如何高枕無憂
詩篇第三篇
1（大衛逃避他兒子押沙龍的時候作的詩。）耶和華啊，我的敵人何其加增；有許多人起來攻擊我。
2有許多人議論我說：他得不著 神的幫助。（細拉）
3但你─耶和華是我四圍的盾牌，是我的榮耀，又是叫我抬起頭來的。
4我用我的聲音求告耶和華，他就從他的聖山上應允我。（細拉）
5我躺下睡覺，我醒著，耶和華都保佑我。
6雖有成萬的百姓來周圍攻擊我，我也不怕。
7耶和華啊，求你起來！我的 神啊，求你救我！因為你打了我一切仇敵的腮骨，敲碎了惡人的牙齒。
8救恩屬乎耶和華；願你賜福給你的百姓。（細拉）

這次逼使他逃亡的，正是背叛了他的親生兒子押沙龍。當我們想做神的工作，但阻撓我們的正是自己的家人，那種感覺就最為難受了。大衛可以怎樣做呢？我們可以從他身上學到甚麼功課呢？
在急難中的大衛，對神仍有絕對的信心，深信神仍在他的身邊，當他呼求祂的時候，祂仍然垂聽。神沒有離棄他。無論他幾時向神呼求，神都願意垂聽。
信心為他帶來平安。他內心真的有平安，你看！他能夠安然入睡，簡直是安枕無憂！若然要他講述昨晚的事，他準會說：「我向神呼求，神垂聽了，我倒頭便睡，很快就睡著了。」你是否也經常這樣呢？抑或，當遇到困難，便徹夜難眠，左思右想，擔心自己處理不來，又掛心神會置之不理？
大衛經歷了連番傷痛，最後才重掌王位。大衛雖然想盡辦法要保存兒子押沙龍的性命，可是，心願最終還是落空，押沙龍始終被殺死了。儘管如此，大衛卻沒有對神失掉信心，神也確實帶領他經過一切。
請記著，即使你要走過幽暗的道路，情況看似愈變愈糟，但是，只要神與你同行，你就一定會有出路。神永遠在你的身邊，祂時刻垂聽你的呼求。
反思：
神的旨意永遠不會帶領你到一個地方，是祂的恩典也保護不到你的。
How to Have a Good Night's Sleep
Psalm 3
1 LORD, how they have increased who trouble me!
Many are they who rise up against me.
2 Many are they who say of me,
“There is no help for him in God.” Selah
3 But You, O LORD, are a shield for me,
My glory and the One who lifts up my head.
4 I cried to the LORD with my voice,
And He heard me from His holy hill. Selah
5 I lay down and slept;
I awoke, for the LORD sustained me.
6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people
Who have set themselves against me all around.
7 Arise, O LORD;
Save me, O my God!
For You have struck all my enemies on the cheekbone;
You have broken the teeth of the ungodly.
8 Salvation belongs to the LORD.
Your blessing is upon Your people. Selah
Message
This time it was one of his own sons, Absalom, who had turned against him. It is always hardest when our own family makes it hard for us to do what God wants us to do. What could David do? What can we learn from him?
David was absolutely sure that God was still near him and heard him when he called. God had not left him. As often as he cried, God heard him.
The result of this faith was peace. In fact he was so much as peace that he slept very well that night! The order of events was, 'I cried, God heard, I slept!' Have you always been able to say that? Or have you stayed awake worrying about what you are going to do or thinking about what God is going to do?
For David everything got worse before he was restored to the throne. Even his son was killed, though David had done everything he could to prevent that happening. But David never lost his faith in God and God brought him through.
Remember, with God the way is always through, even though your way may be dark and things seem to be only getting worse. God is always near. He always hears your cry.
Think About This:
The will of God will never lead you where the grace of God cannot keep you.
