这福音本是神的大能,要救一切相信的!

【Daily Bread】Trust Him First 先相信


God carries us to new places of grace as we trust in Him.

信靠上帝,祂必领我们到新的恩典之境。


Praise the Lord; praise God our savior! For each day he carries us in his arms. Psalm 68:19 

天天背负我们重担的主,就是拯救我们的上帝,是应当称颂的。-诗篇68篇19节

“Don’t let go, Dad!” “I won’t. I’ve got you. I promise.” I was a little boy terrified of the water, but my dad wanted me to learn to swim. He would purposefully take me away from the side of the pool into a depth that was way over my head, where he was my only support. Then he would teach me to relax and float.

“爸!你不可以放手喔!”“我向你保证,我不会放手的,我会牢牢抓着你。” 记得小时候我很怕水,但父亲仍希望我能学会游泳。所以他经常刻意带我离开游泳池边,领我到水深过头之处。在那里他成了我唯一的倚靠,也让我学会如何放松和漂浮


It wasn’t just a swimming lesson; it was a lesson in trust. I knew my father loved me and would never let me be harmed intentionally, but I was also afraid. I would cling tightly to his neck until he reassured me all would be well. Eventually his patience and kindness won out, and I began to swim. But I had to trust him first.

这不只是游泳课,更是学习信任的功课。虽然我知道父亲爱我,绝不会故意让我受伤,但我依然感到害怕。我常紧抱他的脖子不放,直到他再三保证不会有事。最后他的耐心和慈爱胜过我的恐惧,我总算学会游泳了。但我必须要先信任他。


When I feel “over my head” in a difficulty, I sometimes think back on those moments. They help me call to mind the Lord’s reassurance to His people: “Even to your old age . . . I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you” (Isaiah 46:4).

如今当我陷入困境,觉得快要被淹没时,常会想起那段时光。这也提醒我上帝也再三向祂的百姓保证:“直到你们年老,我仍这样;直到你们发白,我仍怀搋。我已造作,也必保抱;我必怀抱,也必拯救。”(以赛亚书46章4节)


We may not always be able to feel God’s arms beneath us, but the Lord has promised that He will never leave us (Hebrews 13:5). As we rest in His care and promises, He helps us learn to trust in His faithfulness. He lifts us above our worries to discover new peace in Him.

我们或许不会总是感受到上帝的膀臂正托住我们,但上帝的确已经应许,祂永远不会离弃我们(希伯来书13章5节)。当我们信靠上帝的看顾和应许,祂就帮助我们学习倚靠祂的信实。上帝必托住我们不被忧虑淹没,好让我们在祂里面找到真平安。


Abba, Father, we praise You for carrying us through this life. Please give us faith to trust that You are always with us.

阿爸天父,感谢祢愿意在我们人生的每一天扶持我们。求祢赐给我们信心,能全然相信祢一直与我们同在。

Isaiah 46:3-13    NIV

46 “Listen to me, you descendants of Jacob, all the remnant of the people of Israel, you whom I have upheld since your birth, and have carried since you were born. 4 Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you. 5 “With whom will you compare me or count me equal? To whom will you liken me that we may be compared? 6 Some pour out gold from their bags and weigh out silver on the scales; they hire a goldsmith to make it into a god, and they bow down and worship it. 7 They lift it to their shoulders and carry it; they set it up in its place, and there it stands. From that spot it cannot move. Even though someone cries out to it, it cannot answer; it cannot save them from their troubles. 8 “Remember this, keep it in mind, take it to heart, you rebels. 9 Remember the former things, those of long ago; I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me. 10 I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.’ 11 From the east I summon a bird of prey; from a far-off land, a man to fulfill my purpose. What I have said, that I will bring about; what I have planned, that I will do. 12 Listen to me, you stubborn-hearted, you who are now far from my righteousness. 13 I am bringing my righteousness near, it is not far away; and my salvation will not be delayed. I will grant salvation to Zion, my splendor to Israel.


以赛亚书 46:3-13

46  “雅各家,以色列家一切余剩的,要听我言!你们自从生下,就蒙我保抱;自从出胎,便蒙我怀揣。 4 直到你们年老,我仍这样;直到你们发白,我仍怀揣。我已造做,也必保抱;我必怀抱,也必拯救。5 “你们将谁与我相比,与我同等,可以与我比较,使我们相同呢? 6 那从囊中抓金子,用天平平银子的人,雇银匠制造神像,他们又俯伏,又叩拜。 7 他们将神像抬起,扛在肩上,安置在定处,它就站立,不离本位。人呼求它,它不能答应,也不能救人脱离患难。8 “你们当想念这事,自己做大丈夫!悖逆的人哪,要心里思想! 9 你们要追念上古的事,因为我是神,并无别神。我是神,再没有能比我的。 10 我从起初指明末后的事,从古时言明未成的事,说:‘我的筹算必立定,凡我所喜悦的,我必成就。’ 11 我召鸷鸟从东方来,召那成就我筹算的人从远方来。我已说出,也必成就;我已谋定,也必做成。12 “你们这些心中顽梗,远离公义的,当听我言! 13 我使我的公义临近,必不远离,我的救恩必不迟延。我要为以色列我的荣耀,在锡安施行救恩。
