诗篇第48篇：有神者为蒙恩的人 
 
GK611晨祷生命读经

主讲：陈炎明牧师


引言：礼包的价值？

一、有神同在荣耀保护（48:1-3）

神的城—锡安之所以荣耀，不是因为地理优势，而是因为神在那里。
同样的：人、家庭与教会的价值，不来自外在条件，而来自神是否居住其中。

换言之，有神同在的地方，就是荣耀的地方。神的同在胜过人的成就、财富与房屋。
追求神的临在，比追求人的认可更重要。因此，生命树教会要认定：先神、后人、再大地的人生次序。

二、当神出手列国惧怕（48:4-7）

列王集合攻城，却因神的同在而惊慌退去、不战自败。神只用“东风”就能击溃最强的力量。

许多看似强大的困难，只要神一出手就崩溃。仇敌的恐吓往往比实际攻击强，但神能立即止息。面对敌人，不靠自己力量，靠神的同在。我们一旦学会更紧密依靠神，各种叫人惧怕的事物都不成威胁了！

三、从神应许化为经历（48:8）

“我们先前所听见的，如今亲眼看见了。”这是属灵生命成长的关键：
从知识 → 变成经历。从别人见证 → 变成我的见证。

信心不能只停在听道，要进入亲身经历神。神愿意让你亲眼看见祂的信实。每一次经历都成为你生命的根基。一旦经历了就成为“身体的记忆”，生命树的本色啊！（身体记忆就是：情绪、经验和创伤被存放在身体，而不是只存放在思想里。当环境触发时，身体会先反应，理性还没来得及解释。）

四、看神慈爱子民欢乐（48:9-11）

敬拜不只是外在动作，而是思想神的慈爱。当我们注目神的美好，信心就被更新。

敬拜的核心不是音乐，而是思想神的恩典。忙乱的心无法敬拜，要静下来数算神的慈爱。神的慈爱与公义带来喜乐，神的判断让全地欢乐。我们若知道自己蒙爱，我们是幸福快乐的！

五、靠神作主恩传后代（48:12-14）

“你们要周游锡安……为了传说给后代。”神要我们刻意数算祂的恩典，不然我们很快忘记。

信心是被记念神的作为而建立。每个家庭、每间教会都需要见证的传承。神不仅带领今生，也带领到永远。我们使命之一即是继续传承神的一切厚恩给下一代！

总结：再思生命树的生命

1.同在的荣耀： 神使城荣耀，人因神同在而有价值。
2.保护的权能： 仇敌再伟大，也在神面前站立不住。
3.经历的信心： 听闻到眼见，信心从信息变成经历。
4.敬拜的核心： 想神的慈爱，引领生命喜乐又稳固。
5.传承的使命： 数算神作为，使下一代认位永生神。

同样的，生命树的生命也告诉我们：真正决定一个人的价值与力量的，不是外在成就、包装或头衔，而是里面装着什么——是否装着神的同在、神的真理、神的慈爱与生命的果子


    
  

Psalm 48 - The Blessed Are Those Who Have God
GK611 Morning Devotional 
02.12.2025
Speaker: Rev David Tan 


Introduction: What is the value of the gift pack?

I. God’s Presence Brings Glory and Protection (48:1–3)

The city of God—Zion is glorious not because of geographical advantage, but because God dwells there. Likewise: the value of individuals, families, and the church does not derive from external circumstances, but from whether God resides within them.

In other words, wherever God dwells, there is glory. His presence surpasses human achievements, wealth, and buildings. Seeking God's presence matters more than seeking human approval. Therefore, Tree of Life Church must affirm this order of life: God first, people next, then the earth.

II. When God Moves, the Nations Tremble (48:4–7)

The kings gathered to attack the city, yet they panicked and retreated because of God’s presence—defeated without a fight. God used only an “east wind” to break the mightiest forces.

Many difficulties that look powerful collapse the moment God intervenes. Enemy’s intimidation is often greater than the actual attack, yet God can stop it instantly. When facing adversaries, rely not on your own strength, but on God’s presence. Once we learn to rely more closely upon God, all things that instil fear cease to be a threat!

III. From God’s Promises to Personal Experience (48:8)

“As we have heard, so have we seen.” This is the key to spiritual growth:
From knowledge → to experience. From others’ testimonies → to my testimony.
Faith must not remain merely in hearing the Word; it must enter into personal experience of God. God desires you to see His faithfulness with your own eyes. Each experience becomes a foundation for your life. Once experienced, it becomes ‘body memory’—the very essence of the tree of life! (Body memory refers to emotions, experiences, and traumas stored in the body, not merely in the mind. When triggered by circumstances, the body reacts first, before reason can explain.)

IV. God’s Love Brings Joy to His People (48:9–11)

Worship is not merely outward motion, but contemplating God's lovingkindness. When we fix our eyes upon God's goodness, our faith is renewed.

The heart of worship lies not in music, but remembering God's grace. A troubled heart cannot worship; we must still our souls to recount His kindness. God's love and righteousness bring joy; His judgments cause the whole earth to rejoice. Knowing we are loved makes us truly blessed and joyful!

V. Relying on God to Pass His Grace to Future Generations (48:12–14)

“Walk around Zion… so that you may tell it to the next generation.”
God wants us to intentionally count His blessings; otherwise, we forget easily.

Faith is built upon remembering God’s deeds. Every family and every church requires the inheritance of testimony. God not only guides this life but leads us into eternity. One of our missions is to continue passing on all God’s abundant grace to the future generations!

Conclusion: Reflecting Again on the Life of the Tree of Life

1. The Glory of His Presence: God glorifies the city; humanity finds worth through His dwelling.
2. The Power of Protection: No enemy, however mighty, can stand before God.
3. Faith Formed Through Experience: From hearing to seeing, faith transforms from message to lived experience.
4. The Heart of Worship: Remembering God’s steadfast love leads to joyful and steadfast living.
5. The Mission of Passing On: By recounting God's deeds, the next generation comes to know the eternal God.

Likewise, the life of the Tree of Life reveals: what truly determines a person's worth and strength is not external achievements, appearances, or titles, but what lies within—whether it carries God's presence, God's truth, God's love, and the fruit of life.
