經文: 「祂必救你脫捕烏人的網羅。」(詩篇九十一：3)

這經節有兩層意思：第一，若你已被捕，上帝能釋放，拯救出來；第二，若你尚未掉進去，上帝能保守你，免於落入陷阱。上帝如何來釋放，或保守？上帝常用不如意的事臨到我們，做為管教的杖，免得信徒迷迷糊糊，耽於罪中之樂而不自知，終於走上滅亡之路。有時候，上帝則用聖經的話，來提醒、堅固信徒的心，免得他們禁不起誘惑，而落入網羅，陷於罪中。
若我們常常讀經禱告，保持儆醒，我們會常告誡自己：我怎可如此軟弱，做出得罪上帝的事？不行，我一定要懸崖勤馬。再者，若我們已和罪惡的事沾上瓜葛，上帝仍要幫助我們，救我們脫離網羅。這是多麼令人安慰的事，所以，被罪纏身無法自拔的孩子別灰心，聽聽救主是怎麼說的，「你們這背道的兒女啊，回來吧，我要醫治你們背道的病。」（耶三：22）但你說，你被俘虜動彈不得，然而你一定要從中出來，來認你的罪吧，並下定決心與過去一切暗昧的事一刀兩斷。那愛你到底的主，必不丟棄你，只要你離罪悔改，祂必接納你，並賜下平安喜樂。


Morning, January 24

Scripture: "Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler."(Psalm 91:3)

God delivers his people from the snare of the fowler in two senses. From, and out of. First, he delivers them from the snare—does not let them enter it; and secondly, if they should be caught therein, he delivers them out of it. The first promise is the most precious to some; the second is the best to others.
"He shall deliver thee from the snare." How? Trouble is often the means whereby God delivers us. God knows that our backsliding will soon end in our destruction, and he in mercy sends the rod. We say, "Lord, why is this?" not knowing that our trouble has been the means of delivering us from far greater evil. Many have been thus saved from ruin by their sorrows and their crosses; these have frightened the birds from the net. At other times, God keeps his people from the snare of the fowler by giving them great spiritual strength, so that when they are tempted to do evil they say, "How can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?" But what a blessed thing it is that if the believer shall, in an evil hour, come into the net, yet God will bring him out of it! O backslider, be cast down, but do not despair. Wanderer though thou hast been, hear what thy Redeemer saith—"Return, O backsliding children; I will have mercy upon you." But you say you cannot return, for you are a captive. Then listen to the promise—"Surely he shall deliver thee out of the snare of the fowler." Thou shalt yet be brought out of all evil into which thou hast fallen, and though thou shalt never cease to repent of thy ways, yet he that hath loved thee will not cast thee away; he will receive thee, and give thee joy and gladness, that the bones which he has broken may rejoice. No bird of paradise shall die in the fowler's net.
