提要
在這六篇詩篇中呈現出幾種不同的角色。祂是造物主(詩19)、是援手(詩20)、是君王(詩21)、是被釘在十字架上的主(詩22)、是牧者(詩23)、更是榮耀的上帝(詩24)。在每一個角色中,上帝對跟隨祂、尊祂為上帝、為君王、為牧者和至高者的百姓,都有一個相關的責任。 |

每日與主同行
聖經中一些最有名的人都是牧人,你能舉出三位嗎? 。約瑟是個牧羊人(創37:2),和十一個哥哥照顧父親的羊群,約瑟不知道,上帝預備他日後能「牧養」埃及帝國渡過長達七年的飢荒。
摩西是個牧人。在米甸終日與畏縮懶惰的羊群為伍,長達四十年,他並不知道,不久就要負起「牧養教導」的重任,帶領常常裹足不前的以色列國。
大衛也是個牧人。少年時代就餵養父親的羊,他也不知道,很快就受膏成為上帝百姓的「牧者」。
對大衛來說,在詩篇二十三篇中,把上帝比喻為一位慈祥細心的牧者,是最自然不過的,因為大衛深知牧人的責任。試著用你自己的話和你最了解的比喻改寫詩篇二十三篇。比如:「上帝是我的上司,我的導師,我的牧師,我的教練,我的父親。」何妨把你的創作寄來,我們樂於一讀!

默想
三位一體的牧者之歌
詩篇二十二、二十三、二十四篇在上帝是牧者的主題上,形成一首三重奏。詩篇二十二篇中,祂是一位為群羊捨命的好牧人(約10:11):詩篇二十三篇裡,祂是一位引導和供應的大牧人(來13:20):到了詩篇二十四篇,祂則是一位牧長,一位群羊的至高上帝(彼前5:4)。祂也是你的牧者嗎?

Your Daily Walk
Some of the most noted men in Scripture were shepherds. Can you think of three? Joseph was a shepherd (Genesis 37:2). Along with his 11 brothers, he tended his father's flocks. Unknown to Joseph, God was preparing him for the day when he would "shepherd" the nation of Egypt through seven years of famine.
Moses was a shepherd. For 40 years he coped with balky sheep in Midian, not knowing that soon he would be putting his "pastoral education'' to work leading a balky nation of Israelites.
David was a shepherd. As a young lad he nurtured his father's flocks, unaware that soon he would be anointed to "shepherd" God's people.
For David, likening God to a loving, caring shepherd in Psalm 23 was natural because David knew firsthand the role of a shepherd. Try paraphrasing Psalm 23 in your own words, using a metaphor of which you have firsthand knowledge. For example: "The Lord is my Boss ... my Teacher ... my Pastor ,., my Coach ... my Father." Or do more than one and creatively explore several aspects of God's work in your life.

Insight
A Trinity of Shepherd Psalms —
Psalms 22, 23, and 24 form a trio of songs about the Lord our Shepherd. In Psalm 22 He is the Good Shepherd who gives His life for the sheep (John 10:11); in Psalm 23 He is the Great Shepherd who guides and provides (Hebrews 13:20); and in Psalm 24 He is the Chief Shepherd, the sovereign Lord of the sheep (1 Peter 5:4), By the way, is He your Shepherd? |
Adage
God watches and weeds us, and continues His labor upon us, until He brings us to the end of His promise. |
