生命的脆弱（2026.06.06）
今日讀經：以賽亞書 40：6；詩篇 90：1–6
「凡有血氣的盡都如草，他的美容都像野地的花。」-以賽亞書 40：6
我們今天的經文強調了兩個指向同一事實的嚴肅真理：人類的虛榮毫無立足之地；人的驕傲不過是徹底的愚昧。
我們的身體如草一般脆弱，有著無法掩飾的缺陷。歲月在我們的臉上留痕，即使化妝也無法掩蓋。我們的雙腿變得無力，膝蓋顫抖，雙手垂落，眼睛模糊，頭上長出的每一根白髮都在提醒我們：生命是何等短暫。
我們也有情感上的軟弱。有時，我們會對生命感到絕望。我們會哭泣、呻吟、嗚咽，被痛苦折磨。此外，我們還有道德和屬靈上的軟弱。我們承諾要行在公義中，雙腳卻常誤入歧途。我們是模稜兩可與自相矛盾的人。我們立志行善，卻行不出來；我們恨惡惡，反倒去作。
除了像草一樣脆弱，我們所成就的一切榮耀，也像野地的花般轉瞬即逝。烈日的炙熱會讓嬌嫩的花朵枯萎凋零。我們的榮耀是虛浮的，我們的功績終會消逝，所有的成就最終都會湮沒在時間的塵土之中。我們是如此渺小，如此脆弱，如此短暫！
然而，值得慶幸的是，這並非我們的終局。在主裏面，我們可以確信：我們的命運在祂手中穩如磐石。
禱告
主上帝啊，求你提醒我們自身的脆弱，救我們脫離驕傲。在我們的軟弱中，作我們的力量；在你的榮耀中，以你的生命充滿我們。求你將我們的心，唯獨繫於你這穩固的磐石。阿們。

Scripture Reading — Isaiah 40:6; Psalm 90:1-6
THE FRAGILITY OF LIFE
“All people are like grass, and all their faithfulness is like the flowers of the field.” —Isaiah 40:6
Our text today emphasizes two solemn truths that point to the same fact. There is no room for human vanity. Human pride is nothing but utter foolishness.
Our bodies are as fragile as grass. We have physical weaknesses that cannot be disguised. Time carves wrinkles into our faces, and make-up cannot cover it. Our legs become weak, our knees wobble, our hands droop, our eyes blur, and every gray hair that sprouts on our heads is a reminder of the shortness of our lives.
We also have emotional weaknesses. There are times when we despair of life itself. We cry, we moan, we sob, assailed by anguish. We have moral and spiritual weaknesses as well. We promise to walk in righteousness, and yet our feet often stray down winding paths. We are ambiguous and contradictory people. The good we want to do, we do not do; and the evil we hate, we practice.
Besides being fragile like grass, all the glory we achieve has a fleeting beauty like that of the flowers of the field. The heat of the sun makes the delicate flower wither and dry. Our glory is fleeting, and our accomplishments pass away. Our achievements are lost in the dust of time. We are too small, too fragile, too young!
But, thankfully, that doesn’t have to be our end. In the Lord we can trust that our destiny is safe with him.
PRAYER
O God, remind us of our frailty and free us from pride. In our weakness, be our strength. In your glory, fill us with your life. Anchor our hearts in you alone. Amen.
