诗篇第14篇|Book of Psalm 14

【劝诫愚顽人的诗篇】

主讲:丘均发传道

29/08/2023

引言:神到底是怎么看我们?

一、神垂看世人的结论(V1-4)

1.愚顽的人心中无神(V1)

愚顽人不是指缺乏智力、理解能力差的人,而是指那些顽固抗拒神的人。一个愚顽人,当他越聪明,所作的愚昧决定和选择便越多,终日所思所作全是邪恶的事!

2.偏离正路同变污秽(V2-3)

神看见世人的光景,都不寻求神,都偏离正路犯了罪,一同变为污秽,连一个行善的也没有!

3.没有敬畏神的知识(V4)

恶人压迫神的百姓,就象天天吃饭一样,不当一回事。作孽的都没有知识吗?愚顽人有的都是属世的知识,但却没有敬畏神的知识!不知道他们吃的饭是来自神!

我们会觉得愚顽人很可笑、很可悲,但他们的行径正是我们的鉴戒,我们今天要从神的眼光来认识自己,本也是污秽的人,所以不要随便去嘲笑评论他人,因为我们在神眼中也是不完全的,要警醒避免陷入愚顽的行为!

二、神在义人的族类中(V5-6)

其实,神就在祂的百姓当中!当恶人攻击神的百姓时,乃是在攻击神!所以,诗人预见当神审判逼迫祂百姓的恶人时,恶人便大大地害怕!

你若是在困苦时,愚顽人不只不同情你,还更要令你痛苦。这时要确信神与你同在,是你的避难所!有神同在,我们不但有盼望不惧怕,更可以令愚顽人大大害怕蒙羞,因为最终的胜利是在神那里!

三、被掳的子民得救回(V7)

神的百姓虽有被吞吃、被羞辱、被掳去,但有救恩从锡安而出,就是耶稣基督!诗篇宣告,神要救回祂被掳的子民,他们要快乐欢喜!最终的胜利是在神那里!

所以,最重要的是有耶稣基督,才有真正的拯救、出路和喜乐!愚顽人可以通过耶稣基督被救回;基督徒也要靠主不断脱离罪恶、抵挡恶者,活出生命树的生命!

总结:

世人唯一的得救之路,是接受‘从锡安而出’的弥赛亚基督作救主。当基督再来的时候,地上就不再有否认神、逼迫神百姓的愚顽人。…因为认识耶和华的知识要充满遍地,好像水充满洋海一般(赛11:9)。

Psalm 14 A Psalm of Warning to the Folly
GK611 Morning Devotion

The Morning Devotion Speaker: Ps. Daniel Kew

Introduction: How does God see us?

1. The conclusion of God looking at the world with concern (V1-4)

(1) The fool has no God in his heart (V1)

Fools do not refer to those who lack intelligence or understanding, but those who stubbornly resist God. A fool, the smarter he is, the more foolish decisions and choices he will make, and what he thinks and does all day long is evil!

(2) Strayed from the right path and all become corrupted (V2-3)

When God saw the situation of the world, they did not seek God, they all strayed from the right path and committed sins, and they became corrupted together, and there was not even a single one who did good!

(3) No knowledge of the fear of God (V4)

When the wicked oppress God's people, it's like eating every day. It doesn't matter. Do all the workers of iniquity have no knowledge? A fool has all the knowledge of the world, but he has no knowledge of the fear of God! Didn't know the food they ate was from God!

We may think foolish people are ridiculous and heartbreaking, but their behaviour is our example. We should know ourselves from the perspective of God today, and we are also corrupted people, so don’t just laugh at and comment on others because we are imperfect in God’s eyes too. We need to be alerted to avoid falling into foolish deeds!

2. God is in the family of the righteous (V5-6)

In fact, God is among His people! When the wicked attack God's people, they attack God! Therefore, the psalmist foresees that when God judges the wicked who persecute His people, the wicked will be terrified!

If you are in trouble, the fool will not only not sympathise with you, but will make you suffer even more. Now be assured that God is with you and is your refuge! With the presence of God, we not only have hope and not fear but can also greatly fear and shame the fools because the final victory lies with God!

3. The captives are saved (V7)

Although God's people have been devoured, humiliated, and taken captive, there is salvation coming from Zion, which is Jesus Christ! The psalm declares that God will rescue His people from captivity, and they will rejoice! The ultimate victory is with God!

Therefore, the most important thing is to have Jesus Christ, only then can there be real salvation, a way out and joy! Fools can be saved through Jesus Christ; Christians also rely on the Lord to keep getting rid of sins, resisting evil ones, and living out the life of the Tree of Life!

Conclusion:

The only way for the world to be saved is to accept Christ the Messiah who "comes out of Zion" as the Saviour. When Christ returns, there will no longer be fools who deny God and persecute God’s people on earth. …for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea. (Isaiah 11:9).
