 QT:勝過撒旦詭計的信心(約伯記02:01—02:13)


[生命泉源]

02:01 — 又有一天,神的眾子來侍立在耶和華面前,撒但也來在其中。
On another day the angels came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came with them to present himself before him.
02:02 — 耶和華問撒但說:「你從那裏來?」撒但回答說:「我從地上走來走去,往返而來。」
And the LORD said to Satan, "Where have you come from?" Satan answered the LORD, "From roaming through the earth and going back and forth in it." 
02:03 — 耶和華問撒但說:「你曾用心察看我的僕人約伯沒有?地上再沒有人像他完全正直,敬畏神,遠離惡事。你雖激動我攻擊他,無故地毀滅他,他仍然持守他的純正。」
Then the LORD said toSatan, "Have you considered my servant Job? Thereis no one on earth like him; he is blameless andupright, a man who fears God and shuns evil. Andhe still maintains his integrity, though youincited me against him to ruin him without anyreason."
02:04 — 撒但回答耶和華說:「人以皮代皮,情願捨去一切所有的,保全性命。
"Skin for skin!" Satan replied. "A man will give all he has for his own life. 
02:05 — 你且伸手傷他的骨頭和他的肉,他必當面棄掉你。」
But stretch out your hand and strike his flesh and bones, and he will surely curse you to your face." 
02:06 — 耶和華對撒但說:「他在你手中,只要存留他的性命。」
The LORD said to Satan, "Very well, then, he is in your hands; but you must spare his life." 
02:07 — 於是撒但從耶和華面前退去,擊打約伯,使他從腳掌到頭頂長毒瘡。
So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD and afflicted Job with painful sores from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. 
02:08 — 約伯就坐在爐灰中,拿瓦片刮身體。
Then Job took a piece of broken pottery and scraped himself with it as he sat among the ashes. 
02:09 — 他的妻子對他說:「你仍然持守你的純正麼?你棄掉神,死了吧!」
His wife said to him, "Are you still holding on to your integrity? Curse God and die!" 
02:10 — 約伯卻對他說:「你說話像愚頑的婦人一樣。噯!難道我們從神手裏得福,不也受禍麼?」在這一切的事上約伯並不以口犯罪。
He replied, "You are talking like a foolish woman. Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?" In all this, Job did not sin in what he said.
02:11 — 約伯的三個朋友提幔人以利法、書亞人比勒達、拿瑪人瑣法聽說有這一切的災禍臨到他身上,各人就從本處約會同來,為他悲傷,安慰他。
When Job's three friends,Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite andZophar the Naamathite, heard about all thetroubles that had come upon him, they set out fromtheir homes and met together by agreement to goand sympathize with him and comfort him.
02:12 — 他們遠遠地舉目觀看,認不出他來,就放聲大哭。各人撕裂外袍,把塵土向天揚起來,落在自己的頭上。
When they saw him from a distance, they could hardly recognize him; they began to weep aloud, and they tore their robes and sprinkled dust on their heads.
02:13 — 他們就同他七天七夜坐在地上,一個人也不向他說句話,因為他極其痛苦。
Then they sat on the ground with him for seven days and seven nights. No one said a word to him, because they saw how great his suffering was.
省 思 語— 我每天的生活,都有神在天上看著。
省 思 語— 什麼樣的人才是真正神的僕人呢?
省 思 語— 肉體受苦難並非罪的報應,也非神離棄了自己。

 

 


[我的省思]
摩西是神的僕人,大衛是神的僕人,耶穌基督是神的僕人,保羅是神的僕人,在此,約伯也是神的僕人。這些神的僕人們,在他們的人生當中,都曾無故經受巨大的苦難與挫折,而在這些打擊中,他們都仍堅定的持守他們的純正,都能持守對主的信心。

看著這些神的僕人們,想想我自己,我曾經經受的苦難,並非無故的,我曾經經受的苦難,也遠不及這些僕人們的萬分之一,而我卻譴責自己、埋怨天父,甚至背離了主、走向撒旦。

撒旦是無孔不入的,約伯記一章七節、二章二節都記載到:「耶和華問撒但說:『你從那裏來?』撒但回答說:『我從地上走來走去,往返而來。』」瞧!撒旦在地上!它不止在地上,還走來走去、走來走去,往返而來!它無時無刻都在找哪裡有機可趁,能趁虛而入!

人們在經受苦難的當下,絕對都是飽受折磨的,這是神要試煉我們,要我們從這苦難中得到益處,也許是失敗的教訓,也許是另一扇窗的開啟,也許讓我們更明白神的真理。願我往後的人生,能謹記神的僕人的樣式,時時警醒,在患難中仍能謹守純正的心、仍能堅定仰望倚靠主,武全副神裝,即使撒旦在四周圍不斷往返,也要它無功而返、鎩羽而歸!

 


[今日禱告]
主啊!我要緊緊抓住祢,用祢的話語作為我的金鐘罩,來抵擋無所不在的撒旦的侵襲。

主啊!求祢賜下聖靈在我們家中,我和國賢分隔兩地,願我們各自都能與祢有好的關係,使我們這個家不因距離而疏遠,能在祢的靈裡合一。

主啊!願我能在詠晴的成長中,有祢賜的智慧,教導她認識祢,熟讀祢的話語,並身體力行,讓她自己也能築起一道金鐘罩,來保護她自己!終生受用!

主啊!求祢憐憫我的父母,求祢賜下平安與喜樂到達他們的心中,使他們不要受撒旦的綑綁、為金錢所苦,求祢破碎剛硬的心、撼動頑強的堅持,進到他們裡面,成為他們的盼望、他們的救贖。

 

感謝讚美主,一切榮耀都歸於主,孩子這樣感謝、禱告都是奉主耶穌基督的聖名祈求,阿門!
