求 你 側 耳 而 聽 ， 快 快 救 我 ！ 作 我 堅 固 的 磐 石 ， 拯 救 我 的 保 障 ！

因 為 你 是 我 的 巖 石 ， 我 的 山 寨 ； 所 以 ， 求 你 為 你 名 的 緣 故 引 導 我 ， 指 點 我 。
詩篇 31:2-3
1. 求聖靈在你生命中工作
"親愛的聖靈, 求你光照我心靈的深處, 使我看見我的罪, 我和主耶穌的阻隔,
求你幫助, 奉主耶穌基督名求。阿們。"
2. 透過聖靈的工作, 安靜一刻, 省察自己, 之後祈禱:
「親愛的主耶穌，感謝你為我的罪釘死在十字架上，我願意在你面前承認我的罪（凡聖靈光照到的，請逐一說出），求你用你的寶血赦免我的罪，我願意打開心門讓你作我的救主，求你救贖我，我願意一生跟隨你讓你作我生命的主，求你帶領我。聖靈，求你充滿我，使我得著恩賜及力量去事奉主、見證主。奉主耶穌基督名求，阿們。」
聆聽主話 (列王紀下 3:26-27)
Chinese (Union): https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=列 王 紀 下+3&version=CUV
26 摩 押 王 見 陣 勢 甚 大 ， 難 以 對 敵 ， 就 率 領 七 百 拿 刀 的 兵 ， 要 衝 過 陣 去 到 以 東 王 那 裡 ， 卻 是 不 能 ；
27 便 將 那 應 當 接 續 他 作 王 的 長 子 ， 在 城 上 獻 為 燔 祭 。 以 色 列 人 遭 遇 耶 和 華 的 大 怒 ( 或 作 招 人 痛 恨 ) ， 於 是 三 王 離 開 摩 押 王 ， 各 回 本 國 去 了 。
現在讓你有一段安靜的時間, 給聖靈一個空間, 讓主耶穌可以藉着你剛才讀過的經文, 對你說話:
我的聆聽
Mesha, the king of Moab, killed his elder son to make sacrifice to his gods. Terrible! But, after that the three kings stopped their attack and went home. What happened actually?
A desperate situation requires desperate measures, and as the king he is the one who has to take them. And they work.
How so? What is this wrath that comes on Israel? Is it Yahweh's wrath? Is it the wrath of Chemosh, the Moabite god? Is it simply wrath - is that a way of describing the way victory is turned into catastrophe? Does the sacrifice work by galvanizing the Moabites? Does it work by paralyzing the Israelites? It seems that the storytellers do not know and do not pretend to explain what they do not know. While spiritual or theological insight sometimes makes it possible to know things, it does not always do so. There are strange things that happen in life that we cannot explain, and we have to live with them on the basis of the clues God has given us about the big picture that we can understand. It is encouraging that the Scriptures do not pretend to know everything; it is then easier to trust them when they think they do know things.

Are you satisfy with this answer today? No one knows why God poured out His wrath and the warfare suddenly stopped with no reason. Actually the Bible does not say the wrath comes from God, but the Chinese translation has God wrath there.
We as human beings like to ask why. This is the time for us to learn that there are times that we really won't know why, and that's fine.

Dear Lord Jesus,
Help us to understand that we may never understand why you do things like that but just to trust you and to love you. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
