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。 退休后的第一个普通星期一，我不知道怎样安排时间。在这个具体处境中，先看清已经发生的事，再分辨我能承担的部分。信仰的回应可以在一次诚实的表达与一个具体行动中慢慢展开。 今天可以这样练习：为一天安排休息、必要事务和一次连接，不急着填满空白。 回应经文不一定是宏大的决定。一个能在今天完成的小行动，可能比笼统地要求自己改变更诚实。
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. An ordinary Monday after retirement leaves me unsure how to use the day. Begin with what actually happened and distinguish your responsibilities. A faithful response can unfold through honest words and a concrete action. A practice for today: Plan rest, essentials, and one connection without rushing to fill every gap. Responding to Scripture need not mean a grand decision. One achievable action today may be more honest than a vague promise to change.
