1-11節--大衛的見證

詩篇 第40章

今天我們所讀的詩篇，既是大衛的心聲，又包含了有關基督的預言。

我們並不確實知道大衛在何時寫這篇詩；但從詩的內容顯示，他剛剛經歷了神的拯救，所以大抵可推論他是寫於兒子押沙龍叛變的期間(參撒下十五至十八章)。

我們未必與大衛有相同的經歷，可是，大衛在頭幾節所寫的見證，卻能引起我們的共鳴。大衛一開始便說：「我曾耐性等候耶和華」，讓我們撫心自問，我們曾否為到我們所祈求的，去耐心等候神？要耐心地等候神，絕不是一件容易的事。然而，且看大衛的下一句：「他垂聽我的呼求」。神彷彿一聽見大衛的呼求，就轉臉望向他(神的眼目其實從沒離開他)；得知他向自己求救之後，神便馬上拯救他。情況就仿如大衛掉進泥沼之中，正往下沉之際，他急忙向神呼求。你曾否有過類似的經驗呢？

就在這命在旦夕之間，神馬上來到他的面前，伸出祂的手，把他從危難中救拔出來。此刻的大衛，只感覺雙腳再次站在神那充滿能力和慈愛的堅固磐石之上。

這種起死回生的感覺，令到大衛只想歡呼高唱。你曾經有過類似的感覺嗎？當神在危難中拯救了你，你在感激之餘，只想不斷地高歌讚美神。請看第9節。大衛不單要高歌讚美神，他更要把神的作為告訴神的百姓，要他們跟他一起去頌讚神。

但願我們都學像大衛一樣，歡喜快樂地向人傳講神的美善，讓別人能與我們一同頌讚神的恩典。

最後，願借用一首著名的詩歌「奇異恩典」，與大家一同歌頌神：

奇異恩典，何等甘甜，我罪已得赦免；

前我失喪，今被尋回，瞎眼今得看見。

DAVIDS PERSONAL TESTIMONY
BIBLE READING: Psalm 40: 1 – 11

Here is one of those Psalms which is a story of David’s own experiences, but also is a prophecy concerning Christ.

We do not know just when David wrote this Psalm. It must have been after some great deliverance by God, possibly about the time of Absalom’s rebellion and death (2 Samuel 15 to 18).

But each one of us can identify with David’s testimony in the first few verses. Look at the words, ‘I waited patiently for the Lord’. Have you ever had to wait for God to answer your prayer? It hasn’t been easy to wait patiently has it? Then God turned toward David (actually he had never turned away) and heard David’s cry and delivered him from the circumstances he was in. These circumstances seemed like a deep pit with a muddy floor into which David was sinking. Gave you ever felt like that?

Then God came and putting his hand down, pulled David right out of the pit. David found his feet were on the solid rock of God’s power and love.

That made David feel like singing and shouting. You have felt like that, haven’t you? God has done so much for you that you just felt like singing his praise all day long. Look at verse 9 also. David told God’s people all that God had done for him and they all had a great meeting of praise together.

Isn’t it wonderful to share the story of God’s goodness with others? We encourage each other tremendously in that way.

Do you know this chorus?

‘How good is the God we adore

Our faithful unchangeable friend

Whose love is as great as his power

And knows neither measure nor end.’

Tell someone else today what God has done for you.
