主讲：丘均发传道

一、承认失败（诗60:1-3）

1. 被丢弃的痛（V1）
大卫一向打仗都赢，《撒母耳记下》里甚至说，他走到哪里神都让他得胜。但这一次，他居然输了。这不只是打败仗而已，对他来说更是一个很大的属灵提醒。大卫看事情跟一般人不一样。他不会只看战术或环境，而是马上想到属灵的原因。

我们常常一遇到失败，就怪环境、怪人、怪运气，但大卫不是。他第一时间是来到神面前，因为他相信，一切事情背后都有神的掌管。我们要学习他这种眼光。

 2. 震动与苦杯（V2-3）
地震动、地裂开其实是在说根基不稳；“苦杯”是在形容整个人的状态很混乱、失衡、站不住。换句话说，就是整个生命系统都在震动。所以当一切都乱了的时候，不要只想着“赶快恢复正常”。很多时候你以为只是工作不顺，后来才发现关系也出了问题，连信心都开始动摇。这时候更重要的，是先来问：神现在要我看见什么？要我调整什么？

失败，是神唤醒我们的方式之一；承认失败，是翻转的第一步。

二、旌旗高举（诗60:4-8）

1. 归回的旗号（V4-5）
“旌旗”就是一个集合点、一个方向标。意思是，当我们乱了、散了的时候，先有一个地方可以重新对齐。很多时候，神不是先解决问题，而是先说：“回到我这里。”

很常我们失败，是因为我们越乱越跑，越跑越乱；就像一个迷路的人，结果越走越远。当我们混乱的时候，先做三件事：回到神的话、回到祷告、回到神的同在。

 2. 主权的宣告（V6-8）
这几节是神在说：这些地是我的，那些地也是我的，局势没有失控。神在宣告对各个地区的主权。

信心不是否认困难，而是在困难面前宣告神的应许：这片土地是主的，我的家庭是主的，我的生命是主的！敌人看似很强，但神已经把敌人踩在脚下！

三、翻转在神（诗60:9-12）

1. 需要神同在（V9-10）
大卫承认：我进不去仇敌的坚固城，我需要神同在同去。我们今天做决定、服事、带领家庭，不要只问：“可不可以？”要问：“神祢在不在？祢有同去吗？”

 2. 靠神行大能（V11-12）
最后这两节经文告诉我们一个很重要的真理：人的帮助是靠不住的，唯有倚靠神才能经历真正的得胜。

你今天面对的是什么样的“坚固城”？是你的婚姻？你的事业？你的健康？你的财务？还是你内心一直无法胜过的罪？不要靠人的方法苦苦挣扎。抓住神的应许，倚靠祂的大能，让神亲自为你争战！

总结：
翻转的关键在于：我们有没有勇气承认自己失败了，有没有信心举起神的旌旗，有没有智慧完全倚靠祂。

为我们踏敌人的神，现在就在这里等待我们，把一切都交托给祂！



  

Psalm 60 — Turning Things Around After Defeat by Relying on God 
 GK611 Morning Devotion
30.04.2026
Speaker: Ps Daniel Kew

1. Acknowledging Failure (Psalm 60:1–3)

i. The Pain of Being Rejected (v.1) 
David was known for winning battles. In 2 Samuel, it is even said that wherever he went, the Lord gave him victory. But this time, he lost. This was not just a military defeat—it was a profound spiritual wake-up call. David did not view things the way most people do. He did not focus merely on tactics or circumstances; he immediately considered the spiritual cause.
When we face failure, we often blame circumstances, people, or luck. But not David. His first response was to come before God, because he believed that behind everything is God’s sovereign hand. This is the perspective we need to learn.

 ii. Shaking and the Cup of Staggering (vv.2–3) 
The imagery of the earth shaking and splitting speaks of unstable foundations. The “cup of staggering” describes a state of confusion, imbalance, and inability to stand firm. In other words, the whole system of life is being shaken.
So when everything feels chaotic, don’t just rush to “fix things” and get back to normal. Sometimes what seems like a work issue later reveals relational problems—and even a shaken faith. At such times, the more important question is: What does God want me to see? What is He asking me to adjust?
Failure is one way God awakens us; acknowledging failure is the first step toward turnaround.

 2. Lifting Up the Banner (Psalm 60:4–8)

i. The Banner of Return (vv.4–5) 
A “banner” is a gathering point, a marker of direction. It means that when we are 
scattered and confused, there is a place to realign ourselves. Often, God does not immediately solve the problem; instead, He first says, “Return to Me.”
Many times we fail because the more confused we are, the more we run—and the more we run, the more lost we become. Like a person who is lost and keeps walking farther away. When confusion comes, do three things: return to God’s Word, return to prayer, and return to His presence.

 ii. The Declaration of God's Sovereignty (vv.6–8) 
In these verses, God declares: “This land is Mine, and that land is also Mine.” The situation is not out of control. God is proclaiming His sovereignty over every region.
Faith is not denying difficulties; it is declaring God’s promises in the face of them: This land belongs to the Lord; my family belongs to the Lord; my life belongs to the Lord! The enemy may seem strong, but God has already placed 
him under His feet.

 3. Turnaround Comes from God (Psalm 60:9–12)

i. The Need for God’s Presence (vv.9–10) 
David acknowledged: “I cannot enter the fortified city on my own—I need God to go with me.” Today, when we make decisions, serve, or lead our families, we should not only ask, “Can this be done?” but also, “Is God with me? Is He going with me?”

 ii. Acting in Victory Through God (vv.11–12) 
These final verses reveal an important truth: human help is unreliable; only by relying on God can we experience true victory.
What is the “fortified city” you are facing today? Your marriage? Your career? Your health? Your finances? Or a sin you have struggled to overcome? Do not rely on human methods and struggle in vain. Hold on to God’s promises, depend on His power, and let Him fight for you.

 Conclusion
The key to turnaround is this:
Do we have the courage to admit our failure?
Do we have the faith to lift up God’s banner?
Do we have the wisdom to rely fully on Him?
The God who gives us victory over our enemies is here, waiting for us—entrust everything into His hands.
