Psalm 60:4 You have set up a banner for those who fear you, that they may flee to it from the bow. NKJV: That it may be displayed because of the truth ..11 Oh, grant us help against the foe, for vain is the salvation of man! 12 With God we shall do valiantly; it is he who will tread down our foes.
詩篇 60:4 你把旌旗賜給敬畏你的人,可以為真理揚起來。… 11 求你幫助我們攻擊敵人,因為人的幫助是枉然的。12 我們倚靠神才得施展大能,因為踐踏我們敵人的就是他。
When David was fighting the enemies who surrounded him (2 Sam. 8: 1-14), he prayed to God to set up a banner for him, asking for God’s presence and protection over him. Today Christians are facing a severe battle of truth especially with the next generation. “The god of this world has blinded the minds of unbelievers.” (2 Corinthians 4:4) The truth has been suppressed and changed into a lie. (Romans 1:18,25) Jesus is the Truth, and only when we abide in His word can we come to know the truth! Moreover, the truth will set us free. (John 8:31-32) The Lord is our Banner (Jehovah Nissi); may God help those who fear Him raise the Banner of Truth to fight the Amalekites of our times (Ex. 17:16)!
大衛與周圍的仇敵爭戰時(2 Sam。8:1-14),他向上帝祈禱,為他設立旌旗,請求上帝同在和保護他。 今天,基督徒正面臨一場嚴峻的真理之戰,尤其是在下一代。 “這些不信的人被這世界的神明弄瞎了心眼。” (哥林多後書4:4)真理被抵擋了,虛假取代神的真理。 (羅馬書1:18,25)耶穌就是真理,只有我們遵守他的話,我們才能知道真理! 而且,真理將使我們自由。 (約翰福音8:31-32)耶和華是我們的旌旗 (耶和華尼西); 願上帝幫助那些敬畏祂的人揚起真理的旌旗,與我們這時代的亞瑪力人爭戰!
