归向上帝 [Turn Back to the Lord]

书卷：耶利米哀歌（旧约）
作者：耶利米

耶利米哀歌3章40节：“我们当深深考察自己的行为，再归向耶和华。”

今日默想：临到众人的痛苦和困难，是为了提醒他们省察自己的心，以至改变自己不符合上帝圣道的行径。我们可以发现，想归回上帝的人是非常需要自省的。让人联想到施洗约翰在预备弥赛亚的到来时，也要人承认他们的罪，在约旦河里受他的洗。或许我们可以说人回转归向上帝的过程是从察觉自己的罪恶与不足开始的。今天，你考察自己的行为了吗?

Book: Lamentations (Old Testament)
Author: Jeremiah

Lamentations 3:40 :“Let us search out and examine our ways, and turn back to the Lord;”

Today’s Meditation: The pains and difficulties that land on us are prepared to remind ourselves and change our acts that do not fit the way of God. To turn back to the Lord, we need introspection. This brings us to the time when Baptist John was telling people to repent their sins and get baptised at the Jordan River. In another way, we can say that the process of turning back to the Lord starts from realising our sins and insufficiencies. Have you examine yourself today?
