日光时的结束与希西家王寿命
吴英强
Daylight saving time ends. Please remember to spring your clock backwards 1 hour before you sleep tonight. Thank our Lord that we will have one more hour to rest tonight, and we should better prepare ourselves for tomorrow’s worship.
At the time of King Hezekiah, God performed a miracle by actually making the Sun shadow of Ahaz go back ten steps, as a sign to grant fifteen more years of life to the dying Hezekiah. Unfortunately Hezekiah did not use the time he got wisely; all good works he had established were almost destroyed by the mistakes he made in his last fifteen years. He’d better die at 39 than 54. May God give
us wisdom to number our days and redeem our time.
我必加增你十五年的寿数．并且我要救你和这城脱离亚述王的手．我为自己和我仆人大卫的缘故、必保护这城。以赛亚说、耶和华必成就他所说的、这是他给你的兆头．你要日影向前进十度呢、是要往后退十度呢。希西家回答说、日影向前进十度容易．我要日影往后退十度。先知以赛亚求告耶和华、耶和华就使亚哈斯的日晷向前进的日影、往后退了十度。(II
Kings 20:6-11) 求你指教我们怎样数算自己的日子、好叫我们得着智慧的心。 (Psalm 90:12)
