冬至的守候

Micah 7:5 Do not rely on a friend; do not trust a companion! Don't even share secrets with the one who lies in your arms!Micah 7:6 For a son thinks his father is a fool, a daughter challenges her mother, and a daughter-in-law her mother-in-law; a man's enemies are his own servants.

这几节经文描述和马太福音末世描述非常相像。朋友相卖,家人彼此不能相信。弥迦名字的本意就是"谁是神",在末世一切的混乱和灾难当中,人不免问谁是神,神在哪里。

但是经文马上告诉我们:Micah 7:7 But I will keep watching for the LORD; I will wait for the God who delivers me. My God will hear my lament.

我的心等候神,胜似守夜的等候天亮!耶稣且在福音书中应许,为了选民的缘故,这些时候将会缩短(太22:24)。

今日祷告:主耶和華阿,你若究察罪孽,誰能站得住呢。 但在你有赦免之恩,要叫人敬畏你。我等候耶和華,我的心等候。我也仰望他的話。我的心等候主,勝於守夜的等候天亮,勝於守夜的等候天亮。(詩 130:3-6)
