3:3 上帝從提幔而來;聖者從巴蘭山臨到。(細拉)他的榮光遮蔽諸天;頌讚充滿大地。
3:4 他的輝煌如同日光;從他手裡射出光線,在其中藏著他的能力。
3:5 在他前面有瘟疫流行;在他腳下有熱症發出。
3:6 他站立,量了大地(或譯:使地震動),觀看,趕散萬民。永久的山崩裂;長存的嶺塌陷;他的作為與古時一樣。
3:7 我見古珊的帳棚遭難,米甸的幔子戰兢。
God
came from Teman,
and
the Holy One from Mount Paran.
Selah
His splendor covered the heavens,
and the earth was full of his praise.
His brightness was like the light;
rays flashed from his hand;
and there he veiled his power.
Before him went pestilence,
and plague followed at his heels.
He stood and measured the earth;
he looked and shook the nations;
then the eternal mountains were scattered;
the everlasting hills sank low.
His were the everlasting ways.
I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction;
the
curtains of the land of Midian did tremble.

先知在此宣告上帝的威嚴和公義,尤其是祂的大能是無人所能抵擋的,人無法在祂面前誇耀自己,人只能福在祂威嚴的大能之下,人只能俯伏在地稱呼祂是主,因為祂不僅是大能的主,祂是我們的創造主,也是我們的救贖主!我們只能在祂面前承認我們是軟弱和無能,甚至我們是悖逆與自私,還自高自大,不以祂為上帝來榮耀祂!
因此,我們來敬拜上帝不是看場面、看人數,而是確確實實來到祂面前,仰望祂,並享受祂的同在!不是誇耀自己、表現自己,或展現自己多麼有能力,多麼聖潔,這在上帝面前都毫無意義。
讓我們在一次透過先知的禱告,在上帝面前認罪和悔改,放下自我的一切,讓上帝親自來掌權,透過我們來彰顯祂的榮耀,使我們活出上帝兒女的榮美形象,讓人由我們看見基督,並且來靠基督的大工成為上帝的兒女,這就是聖靈在我們身上的工作了!
