慕安德烈每日靈修 God's Best Secrets by Andrew Murray 讚美上帝 經文: 「義人哪，你們應當靠耶和華歡樂。正直人的讚美是合宜的。」（詩篇卅三：1） 讚美是敬拜中極爲重要的一部份，當你親近上帝時，聖靈會引導你默念耶穌的聖名，那將是一柱裊裊上升的香，在上帝面前獻爲馨香的祭。� 「耶和華啊！衆神之中誰能像您，誰能像您至聖至榮，可頌可畏，施行奇事。」（出埃及記十五：11）你們還記得這首讚美之歌嗎？這是摩西在帶領百姓過紅海，蒙拯救脫離埃及權勢後所湧出的讚美之詞。� 詩篇中讚美的內容佔了極大的篇幅，約有六十幾篇，而且越到後面越多，例如九十五篇至一○一篇，一○三篇至一○七篇，一一一篇至一一八篇，一三四篇至一三八篇，一四四篇至一五○篇，尤其最後五篇幾乎都是哈利路亞的讚美詩篇，起頭和末了都是「你們要讚美耶和華。」並且在最後一篇中，每一節都重覆兩次「讚美祂」，末了又說：「凡有氣息的，都要讚美耶和華。」 讓我們仔細研讀這些篇章，直到我們的心能不斷湧出讚美的樂歌：� 「我要永遠讚美耶和華，讚美祂的話必常在我口中。」� 「每天我都要來讚美您。」� 「在我還活著的時候，我要不斷讚美上帝。」� 耶穌降世時，有天使的歌聲，馬利亞的頌詞，以及撒迦利亞、西面的頌讚。� 還有摩西的讚美歌，以及羔羊的頌讚中，讚美上帝的話充滿了宇宙：「主，上帝，全能者阿！您的作爲大哉，奇哉。萬世之王阿！您的道途義哉，誠哉。主阿！誰敢不敬畏您，不將榮耀歸與您的名呢？因爲獨有您是聖的。」（啓示錄十五：3，4）末了在啓示錄十九章一至六節又說了四次：「哈利路亞，阿們」最後衆天使又呼喊：「因爲主我們的上帝全能者，作王了。」� 上帝的兒女們，讓密室與上帝獨處的安靜時間，引導你的心上揚，不斷湧出讚美的詩章頌詞。 THE PRAISE OP GOD Scripture: "Praise is comely for the upright."—Ps. xxxiii. 1. Praise will ever be a part of Adoration. Adoration, when it has entered God's presence, and had fellowship with Him, will ever lead to the praise of His name. Let praise be a part of the incense we bring before God in our quiet time. It was when the children of Israel, at their birth as the people of God at the Red Sea, had been delivered from the power of Egypt, that in the song of Moses the joy of redemption burst forth in the song of praise: "Who is like unto Thee, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like Thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?" In the Psalms we see what a large place praise ought to have in the spiritual life. There are more than sixty Psalms of praise, becoming more frequent as the Book draws to its close. See Ps. xcv.-ci., ciii.-cvii., cxi.-cxviii., cxxxiv.-cxxxviii., cxliv.-cl. The last five are Hallelujah psalms, with the word, "Praise ye the Lord," as the beginning and the ending. And the very last repeats, "praise Him," twice in every verse, and ends, "Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord." 'Let us take time to study this until our whole heart and life be one continual song of praise: "I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth." "Every day will I bless Thee." I will sing praises unto my God while I have my being." With the coming of Christ into the world, there was a new outburst of praise in the song of the angels, the song of Mary, the song of Zechariah, and the song of Simeon. And then we find in the song of Moses and the Lamb (Rev. xv. 3) the praise of God filling creation: "Great and marvellous are Thy works, Lord God Almighty. Who shall not fear Thee, O Lord, and glorify Thy Name? for Thou only art holy"; ending (Rev. xix. 1-6) with the fourfold "Hallelujah, Amen!" "For the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigneth." O child of God, let the inner chamber, and the quiet time with God, ever lead the heart to unceasing praise. www.glorypress.com
