祂是我們的上帝,我們是祂草場的羊,是祂手下的民。—詩篇95篇7節
金黛安(Dianne Dokko Kim)與她丈夫得知兒子被診斷出患有自閉症,一想到這有認知障礙的兒子極有可能活得比她更久,金黛安的內心就充滿煎熬。她不禁向上帝哭訴:如果我不在了,他該怎麼辦?誰來照顧他呢?上帝回應她的禱告,為她建立一個支持系統,讓其他照顧身心障礙孩子的成年人扶持她。上帝賦予金黛安信靠祂的力量,讓她能將莫名的罪疚感、無力感和恐懼感都交託給上帝。後來,金黛安在她一本談到信心的書中(Unbroken Faith),為其他養育身心障礙孩子的成年人提供了盼望。在兒子步入成年期後,金黛安的信心依然堅定,她深信上帝會永遠照顧她與她的兒子。
人生中的各種不測可能會使我們對上帝的信心動搖,我們也許會把信心寄託在其他人事物或自己的身上。然而,我們可以倚靠那「拯救我們的磐石」(詩篇95篇1節),這句話指出上帝的特質值得信賴。上帝掌管一切,「地的深處在祂手中,山的高峰也屬祂。海洋屬祂,是祂造的,旱地也是祂手造成的」(4-5節)。
我們能擁有堅定的信心,敬拜那位「造我們的耶和華」(6節)。我們可以相信祂會與我們、與我們所愛的人同在,因為我們是「祂草場的羊」(7節)。
He is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care.
When Dianne Dokko Kim and her husband learned that their sons diagnosis was autism, she struggled with the very real possibility that her cognitively disabled son might outlive her. She cried out to God: What will he do without me to care for him? God surrounded her with a support system of other adults raising children with disabilities. He empowered Dianne to trust Him with her often-unexplainable guilt, feelings of inadequacy, and fear. Eventually, in her book Unbroken Faith, Dianne offered hope for “spiritual recovery” to other adults raising children with disabilities. As her son enters adulthood, Dianne’s faith remains intact. She trusts that God will always care for her and her son.
Uncertainties in life can harden our hearts toward God. We may be tempted to place our faith in other things or people, including ourselves. We can, however, depend on “the Rock of our salvation” (Psalm 95:1)—a phrase that points to the certainty of God’s character. “In his hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to him. The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land” (vv. 4-5).
We can live with unbroken faith, worshiping our “Lord our Maker” (v. 6). We can trust Him to be with us and those we love because we’re “the flock under his care” (v. 7).
How has God shown that He cares for you and your loved ones when you’ve felt helpless? How does knowing the certainty of His character help you trust Him as a promise keeper?
Great God, thank You for promising to care for me.
