暗夜真光
祢必點著我的燈;耶和華我的上帝必照明我的黑暗。—詩篇18篇28節
一場暴風雨穿過我們的新市鎮,留下濃濃的濕氣和陰霾的天空。傍晚,我帶著愛犬卡莉去散步。想到我們舉家千里迢迢搬遷至此,但所面對的挑戰卻越發嚴峻,實在令我心情沮喪,因為太多事遠不及我們原本的盼望和期待。我放慢腳步,好讓卡莉能聞一聞草的味道。此時,我聽見我們家旁邊小河潺潺的流水聲,又看到岸邊簇簇的野花上盤旋著點點螢光。啊!螢火蟲!
當我看著螢光閃爍穿透黑暗時,主的平安也環繞著我。我想起詩人大衛向上帝吟唱:「祢必點著我的燈」(詩篇18篇28節)。大衛宣告說,上帝能將他所面對的黑暗變為光明,並且對上帝的供應與保護滿有信心(29-30節)。靠著上帝的能力,他能面對種種挑戰(32-35節)。大衛相信,無論在何種情況下,永活的上帝都會與他同在,因此他要在列國中讚美上帝,歌頌祂的名(36-49節)。
無論我們是正在忍受生活中難以預測的暴風雨,還是正在享受雨過天晴的平靜,賜平安的上帝永遠與我們同在,始終照亮我們所穿越的黑暗道路。永活的上帝永遠是我們的力量、我們的避難所、我們的扶持者,祂也是我們的拯救者。
天父啊,求祢幫助我相信祢的良善與慈愛,
即使在黑暗無法看見祢的環境中,仍能信靠祢。
哪些經文幫助你相信上帝永遠同在?倚靠上帝的
權柄與良善,為何能使我們有信心地穿越風暴?

詩篇18篇看起來是一首回顧省思的詩歌。在大衛所寫的許多詩篇中,我們看到他一再被人追殺,先是掃羅王,後是大衛的兒子押沙龍。在那些逃亡和危險的時期,大衛有時會質疑上帝的信實、慈愛和看顧,質疑上帝為什麼不為他介入阻止。但在詩篇18篇,我們看到了一個反思過去的大衛。他回顧自己的歷程,看到一路來上帝同在並保護他的各種證據(1-3、16-19、25-29、35-36、47-50節),即使在希望渺茫的人生階段也不例外。在回顧過往之後,大衛不再質疑上帝,而是確定上帝信實可靠。

Light in the Dark
You, Lord, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light.Psalm 18:28
A severe thunderstorm passed through our new town, leaving high humidity and dark skies in its wake. I took our dog, Callie, for an evening stroll. The mounting challenges of my family’s cross-country move grew heavier on my mind. Frustrated by the countless ways things had strayed so far from our high hopes and expectations, I slowed to let Callie sniff the grass. I listened to the creek that runs beside our house. Tiny lights flashed on and off while hovering over the patches of wildflowers climbing up the creek’s bank. Fireflies.
The Lord wrapped me in peace as I watched the blinking lights cutting through the darkness. I thought of the psalmist David singing, “You, Lord, keep my lamp burning” (Psalm 18:28). Proclaiming that God turns his darkness into light, David demonstrated confident faith in the Lord’s provision and protection (vv. 29–30). With God’s strength, he could handle anything that came his way (vv. 32–35). Trusting the living Lord to be with him through all circumstances, David promised to praise Him among the nations and sing the praises of His name (vv. 36–49).
Whether we’re enduring the unpredictable storms in life or enjoying the stillness after the rains have passed, the peace of God’s constant presence lights our way through the darkness. Our living God will always be our strength, our refuge, our sustainer, and our deliverer.
