同聲讚美神

詩篇 第96章

這是一篇快樂的詩篇，讀完它後，你可有一種衝動，想與詩人一同高聲讚美神？

詩人在詩中呼籲所有人去頌讚神。他希望人人都認識神的作為和為人所設立的救恩。他尤其盼望那些未曾認識神的人，能知曉神的大能。請看第3至5節及第10節。他深信只有他的神是獨一的真神，和全地的創造者。

你有否發現，詩人在這篇詩中沒有提出任何一項祈求。詩人一定是認為，他在這篇頌讚詩中，不該再向神祈求甚麼。你曾否試過像詩人一樣，全心全意地向神發出頌讚，不向神求取任何東西？這並非易事，因為我們習慣不斷向神求這求那；除了祈求之外，似乎不再懂得向神說些甚麼。

這篇詩是怎樣結尾的？詩人提到基督的來臨。他的來臨，將會為世界帶來重大的改變！詩中提及兩方面的改變。其一，是自然界的萬物都會改變(12節)。當萬物最終承認基督是王之後，這個一度被罪污染的世界將會煥然一新。甚至是荒蕪的曠野，也會變得像玫瑰一般的燦爛。

其次，詩人指出，當基督再來的時候，便要正式開始審判；審判包括：

審判世界：這要按照世人如何對待基督，來作為審判的依據。

審判神的子民：保羅告訴我們，我們各人都要站在神的審判台前，為自己如何服侍基督向神交賬。

到了將來，我們都必須接受審判；至於今天，我們的責任就是要去頌讚和服侍神。我們究竟有沒有善用有限的時間，做好今天的本份，並為將來作好準備呢？

DON’T YOU FEEL LIKE PRAISING GOD?
BIBLE READING: Psalm 96

Isn’t this a happy Psalm? Doesn’t it make you feel like shouting, ‘Praise the Lord’?

The writer is calling on everyone everywhere to do just that. He wants everyone to know what God had done for him. He particularly wants those who don’t worship God to hear what God can do. Look at verses 3 – 5 and verse 10. He believes that his God is the only true God and is the creator of all the earth.

Did you notice too that there is not one request in this Psalm? The writer does not suggest that we ask God for anything in this Psalm of praise. Have you ever prayed like that? Have you ever said, ‘I am going to praise God in my prayers this time and not ask him for anything? It’s hard, isn’t it? We are so used to asking, asking, asking, that we find it difficult to do anything else.

How does the Psalm end? With a reference to the coming of Christ. What a change his coming will bring! Here two aspects are mentioned. One is the final change that there will be in the world of nature (v. 12). When Christ is finally recognised as king, the world around which has been marred by sin and by man will be wonderfully changed. Even the wilderness will blossom like a rose.

Secondly, the Psalm speaks about judgment when Christ returns. There are two judgments mentioned:

1. The judgment of all the world. This will be on the basis of what they have done with Christ himself, who is the righteousness of God.

2. The judgment of God’s own people. Paul tells us we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ to be judged for the things we have done for Christ.

Those two judgments are yet in the future. Today is our day for both praise and service. Are we making full use of the time that we have?
