【撒上30:19】凡亚玛力人所掳去的，无论大小、儿女、财物，大卫都夺回来，没有失落一个。【1 Sa30:19】Nothing was missing: young or old, boy or girl, plunder or anything else they had taken. David brought everything back.

神允许急难突然临到，雪上加霜，跟随他的人还要用石头打死他，试炼大卫的心。God allowed sudden calamity to befall David, compounding his distress. Even his own followers sought to stone him, testing his heart. 大卫因心坚定倚靠耶和华，胜过看环境，看人，转向神定睛寻求神。Yet David, steadfast in his trust in the Lord, overcame the temptation to focus on circumstances or the actions of men. Instead, he turned his gaze toward God, earnestly seeking His will.  神说： “你可以追，必追得上，都救得回来。”And the Lord answered him,“Pursue them. You will certainly overtake them and succeed in the rescue.”神的话怎么说必怎么成就，信就必看见神的荣耀。What the Lord has spoken shall surely come to pass, and those who believe will witness the glory of God. 凡亚玛力人所掳去的，无论大小、儿女、财物，大卫都夺回来，没有失落一个。Nothing was missing: young or old, boy or girl, plunder or anything else they had taken. David brought everything back.

神是叫我们多经历重大急难的，必使我们复活，从地的深处把我们救上来。God permits us to endure great trials, but He will also revive us, raising us up from the depths of the earth. 大卫因信神，一切的苦难都是化了妆的祝福。Through faith in God, David saw all his sufferings transformed into blessings in disguise. 他虽软弱，放声大哭，直到哭的没有力气，还被众人弃绝要用石头打死他，但他却在那一刻选择倚靠耶和华他的神，心里坚固。Though weak, he wept aloud until he had no strength left, and even faced rejection from his people who sought to stone him. Yet in that moment, he chose to rely on the Lord his God and was strengthened in heart. 神就带领他去讨伐仇敌将他们所失去的，一并全部都夺回来。God then led him to defeat his enemies and to recover all that had been lost.

 感谢主，借着大卫让我们学习功课，在急难之时对的选择是何等重要，We thank the Lord, who teaches us through David’s example, that the choices we make in times of crisis are of utmost importance. 在急难面前，他没有选择躺平、抱怨、消沉、沉迷在当下的环境里。In the face of adversity, David did not choose to surrender, complain, or succumb to despair. 那一刻，他来到神的面前寻求神的心意，他必不怕凶恶的信息；他心坚定，倚靠耶和华。Instead, he sought the Lord’s will, unafraid of bad news; his heart was steadfast, trusting in the Lord. 信，出于神的他就默然不语，出于神的神必负责到底。Faith, that comes from God, brings with it a quiet confidence, for God will surely see it through to the end.

主啊，求主赦免我们到了环境就吃了分辨善恶树的果子，凭了眼见，心就消化，吃的日子就死掉了。O Lord, we pray for Your forgiveness for those times when, confronted with circumstances, we have partaken of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, relying on what we see and thus losing heart, dying in spirit. 如今得以明白，急难是你所赐的恩典，在急难中训练我们学习信靠你，仰望你，心里坚固，But now we understand that trials are Your gracious gifts, training us to trust and look to You, strengthening our hearts. 信，靠着那加给我们力量的主，凡事都能，反败为胜，被仇敌掳去的全部夺回来，一个都不失落。By faith, relying on the One who strengthens us, we can do all things, turning defeat into victory, recovering all that the enemy has taken, losing not a single thing.  阿们！哈利路亚，得胜的主我们赞美你直到永永远远。

Amen! Hallelujah! We praise You, victorious Lord, forever and ever. (郭姊妹 Sister Guo)
