雅各家、以色列家一切余剩的、要听我言、你们自从生下、就蒙我保抱、自从出胎、便蒙我怀搋。 直到你们年老、我仍这样、直到你们发白、我仍怀搋。我已造作、也必保抱、我必怀抱、也必拯救。
English
Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne by me from the belly, which are carried from the womb: And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.
在生活中默想 · 灵修解释 · Reflecting in daily life · Devotional interpretation
以赛亚书 46 在对比偶像与神的语境中，强调神对其百姓长久的看顾。默想年长与照护时，应记住这里谈的是神持续的信实。 教长辈使用手机时，我总想直接替他操作完。帮助也可以让对方保留参与和选择。多一点时间，可能比最快完成更尊重人。 今天的一小步：一次只教一个步骤，让对方亲自试，再留下简短说明。 感受值得被承认，但感受不是全部事实。试着区分已经发生的事、自己的解释和还不知道的部分。
English
Isaiah 46 contrasts idols with God and emphasizes lasting care for God's people. Reflection on aging and caregiving should remember the passage's focus on continuing faithfulness. Teaching an older person to use a phone, I am tempted to do everything for them. Help can preserve participation and choice. Giving time may respect someone more than finishing quickly. A small step today: Teach one step at a time, let them try, and leave a short guide. Feelings deserve acknowledgment, but they are not the whole story. Distinguish what happened, your interpretation, and what remains unknown.
