這是神親口說的（賽五十八）中英bilingual

你若在安息日掉轉你的腳步，在我聖日不以操作為喜樂，稱安息日為可喜樂的，稱耶和華的聖日為可尊重的；而且尊敬這日，不辦自己的私事，不隨自己的私意，不說自己的私話，你就以耶和華為樂。（賽 58：13-14a） 

讚美詩101首「專愛耶穌」，一直是筆者所喜愛的一首詩歌，在四節的歌詞中，從「專愛己，不愛耶穌」層層遞進，最後以「不愛己，只愛耶穌」作結尾。 

今天我們真信徒遵守安息日，就像是這首詩歌的內容，在「愛耶穌」和「愛自己」之間產生拉鋸，有時候在事奉中，體驗到神的開路、神的動工，與神的關係非常親近，但有時雖然人在教會，腳步卻不停歇，依然心繫著手機中的「花花」世界，甚至偶爾會因為私事，在星期六時「請假」半天。 

天父真神說：安息日是「我的聖日」，神希望我們「尊重」這日，並在其中來得到「喜樂」，就像是爸爸休假在家，希望能夠與孩子有更長時間陪伴，更深刻的互動，建立良好的親子關係，給予孩子更多的幸福和安全感，而我們是虛應了事，覺得來日方長呢？還是我們也很愛我們的天父，從星期五日落開始，直到星期六的日落，願意珍惜每一刻彼此「高品質」的陪伴？ 

耶和華要使你乘駕地的高處，又以你祖雅各的產業養育你。這是耶和華親口說的。（賽 58：14b） 

切實遵守安息日的福氣有兩方面：其一是「使你乘駕地的高處」，意指「屬世」的福氣（參申 33：13-14）；其二是「以你祖雅各的產業養育你」，代表領受真理（參申 33：4），這是「屬靈」的福氣。 而這些福氣都是「神親口說的」，神的話就像雨雪從天降下，決不徒然返回（參賽 55：10-11），只要我們專心遵守安息日，屬世和屬靈的福氣都是我們可以滿懷期待的，如同期待一趟旅程，機票和飯店爸爸都訂好了，只要我們緊緊跟著爸爸的腳步，就能享受這趟旅程的美好，然而人的信心卻時常在軟弱中起伏不定，我們常常選擇走自己的路，而不願意跟隨神的腳步，與神的關係若即若離，自然就對神所應許的福氣「無感」。 

因為凡被神的靈引導的，都是神的兒子。你們所受的，不是奴僕的心，仍舊害怕；所受的，乃是兒子的心，因此我們呼叫：「阿爸！父！」（羅 8：14-15） 

感謝神，我們的軟弱有聖靈幫助，聖靈親自用說不出的嘆息為我們禱告，聖靈要按照神的旨意替我們祈求（參羅 8：26-27），我們就要進入一切的真理，而在明白真理、實踐真理的同時，對於神的信實、神的豐富就會有所體驗，我們就知道這位天父並不是虛無飄渺、遙不可及，而是實實在在、長相左右，隨時隨地都在等待我們呼叫的阿爸父。 

願主幫助我們，能夠全心全意紀念安息日，守為聖日，做一個以神為樂的真信徒，享受在基督裡的喜樂與富足。 

似乎憂愁，卻是常常快樂的；似乎貧窮，卻是叫許多人富足的；似乎一無所有，卻是樣樣都有的。（林後 6：10）

This Is What God Himself Has Spoken (Isaiah 58)

這是神親口說的

June 19, 2026

If, because of the Sabbath, you restrain your foot From doing as you wish on My holy day, And call the Sabbath a pleasure, and the holy day of the Lord honorable, And honor it, desisting from your own ways, From seeking your own pleasure And speaking your own word, Then you will take delight in the Lord.

（Isaiah 58:13-14 NASB2020）

Hymn No. 101, “Love Jesus Only,” has always been one of my favorite hymns. Through its four verses, the lyrics progress step by step from “loving oneself instead of loving Jesus” to the concluding theme of “not loving oneself, but loving Jesus only.”

For us true believers today, keeping the Sabbath often resembles the message of this hymn. There is a constant struggle between "loving Jesus" and "loving ourselves". At times, while serving God, we experience His guidance and mighty work, drawing us into a close relationship with Him. Yet at other times, although we are physically present in church, our hearts remain restless and steps

don't stop,captivated by the colorful distractions on our phones.Occasionally, for personal matters, we may even “take half a day off” from the Sabbath.

Our Heavenly Father says that the Sabbath is “My holy day.” He desires that we honor this day and find delight in it. It is much like a father who is home on his day off, hoping to spend more time with his children, enjoy deeper interaction with them, strengthen the parent-child relationship, and provide them with a greater sense of happiness and security.

Will we merely go through the motions, assuming there will always be another opportunity later? Or do we truly love our Heavenly Father enough that, from Friday sunset until Saturday sunset, we treasure every moment of this "high-quality" time spent with Him?

And I will make you ride on the heights of the earth; And I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father, For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.

（Isaiah 58:14 NASB2020）

There are two blessings promised to those who faithfully keep the Sabbath:

1. “To ride on the heights of the earth” refers to earthly blessings and God’s provision in our daily lives (cf. Deuteronomy 33:13–14). 2. “To feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father” represents receiving spiritual blessings, particularly the nourishment of God’s truth (cf. Deuteronomy 33:4).

These blessings are not merely human hopes—they are promises that “the mouth of the LORD has spoken.” God’s word is like the rain and snow that come down from heaven and never return empty(cf. Isaiah 55:10–11). As long as we wholeheartedly keep the Sabbath, we may confidently look forward to both earthly and spiritual blessings. It is like preparing for a wonderful journey: the Father has already booked the tickets and reserved the hotel. All we need to do is stay close to Him and follow His lead to enjoy the beauty of the trip. Yet our faith often rises and falls with our weaknesses. We frequently choose our own path rather than follow God’s footsteps. When our relationship with Him becomes distant and inconsistent, we naturally become insensitive to the blessings He has promised.

For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons and daughters of God. For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons and daughters by which we cry out, “Abba! Father!”

(Romans 8:14-15 NASB2020)

Thank God that in

our weakness, we have the help of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words, praying on our behalf according to the will of God (cf. Romans 8:26–27). Through His guidance, we are led into all truth. As we come to understand and put that truth into practice, we begin to experience God’s faithfulness and abundance firsthand. We then realize that our Heavenly Father is not distant, abstract, or beyond reach; rather, He is real, ever-present, and always by our side, waiting for us to call upon Him as “Abba, Father.”

May the Lord help us wholeheartedly remember the Sabbath and keep it holy. May we become true believers who delight in God, enjoying the joy and richness that are found in Christ.

As sorrowful yet always rejoicing, as poor yet making many rich, as having nothing and yet possessing all things.

(2 Corinthians 6:10 NASB2020)
