經文:哈巴谷書第三章
鑰節:「然而,我要因耶和華歡欣,因我的上帝喜樂。」(3:18)
提要

        第三章是哈巴谷的禱告詩,可配合弦樂器來唱,其韻律是用「流離歌」(3:1、19下)。哈巴谷很害怕上帝要用殘忍粗暴的迦勒底人去審判猶大的罪。這個消息使得他跪下來祈求,因為迦勒底人是以驍勇善戰殘暴著稱的。哈巴谷很清楚上帝對猶大的審判所意味的,不只是很多人要被殺,也指出很多人要被擄。為此,第二節他請求上帝,在他們的苦難和流亡中,仍顯出慈愛和祂的大能,解救他們,如從前救他們脫離埃及為奴之家一樣(3:2)。

        3到15節用很鮮活的詩體描述他所看到的上帝。他看到上帝從西乃山一帶而來(過去以色列民在那裡因背叛上帝而受罰)。上帝的大能和榮耀如同日光充滿在天地之中(3:3~4)。祂每次執行審判時,總會丈量其行動的範圍(3:6上)。上帝的忿怒如此強大,有時是以瘟疫行之,有時成地形的大變動。地震的頻繁,甚至影響到海洋,並有新河川形成(3:6~9)。上帝做這些事的終極目的,無非要把救恩帶給祂的百姓。在10、11節,哈巴引用過去的一些大奇蹟,如使紅海乾涸和日月停止(14:22;書10:12~14),來求上帝再度行使奇蹟,解救祂的百姓,像從前所做的一樣。

        下面他繼續述說上帝大能的作為,諸如上帝行在百姓的前頭,趕散邪惡的列國,賜應許之地給以色列。哈巴谷相信,上帝會再度拯救祂的百姓--所謂的「受膏者」,也就是那些公義的餘民。他們真心奉獻給上帝,故是「真以色列人」(羅9:6)。

        哈巴谷用過去式述說他所看見的異象,但大多數都可能尚未應驗。所謂「打破惡人家長的頭」,也許是指要拿掉巴比倫王的權利,還要使他的土地荒蕪(3:12~13)。14、15節意義無法確定,但可確定的是上帝的能力,必要救義人脫離那些惡人之手。

        哈巴谷承認,當他聽到巴比倫入侵的消息時,是頂害怕的。不過,這種情緒也是很自然的。因著上帝的計劃實現,他倒安息下來,並讓上帝來照管自己(3:16),他知道大軍壓境會蹂躪他所愛的這塊土地,會使物產極度匱乏。但他還是會堅持在上帝裡面而喜樂(3:17~18),像保羅所說的:「萬事互相效力,叫愛上帝的人得益處。」(羅8:28)哈巴谷已知道,無論是生是死,他都相信上帝的拯救,至終,他仍是一位得勝者。因為他是憑信而活,他可以無慮的說:「使我的腳快如母鹿的蹄,又使我穩行在高處(指救恩)。」他十分確信在上帝的榮耀中,必有得勝和喜樂。

禱告

        主我們感謝您,因您說「萬事互相效力,叫愛上帝的人得益處。」(羅8:28)即使環境看來很黯淡,我們仍要信靠您,因您掌權直到永遠。奉主耶穌基督的名,阿們!

Scriptures:Read Habakkuk 3
Key Verse:"Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation."(Habakkuk 3:18)
Overview

        Chapter three is a prayer of Habakkuk that was sung to the accompaniment of stringed instruments, and it is thought that the metrical structure was called "Shigionoth" (3:1, 19b). Habakkuk expresses his fear after hearing the Lord's answer that He would use the violent and ruthless Chaldeans to execute His judgment on Judah for her sins. This news brought him to his knees. By that time the Chaldeans were notorious for their cruelty when they conquered a nation. Although Habakkuk realized that God's judgment would be just, he dreaded the thought of a Babylonian invasion, for he loved his people and his nation. Habakkuk knew that God's judgment upon Judah would not only mean that many would be killed, but that there would also be a captivity. Therefore, his prayer in verse two could possibly be understood as a request for God to show His mercy and display His mighty power in the midst of their tribulation and exile. Perhaps God would bring their deliverance, as He did when He freed them from bondage in Egypt. Habakkuk also prayed that God's mighty deeds on behalf of His people would be made known, that the Lord would be honoured and glorified (3:2).

        In verses 3 through 15, Habakkuk gives a poetic and vivid description of his vision of God. He saw the Lord arising from the area of the Sinai, where the children of Israel had previously been punished for their rebellion against God. The Lord's majesty and glory filled the sky and the earth with great brightness (3:3-4). He did not execute His judgment without first stopping to consider His course of action (3:6a). With omnipotent power, His wrath brought plagues (3:5) and changed the earth's topography. Habakkuk's description seems to refer to many earthquakes — quakes so severe that they even affected the seas and formed new rivers. His questions about whether God was angry with the rivers and the sea is rhetorical (3:6-9). The writer desires his readers to conclude that God's wrath was rather upon mankind and that His ultimate purpose in it all was to bring salvation to His people. In verses 10 and 11 Habakkuk may be alluding to the past miracles of deliverance that God performed for His people in drying up the Red Sea and in staying the sun and moon (Ex. 14:22; Josh. 10:12-14). Habakkuk's point is that if God was able to do such miraculous things for their deliverance in the past, He was surely able to do it again.

        In continuing to tell of God's mighty deeds, such as the way He went before His people, cast out the wicked nations, and gave Israel the Promised Land, Habakkuk would have encouraged the people of Judah and given them hope that God would once again bring salvation to His people. Habakkuk seems to specify that God's people are those called "anointed", namely the righteous remnant who have been truly consecrated to God — the true Israel (Rom. 9:6).

        Since Habakkuk saw the vision, he speaks of it in the past tense, but it is possible that much of it was yet to be fulfilled. When he said that God "struck the head from the house of the wicked", he may have been referring to what God would do to the king of Babylon in taking all his power from him and making his land desolate (3:12-13). The exact meaning of verses 14 and 15 is hard to ascertain, but it is certain that Habakkuk is describing the power of God to deliver the righteous out of the hands of the wicked who seek to do them harm.

        Habakkuk admits that his reaction to the news of Babylon's coming is that of fear, which was a natural emotion in light of such circumstances. Yet he was confident that at the time of the Babylonian invasion of Judah, he would have rest in knowing that the will of God was being accomplished and that he was in God's care (3:16). He was aware that when the huge enemy army would trample through his beloved land, it would be devastated and made desolate of both people and goods; yet Habakkuk firmly resolved that through it all, he would continue to rejoice in the Lord (3:17-18), for he knew, as did Paul, that "all things work together for good to those who love God" (Rom. 8:28). In times of trouble, all believers can rise above the circumstances, as did Habakkuk, and stand firm in the promises of God. Habakkuk had come to understand that whether he lived or died at the hands of the Babylonians, he could still trust God for his salvation, and he would be the ultimate victor over the enemy. Since Habakkuk was living by faith, he could say without a doubt: "He will make my feet like deer's feet, and He will make me walk on my high hills [to tread the heights of salvation]"; this may have expressed the victory and joy that Habakkuk was sure to have when he would be with the Lord in glory.

Prayer

        We thank You today Lord, for Your Word that says, "all things work together for good to those who love God" (Rom. 8:28). So we will trust in You, even when our circumstances look grim. You are in control!
