30/01/2024
一、从前蒙福 因有神保守（伯29）
1.神做我良朋密友（V1-4）
约伯首先想到的是神与他之间的亲密关系。因为约伯知道过去的蒙福，都是因为有神的保守。
2.家庭幸福又兴旺（V5-6）
约伯儿女围绕绕膝，经济富裕，因为有神的同在。
3.德高望重受尊敬（V7-11）
那时所有的人都静默地听约伯说话，并非因为害怕约伯，而是尊敬有智慧的约伯。
4.成为他人的祝福（V12-25）
约伯乐善好施，关爱孤儿寡妇，主持公道，他的话语鼓励安慰人，成为他人的祝福。
小结:
约伯的回顾是一篇感恩清单，他知道一切蒙福的原因，就是有神同在！蒙神保守！所以，我们要记得一生中所有的蒙福都是来自神，如此我们才能够警醒并感恩神时刻的同在与保守！
二、今非昔比 因神有美意（伯30）
1.成为公众的羞辱（V1-15）
约伯感叹自己曾经备受众人的尊敬，如今却变成为了被公众羞辱和拒绝的人。
2.遭受神变心追逼（V16-23）
约伯继续向神抱怨，觉得神向他变心追逼他，要使他死亡，认为他的苦难是从神而来的。但这是约伯基于理性的错误论断。
3. 琴箫声变悲哭声（V24-31）
约伯感歎以往顾念痛苦者，如今神和人都不理会他，使他的生命因苦难而变调，欢乐的琴音箫声变成悲哀的哭声。
小结：
神考验约伯是有祂的美意：为了让约伯对神有更深的认识和信靠！其实很常变心的是人而不是神！神借着各样的环境，就是要操练我们的心，因为人最不容易战胜的就是自己的心；别人对我们的评价虽然对身体不痛不痒，但是它却进到我们的心里影响我们，所以真理说：你要保守你的心，胜过保守一切。
总结：神永远与我们同在！
受苦难绝非神唾弃我们。神是要我们在考验中，将焦点从人的身上转向神，数算神的恩典，打破我们的自我自怜，建立对神的信心，经历信实的神是昔在、今在、永远与我们同在的神！
Job 29-30 God of the past, present and future is with us
GK611 Morning Devotion
30 Jan 2024
The Morning Devotion Speaker: Ps Daniel Kew
1. Blessing in the past due to God’s protection (Job 29)
(1) God is my good friend (V1-4)
Job’s first thought was about God’s intimate relationship with him. Because Job knew that his past blessings were all due to God’s protection.
(2) The family is happy and prosperous (V5-6)
Job’s children surrounded him and he was financially prosperous because God is with him.
(3) Honourable character and being respected (V7-11)
At that time, everyone listened to Job in silence, not because they were afraid of Job, but because they respected the wise Job.
(4) Be a blessing to others (V12-25)
Job was philanthropic, caring for orphans and widows, and upholding justice. His words encouraged and comforted people and became a blessing to others.
Summary:
The review of Job is a list of thanksgiving. He knew that the reason for all the blessings was the presence of God! Protected by God!
Therefore, we must remember that all blessings in life come from God so that we can be alert and grateful for God’s presence and protection at all times!
2. The present is not what it used to be because God has a good intention (Job 30)
(1) Becoming a public humiliation (V1-15)
Job lamented that he was once respected by everyone, but now he has become a person who is humiliated and rejected by the public.
(2) Being chased by God’s changing heart (V16-23)
Job continued to complain to God, feeling that God had changed his mind and was pursuing him to kill him, thinking that his sufferings came from God. But this is Job’s wrong judgment based on reasoning.
(3) The sound of the piano and flute turned into the sound of weeping (V24-31)
Job lamented that in the past he cared about those who suffered, but now God and man ignored him, causing his life to change its tone due to suffering, and the joyful music of harps and flutes turned into sad cries.
Summary：
God tested Job for His good purpose: for Job to have a deeper understanding and trust in God! It is people, not God, who often change their minds! God uses various environments to train our hearts because the hardest thing for people to conquer is their hearts. Although other people’s evaluations of us may not hurt our bodies, they enter our hearts and affect us. So, the truth says: You must guard your heart more than anything else.
Conclusion: God is always with us!
Suffering does not mean that God spurns us. God wants us to turn our focus from humans to God during trials, count God’s grace, break our self-pity, build faith in God, and experience that the faithful God is with us in the past, today, and forever. God is with us!
