The Lord never lets us out of His sight.
The eyes of the are on the righteous. Psalm 34:15
耶和华的眼目看顾义人。-诗篇34篇15节
No matter where the athletes of the 2016 Olympics go in the city of Rio de Janeiro, they can see Jesus. Standing high above this Brazilian city and anchored to a 2,310-foot-high mountain called Corcovado is a 100-foot-tall sculpture called Cristo Redentor (Christ the Redeemer). With arms spread wide, this massive figure is visible day and night from almost anywhere in the sprawling city.
巴西的里约热内卢主办2016年的奥运会,这些奥运选手不论走到市区哪个角落都可以看到耶稣像。这座名为救世基督的雕像高达38公尺,竖立在市区内高达710公尺的科科瓦多山上。不论白天黑夜,在这鳞次栉比的城市中,几乎在每个角落,人们都可以看见这双臂敞开的巨大雕像。
As comforting as this iconic concrete and soapstone sculpture may be to all who can look up and see it, there is much greater comfort from this reality: The real Jesus sees us. In Psalm 34, David explained it like this: “The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are attentive to their cry” (v. 15). He noted that when the righteous call out for His help, “The Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit” (vv. 17–18).
这座可亲眼看见的滑石耶稣雕像,让人可以仰望,抚慰人心。然而有个更令人安慰的事实,就是永活的耶稣正看顾着我们。大卫在诗篇34篇提到:“耶和华的眼目看顾义人;祂的耳朵听他们的呼求” (15节) 。他说,当义人呼求上帝的帮助,“耶和华听见了,便救他们脱离一切患难。耶和华靠近伤心的人,拯救灵性痛悔的人” (17-18节) 。
Just who are the righteous? Those of us who place our trust in Jesus Christ, who Himself is our righteousness (1 Cor. 1:30). Our God oversees our lives, and He hears the cries of those who trust Him. He is near to help in our greatest times of need.
然而谁是义人呢?只要信靠耶稣基督,我们就得称为义(哥林多前书1章30节) 。上帝看顾我们的生活,祂垂听信靠祂的人向祂所发的呼求。在我们最无助的时候,祂就在我们身边帮助我们。
Jesus has His eyes on you.
耶稣正看顾着你。
Sometimes, Lord, life seems out of control and I don’t know exactly which direction to take. Thank You for overseeing my life and prompting me in the right way through Your Word and Your Spirit.
亲爱的主啊,有时生活似乎已经失控,
我不知该如何是好。但感谢祢依然眷顾保守,
并藉着祢的话语和圣灵,引导我走正路。
15 The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
and his ears are attentive to their cry;
16 but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil,
to blot out their name from the earth.
17 The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them;
he delivers them from all their troubles.
18 The Lord is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
19 The righteous person may have many troubles,
but the Lord delivers him from them all;
20 he protects all his bones,
not one of them will be broken.
21 Evil will slay the wicked;
the foes of the righteous will be condemned.
22 The Lord will rescue his servants;
no one who takes refuge in him will be condemned.
