在神凡事都能(耶三十三)中英bilingual

成就的是耶和華，造作、為要建立的也是耶和華；耶和華是他的名。他如此說：你求告我，我就應允你，並將你所不知道、又大又難的事指示你。（耶 33：2） 

本章的一開頭就以「成就的是耶和華」接續32章「在神豈有難成的事」來敘述將來以色列民必歸回的應許。未來會如何我們沒有人知道，就像以色列民歸回一樣，70年的時間很長，有些人甚至是等到年老髮白了；但為什麼神要讓以色列民經歷這麼長的時間才讓他們歸回呢？ 

歷經每年的教師甄試，我也會想，神啊！我什麼時候才能考上正式教師？我的未來在哪裡？每當落榜時，總會有些無助及軟弱。讀完本章時，有種感觸，以色列民花了70年等待神救恩及應許，而我呢？這應該就是神要我學習的功課吧！學習靜默等候神的時候，更要在此期間學習更親近神、倚靠神。就像神要以色列百姓等候一樣，等候什麼呢？等候神的時候來到、等候神的救恩降臨。再者，其實我們所想、所求的，神都是知道，那祂要的是什麼？祂在等我們求告祂、信靠祂。 

聖經中因禱告尋求神而得幫助的事件不計其數，這裡也在告訴我們，無論何時，我們都要懂得禱告求問神。多禱告多有能力，靠著禱告讓聖靈充滿，靠著聖靈我們才能明白神的旨意是什麼。(參林前 2 ：10-11) 你們要呼求我，禱告我，我就應允你們。 你們尋求我，若專心尋求我，就必尋見。（耶 29：12-13）  

必再聽見有歡喜和快樂的聲音，新郎和新婦的聲音，並聽見有人說：要稱謝萬軍之耶和華，因耶和華本為善，祂的慈愛永遠長存。又有奉感謝祭到耶和華殿中之人的聲音，因為我必使這地被擄的人歸回，和起初一樣。這是耶和華說的。（耶 33：11） 

歡喜快樂的聲音，新郎新婦的聲音，即神再次應許以色列民必歸回，預言將來這些百姓要結束被擄的日子，而百姓因為神的赦免及拯救，發出的喜樂、感謝及讚美。藉由這段經節，我們可以想像一下那個畫面，那種愉快的心情，那種由心發出的快樂。就像是我們在學校中、工作崗位上得到的讚賞，大家也都會很有成就感，很想要分享給周遭的朋友及家人們，就像是那樣的感覺吧！但最大且唯一的不同是世上的成就或是小確幸，會隨著時間的流逝消散，更會隨著人的離開轉眼成空；但神信實且不變的，祂給我們的應許是真實的、是永不落空的。 

我們應當掌握神為我們準備的上好福份，存敬畏的心，遠離惡事，才能得蒙神的保守與拯救，最終才能進入神為我們預備的天家，與主一同享受那好的無比的喜樂。 

當稱謝進入他的門； 當讚美進入他的院。 當感謝他，稱頌他的名！ 因為耶和華本為善。 他的慈愛存到永遠； 他的信實直到萬代。（ 詩 100：4-5）

With God, All Things Are Possible (Jeremiah 33)

July 30, 2026 

"The One who made the earth, the LORD who formed it to establish it, the LORD is His name, says this: 'Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do notk now.'"  

(Jeremiah 33:2 NASB)

This chapter opens with the declaration, "The One who made the earth... is the LORD," continuing the theme from Jeremiah 32: "Is anything too difficult for Me?" It points to God's promise that the people of Israel would one day return from exile.

None of us knows what the future holds. Just as the Israelites waited for their return, seventy years was an extremely long time. Some of them had grown old with gray hair before seeing God's promise fulfilled. Why, did God allow His people to wait so long before bringing them back?

After going through the annual teacher certification examinations year after year, I often prayed, "Lord, when will I finally become a certified teacher? Where does my future lie?" Every time I failed, I felt discouraged and helpless. As I reflected on this chapter, I was deeply touched. The Israelites waited seventy years for God's salvation and promise. What about me? Perhaps this is the lesson God wants me to learn—to wait quietly upon Him. During that time of waiting, I must also learn to draw closer to Him and rely on Him more fully. Just as God asked the Israelites to wait, what were they waiting for? They were waiting for God's appointed time and for His salvation to come.In fact, God already knows everything we think and desire. So what is He waiting for? He is waiting for us to call upon Him and to trust in Him.

The Bible contains countless examples of people who sought God through prayer and received His help. This passage reminds us that, no matter what we face, we should always pray and seek the Lord's guidance. The more we pray, the more spiritual strength we receive. Through prayer, we are filled with the Holy Spirit, and through the Holy Spirit we are able to understand God's will.(See1 Corinthians 2:10–11)

"Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart." (Jeremiah 29:12–13, NASB 2020)

"Once again there will be heard in this place... the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the groom and the voice of the bride, the voices of those who say, 'Give thanks to the LORD of armies, For the LORD is good, For His mercy is everlasting'; and of those who bring a thanksgiving offering into the house of the LORD. For I will restore the fortunes of the land as they were at first," says the LORD. (Jeremiah 33:10–11, NASB 2020)

The voices of joy, gladness, the bridegroom, and the bride once again testify to God's promise that Israel would return from exile. These verses foretell the end of their captivity. Having experienced God's forgiveness and salvation, the people would respond with joy, thanksgiving, and praise. As we read these verses, we can almost picture the scene—the overflowing joy and heartfelt happiness of the people. It is somewhat like the satisfaction we feel when we receive recognition at school or in the workplace. We naturally want to share that joy with our family and friends.Yet there is one great and important difference. The achievements and little joys of this world eventually fade away with time, and they can disappear in an instant when people are gone. But God is faithful and unchanging. The promises He gives us are true and will never fail.

Therefore, we should cherish the abundant blessings that God has prepared for us. With hearts that fear the Lord and turn away from evil, we will receive His protection and salvation. In the end, we will enter the heavenly home He has prepared for us and share in the incomparable joy of being with Him forever.

"Enter His gates with thanksgiving, And His courtyards with praise. Give thanks to Him, bless His name. For the LORD is good; His mercy is everlasting And His faithfulness is to all generations." (Psalm 100:4–5, NASB 2020)
