【双语灵修】在整个世界发出响声RINGING OUT ACROSS THE WORLD

诗篇 96

你们要向耶和华唱新歌，全地都要向耶和华歌唱！ 要向耶和华歌唱，称颂他的名，天天传扬他的救恩。 在列邦中述说他的荣耀，在万民中述说他的奇事。 因耶和华为大，当受极大的赞美，他在万神之上，当受敬畏。 外邦的神都属虚无，唯独耶和华创造诸天。 有尊荣和威严在他面前，有能力与华美在他圣所。 民中的万族啊，你们要将荣耀、能力归给耶和华，都归给耶和华！ 要将耶和华的名所当得的荣耀归给他，拿供物来进入他的院宇！ 当以圣洁的装饰敬拜耶和华，全地要在他面前战抖！人在列邦中要说：“耶和华做王！”世界就坚定，不得动摇，他要按公正审判众民。愿天欢喜，愿地快乐，愿海和其中所充满的澎湃，愿田和其中所有的都欢乐！那时林中的树木都要在耶和华面前欢呼，因为他来了，他来要审判全地。他要按公义审判世界，按他的信实审判万民。

在整个世界发出响声

“在列邦中述说他的荣耀，在万民中述说他的奇事。” - 诗 96:3

你体验过真正的回声吗？你可以对着一个空旷的地方大声呼喊“哈啰！”接着便会听到你自己的声音的回声：“哈啰！哈啰！哈啰！”记得在我大约7岁时，我曾对着一个被雾笼罩的湖大声呼叫——接着我便听到自己的声音飘荡回我耳边，我感到惊叹万分。

在这个月，让我们来探讨一件类似产生回声的事情。这个月的灵修主题是“回响”，“回响”是我热爱的观念，它也与我的事奉有很大的关系。我事奉的机构名叫“回响普世宣教机构”，此机构的事工中心是活出和分享耶稣的好消息，好叫这个好消息能产生回响，就像一把不断扩大和增强的声音、向四方八面散播出去。

回响就像回声，区别是它比回声更沉实有力。当我们想到我们灵命中的回响时，便会联想到神藉着祂的道、祂的灵、和祂的宇宙来发声，这是何等奇妙——祂的声音在我们生命中，和在我们周围的世界里不断回荡。

响起的钟声或铃声，是另一个让我们体验到回响的方式。当你参与研读这些灵修文章时，我鼓励你找一个小铃（或在手机上搜查一个“铃声”），在读完一天的文章后，便按起铃声来。

神正在与我们同在呢！神述说祂的好消息，并分享祂的爱！愿我们能用我们的声音，像回声那样，以喜乐和颂赞来回应神为我们作的一切美事！

祷告

主啊，为你奇妙的作为、和你以你的爱在我们周围回荡感谢你。我们庆幸能够以我们颂赞的歌声、像回声那样来回应你！奉耶稣的名祈求，阿们。

Psalm 96

RINGING OUT ACROSS THE WORLD

Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples. —Psalm 96:3

Have you ever experienced a genuine echo? Maybe you shouted “Hello!” into a wide empty space and then heard your own voice return: “Hello! Hello! Hello!” I remember being about seven years old and calling out across a misty lake—and then, with a sense of wonder, hearing my voice come drifting back to me.

This month let’s explore something that is similar to an echo. Our theme this month is “Resonance,” and the concept of resonance is close to my heart and my work. The agency I serve is called Resonate Global Mission, and this organization focuses on living out and sharing the good news of Jesus so that it resonates, going out in every direction like an expanding, amplifying sound.

Resonance is like an echo, yet deeper and more powerful. When we think about resonance in our spiritual lives, it can open us to the wonder of God’s voice speaking through his Word, his Spirit, and his world—reverberating within our lives and all around us.

The ringing of a bell or a chime provides another way to experience resonance. As you engage in these devotions, I encourage you to find a small chime (or search “chime sound” on your phone) and play it after each day’s reflection.

God is here with us! God speaks his good news and shares his love with us! May our voices echo back with joy and praise for all the great things God has done!

Lord, thank you for your marvelous deeds and the way your love resonates around us. What a privilege to echo back our songs of praise! In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
