梦游圣经66本书

日期：26/5/25

主题经文：
约翰福音4:23-24
“真正拜父的，要用心灵和诚实拜祂，因为父要这样的人拜祂。”
哈巴谷书1:2-4；2:1-4；3:17-19

什么是心灵诚实的敬拜？
心灵是灵里的呼吸，是从内心深处流露出的敬拜。
诚实是不伪饰、不隐藏，而是带着真实、坦然的心来到神面前。
心灵诚实的敬拜，就是不需要完美，只需要真实。
神不看外在的表现，祂在寻找一颗破碎、敞开的心。

从哈巴谷书看心灵诚实敬拜的三个画面：

一、真诚的呼喊——带着疑问寻求神
哈巴谷书1:2
“耶和华啊，我呼求祢，祢不应允，要到几时呢？”
哈巴谷没有伪装，而是把困惑、痛苦、愤怒都带到神面前。
敬拜从哪里开始？从敢于说“主啊，我不明白”，从流泪的祷告开始。
真实的敬拜，不是压抑痛苦，而是带着痛苦来到神面前。

二、真诚的守望——在沉默中仍等候神
哈巴谷书2:1
“我要站在守望所，立在望楼上观看……”
神回应说：“默示有一定的日期…义人因信得生。”
心灵诚实的敬拜，是一种等候的敬拜。
当神还未回应时，仍说“主啊，我信祢”；
当问题未解决时，仍说“主啊，我等祢”。
敬拜不是因为一切顺利，而是因为祂配得一切敬拜。

三、真诚的献上——即便失去一切，仍然敬拜
哈巴谷书3:17-18
“虽然无花果树不发旺…然而我要因耶和华欢欣。”
这是真诚敬拜的最高表达——不是因为我得到了，而是因为祂是我的神。
真正的敬拜，是即便一无所有，仍说“主啊，我还是爱祢”。

我们的回应：用心灵和诚实敬拜祂
亲爱的弟兄姐妹，
你是否正经历一个没有答案的季节？
你是否像哈巴谷一样，问过“神啊，祢在哪里”？
你是否觉得自己不够好，不配敬拜祂？

今天神对我们说：
孩子，我不需要你完美，只需要你真实。
带着你的软弱、破碎、疑惑和渴望来到我面前，这就是我所喜悦的敬拜。

祷告：
主啊，我常常隐藏自己，假装刚强，假装一切都好。
今天我学会：敬拜不是表演，而是带着真实的心来到祢面前。
求祢悦纳我破碎的敬拜，求祢在我的等候中坚固我的信心。
哪怕一无所有，主啊，我还是要敬拜祢。
奉耶稣的名，阿们。

Worship in Spirit and Truth: Insights from the Book of Habakkuk
Date: 26/5/25

Key Scriptures:
John 4:23-24
“The hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship Him.”
Habakkuk 1:2-4; 2:1-4; 3:17-19

What is Worship in Spirit and Truth?
• Spirit is the breath of the soul, the worship that flows from the depths of our being.
• Truth is without pretense, without masks, an honest and transparent heart before God.
• Worship in spirit and truth means coming to God with our truest selves — not perfect, but real.
God does not look at outward expressions, sounds, or rituals. He seeks a heart that is broken, open, and honest before Him.

Three Portraits of Worship from the Book of Habakkuk:

1. Honest Crying Out — Seeking God Amidst Questions
   Habakkuk 1:2
   “O Lord, how long shall I cry for help, and You will not hear?”
   Habakkuk does not pretend to be strong; he brings his confusion, pain, and anger before God.
   Where does true worship begin?
   It begins with the courage to say, “Lord, I don’t understand,”
   It begins with tearful prayers.
   True worship is not about suppressing pain, but bringing our pain honestly before God.

⸻

2. Honest Waiting — Trusting God in Silence
   Habakkuk 2:1
   “I will stand at my watch and station myself on the rampart; I will look to see what He will say to me…”
   God responds:
   “The vision awaits its appointed time… the righteous shall live by faith.” (Habakkuk 2:3-4)
   Worship in spirit and truth is also waiting in faith.
   When God is silent, we say, “Lord, I trust You.”
   When the problem remains, we say, “Lord, I am waiting for You.”
   Worship is not because everything is smooth, but because He alone is worthy.

3. Honest Offering — Singing Even When All is Lost
   Habakkuk 3:17-18
   “Though the fig tree does not bud… yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will be joyful in God my Savior.”
   This is the highest expression of true worship — not because I have received, but because I know who He is.
   True worship is not “because I got what I wanted,” but “even if I have nothing, Lord, I still love You.”

Our Response: Worshiping Him in Spirit and Truth
Dear brothers and sisters,
Are you in a season without answers?
Have you, like Habakkuk, ever asked, “Lord, where are You?”
Do you feel unworthy to worship because you are not perfect or you have many doubts?

Today, God says:
“My child, I do not need your perfection, I desire your honesty.”
Bring your weakness, your brokenness, your tears, and your longings to Me. This is the worship that pleases Me.

⸻

Prayer:
Lord, I often hide my true self, pretending to be strong, pretending everything is fine.
Today I learn: worship is not a performance, but coming to You with an honest heart.
Please accept my broken worship. Strengthen my faith as I wait for You.
Even if I have nothing, Lord, I still choose to worship You.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
