聖經默想 – 我毋須逃避恐懼
Bible Meditation – No need to escape from fear

約沙法便懼怕,定意尋求耶和華,在猶大全地宣告禁食。(歷代志下20:3

默想:約沙法因鄰國聯手來犯,強敵當前感到力不能勝,心中不期然恐懼起來。在危困中,他卻定意尋求耶和華,並帶領以色列全國禁食。我們毋須逃避恐懼,最要緊的是在懼怕的時候,定意倚靠上主。

 

Alarmed, Jehoshaphat resolved to inquire of the Lord, and he proclaimed a fast for all Judah.  (2 Chronicles 20:3  New International Version)

Meditate: Jehoshaphat was jointly attacked by neighboring countries. The strong enemies surrounded him and he might feel that they were invincible. Jehoshaphat’s heart was unavoidably trembling. During this crisis, he determined to seek Jehovah and led all Judah to fast. We do not need to escape from fear, the most important thing is to rely on God when we are afraid.
