你的創造者,必能讓你在孤單難捱的黑夜中高聲歌唱-6月7日

「造我的神在那裡?祂使人夜間歌唱。」-約伯記35:10
有否經歷過輾轉難眠的夜晚,翻來覆去,等待隔日的黎明?

下次無法入睡時,你可以懇求聖靈,使你專注思想神-你的創造者,祂必能在孤單難捱的黑夜中,令你高聲歌唱。

  • 你經歷的黑夜是痛喪親友嗎?
在這樣的時刻裡,神會就近你的身旁,撫慰你的哀痛,並告訴你那位離世的親友如今正在祂的身旁。

他的靈已加入了從人間釋放的千萬群眾中,他已蒙召進入另一個更高貴、更自由的使命裡。當這樣的思想撫慰心靈時,豈不讓你不禁高歌嗎?

  • 你經歷的黑夜是令人喪志、灰心、腦海中或真實裡的挫折嗎?
沒有人了解你,朋友也指責你;但神卻要在這時候親近你,賜你一首黑夜的歌、一首盼望之歌,一首能和祂的旨意應和的深沈之歌。

所以,隨時準備好自己,唱出創造主所恩賜的黑夜之歌吧!-選

"Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night" (Job 35:10).
Do you have sleepless nights, tossing on the hot pillow, and watching for the first glint of dawn? Ask the Divine Spirit to enable you to fix your thoughts on God your Maker, and believe that He can fill those lonely, dreary hours with song.

Is yours the night of bereavement? Is it not often at such a time that God draws near, and assures the mourner that the Lord has need of the departed loved one, and called "the eager, earnest spirit to stand in the bright throng of the invisible, liberated, radiant, active, intent on some high mission"; and as the thought enters, is there not the beginning of a song?

Is yours the night of discouragement and fancied or actual failure? No one understands you, your friends reproach; but your Maker draws nigh, and gives you a song--a song of hope, the song which is harmonious with the strong, deep music of His providence. Be ready to sing the songs that your Maker gives. --Selected
