城牆奉獻禮

尼希米記 第12章

城牆奉獻禮

神呼召尼希米所作的工，終於完成了。在舉行城牆奉獻禮的日子，尼希米便招聚利未人(以色列民中作祭司支派的)一起來到耶路撒冷，帶領眾民一起唱詩歌頌神。

神百姓的一個特徵，就是喜歡唱詩歌頌。詩人說：「他使我口唱新歌，就是讚美我們神的話」(詩四十3)。一個快樂的基督徒，必然會不停地歌頌神。

來到新約，保羅指出信徒必須口唱心和地感謝神(西三16)。你的教會是否一間熱愛唱歌的教會？無論如何，信徒一起唱詩歌頌，始終是讚頌神的重要方式之一。

在奉獻禮的進行期間，還有其他人在聖殿參與事奉。當中有守門的和看守奉獻的。這些工作雖然並不顯眼，但各人都克盡己職。

每件事奉工作的背後，都總有許多信徒在默默支持和參與。站在講台上作事奉的，可能只得一人；但在幕後，卻有數以百計的人在辛勤工作；除了神以外，可能沒有人看見他們的工作。新約聖經教導我們，神看見我們在暗中行善，將來必公開地賞賜我們。

神若呼召你以一個隱藏的角色來事奉祂，你是否願意去回應呢？你現在所參與的事奉，是否為神而作的呢？祂是否還呼召你去做其他的工作呢？你願意承擔嗎？

禱告：

主啊，求你助我遵從你的旨意，即使你要我去做一件不顯眼的工作。

THE DEDICATION OF THE WALLS

At last the work to which God had called Nehemiah was finished. The day of dedication arrived and Nehemiah gathered the Levites (the priestly tribe of Israel) together to lead all the people in singing the dedication.

Singing has always been characteristic of the people of God. The Psalmist said, He has put a new song into my mouth, even praise unto my God. A happy Christian is a singing Christian.

In the New Testament Paul says that one thing we should do together is to sing with thankfulness in our hearts to the Lord (Colossians 3:16). Is your church a singing church? It ought to be. It is one way in which you can praise God together.

There were others too who served in the Temple at the time of the dedication of the walls. There were gatekeepers and men who looked after the money that was given. They all had a part, even though it might be a hidden part.

There have always been Christians who have been willing to work behind the scenes. For every one person on the platform, there may be a hundred or more who work without I being seen by anyone except God. The New Testament says that the Lord who sees in secret will reward us openly for the work we do for him.

Are you willing to do whatever the Lord asks you to do ; even if no-one will see what you do? What are you doing for I him now? Is there something more he is asking you to do? Are you willing to do it?

A PRAYER:

Lord, help me to be willing to do whatever you want me to do, even if no-one will ever know.
