耶利米書31章3-11節
神的小僕人
經文:
3 古時〔或作從遠方〕耶和華向以色列〔原文作我〕顯現,說:
4 以色列的民哪,〔民原文作處女〕我要再建立你,你就被建立,
5 又必在撒瑪利亞的山上,栽種葡萄園,栽種的人要享用所結的果子。
6 日子必到,以法蓮山上守望的人,必呼叫說:起來吧,
7 耶和華如此說:你們當為雅各歡樂歌唱,因萬國中為首的歡呼,
8 我必將他們從北方領來,從地極招聚,同著他們來的,有瞎子,
9 他們要哭泣而來,我要照他們懇求的引導他們,
10 列國阿,要聽耶和華的話,傳揚在遠處的海島,說:趕散以色列的,
11 因耶和華救贖了雅各,救贖他脫離比他更強之人的手。
主耶和華對那叛逆神的一群子民,仍然是寬容慈愛,祂安慰他們,
今天我們在什麼事上叛逆上帝,又在什麼事上軟弱無力?
這段經文是舊約時代神對祂子民的應許,到了新約時代,
禱告:
天父,謝謝祢在我們軟弱中看顧我們,在我們叛逆中挽回我們,
Jeremiah 31:3-11
Despite the rebellion of His people, God still assured them of His love and forgiveness. God promised to bring them back and would restore them. All the blind and lame, the expectant mothers and women in labour would be brought back together with God’s people.
God’s love is miraculous. He is forever loving and He used His love to lead and to protect us despite our stubbornness. What have we done to rebel Him and how are we struggling in our weakness? The words of God is our greatest comfort.
In weakness, we are empowered and in rebellion God restores us. Don’t take the love of God for granted.
