啟示錄八章1-4節 神的小僕人
經文:
1 羔羊揭開第七印的時候,天上寂靜約有二刻。
2 我看見那站在神面前的七位天使,有七枝號賜給他們。
3 另有一位天使拿著金香爐,來站在祭壇旁邊,有許多香賜給他,要和眾聖徒的祈禱一同獻在寶座前的金壇上。
4 那香的煙和眾聖徒的祈禱從天使的手中一同升到神面前。
基督徒常常談論禱告,但我們對禱告的認識有多少呢?禱告是作為兒女的我們向天上的父的呼求,也是獻給我們的神的馨香的祭。啟示錄中記載在神的壇前,所有信徒的禱告都在祂的面前。
我們可能覺得我們的禱告沒有果效,或是我們一直都沒有看見我們所求的實現。但我們的禱告已經送達於天,神聽了、神知道、神有祂的時間與計劃。祂的意念高過我們的意念,祂的道路高過我們的道路。
Revelation 8:1-4
Christians talk a lot about prayers and we pray a lot. Do we actually know what it means to pray? It is the outpouring of children to their Father in heaven. It is the fragrance incense offer to God that lasts forever, as described in the book of Revelation.
We may feel that we don’t see the effect of prayers or we may never see what we want to see. Yet all our prayers are brought to the altar. God listens, God knows and God has His timing.
