贖回的生命

※Being restored fortune；
Psalms 126:1 When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dreamed.
1當耶和華將那些被擄的帶回錫安的時候，我們好像做夢的人。
＊“Fortune” here doesn’t mean luck or chance. It is not saying, “I’ve been playing the gaming tables and finally I got lucky.” It is not saying, “I’ve been down on my luck and finally I got my lucky break.”
The word “fortune” here mirrors the word “restore,” so “When the Lord restored our fortunes”(Psalms 126:1) means something like “When God restored us to a restored situation.”
詩中的「Fortune」，不是指「運氣」或「機會」，是對照「restore」而言，指的是回復以前的光景。
＊We find the same in the Psalms 126:4, which is parallel: “Restore our fortunes, O Lord,” meaning, “Restore us to this restored situation, O Lord.” This matters because people think they are “living the dream” when they have bought a new vacation home or a whole new wardrobe from Savile Row. Truly such people are missing real joy.
第四節也是一樣，不是旅遊回到家中或買新家具時的喜樂感覺，也是「回復到以前的光景」而喜樂。
＊Joy is not financially living well or looking good. Joy is about being restored, that is, brought back to who you were designed to be.
「喜樂」是不關經濟景況、外表的容貌，「喜樂」是上帝定意要給祂的子民的生活樣式。
