神的保护盾牌
你是否曾经觉得，你再也无法多做一件困难的事了？你是否思量过，自己该如何渡过接下来的几天或几个月？
神知道祂百姓的挣扎。神藉着以赛亚，坚固了被掳的、受压迫的以色列民的信心。神提醒他们回想祂过去的大能，也指出将来祂会确实地与他们同在。他们离开埃及时，红海没有淹没他们（出14），在巴比伦，有烈火的炉没有烧死但以理的朋友们（但3）。神应许说：“你是我的，”“我必与你同在。”
这段经文带来的安慰是——在我们面对各种危险和挣扎时，神不会离开我们——这既适用于群体，也适用于个人。没有什么能毁坏神所呼召的百姓，所以我们不必惧怕。
2013年夏天，我最小妹妹的去世让我感到震惊和悲痛。两周后，我被诊断出患有黑素瘤，需要手术治疗，随后出现许多并发症。有段时间，我觉得悲伤的浪潮和恐惧的火焰太大了，我无法应付。但神并没有让我被冲走，或被烧焦。
全能的神应许自己做保护我们的盾牌，使我们穿越那恶者的火箭却不受伤害。
自有永有的神，当生活让我感觉无法承受，我被问题打击时，求你帮助我来信靠你。谢谢你看我为宝贵，你的爱是永恒之爱。阿们。
以赛亚书 43:1-5
1雅各啊，创造你的耶和华，以色列啊，造成你的那位，现在如此说：“你不要害怕，因为我救赎了你；我曾提你的名召你，你是属我的。
2你从水中经过，我必与你同在；你趟过江河，水必不漫过你；你从火中行过，必不被烧，火焰也不着在你身上。
3因为我是耶和华你的神，是以色列的圣者，你的救主。我已经使埃及做你的赎价，使古实和西巴代替你。
4因我看你为宝为尊，又因我爱你，所以我使人代替你，使列邦人替换你的生命。
5不要害怕，因我与你同在。我必领你的后裔从东方来，又从西方招聚你。
God’s Shield Of Protection
"When you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned." — Isaiah 43:2
Have you ever felt that you just couldn’t handle one more difficult thing? Have you wondered how you will get through the next days and months?
God knows the struggles of his people. Through Isaiah, God assured Israel as they were oppressed in exile. God reminded them of his power in the past, and God pointed to his sure presence for the future. The Red Sea had not swept over them as they left Egypt (Exodus 14), and in Babylon a fiery furnace would not burn Daniel’s friends (Daniel 3). God promised, “You are mine,” and “I will be with you.”
The comfort in this passage—that God never lets go as we face all kinds of dangers and struggles—is for God’s people both as a group and as individuals. Nothing can destroy the people whom God has called, so we need not be afraid.
In the summer of 2013 I was shocked and saddened by the death of my youngest sister. Two weeks later, I was diagnosed with melanoma that required surgery, followed by numerous complications. For a while it felt as though the waves of grief and flames of fear were too big to handle. But God did not allow me to be swept away or burned.
The almighty God personally promises to be our shield of protection as we navigate the fiery darts of the devil.
Great I AM, help me to trust you when life feels overwhelming and I am pummeled with problems. Thank you that I am precious to you and that your love is eternal. Amen.
