Day 24 Psalm 43:3-5

3 Send out your light and your truth; let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy hill and to your dwelling!
4 Then I will go to the altar of God, to God my exceeding joy, and I will praise you with the lyre, O God, my God.
5 Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God.

Reflection: A life and service without God’s light and guidance can leave our souls heavy and restless. To break through such spiritual heaviness, we must come before God, lifting our voices in praise and calling on His name. Prayer and praise act like spiritual wings, carrying us to God’s holy mountain and dwelling, elevating our perspective toward the heavenly. Each time we praise aloud, it is a spiritual declaration of victory: “God is the glory of my face.”

Day 24 詩篇 43:3-5

3 求你發出你的亮光和真實，好引導我，帶我到你的聖山，到你的居所。
4 我就走到 神的祭壇，到我最喜樂的 神那裡。神啊，我的 神，我要彈琴稱讚你。
5 我的心哪，你為何憂悶？為何在我裡面煩躁？應當仰望 神，因我還要稱讚祂，祂是我臉上的光榮，是我的 神。

【心得分享】沒有亮光和引導的生活、事奉會讓我們心靈憂悶煩躁。若想突破這樣屬靈的低沉、壓抑，就必須走到 神的面前，揚聲讚美祂、呼求祂名！因為禱告、讚美就好像是我們屬靈的雙翼，能帶我們到 神的聖山和居所，能提升我們屬天的眼光。所以每一次揚聲讚美都是屬靈的誇勝—『神是我臉上的光榮』。
