Praising Scripture - Dec 20

Paising Month Introduction...


Psalm 27:1-6
(Memorization Scripture :4-6)
1 The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked came against me to eat up my flesh,
My enemies and foes, they stumbled and fell.
3 Though an army may encamp against me, My heart shall not fear;
Though war may rise against me,In this I will be confident.
4 One thing I have desired of the Lord, that will I seek:
That I may dwell in the house of the Lord
All the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the Lord,
And to inquire in His temple.
5 For in the time of trouble
He shall hide me in His pavilion; In the secret place of His tabernacle
He shall hide me; He shall set me high upon a rock.
6 And now my head shall be lifted up ,above my enemies all around me;
Therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle;
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.


【Reflection】 In times of hardship and uncertainty we often lose sight and awareness of God’s presence in our lives. Psalm 27 is a beautiful reminder the Lord is our shelter. He provides for us and is our defender against those who seek to hurt us. The trials we face are nothing in light of the greatness of God. We do not need to be filled with fear and worry. We know the Author of life, and he is on our side.

Because of this great security we have in our Heavenly Father, we are blessed to pour out worship to him. We lift our hands and hearts to the Lord today in thanksgiving and praise for what he has done and continues to do for us. He is unrelenting and does not abandon his children. Facing our challenges and enemies, Let’s also boast our victory in Him-“The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?”

Take heart on this day. As children of God, let us give praise to our Father who is worthy of receiving it. We praise him in our homes, with our families, and our places of work. We praise him with our children, our spouses, our friends, and the full body of Christ. Every time when we praise, we shall express our desire like this “One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to inquire in His temple.”


【讚美月簡介】...


詩篇 27:1-6
(背誦經文:4-6)
1 耶和華是我的亮光,是我的拯救,我還怕誰呢?
耶和華是我性命的保障,我還懼誰呢?
2 那作惡的,就是我的仇敵,前來吃我肉的時候,
就絆跌仆倒。
3 雖有軍兵安營攻擊我,我的心也不害怕;
雖然興起刀兵攻擊我,我必仍舊安穩。
4 有一件事,我曾求耶和華,仍要尋求:
就是一生一世住在耶和華的殿中,
瞻仰祂的榮美,在祂的殿裡求問。
5 因為我遭遇患難,祂必暗暗地保守我;
在祂亭子裡,把我藏在祂帳幕的隱密處,
將我高舉在磐石上。
6 現在我得以昂首,高過四面的仇敵;
我要在祂的帳幕裡歡然獻祭,我要唱詩,歌頌耶和華。


【心得分享】 當生活中充滿艱難與不確定時,我們在生活中常常會忽略 神的同在。但詩篇27提醒我們,神是我們的庇護。祂提供了我們一切所需,同時祂保護我們,不讓他人傷害我們。我們人生中的考驗,在 神的面前都是微不足道的。我們在生活中不必恐慌,也不必擔憂。我們認識生命的創造者,祂站在我們這一邊。
因為我們在天父的裡面有如此極大的安全感,而且我們有福份向祂敬拜。今天讓我們舉起雙手、敞開心靈感謝、讚美 神,感謝祂為我們做的一切。祂是堅定不變的,並且永不離棄我們。在困難和仇敵面前,我們當像詩人那樣誇勝:「耶和華是我的亮光,是我的拯救,我還怕誰呢?」
今天作為 神的兒女,讓我們一起帶著信心、讚美慈愛的天父。我們在家裡、在職場,與我們的孩子、配偶、朋友們、和所有主內的弟兄姐妹一起讚美祂。每一次讚美與禱告時,讓我們也向祂表明我們的心意:「有一件事,我曾求耶和華,我仍要尋求:就是一生一世住在耶和華的殿中,瞻仰祂的榮美,在祂的殿裡求問。」
