提要
古時候,城牆與城是共存共榮的。以耶路撒冷為例,重建後的聖殿金碧輝煌的聳立著,但城牆卻是一片廢墟、一堆瓦礫。尼希米,這位波斯國王的酒政,上帝心目中重築城牆的人選,經過四個月為國家、為同胞的殷殷代禱之後,終於發現時機來臨了!肩負著重整家園的藍圖與重任,尼希米懇求國王幫助——不想得到的幫助竟超過他所求的!經過一次私下對耶路撒冷的視察之後,尼希米鼓舞同胞士氣說:「天上的上帝必使我們亨通。」(2:20) |

每日與主同行
注意你的房子,一定會發現有兩種角落,一種是凹進去的角落(你可以坐進去),一種是凸出來的角落(你必須繞道而行),想一想你的禱告生活,也可以分成兩種禱告:一種是方便的禱告(如:「主啊,請祢補足這個缺口」)。另一種是奉獻的禱告(如:「主啊,請使用我補足這個缺口」)。
我們可以從尼希米的榜樣學到功課,不要只求上帝使環境順遂,而要祈求在任何景況中預備自己合乎主用,在此過程當中,必有一些重要的功課待你努力學習。找個安靜的角落,細讀一章四至十一節中尼希米獻身的禱告,讓這個禱告也成為你的禱告。 |

金言
禱告並非讓我們的希望降服在上帝面前,而是讓我們自己降服在上帝面前。 |

5/6/2013 Construction of the Walls |
Scriptures: | Nehemiah 1-2 |
Heart of the Passage: | Nehemiah 1:1-2:8 |
Overview
In ancient times, a city was only as secure as its walls. In the case of Jerusalem, the temple stands in glistening splendor, but the walls lie in ruin and rubble. Enter Nehemiah, cupbearer to the king of Persia and God's choice to rebuild the city's defenses. After four months of prayerful intercession for his people and homeland, Nehemiah finds his opportune moment. Armed with both a blueprint and a burden, Nehemiah shares his request with the king—and receives even more than he asked for! After personally inspecting Jerusalem's precincts, Nehemiah rallies his countrymen with the faith-inspired cry, "The God of heaven, he will prosper us" (2:20). |

Your Daily Walk
Look around your house and you will discover two kinds of corners: inside corners (the kind you sit in) and outside corners (the kind you walk around). Think of that as a picture of your prayer life. There are two kinds of prayers you can pray: comfortable prayers ("Lord, meet that need") and commitment prayers ("Lord, use me to help meet that need").
Learn a lesson from the life of Nehemiah. Don't pray to be comfortable in your circumstances; pray to be available and ready to do the will of God in every situation. In (he process, some mighty important walls may get built! Find a quiet corner as you read Nehemiah's prayer of commitment in 1:4-11. Then make it yours! |
