神有多伟大呢?

“他们看见耶和华的作为,并他在深水中的奇事。因他一吩咐,狂风就起来,海中的波浪也扬起。” - 诗 107:24-25

在今天,轮船可算是人手建造的最大的移动装置。在2020年11月30日,ONE Apus号 — 一艘大如一个城市街区的巨形货柜船 — 在日本海岸航行时遭遇狂风大浪,结果有1800个货柜从船上掉到水里,船上还有很多货柜也被压毁了。尽管这艘船是如此巨大,但和海上的巨浪相比,却仍然是微不足道和脆弱不堪的。

我们应该惧怕大海的威力,然而我们更应当畏惧那位风和浪的创造主。

今天经文中的船员看到了神的能力。诗篇107篇描述了若干关于人遭遇患难时看到神大能的例子,例如在旷野荒地漂流的人、被流放和服劳役的囚犯、因悖逆而患上致命疾病的人、和在海上贸易的商旅。他们对自己的生命已经绝望了,然而他们却看见神的大能,因为神拯救了他们。那位吩咐波浪扬起的神,也是“从他们的祸患中”领他们出来的神。神是宇宙至高无上的主宰;衪创造了我们的世界、并且护理保守着它。

这篇诗篇颂扬神的大能,它引领我们以惊叹和崇敬的心来尊荣衪,因为我们知道衪爱护和看顾我们。我们是应该为此受到激励、并为神的奇妙大工来敬拜祂的。

祷告

超乎万有的神,你是一切受造之物的君王,我们是你所造的子民。今天求你让我们看到你的奇妙大工和你对受造之物的看顾。阿们。

诗篇 107:23-26

23在海上坐船,在大水中经理事务的,
24他们看见耶和华的作为,并他在深水中的奇事。
25因他一吩咐,狂风就起来,海中的波浪也扬起。
26他们上到天空,下到海底,他们的心因患难便消化。

How Great Is God?

"They saw the works of the Lord, his wonderful deeds in the deep. For he spoke and stirred up a tempest that lifted high the waves." - Psalm 107:24-25

英语音频 English Audio

Ships today are the largest moving objects that people have built. On November 30, 2020, the ONE Apus—a mega container ship the size of a city block—was sailing in stormy seas off the coast of Japan and lost 1,800 containers overboard. Many more lay crushed on the deck of the ship. It was a massive ship, and yet it was tiny and vulnerable compared to the mighty waves of a storm at sea.

We are right to fear the awesome power of the ocean. But we should fear even more the Lord, who created the wind and the waves.

The seafarers in our text saw the mighty power of God. Psalm 107 gives several examples of people who were in difficult situations and saw the power of God. People in desert wastelands, prisoners in exile and slavery, rebels with deadly diseases, and merchants at sea. All despaired for their lives, but they saw God’s power and he rescued them. The same God who stirred up the waves also brought these people “out of their distress.” God is the sovereign Lord of the universe; he created our world and sustains it.

This psalm celebrates the power of God. It should lead us to fear God in awe and wonder, knowing that he loves and cares for us. It should especially leads us to worship God for his wonderful deeds.

Prayer

Sovereign Lord, you are King over all creation. We are the people you have created. Show us today your wonderful deeds, your care of creation. Amen.
