十一月二十四日

經文: 「耶和華必顯威嚴與我們同在，當作江河寬潤之地。」（以賽亞書卅三：21）

大河流經之地，兩岸總是土地肥美，物產富饒，穀穫豐盛，農產雲集。上帝對祂的教會而言，也是豐豐富富的滿有恩典、有真理，有什麼是祂無法供應的？「在這山上萬軍之耶和華必為萬民用肥甘設擺筵席。」（賽廿五：6）若你仍覺缺乏，那是因為你沒有求。

寬濶江河此處也意味著商賈買賣，互通有無。藉著此河，我們可以通向過去，得著加略山巔的救恩，得著亙古以來就預定揀選的福份，得著新約所帶來的恩典；同時，藉著此河，我們也可以通往未來，時刻思想天堂樂境，以及永生的福樂。藉著榮耀救主，我們可以與天使有來往，更重要的是，能與永生上帝有溝通關係。

寬濶之河也代表著安全含義。在古代有所謂的護城河，用來防禦敵人入侵。上帝也像一道護城河一般，圍繞著教會，不讓撒旦入侵，雖然祂極想跨越雷池，但上帝在教會做鎮，撒旦也只好望洋興歎，無法逾越一步。

所以，弟兄姐妹們，不要怕，因為上帝與我們同住，祂昔在、今在、永在，從不改變，祂是得勝者。撒旦已被踩在腳下，祂永遠無法勝過我們，因上帝是我們的護城河。


Morning, November 24

Scripture: "The glorious Lord will be unto us a place of broad rivers and streams."(Isaiah 33:21)

Broad rivers and streams produce fertility, and abundance in the land. Places near broad rivers are remarkable for the variety of their plants and their plentiful harvests. God is all this to his Church. Having God she has abundance. What can she ask for that he will not give her? What want can she mention which he will not supply? "In this mountain shall the Lord of Hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things." Want ye the bread of life? It drops like manna from the sky. Want ye refreshing streams? The rock follows you, and that Rock is Christ. If you suffer any want it is your own fault; if you are straitened you are not straitened in him, but in your own bowels. Broad rivers and streams also point to commerce. Our glorious Lord is to us a place of heavenly merchandise. Through our Redeemer we have commerce with the past; the wealth of Calvary, the treasures of the covenant, the riches of the ancient days of election, the stores of eternity, all come to us down the broad stream of our gracious Lord. We have commerce, too, with the future. What galleys, laden to the water's edge, come to us from the millennium! What visions we have of the days of heaven upon earth! Through our glorious Lord we have commerce with angels; communion with the bright spirits washed in blood, who sing before the throne; nay, better still, we have fellowship with the Infinite One. Broad rivers and streams are specially intended to set forth the idea of security. Rivers were of old a defence. Oh! beloved, what a defence is God to his Church! The devil cannot cross this broad river of God. How he wishes he could turn the current, but fear not, for God abideth immutably the same. Satan may worry, but he cannot destroy us; no galley with oars shall invade our river, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.
