgment, but instead offers everyone a chance to repent. When we walk in the wrong path, we must be willing to heed God’s warning and repent.

3.Resolving to Leave Sin Behind (v11-12)

God warns that the consequence of stubbornness is self-destruction. However, the people of Israel stubbornly rejected God’s call and continued in their evil ways. Their stubbornness eventually distanced them from God’s grace and blessings. Therefore, we must resolve to leave sin behind.

4.Rejecting Stubborn Rebellion (v13-17)

The people of Israel’s great betrayal led to God’s judgment. Here, God warns Israel that their stubborn rebellion will result in them being scattered like the wind. God will no longer turn His loving face toward them but will instead turn His back, signifying His anger at their rebellion. We must constantly reflect on whether we have areas of stubborn rebellion against God in our lives.

5.Rejecting Blind Ignorance (v18-23)

The people of Israel not only ignored God’s warnings but also plotted to harm Jeremiah. This shows, at its peak, how horrible can sin become. Ultimately, Jeremiah calls for God’s justice to prevail. Therefore, we must avoid falling into the trap of self-deception and destruction.

Conclusion:

God is the potter, and He has sovereignty over our lives. However, He is also full of mercy and is willing to reshape those who repent. Therefore, we should humbly submit to God’s shaping, becoming vessels fit for His use, and walk toward the glorious destiny He has prepared for us.

耶利米书 第十七章 |Book of Jeremiah 17

【两种对比人生的未来】

主讲: 丘均发传道 17/09/2024

一、两种人生的明确写照（V1-18）

1. 两种倚靠（V1-8）

神在这里生动地描述了百姓罪恶的深度，仿佛用铁笔和金刚钻将其刻在他们的心里。这说明，百姓的罪恶已经根深蒂固，已经成为了他们的天性！神就借着耶利米讲了两个比喻，告诉百姓：倚靠人的，像沙漠中的植物，缺水枯萎，那人有祸了；倚靠神的，那人有福了，像栽于河边的树，即便干旱也不惧怕，生命仍然结果不止，

我们生活中是否常常依赖自己的人脉、金钱或能力？神提醒我们，只有祂能给予永不枯竭的供应。唯有倚靠神，能使我们在干旱中仍然茂盛。

2. 两种心态（V9-11）

人心诡诈，天生有罪性很难自省；而接受神鉴察的心，能在神的光照下，使人从诡诈中得到医治。

我们常常自以为正直，但神能透彻了解我们内心的动机，我们需要祂的鉴察与引领，才能辨明对错，不偏离正道误入歧途。

3. 两种选择（V12-16）

选择离弃神的最终会人生的风暴中，陷入羞耻之中；而选择呼求神的，则会在神的宝座前找到医治和拯救。

当面对挑战和试炼时，我们要选择迅速转向神，唯有选择呼求神，内心能够平静安稳，永不蒙羞。

4. 两种结局（V17-18）

倚靠神的人，在灾祸的日子会经历神的保护不惊恐，最终必在神的恩典中走向丰盛与荣耀的未来；拒绝神的人，最终遭受神毁坏他们，走向毁灭的终点！

最后的结局取决于我们今天的选择：倚靠神的，最终得享丰盛的生命和荣耀的未来；依靠人的，最终在蒙羞与毁坏中结束。愿我们时刻都选择依靠神，得到永恒的应许。

二、具体信靠神-谨守安息日（V19-27）

1. 重申安息日的诫命（V19-22）

神命令百姓以安息日为圣日，在安息日停止一切工作和交易。守安息日不做工，是信靠神供应的具体行动和表现。

2. 谨守安息日的祝福（V24-26）

遵守安息日不仅是命令，背后有祝福。顺服神的安排，祂必赐福全地，带来丰盛的平安与繁荣。

3. 违背安息日的遭祸（V27）

如果百姓违背不守安息日，代表着他们拒绝倚靠神，神的审判会临到，整个城都会遭受毁灭。

守安息日不仅是遵守一条律法，不是单纯的休息日，而是表达对神完全的信靠，在忙碌中提醒自己，真正的源头在神！愿我们不仅在行动上守安息日，心灵上也真正倚靠神，相信祂是掌管一切的神！

总结：

今天，我们见证了依靠人和依靠神的人生结局是截然不同的。让我们不要为了追求世界的东西而失去神的祝福。在我们生活的每个决定和行动中，都要将神放在首位。选择信靠神的人生，将会获得神永恒的恩典和应许！

Jeremiah 17 Futures of Two Contrasting Life
GK611 Morning Devotion
17/09/2024
The Morning Devotion Speaker: Ps. Daniel

1. A clear portrayal of two lives (V1-18)

(1) Two kinds of reliance (V1-8)

Here God vividly describes the depth of the people’s sin, as if engraved with metal stylus and diamond on their hearts. This shows that the sins of the people are deeply ingrained and have become their nature! God told the people two parables through Jeremiah: He who relies on man is like a plant in the desert, which withers due to lack of water. Woe to that person. Blessed is the person who relies on God, like a plant planted by the river. A tree is not afraid of drought, and its life continues to bear fruit.

How often do we rely on our connections, money, or abilities in life? God reminds us that He alone can provide an everlasting supply. Only relying on God can enable us to thrive in drought.

(2) Two mentality (V9-11)

The human heart is deceitful, and it is difficult to examine one’s self because of the inherent sinfulness; but a heart that accepts God’s observation can enable people to be healed from deceitfulness under God’s illumination.

We often think we are upright, but God can thoroughly understand our inner motives. We need His observation and guidance in order to distinguish right from wrong and not deviate from the right path and go astray.

(3) Two options (V12-16)

Those who choose to abandon God will eventually fall into shame in the storms of life; while those who choose to call on God will find healing and salvation before the throne of God.

When facing challenges and trials, we must choose to quickly turn to God. Only by choosing to call on God can our hearts be calm and stable, and we will never be shamed.

(4) Two endings (V17-18)

Those who rely on God will experience God’s protection and no fear in the days of calamity and will eventually move toward a future of abundance and glory in God’s grace; those who reject God will eventually suffer God’s destruction of them, leading to the end of destruction!

The final outcome depends on our choices today: those who rely on God will ultimately enjoy abundant life and a glorious future; those who rely on humans will ultimately end in humiliation and destruction. May we always choose to rely on God and receive eternal promises.

2. Definite trust in God – observe the Sabbath (V19-27)

(1) Reaffirm the Sabbath commandment (V19-22)

God commanded the people to keep the Sabbath holy and stop all work and transactions on the Sabbath. Keeping the Sabbath and not working is a definite action and expression of trusting God’s provision.

(2) The blessing of observing the Sabbath (V24-26)

Keeping the Sabbath is not just a command, it has a blessing behind it. Obey God’s arrangements, and He will bless the whole earth and bring abundant peace and prosperity.

(3) Disasters for breaking the Sabbath (V27)

If the people disobey the Sabbath, it means they refuse to rely on God. God’s judgment will come, and the entire city will be destroyed.

Observing the Sabbath is not only observing a law, nor is it simply a day of rest, but it is an expression of complete trust in God and reminds oneself in the midst of busyness that the real source is in God! May we not only keep the Sabbath in action, but also truly rely on God in our hearts and believe that He is the God in charge of everything!

Conclusion：

Today, we have witnessed that the outcome of life is completely different between those who rely on man and those who rely on God. Let us not lose God’s blessings by pursuing the things of the world. Put God first in every decision and action in our lives. If you choose to trust God in your life, you will receive God’s eternal grace and promises!

箴言第 27 章

1 不要为明日自夸,因为一日要生何事,你尚且不能知道。
2 要别人夸奖你,不可用口自夸。等外人称赞你,不可用嘴自称。
3 石头重,沙土沉,愚妄人的恼怒,比这两样更重。
4 忿怒为残忍,怒气为狂澜,惟有嫉妒,谁能敌得住呢?
5 当面的责备,强如背地的爱情。
6 朋友加的伤痕,出于忠诚,仇敌连连亲嘴,却是多余。
7 人吃饱了,厌恶蜂房的蜜。人饥饿了,一切苦物都觉甘甜。
8 人离本处飘流,好像雀鸟离窝游飞。
9 膏油与香料,使人心喜悦。朋友诚实的劝教,也是如此甘美。
10 你的朋友,和父亲的朋友,你都不可离弃。你遭难的日子,不要上弟兄的家去。相近的邻舍,强如远方的弟兄。
11 我儿,你要作智慧人,好叫我的心欢喜,使我可以回答那讥诮我的人。
12 通达人见祸藏躲。愚蒙人前往受害。
13 谁为生人作保,就拿谁的衣服。谁为外女作保,谁就承当。
14 清晨起来,大声给朋友祝福的,就算是咒诅他。
15 大雨之日连连滴漏,和争吵的妇人一样。
16 想拦阻她的,便是拦阻风,也是右手抓油。
17 铁磨铁,磨出刃来。朋友相感,(原文作磨朋友的脸)也是如此。
18 看守无花果树的,必吃树上的果子。敬奉主人的,必得尊荣。
19 水中照脸,彼此相符。人与人,心也相对。
20 阴间和灭亡,永不满足。人的眼目,也是如此。
21 鼎为炼银,炉为炼金,人的称赞也试炼人。
22 你虽用杵,将愚妄人与打碎的麦子一同捣在臼中,他的愚妄还是离不了他。
23 你要详细知道你羊群的景况。留心料理你的牛群。
24 因为资财不能永有。冠冕岂能存到万代。
25 干草割去,嫩草发现,山上的菜蔬,也被收敛。

26 羊羔之毛,是为你作衣服。山羊是为作田地的价值。
27 并有母山羊奶够你吃,也够你的家眷吃,且够养你的婢女。
