2024 31-Day Praising Day 4:

"Those Who Seek The Lord Shall Praise Him" (Psalm 22:22-26)
(Memorization Scripture 25-26)

22 I will declare Your name to My brethren; in the midst of the assembly I will praise You.
23 You who fear the Lord, praise Him! All you descendants of Jacob, glorify Him, and fear Him, all you offspring of Israel!
24 For He has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; nor has He hidden His face from Him; but when He cried to Him, He heard.
25 My praise shall be of You in the great assembly; I will pay My vows before those who fear Him.
26 The poor shall eat and be satisfied; those who seek Him will praise the Lord. Let your heart live forever!
27 All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the Lord, and all the families of the nations shall worship before You.

Reflection:
In this renowned Messianic psalm, David accurately foretold the sufferings of the Lord Jesus on the cross, even down to many specific details (Psalm 22:1-21). Because of the salvation accomplished by Christ Jesus on the cross, we, His redeemed people, have been bought back and established. We now have the privilege of standing among the congregation and proclaiming His holy name, giving thanks and praising Him among all peoples and nations!
Indeed, Christ alone is our Savior, our life, our joy, and our satisfaction. He is our ultimate pursuit. Through the redemption of the cross, Christ sought and saved us. Therefore, with new life, we ought to honor and serve the One Who loved us to the point of giving His life.
"Those who seek the Lord shall praise Him. Let your heart live forever!" Praise God that we have been called to walk among the assembly of saints who seek Him, and may praise become the hallmark and identity of those who belong to Him.
Let our praises express the unending gratitude and adoration we have for Him in our hearts. May they continually stir up our faith and revive our spiritual lives! Let our hearts live forever!

2024 讚美月 Day 4：

「尋求耶和華的人必讚美祂」（詩篇22:22-26）
(背誦25-26節)
22 我要將你的名傳於我的弟兄，在會中我要讚美你。
23 你們敬畏耶和華的人，要讚美祂！雅各的後裔，都要榮耀祂！以色列的後裔，都要懼怕祂！
24 因為祂沒有藐視、憎惡受苦的人，也沒有向他掩面，那受苦之人呼籲的時候，祂就垂聽。
25 我在大會中讚美你的話是從你而來的，我要在敬畏耶和華的人面前還我的願。
26 謙卑的人必吃得飽足，尋求耶和華的人必讚美祂。願你們的心永遠活著！
27 地的四極都要想念耶和華，並且歸順祂，列國的萬族都要在你面前敬拜。

【心得分享】在這首著名的彌賽亞詩篇中，大衛精確地預言了主耶穌要經歷的十字架的苦難與著多細節（詩22:1-21）。正是因著基督耶穌在十字架上所成就的救恩，我們這屬祂的子民得以被贖回、被建立，能站在眾民的會眾中、在萬族、萬邦中傳揚祂的聖名，感謝讚美祂！是的，唯有基督是我們的救主、是我們的生命、是我們的喜樂與滿足、也成了我們唯一的追求。因着基督十架救恩找尋和救贖了我們，我們理黨以新的生命尊祟和事奉這位愛我們以至捨命的主。「尋求耶和華的人必讚美祂。願你們的心永遠活著！」。感謝主讓我們行在「尋求耶和華」的聖民的行列，讓讚美成為屬祂生命的特質和印記。就讓我們的讚美說出我們裡面對祂無盡的感恩與愛戴，也藉著讚美常常挑旺我們的信心與生命！願我們的心永遠活著！
