W2 2013-06-04 (詩篇66-68)
66:8 萬民哪，你們當稱頌我們的 神，使人得聽讚美他的聲音。
66:9 他使我們的性命存活，也不叫我們的腳搖動。
66:10 神啊，你曾試驗我們，熬煉我們，如熬煉銀子一樣。
66:11 你使我們進入網羅，把重擔放在我們的身上。
66:12 你使人坐車軋我們的頭；我們經過水火，你卻使我們到豐富之地。
默想: 我們的生命不都是順境，但是詩人對上帝有一個深刻的體會，那就是「他使我們的性命存活，也不叫我們的腳搖動」。這就是詩人對上帝的確信，雖然我們會遇到許多的困難，挫折、失敗、打擊。但是上帝卻不在最艱難之際丟棄我們，也不是以這些患難、艱苦來打擊、責罰我們。相反的，詩人將這些看成是正面來的考驗，是上帝透過這些經驗，使我們被熬煉，如同銀子一樣。雖然在我們的生命中，有落入網羅，承擔重擔，我們被人逼壓、擊打到了似乎絕望困境，生命也如同經歷水火一般地垂危，一切的一切看起來都似乎快絕了指望。但是詩人卻突然宣告，「你卻使我們到豐富之地」
是的，一個有信仰的人，深知道，我們的上帝是信實的、是恩典的，祂不是讓我們白白受苦，而是為了要造就我們到一個不一樣的境地。這就是我們的宣信。
