05/08/2022
前言：
神知道祂的子民在等候神的过程，心会有起落的。所以，神又呼吁祂的子民，当聆听祂安慰的应许，作为在黑暗中唯一的亮光。
一、神应许要更新锡安（V1-3）
神要子民借着追想昔日神的恩典，神的作为，让他们得安慰，对神产生信心，相信信实的神必会照着应许，安慰锡安，更新锡安。神要带领他们归回到已经更新的锡安！到时其中必有欢喜、快乐、感谢和歌唱的声音，来见证神的安慰和赐福！
二、神的公义救恩永存（V4-8）
在这段经文，神应许施行拯救。神的公义和救恩临近了，呼吁神的子民要等候祂，依赖祂的膀臂。神的安慰是给那些知道神的公义，并将神的训诲存在心中的人。他们也不再怯惧别人的辱骂或毁谤因为苦待他们的必受神的审判。一切所受的辱骂或毁谤将成过去，惟有神的公义与救恩永远长存！
三、神用手影遮蔽子民（V9-16）
被掳的百姓，在危机中向神的呼求。于是，神回应百姓的祈求：惟有我，是安慰你们的。神应许V16用我的手影遮蔽你，为要栽定诸天，立定地基。神要保护、扶持祂的子民，为他们造新天新地。要他们不必怕那必死的人，而是应该敬畏神。
四、神忿怒的杯将挪移（V17-23）
神的子民因罪被神惩罚，被交到列邦中被管教，他们受苦是喝了耶和华忿怒的杯，使他们东倒西歪。但神现在宣告要把这忿怒的杯接走，挪移在那些苦待他们的巴比伦人。
神以转移苦难来安慰祂的子民，为他的子民辨屈！
总结：
聆听神安慰的话语，捉住神的应许，在神安慰的应许中，看到神的公义和救恩永远长存。
Isaiah 51: Listening to God’s Comforting Promises
GK611 Morning Devotion
5/8/2022
Speaker: Ps Daniel + Rev David Tan
Introduction:
God knows that the hearts of His people will have ups and downs as they wait on God. Therefore, God again calls His people to listen to His promise of comfort as the only light in the darkness.
1. God promises to renew Zion (V1-3)
God wanted the people to be comforted by recalling the grace of God in the past and the works of God, so that they would have faith in God and believe that the faithful God would comfort and renew Zion according to the promise. God will lead them back to the renewed Zion! Then there will be joy, gladness, thanksgiving, and singing among them to testify to the comfort and blessing of God!
2. God's righteous salvation endures forever (V4-8)
In this passage, God promises to perform salvation. God's righteousness and salvation are near, and God's people are called to wait on Him and rely on His arms. God's comfort is for those who know God's righteousness and keep His teachings in their hearts. They also no longer fear the insults or slander of others, for those who treat them harshly will be judged by God. All insults or slanders will be in the past, but the righteousness and salvation of God will endure forever!
3.God covers the people with the shadow of His hand (V9-16)
The cry of the captive people to God in the midst of the crisis. Then God answered the people's prayer: "I, even I, am He who comforts you. God promises V16 to cover you with the shadow of My hand, in order to plant the heavens and establish the foundations of the earth. God will protect and support His people, and make for them a new heaven and a new earth. That they should not fear the man who will die, but should fear God.
4. The cup of God's wrath will be removed (V17-23)
The people of God were punished by God for their sins, and were delivered to the nations to be disciplined. They suffered by drinking from the cup of the wrath of the Lord, which caused them to fall from side to side. But God now declares that He will take up this cup of wrath and transfer it to the Babylonians, who are making them suffered.
God comforts His people by transferring the affliction, and pleads for His people!
Conclusion:
Listen to God's comforting words, catch God's promises, and see in God's comforting promises that His righteousness and salvation endure forever.
