双语灵修（葛培理牧师）：2月27日 神必看顾

神必看顾

“我要论到耶和华说：他是我的避难所，是我的山寨，是我的神，是我所倚靠的。”

诗篇91:2

避难所就是避免受到伤害的安全的地方。山寨就是不可攻破的堡垒。马丁路德写过一首美妙的诗歌：

“上主是我坚固保障，庄严雄峻永坚强；上主使我安稳前航，助我乘风破骇浪。”

​他对神的大能和保护陈述得实在太棒了。

这个神关爱你我吗？上帝已经差遣他的爱子耶稣基督为我们死了，我们还需要其他更有力的证明吗？

最近在某个国家有两个贩毒分子因为贩毒被施行了绞刑。设想一下，就在他们上绞架的时候，有一个人跑过来说，要代他们受死，让他们回家与家人团聚，这两个罪人会是什么感觉？岂不是要欢天喜地了？

神就是这样对我们的。他如此爱我们，甚至在我们还是罪人、仍然悖逆的时候，祂就差遣祂的独生子替我们而死，承受本该是我们应受的刑罚。神不断地供应我们。他预备我们日常的需要，救我们脱离凶恶，只要我们不远离他。祂的看顾保守无时无刻都不会离开我们。为什么呢？祂的儿子为我们舍了。上帝如此爱我们，还有更好的证明吗？

今日祷告：

天父，我知道你顾念我，爱我。你就是我的避难所，是我的依靠。感谢你，我的主。奉耶稣的名，阿们。

DOES GOD CARE

I will say of the Lord,He is my refuge and my fortress:my God;in him will trust.Psalm 91:2

 A refuge is a place which is safely out of harm’s way.A fortress is a fortified building that is virtually impenetrable by conventional means.

Martin Luther wrote that wonderful hymn which says,“A mighty fortress is our God;a bulwark never failing.Our helper He amidst the flood;of mortal ills prevailing.“What a statement about the magnificent power and protection of God!

Does God care for you and me?What greater proof do we need than that God sent His Son,Jesus Christ,to die in our place?

Recently two men were hanged for possession of drugs in a country where capital punishment has been invoked for such crimes.Imagine what these men might have felt had another man rushed in just before the nooses were placed around their necks and offered to take their place,freeing them to go home to their families.What an incredible joy and sense of relief would have come over those condemned men.

God has done precisely that for us.He cared so much for us that even while we were yet sinners and still rebellious,He sent His only Son to die in our place,suffering the penalty that rightly was ours.And God keeps on giving.He meets our daily physical needs.He delivers us from evil when we stay close to Him.And there is never a time when we are separated from His care and concern.How could there be?His Son died for us.Can you think of a better reason why God would care for us?

Pray for the Day:

Father,You care for me.I know that You love me.You are my refuge.In You I trust.Thank You,Lord;in Jesus’Name,Amen.
