每日箴言(中英)|尼希米 — 神的安慰临到



每日箴言

尼希米—神的安慰临到



“这都是你的仆人,你的百姓,就是你用大力,和大能的手所救赎的。” - 尼 1:10

? 灵修


主的圣殿在耶路撒冷被重建70年之后,波斯王的酒政尼希米听人报告那个地方里的人遭大难、受凌辱,城墙仍然是一片废墟。在那个时期,城墙是提供保护和安全的。耶路撒冷若要昌盛,就需要坚固的城墙。尼希米哭泣,是因为他的百姓需要一个安全的地方来生活,和敬拜耶和华他们的神。


尼希米获准回去重建城墙,这是一个艰难的任务,加上邻邦敌人来毁坏工作,就更加艰难了。但是,城墙最终在被毁140年之后被重建起来,人们可以安全生活了。


尼希米这个名字是“神安慰”的意思。神透过尼希米刚强的领导力和异象,安慰了祂的百姓。


当我们等候耶稣到来,我们知道祂是要把神的安慰带给我们,是安全远离仇敌的安慰。神也要求我们做重建者——重建一个公义和真理环绕、人民平安度日、耶稣作王的国度。在这国度里,我们爱祂并且顺服祂。


今天,你是如何效法耶稣的榜样把神的安慰带给他人呢?


? 祷告


赐安慰的神啊,我们渴望祢的再来,到那时,万物都要复兴,世界将知道祢的平安。当祢来到时,愿祢看到我们正忠心作工建造祢的国度。奉耶稣的名祷告,阿们。


普世佳音每日箴言

? Cupbearer Nehemiah

"They are your servants and your people, whom you redeemed by your great strength and your mighty hand." — Nehemiah 1:10


? Devotion

 

About 70 years after the temple of the Lord in Jerusalem was rebuilt, Nehemiah, cupbearer to the king of Persia, heard reports of trouble and disgrace there. The walls of the city were still lying in ruin. In those days, a city's walls offered protection and security. If Jerusalem was going to flourish, it needed strong walls. Nehemiah wept because his people needed a safe place in which to live and worship the Lord their God.

Nehemiah received permission to go and rebuild the walls, and that was a hard task made more difficult by neighboring enemies who sabotaged the work. But finally, about 140 years after the walls had been destroyed, they were rebuilt and the people could live safely.

Nehemiah's name means "the Lord comforts." God comforted his people through the strong leadership and vision of Nehemiah.

As we await Jesus' coming, we know that he comes to bring us the Lord's comfort, the comfort of being safe from our enemies. God asks us to be builders too—of a kingdom in which justice and truth embrace and people live in peace, where Jesus is King and we live in loving obedience to him.

In what ways are you helping to bring the Lord's comfort to others, following Jesus' example? 


? Prayer


Lord of comfort, we long for your coming again, when all will be restored and the world will know your peace. When you arrive, may you find us faithfully working to build your kingdom, we pray. Amen.
