Psalm 106:6-12 God Turns Me Returns 神轉向人回轉

Thursday, 1st February 2024

Rev Daniel Xi An Poon 潘錫安牧師

In 2024, God will give us new anointing and new power. In this new year, we want to get rid of many old things in the past, but so often we want to wipe away yet we couldn’t. God gives us hope, and through Him, we can really get rid of the old and welcome the new.

2024年，神將賜給我們新的恩膏和新的力量。在新的一年裡，我們想把很多過去的舊事丟掉，但很多時候我們想抹掉卻又做不到。神給我們希望，透過祂，我們才能真正除舊迎新。

V6-7 People Walk in Sin 人行在罪中

“We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly. Our fathers in Egypt did not understand Your wonders; they did not remember the multitude of Your mercies, but rebelled by the sea—the Red Sea.”

「我們與我們的祖宗一同犯罪； 我們作了孽，行了惡。 我們的祖宗在埃及不明白你的奇事， 不記念你豐盛的慈愛， 反倒在紅海行了悖逆。」

We have sinned with our ancestors, do not think we are pure or sinless, It’s easy to blame our problems on this world and on other people. But the Bible tells us that we’ve already sinned alone with our ancestors. We are sinners and we don’t understand God’s love for us. Do we really know God and understand God? We sinned together with our ancestors, we chose the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil and we don’t choose the Tree of Life.

我們和我們的祖先一起犯了罪，我們很容易將我們的問題歸咎於這個世界和其他人。但聖經告訴我們，我們已經和我們的祖先一起犯了罪。我們是罪人，我們不明白神對我們的愛。我們真的認識神、了解神嗎？我們和我們的祖先一起選擇了分別善惡樹，但我們沒有選擇生命樹。

God is a God of Grace, God gave us abundant blessings, not because of what we’ve done, but only because if God’s love. Do we remember God’s love for us? We want the things of this world, but we don’t see what God wants to give us is more abundantly.

神是一位有恩典的神，神賜給我們豐富的祝福，不是因為我們做了什麼，而是因為神的愛。我們還記得神對我們的愛嗎？我們想要這個世界的東西，但我們看不到神想要給我們的是更豐盛的。

V8-11 God Turns and Saves 神轉向拯救

“Nevertheless He saved them for His name’s sake, that He might make His mighty power known. He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it dried up; so He led them through the depths, as through the wilderness. He saved them from the hand of him who hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy. The waters covered their enemies; there was not one of them left.”

「然而，他因自己的名拯救他們，為要彰顯他的大能，並且斥責紅海，海便乾了； 他帶領他們經過深處，如同經過曠野。 他拯救他們脫離恨他們人的手， 從仇敵手中救贖他們。 水淹沒他們的敵人，沒有一個存留。」

God’s Name is powerful, He fights for us, He provides for us, and He will set us free. But we don’t see what we have, instead we only see what we don’t have and we strive to take back what we lost or change our currently. This is sin, because we cannot see God is with us.

神的名是大有能力的，祂為我們而戰，祂為我們預備，祂給我們自由。但我們看不到我們所擁有的，而是只看到我們所沒有的，並努力奪回我們失去的或改變我們的現狀。我們都犯了罪，因為我們看不見神與我們同在。

We keep on looking at our problems and our impossibilities, we see the world bigger than God. God has been with us all this time, He wants to reveal His Greatness, He is powerful and He is able, but we don’t see Him. We only want people to see us, not God. We work hard for people to see us, not God. We want to do many things for God, but God only wants us to let Him reveal His power in us so the world will see. Are our lives full of God? Do people see God through us? God wants us to rest in Him and to surround ourselves in front of Him. There is nothing in this world we can rely on, expect for the God Almighty, He wants us to rely on Him only, He will fight for us and He will vindicate for us!

我們不斷地檢視我們的問題和我們的不可能，我們看到世界比神更大。神一直與我們同在，祂想要彰顯祂的偉大，祂有能力，但我們選擇看不見祂的大能。我們只希望人們看到我們，而不是神。我們努力工作是為了人們看到我們，我們想為神做很多事情，但神只希望我們讓祂在我們身上彰顯祂的大能，讓世界看見。我們的生命充滿神嗎？人們透過我們看見神嗎？神希望我們在祂裡面安息，並把自己包圍在祂面前。這世界上沒有任何事物是我們可以依靠的，全能的神只希望我們能依靠他，他會為我們而戰，他會為我們伸冤！

V12 The Heart of Men Turn Back and Believe 人的心轉向相信

“Then they believed His words; they sang His praise.”

How much do we believe? What is our faith? Do we believe God only when we see God’s salvation? Or can we believe before we see our problems solved? Our faith must be shine in front of the people, to praise God in front of the Gentiles, to share our faith in to the world. We must uplift Jesus, praise and worship Him, and to simply receive joy in Him. God is with us and He loves us.

When God turns to us, people will turn to Him. This is the promise of God for us, He is love and He wants us to experience His love.
