永不孤單
主曾說:「我總不撇下你,也不丟棄你。」—希伯來書13章5節
美國作家梭羅(Henry David Thoreau)將城市描述為許多人「一起孤獨生活」的地方。這確實有點道理,在我年輕的時候,許多流行歌曲的內容都是關於孤單和寂寞。而前幾年新冠肺炎疫情期間,更讓全世界的人都經歷了最孤單的一段時間。社群媒體也可能加深這種感覺,我們雖能與人聯繫,但卻難以建立真正的關係。或許,孤獨也是現代人的流行病。
馬太福音1章18-25節記載耶穌降生的事,22-23節說:「這一切的事成就是要應驗主藉先知[以賽亞]所說的話,說:必有童女懷孕生子;人要稱祂的名為以馬內利。(以馬內利翻出來就是『上帝與我們同在』)。」讓我們停下來思考一下:上帝與我們同在!
對基督徒來說,我們永遠不會孤單。上帝使我們重生,成為基督大家庭中的一分子。基督的大家庭橫跨全球,世世代代綿延不絕。使徒保羅說:「你們不再作外人和客旅,是與聖徒同國,是上帝家裡的人了」(以弗所書2章19節)。這位永遠與我們同在的上帝深愛著我們,祂應許說:「我總不撇下你,也不丟棄你。」(希伯來書13章5節)
此時,無論你面對怎樣的境況,記得天父與你同在!當你面對生活中的未知和挑戰時,讓祂來扶持你。上帝一直與你同在。
反思和禱告
With Us in Our Loneliness
will I leave you; never will I forsake you.
Henry David Thoreau described a city as a place where many people are “lonesome together.” Those words have the ring of truth. In my youth, songs like “Mr. Lonely,” “Only the Lonely,” and “Eleanor Rigby” focused on isolation and loneliness. In recent years, the pandemic was one of the most isolating seasons the world has known. And social media can feed that loneliness, giving us connection without relationship. Perhaps loneliness is the new pandemic.
As Matthew shared the story of the birth of Jesus (1:18-25), he told us, “All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet [Isaiah]: ‘The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel’ (which means ‘God with us’) ” (vv. 22-23). Ponder that for a moment. God with us!
As believers in Jesus, we’re never alone. We’ve been born again into the family of Christ, a family that spans the globe and the ages. The apostle Paul said, “You are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household” (Ephesians 2:19). We’re loved by the ever-present God, who said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5).
Whatever you’re facing today, your heavenly Father is present with you. Allow Him to help you as you step into life’s uncertainties and challenges. He’s with you.
Reflect & Pray
When have you felt lonely? When experiencing this sense of isolation, how do you respond to it?
Thank You, Father, that because of Your abiding presence, I’m never alone.
