The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
Rock 就是不變的標準,可以作強有力的基礎,支撐起任何依靠祂的人。我們的人生大廈完全可以放心地建造在祂之上,祂必然拯救我們脫離各樣的暴風驟雨的摧殘。
18:10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.
18:11 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.
18:12 At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.
18:27 For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.
18:28 For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.
這兩段話表明,神對那些不認識祂的人來說就是漆黑一片。但是對那些心裡認識祂的人來講 就如同照亮道路的燈光。 我們因為明白神的話 就看清那些 世人所看不清的道路。
18:43 Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.
這裡可以看出,喜歡爭論的人顯然不是好品性,神喜歡溫順謙卑的人。祂將一個放羊娃 放在世界的最頂端。
19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
19:2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
19:3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
19:4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
既然沒有說話,沒有聲音,天空和每天的生活又是如何顯明造物主的知識呢? 我們只要聯想到神的話造就所有,就不難看出萬物的信息都在通過光 向人們訴說。
21:8 Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.
21:9 Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.
這句話說明,神通過讓敵人內部鬥爭 來摧毀他們。 在以色列多次面對強大的敵人的同時,當他們求高神,依靠神,神就讓那些烏合之眾自亂陣腳,如同烈火一般子既然燒起來。
