(474) 「灵粮主题 TODAY’s Topic」：你从未被遗弃 You Have Never Been Abandoned

「灵粮经节 TODAY’s Verses」：「诗篇 91 是摩西在沙漠中完成会幕建筑的那一天所写作的。 这些经文描述了摩西自己进入会幕的经历：“1住在至高者隐密处的，必住在全能者的荫下”。因为摩西认识神从未被遗弃寻求他的人，他在经节的 14-16 节里证实：“神说：因为他专心爱我，我就要搭救他；因为他知道我的名，我要把他安置在高处。他若求告我，我就应允他；他在急难中，我要与他同在；我要搭救他，使他尊贵。我要使他足享长寿，将我的救恩显明给他。“；Psalm 91 was composed on the day Moses finished building the Tabernacle in the desert. These verses describe Moses' own experience of entering the Tabernacle: "1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty". Because Moses knew that God was never forsaken by those who sought him, he affirmed in verses 14-16: “Because he loves me,” says the LORD, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.” 」(诗篇 Psalm 91: 14-16 节）

「灵粮分享 TODAY’s Sharing」： 今晨在 「爱城华人宣道会Edmonton Chinese Alliance Church」 的周二弟兄和姊妹查经的小组里，读到爱城华人宣道会粤语部已故的周二弟兄查经小组的前组长，黄启康 Henry Wong 先生的夫人黄马妙洁 Sylvia Wong 姊妹，和她的女儿写了一篇， “悲伤和赞美的回忆 Sad and Praiseful Memories” 的分享见证。她们母女引用诗篇 Psalm 9：10 节，来描述在过去一周年的忧伤生活里，她们是如何怀念那已故的丈夫和父亲黄启康弟兄。但是，这诗篇的诗人大卫王在经节里却鼓励着我们，说要坚信专心仰赖赞美神，因为， “耶和华啊，认识你名的人要倚靠你，因你没有离弃寻求你的人。” 这也就是「今日灵粮 Spiritual Food TODAY」 主题要分享的， “你从未被遗弃” 。黄马妙洁 Sylvia Wong 姊妹将她女儿对父亲的感叹，翻译写道: 一年前，爸爸去了天堂。我仍然非常想念他，而且看起来仍然是如此超现实。今天，我将选择思考这个爱耶稣并热衷于分享信仰的了不起的人。即使许多人都失败了，他仍然是一个正直的人。他是如此风趣，总是能化解紧张局势的那个人。他以自己的方式体贴周到。他是一个沉默寡言的人，但我记得他总是在祈祷。哈哈，就像他开车时闭着眼睛祈祷的时候一样，而我们这些孩子趁车坐在后面却吓坏了。妈妈非常爱爸爸。爸爸也宠爱妈妈、他的儿女，以及他的孙子。但最重要的是，爸爸爱他的主。是的，我很高兴也相信在基督里的将来，我会再次见到他，但我仍然希望他现在还在这里。尽管如此，我还是很庆幸我有他这个爸爸。我希望我能继续保持他那种坚定不移的信念，并将其传递给我的孩子们，直到我们再次见面。或直到我们救世主的再来。大家星期五开心与周末愉快！

「灵粮祷告 TODAY’s Prayer」：「今日灵粮 Spiritual Food TODAY」 也就引用诗篇 Psalm 73: 26 节和大家在主的爱里相互勉励祷告。失去亲人并不是一件容易的事。 朋友或家人（包括宠物）的去世会给你带来很多痛苦，需要时间才能治愈。 但如果信仰和上帝是你生活中的重要部分，那么圣经和赞美诗歌可以在悲伤的时候提供安慰。就像黄马妙洁 Sylvia Wong 姊妹，和她的女儿在分享里给我们的最后勉励，也就提起了这首赞美诗歌, 【因祂活着 Because He Lives】, 让她们想起了黄启康弟兄，欢笑且喜乐，因为 “你从未被遗弃” ，他还活着！就像救主耶稣一样， “因祂活着” ！唱这首歌尤其是那部分 “我深知道，祂掌管明天，生命充滿了希望，只因祂活著。” 诗人亚萨 （Asaph） 在这诗篇 73：26 经节里，也都这么劝告我们，“你从未被遗弃”，说： “我的肉体和我的心肠衰残；但神是我心里的力量，又是我的福分，直到永远。“ 父神， 我们非常感谢你这样的提醒我，我从未被遗弃， 或遗忘。神都在这个黑暗的地方看到你，神保证你活在这个时候，都有他对你的目的。主啊，求你把神的生命和光，带到所有希望好像都消失的地方来。告诉我们今天要如何过着面对真实的生活，让人生的悲伤和赞美神的荣耀共存。祷告奉主名求的，阿们。

In the Tuesday Brothers and Sisters' Bible Study Group of 「Edmonton Chinese Alliance Church 爱城华人宣道会」this morning, I read a written and shared testimony from Sister Sylvia Wong, along with her daughter who wrote the article, "Sad and Praiseful Memories" about her dad. They are the wife and daughter of the late former group leader of the Edmonton Chinese Alliance Church's Tuesday Brothers Bible Study Group, Mr. Henry Wong. The mother and daughter quoted Psalm 9:10 to describe how they missed their late husband and father, Brother Henry Wong, during her grief in a sorrowful life of the past one-year anniversary. However, the psalmist King David who wrote this psalm, encourages us in the verse, saying to trust and praise God with all your heart, because, "Those who know your name trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you. " This is what the theme of "Spiritual Food TODAY" wants to share, "You have never been abandoned". Sister Sylvia Wong translated her daughter's lament to her father, and wrote: A year ago, Dad went to heaven. I still miss him so much, and it still seems so surreal. Today I will choose to think about this amazing man who loved Jesus and passionately shared his faith. Even when many failed, he was still a man of integrity. He is so good-humored and always the one to defuse the tension. He is thoughtful and thoughtful in his own way. He was a man of few words, but I remember him always praying. Ha-ha, like when he was driving with his eyes closed and praying while us kids freaked out while sitting in the back. Mom loves Dad very much. Dad also dotes on Mom, his children, and his grandchildren. But most of all, Dad loves his Lord. Yes, I am happy and believe in a future in Christ where I will see him again, but I still wish he was here now. Still, I am glad I have him as a dad. I hope I can carry on with his unwavering faith and pass it on to my children until we meet again. Or until the return of our Savior. Happy Friday and great weekend everyone!

In conclusion, “今日灵粮 Spiritual Food TODAY” would like to quote Psalm 73:26 and encourages and prays for each other in the love of the Lord. Losing a loved one is not easy. The death of a friend or family member (including a pet) can cause you a lot of pain and it will take time to heal. But if faith and God are an important part of your life, the Bible and hymns can provide comfort in times of grief. Just like Sister Sylvia Wong and her daughter gave us the last encouragement in their sharing, they mentioned this hymn, 【Because He Lives】, reminding them of Brother Henry Wong, laughing and joyful, because "you were never forsaken" and Henry's alive, just like our Savior Jesus, "Because He Lives"! Sing this hymn song especially the part "Because I know He holds the future, and life is worth the living, just because He lives." The psalmist Asaph also advises us in this verse of Psalm 73: 26, "You were never forsaken," saying, "My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever." Father God, we thank you so much for such remind me that I was never abandoned, or forgotten. God sees you in this dark place world, and God guarantees that you are living currently and has His purpose for you. Lord, bring the life and light of God to where all hope seems lost. Tell us how to live a real life today, let the sorrow of life coexist with the glory of praising God. Pray in the name of the Lord, Amen.
