神百姓的禱文

尼希米記 第9章

神百姓的禱文

這是一篇偉大的禱文。我們由第5節開始，一直讀完這章的整篇禱文，一定使我們有所得益。

我們在此特別指出禱文中的幾個重點。第一，是神的信實。第8節尾這樣說：「且應驗了你的話，因為你是公義的。」其實，整篇禱文都是說到神怎樣對待祂的百姓。他們一次又一次地對神不忠，但神卻一次又一次地拯救他們脫離仇敵的手。祂雖然懲罰他們的罪，但懲罰中卻總顯出慈愛。

禱文概述了人色列民的經歷。當中有許多動人的經節。留意第27尾至28節，以及第30至31節。它們對神的慈愛和憐憫作出了淋漓盡致的描述。

此刻，百姓因深深體會神的美善，所以便向祂許下承諾，答應必遵照祂的心意而行。請再讀第38節。你是否願意公開簽訂一份約書，承諾神必遵照祂的心意而行？在詩篇一一六篇14節，詩人聲言要在眾民面前向神還他的願。詩人是真心許願，他立定心志將來要還願。

你向神許過甚麼願？你有否忘記呢？神是不會忘記的。神信實守約，祂也希望你能同樣守信。

反思：

千萬別向神輕率許願，許願必須還願。

THE PRAYER OF GODS PEOPLE

This is a magnificent prayer. It would do you good to read the whole of it, starting with verse 5 and going on to the end of the chapter.

Notice several things in this prayer. First, there is the I faithfulness of God. The last part of verse 8 says, Thou hast fulfilled the promise for thou art righteous. At the same time all through the prayer there is the story of Gods dealings I with his people. They had been unfaithful to him so many times, but time and time again he had delivered them out of I their enemies hands. He had punished them for their sins, but had always done it in love.

It is a clear summary of the story of the Children of Israel. There are some beautiful verses in it. Notice the last parts of verse 27 and verse 28, and also verses 30-31. Arent they a wonderful description of the love and compassion of God?

Now in the light of all Gods goodnesses, the people promise him that they will do what he wants them to do. Read verse 38 again. Would you be willing to publicly sign a letter to God saying you will always try to do what he wants? I Do we realise how very serious it is to make God a promise? In Psalm 116:14 the Psalmist said he would pay his vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people. He meant what he had promised and he was determined to fulfil it.

What promises have you made to God? Have you forgotten them? God hasnt. God is always faithful to his promises and he wants us to be just as faithful to ours.

A THOUGHT:

Never promise God what you are not willing to fulfil.
