📖 复新方向,回归起初的荣耀

🗓 日期:2025年7月21日
📍 经文:耶利米哀歌 5:21
“耶和华啊,求你使我们向你回转,我们便得回转;求你复新我们的日子,像古时一样。”

🌙 梦境回顾:车不见了

梦中,我记得我的车是停在“家”的地方。那是我熟悉的、安全的环境,应该是最容易找到方向的地方。

可是无论如何,我就是找不到那辆车。

这不是一个普通的梦,而是一种深层的属灵提醒。我失去了方向感、动力与继续前行的力量,虽然“车”应该在那里,但我却失去了它。

📖 经文亮光:回转与复新

耶利米哀歌5:21是以色列人被掳、圣殿荒废之后的祷告。这个民族失去了神的同在、圣殿的敬拜与属灵的尊荣。他们的家——耶路撒冷——也不再熟悉。

这节经文中,先知发出两个呼求:

第一是:“使我们向你回转,我们便得回转。”
——回转不是靠人自己完成的,是神的怜悯先临到,人才有能力真正悔改与归回。

第二是:“复新我们的日子,像古时一样。”
——他们渴望的不只是过去的舒适日子,而是回到与神同在、神掌权的状态。

✨ “古时”原文深入:קדם(Kedem)

“古时”在希伯来文中是“kedem”,这个词非常丰富。

它的第一个意思是“过去、起初”,代表最初与神亲密同行的日子。
它的第二层含义是“东方”——太阳升起的方向,是光的起点。在圣经中,“东方”常象征神的同在、荣耀的临到、以及新生的开始。
它也带有“本源、原初设计”的意味——神起初为人预备的命定、和谐与荣耀。

因此,“像古时一样”不只是回到过去的怀念,而是渴望:

回到神面前的亲密关系,
回到那个属灵方向清晰、热情炽热的状态,
回到神原初为我们设定的道路上。

🔥 梦与经文的连接

梦中,我找不到车,而车原本是在家。

“车”象征着人生的方向、呼召与属灵行动力。“家”象征着我们的属灵身份、安全与根基。

我以为那“车”就在“家”,就像以色列人以为自己还在属神的身份中,结果却发现自己已经迷失、软弱、困惑。

这正是哀歌5:21的情境:我们渴望复兴,但复兴的起点是“回转”——不是先去寻找“车”,而是先归向神。

不是靠我们自己找回动力,而是向神呼求:“求你使我回转。”

不是靠自己修补未来,而是求神说:“求你复新我的日子,像起初那样,有你的光,有你的同在,有你为我开的路。”

🙏 祷告回应

主啊,
我承认我内心困惑、疲惫,像是失去了方向的旅人。
我曾努力想找回那辆车——我以为的使命、能力与计划,
但如今我明白,真正要找回的不是车,而是你自己。

主啊,求你使我回转,让我不靠自己挣扎,
而是在你面前降服,让你的爱再次吸引我、更新我。

复新我的日子,像东方的日出,带来新的一天、新的光与新生命。
让我回到你起初为我设立的道路上,
再次因你而有动力、信心与清晰的方向。

奉耶稣基督的名祷告,阿们。

📖 Renewed Direction: Returning to the Glory of the Beginning

🗓 Date: July 21, 2025
📍 Scripture: Lamentations 5:21
“Restore us to yourself, Lord, that we may return; renew our days as of old.”

🌙 Dream Reflection: The Missing Car

In my dream, I remembered that my car was parked at “home.”
It was a familiar and safe place, where finding direction should’ve been the easiest.

Yet no matter how hard I looked, I just couldn’t find the car.

This wasn’t just an ordinary dream—it carried a deep spiritual message.
I had lost my sense of direction, energy, and drive to move forward.
Even though the “car” was supposed to be there, it was gone.

📖 Scriptural Insight: Returning and Renewing

Lamentations 5:21 is a prayer spoken after Israel was taken into exile and the temple lay in ruins. The people had lost God’s presence, the worship at the temple, and their spiritual identity. Their “home”—Jerusalem—was no longer the place they knew.

In this verse, the prophet cries out with two requests:

First: “Restore us to yourself, Lord, that we may return.”
—True repentance isn’t something we can accomplish on our own. It begins with God’s mercy touching our hearts and enabling us to turn back.

Second: “Renew our days as of old.”
—This is not just a longing for the comfort of the past, but a deep desire to return to a state where God’s presence ruled and reigned among them.

✨ The Word “of Old” in Hebrew: קדם (Kedem)

The Hebrew word kedem, translated as “of old,” is rich in meaning.

Its first meaning is “the past” or “the beginning,” referring to the days when people walked closely with God.
Its second meaning is “the east” or “the sunrise,” symbolizing the direction of light. In the Bible, the east often represents God’s presence, the coming of glory, and the beginning of something new.
It also carries the idea of origin or divine design—God’s original intention for harmony, identity, and purpose.

So the phrase “as of old” isn’t about nostalgia. It’s a longing to:

– Return to intimacy with God
– Return to spiritual clarity and passion
– Return to the path God originally designed for us

🔥 Connecting the Dream and the Verse

In the dream, I couldn’t find my car, even though I knew it was at home.

The “car” represents purpose, calling, and spiritual movement.
The “home” represents spiritual identity, rest, and security.

I thought the car was where it always had been—just as Israel thought they still held on to their identity as God’s people.
But they had become lost, weak, and confused.

This is the heart of Lamentations 5:21: we long for revival,
but revival begins with returning—not first to action, but to God Himself.

It’s not about regaining momentum by human effort, but crying out to God:
“Restore us to yourself.”
It’s not about fixing the future on our own, but saying to God:
“Renew our days—bring back the light, your presence, and the road you’ve marked out for me.”

🙏 Prayer Response

Lord,
I confess I feel confused and weary, like a traveler who’s lost their way.
I’ve tried hard to find that car—the mission, the strength, the plan I thought I needed—
But now I realize, what I truly need to find… is You.

Lord, please bring me back.
Not by my own striving, but by surrendering before you,
Let your love draw me again. Let it renew me.

Renew my days like the sunrise from the east—
Bringing a new day, new light, and new life.
Bring me back to the road you designed from the beginning,
That I may walk again with clarity, strength, and faith.

In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
