【双语灵修】敬畏神IN AWE OF GOD

「这是显给你看，要使你知道唯有耶和华他是神。除他以外，再无别神。」-申 4:35

我住近密歇根州南黑文那边的密歇根湖，这里是我喜欢去的地方。有时我会被呼唤到密歇根湖会去感受神的伟大。我站在湖边引吭高歌：「我神真伟大」「你真伟大」「唯独基督」和「祂是神」。这些诗歌就像故事那样提醒我神是谁。

在我聆听巨浪击打石头，海鸥尖叫，和大风嘶吼的声音时，我宣告行奇事的神是圣洁的，祂是天上和地下的主。当我凝望着完美的蔚蓝色穹苍和湖水，我感到肃然起敬，感动的说不出话来。这个景象就像神用指头使湖水和苍天的分界交融一起，两者变得天衣无缝了。

神与我们同在，和积极地在我们生命中作工。祂想我们知道祂是我们的主、我们的神—过去、现在和将来也是。我们赞美神，因祂透过祂的话语、大自然、工作，更特别借着祂的儿子耶稣基督和圣经，让我们认识祂。

你在何处和何时被神的可畏所吸引，并且被提醒耶和华是神，除祂以外再无别神呢？

祷告

奇妙的神啊，我敬畏祢。我赞美祢，因为祢是神，除祢以外再无别神。奉父、子、和圣灵的名祈求，阿们。

申命记 4:32-40

「你且考察在你以前的世代，自神造人在世以来，从天这边到天那边，曾有何民听见神在火中说话的声音，像你听见还能存活呢？这样的大事何曾有，何曾听见呢？神何曾从别的国中将一国的人民领出来，用试验、神迹、奇事、争战、大能的手和伸出来的膀臂并大可畏的事，像耶和华你们的神在埃及在你们眼前为你们所行的一切事呢？ 这是显给你看，要使你知道唯有耶和华他是神，除他以外，再无别神。他从天上使你听见他的声音，为要教训你，又在地上使你看见他的烈火，并且听见

他从火中所说的话。因他爱你的列祖，所以拣选他们的后裔，用大能亲自领你出了埃及，要将比你强大的国民从你面前赶出，领你进去，将他们的地赐你为业，像今日一样。所以，今日你要知道，也要记在心上：天上地下唯有耶和华他是神，除他以外，再无别神。我今日将他的律例、诫命晓谕你，你要遵守，使你和你的子孙可以得福，并使你的日子在耶和华你神所赐的地上得以长久。」

IN AWE OF GOD

You were shown these things so that you might know that the Lord is God; besides him there is no other.                                                                 —Deuteronomy 4:35

I live close to Lake Michigan on the South Haven, Michigan, side. It is my favorite go-to place; sometimes I am drawn to Lake Michigan to experience God's greatness. As I stand on the shore, I sing, “How Great Is Our God,” “How Great Thou Art,” “In Christ Alone,” and “He Is Lord.” These songs are like stories that remind me who God is.

As I listen to the sounds of big waves crashing on rocks, seagulls squawking, and wind roaring, I proclaim that the God of wonders is holy. He is the Lord of heaven above and earth below. Gazing at the vastness of the sky and the lake, both perfectly blue, I am awestruck and speechless. It seems as if God's finger has blended the line where the lake meets the sky; it appears seamless.

God is present and actively working in our lives. He wants us to know that he is the Lord our God—in the past, present, and future. We praise God for letting us know him through his words, nature, works, and especially through his Son, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.

Where or when are you drawn into the awesomeness of God and reminded that the Lord is God and there is no other?

O God of wonders, I am in awe of you. I praise you that you are God and there is no other. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
