經文:詩篇第一○五、一○六篇
鑰節:「祂記念祂的約,直到永遠……。」(105:8)
提要

        詩篇一○五和一○六篇,兩者是一組。前者強調上帝的奇妙與恩典的作為。後者則描述以色列人對上帝忘恩負義和背逆為主。這兩篇詩篇都可以用在會所中。詩人不斷地提醒以色列人,上帝是如何恩待他們,然而也警告他們,不可像他們祖先一樣對上帝忘恩負義。這篇詩的寫成時間也許是第一次被擄回歸耶路撒冷的時候(106:46~47;拉9:9;作者可能是以斯拉或者希米)。

        詩篇第一○五篇開始時,就詳細描述讚美耶和華是什麼意思(105:1~5)。這一詩篇讚美耶和華,說祂如何信實地實踐了與亞伯拉罕所定的約。它的對象是亞伯拉罕的後裔(105:6),也是接受上帝約的選民,但是它也涉及外邦的信徒,因為他們因著信也成為亞伯拉罕的後裔(加3:7;羅9:6~8;約1:12~13)。我們可以從以色列歷史中了解更多有關上帝及祂品格方面的教訓(林前10:6、11)。上帝信守祂與亞伯拉罕定的約,帶領他們進入應許之地(105:8~11;創13:15~16;15:18;申7:8~9),祂也實踐應許,從亞伯拉罕的後裔中派遣彌賽亞。因此,今天事奉上帝及愛上帝的我們還要相信,祂也同樣會對我們守信,因為我們也是祂的選民。

        詩人強調他們歷史中的積極面,說明上帝如何看顧祂的百姓(比較申32:8~14)。祂責備列國諸王,可是祂還是在大自然中運作保護祂的百姓(105:14~16)。這一詩篇的重點乃是上帝拯救祂的百姓脫離埃及地為奴之家;為了使祂的百姓自由,證明祂是他們的唯一真神,祂降下了災難懲罰埃及人(105:26~36;106:8)。祂帶領祂的百姓歡樂而出(105:43);以及祂在曠野中施行很多神蹟來帶領、保護,及維持祂的百姓。祂從天上降下嗎哪,也使石頭裡流出水來,養活祂的百姓;這兩個神蹟都象徵耶穌帶來的靈糧(比較林前10:4;約6:31~35、48~51;7:37~38)。

        不過,享有上帝約的特權之後,繼之而來的則是義務和責任。因此,以色列的兒女要敬拜祂及順服祂(105:45;申4:4、8);但是與上帝的信實相比(詩105篇),我們在詩篇第一○六篇中看到,他們並沒有信守上帝的約。詩人從悔改的心裡說出以色列歷史的消極面。他們從開始就背叛了上帝,忘了上帝的恩典與神蹟,大起慾心,抱怨上帝,試探上帝。他們抱怨,並有自私的慾望,但上帝賜下鵪鶉來滿足他們;然而由於他們的放縱,他們的心靈卻變成軟弱(106:14~15)。今天,那些重物質的人也會有這種情形,並且會耽於世界的奢侈享受;他們的心靈得不到靈性的養分。

        他們不斷地對耶和華發怒,但是由於上帝的慈愛,祂從來沒有使他們受到應得的懲罰。當他們犯了拜金牛之罪時:「如此將人們榮耀的主,換為吃草之牛的像」(106:20),上帝卻懲罰了他們,祂不會與偶像共享本為祂獨有的榮耀(比較賽4:8;羅1:23)。偶像會以各種方式出現,甚至在今天也很流行,所以上帝的百姓應該警覺,決不可榮耀任何人及事,使他們高過上帝。

        上帝的百姓要在生活中反映出上帝的品格與光,也要在生活中表現出聖潔、純潔,及無瑕的德行,然後他們才能向異教徒見證上帝的偉大。不過,實際情形剛好相反。異教徒影響了上帝的百姓,而且變成了他們的網羅。他們犯了可怕的罪,而且迦南人就是犯了這罪才為上帝丟棄。他們不僅污染了自己,也污染了那地(106:37~39),所以上帝使他們被仇敵所擄離鄉背井,然而上帝還是再一次聽他們的呼求,並且賜給他們本不該有的慈愛和憐憫(也即但以理、以斯帖、以斯拉、及尼希米)。詩人在結束他所作冗長認罪時,再度祈求上帝繼續憐憫他們,並且使他們復原。誠如歷史例證所證明,耶和華上帝有用不完的憐憫,甚至也會用它來澆灌我們這一代,所以我們也應像詩人那樣,感謝上帝的看顧。

禱告

        父啊,感謝您,我們用愚蠢的驕傲對待您時,您依然對我們如此忍耐。主啊,求您幫助我們打碎生活中的任何偶像,因為它們破壞了您與我們的關係。但願沒有一樣東西會妨礙我們每天與您同行。奉主耶穌基督聖名,阿們!

Scriptures:Read Psalms 105&106
Key Verse:"He has remembered His covenant forever..."(Psalm 105:8)
Overview

        Psalms 105 and 106 are historical psalms that go together as a pair. In the former, God's marvelous and gracious deeds are emphasized. In the latter, Israel's ingratitude and disobedience are the focus. These two historical psalms would have been for congregational use. The people of Israel would always be reminded of God's goodness to them, yet warned not to behave disgracefully as had their forefathers. It was probably written during the period of the exile, when the first of the captives were returning to Jerusalem (106:46-47; Ezra 9:9; Ezra or Nehemiah are possible candidates for authorship).

        Psalm 105 begins by a detailed description of what it means to praise the Lord, which includes speaking about Him as a witness to others (105:1-5). This psalm praises God for His faithfulness in fulfilling His promise to Abraham. It is addressed to the "seed of Abraham" (105:6), the chosen people who are recipients of His covenant, yet it is relevant to Gentile believers as well who, through faith in Jesus, are truly the sons of Abraham (Galatians 3:7; Romans 9:6-8; John 1:12,13). We can learn more about God and His character from the history of the children of Israel (1 Cor. 10:6, 11). God was faithful to His covenant with Abraham in bringing them into the Promised Land (105:8-11; Gen. 13:15-16; 15:18; Deut. 7:8,9), just as He was faithful to fulfill His promise of sending the Messiah from the seed of Abraham. Therefore, we who serve and love Him today can be confident that He will always remain faithful to us, His elect, and bring us into our eternal inheritance.

        The psalmist paints the positive side of their history in showing how God providentially cared for His people (cf. Deut. 32:8-14). He rebuked nations and kings, and even worked in nature to preserve His people (105:14-16). The main emphasis is God's great deliverance of His people from bondage in Egypt when He sent the horrible plagues against the Egyptians so His people might go free and that He might prove Himself as the only true God (105:26-36; 106:8). With great joy, He brought them out (105:43), and with many miracles, God guided, protected, and sustained His people in the wilderness. He provided bread from heaven (manna) and water from the Rock, both of which symbolized the spiritual sustenance that Jesus brings (cf. 1 Cor. 10:4; John 6:31-35, 48-51; 7:37,38). The climax of the account is when God fulfilled His promise by giving them Canaan, in which they enjoyed the fruit of the Gentile's labour (105:44; Josh. 24:13).

        With the privileges of the covenant, however, come an obligation and a responsibility. The children of Israel were to worship Him and obey Him (105:45; Deut. 4:4-8); but, in contrast to God's faithfulness (Psalm 105), we see in Psalm 106 that they were not faithful in keeping the covenant. The psalmist speaks from a repentant heart, showing the negative side of Israel's history. From the onset they rebelled, forgot His mercies and miracles, lusted, murmured, and tested God. They complained and had selfish desires, which God satisfied by sending the quail; yet because of their indulgence, they had leanness in their souls (106:14,15). This can happen today to people who are materialistic and set their hearts on the luxuries of this world; their souls suffer malnourishment.

        They continually angered the Lord, but because of his great mercy, they were never punished to the extent they deserved. When they sinned with the golden calf, "they changed their glory" for an idol! (106:20). God is a jealous God. He will not share the glory that is due Him alone (cf. Isa. 42:8; Rom. 1:23). Idolatry takes many forms that are still prevalent today, and God's people must guard that they never glorify anything or anyone above God.

        The people of God were to reflect His character and His light and be holy, pure, and undefiled, that they might be witnesses for Him to the heathen. However, the opposite happened. The heathen influenced them and became a snare to them. They fell into the same horrible sins for which the Canaanites in the land had been cast out. They became defiled and the land was polluted (106:37-39), so God cast them out as well. They went into the Captivity, but still God heard their cries and showed them unmerited favour and mercy (e.g. Daniel, Esther, Ezra, and Nehemiah). The psalmist concludes his lengthy confession with a request for continued mercy and restoration. Truly, as the historical examples prove, our Lord is abundant in longsuffering mercy, which He still shows, even to this generation, and for it we, like the psalmist, must remember to give Him thanks.

Prayer

        Thank You, Father, for being so patient with us when we grieve Your heart through our vain pursuits and foolish pride. Help us to tear down any idols in our lives that have taken priority over our relationship. May nothing hinder our daily walk with You.
