504 中翻英 (204)           What is the meaning to worship God?    何謂敬拜上帝?     8/30/2023                      

八月三十日的曠野筵席默思, 啟示有基督信仰的人有關敬拜上帝的意義.     就是在日常所遇到的每一件事上，立刻借著感謝和贊美，將榮耀歸給祂, 不要搶奪上帝的榮耀。

            「女子說,  " ..... 我是彼土利的女儿 .....  ." 那人就低頭向耶和華下拜, ......」                                                                     (創   24:24-26  新國際版）

你是否懂得敬拜神的意義是什么？當某項艱巨任務橫在眼前，你把它帶到神那里求助，而接著又得遂所愿，那時你是否僅僅為著你那亨通的道路而歡樂？而更坏的乃是，你是否傾向于把某些成就，歸功于自己的才能或机緣？然而亞伯拉罕的仆人并不是這樣。他沒有因所辦事情的幸遇而自賀，他甚至沒有停下來先向利百加交談。他既不感猶豫，也不覺為難，就立刻低頭下拜并開口說：「我主人亞伯拉罕的神是應當稱頌的」他那快速的反應，就是敬拜神的道路。同時他在每件事情的轉捩點，都看見是一個新的机會可以讓他敬拜神。若要成為一個真實敬拜神的人，就必須在日常所遇到的每一件事上，立刻借著感謝和贊美，將榮耀歸給神。因神早已安排了我們一切的道路，好叫我們將祂所喜悅的敬拜歸給祂。

"She answered him, " I am the daughter of Bethuel, ....... then the man bowed down and worshiped the LORD." (Genesis 24:24-26 NIV)

Do you understand what it means to worship God? When a daunting task lies before you, and you take it to God for help, and then get your way, are you just rejoicing in the way you're going?   Do you tend to attribute certain accomplishments to your own talents or chance, that is much worse? However, Abraham's servant was not so.  He didn't congratulate himself on the good fortune he had done.  He didn't even stop to talk to Rebekah first.  He immediately bowed down without hesitation or embarrassment, and said, "Blessed be the God of my master Abraham ......"  the way to worship God was his quick reaction. At the same time, at every turning point, he saw a new opportunity for him to worship God. If you want to be a true worshiper of God, one must immediately give glory to God through thanksgiving and praise in everything that is happening to him every day. For God has arranged all our paths, so that we may ascribe the worship to Him  that is pleasing Him.
