背诵经文

以赛亚书 25:4

开头的祷告(5-10分钟)

团队建造(10分钟)

事先在冰棒棍上写一些圣经书名，将这些冰棒棍放在一个小容器里。

把学生分成两组。每组轮流从小容器里拿一根冰棒棍，尝试说出属于那本书的一节经文，同时将那根冰棒棒放在容器外。如果他们能凭记忆做到这一点，他们就得两分。

如果小组学生不知道那本书的经文，他们可以查圣经，读相应的经文。为此，他们只得一分。每组有两分钟的时间来挣得尽可能多的积分。

为获胜组准备一些糖果等小奖品，会增加竞争的激励程度和开心程度。

课堂起头(5分钟)

诗篇 91 是大卫写的一首诗歌，鼓励其他人像他一样跟随信靠耶和华。他希望那些听到这首歌的人知道，神的居所是一个安全的地方，和祂一起生活，并为祂而活，应该让我们感到很自然安心。在这一章里，他给出了许多理由，说明为什么神是我们唯一的避难所，是我们通往永远安全幸福的唯一途径，以及为什么当我们选择祂时就不会再受到伤害。

读 以赛亚书 25:4

问题讨论：

1. 你认为这节经文说的是什么？（神是穷人的避难所，也是需要帮助之人、受压迫之人的避难所。）

2. 根据我们已经学到的，它与诗篇 91 有什么关系？（神是所有人都可以安居的地方。）

3. 你认为这节经文中的“墙”代表什么？（这堵墙是我们的生活，它被这个世界里无情的、邪恶和与神对抗的力量所摧毁。）

深入学习(30分钟)

我们将一起练习一种古老的阅读圣经的做法，可以帮助大家默想那些有意义的词。这种做法非常适用于阅读诗篇等诗歌形式的文字。我们将用不同的方式一起读4遍这段经文，然后我们将回顾这段经文并讨论其含义。

1. 每个人自己安静地读诗篇 91篇。

2. 老师大声朗读诗篇 91 篇。

3. 在房间里转着圈让每个人读诗篇 91 篇中的一节经文。

4. 最后让每个人再一次安静地自读一遍诗篇 91 篇。

问题讨论：

1. 诗篇 91 篇让你印象最深的是什么？（收集各种回答。）

2. 在第二次、第三次和第四次阅读/聆听时，你是否注意到某些新内容？你注意到了什么？（学生可能会指出某个特定的单词、短语，甚至停顿……让他们告诉你，为什么这些让他们印象深刻。）

现在我们逐段来读这一篇，将其分解来作进一步研究。

重读 诗篇 91:1-8

问题讨论：

1. “至高者”和“全能者”都代表神，大卫为什么用两个不同的头衔来描述？（他用重复的诗意手法来强调神的品格。）

2. 根据上下文，瘟疫这个词是什么意思？（致命的疾病或流行病。）

3. 这个翻译使用了比喻，神用祂的翎毛遮蔽我们，把我们放在“祂的翅膀底下”。为什么要用这个修辞手法？（这是另一种方法介绍神是我们的庇护所，祂给我们安全和遮盖。）

4. 什么样的人是“恶人”？（反对神反对善的人。）

重读 诗篇 91:9-16

问题讨论：

1. 如何让神成为我们的居所？（居住意味着住来里面 - 顺服、遵循、交流、联结，都是我们“居住”在神里面的方式）

2. “我们的帐篷”可能代表什么？我们的生活？我们的家园？（在旧约的语境中，帐幕/圣殿是神的居所……这里的“帐棚”可能是代表神所在的地方。）

3. 在大多数比喻或其他圣经故事中，蛇通常代表撒旦，所以在这节经文中，大卫说我们将征服撒旦。你认为“狮子”代表谁/什么？（这也是对邪恶/撒旦的描述......是一个掠夺者，我们受其伤害。）

4. 根据大卫的说法，神似乎要在我们尊重祂和祂保护我们之间达成一个约定？你能理解这个吗？你同意吗？（在这节经文中似乎很清楚，神会保护那些与祂建立关系的人。）

5. 有永生的应许，你会选择跟随神吗？你认为这个决定很自然吗？（即使这么一个美好的应许，还是有很多人拒绝它，……允许学生分享他们的想法。）

应用(15分钟)

让我们再看看以赛亚书 25:4。请一位学生再读这节经文，然后提出以下问题。

读 以赛亚书 25:4

问题讨论：

1. 这节经文与诗篇 91 相关吗？（是的，避难所，保护等概念都在这里。）

2. 在你看来，哪一段更好地描述了“保护”这个概念？（它们的描述方式略有不同……很显然，如果我们与神同住，祂就会成为我们安然居住的地方。）

以赛亚书是一位住在犹大国的同名先知所写的。他预言了弥赛亚的到来，并对神赐给我们的这份礼物提供了深刻的洞察。这位弥赛亚将是人类最伟大的保护者。

大卫是一个年轻的牧羊人，后来成了王，他写了许多诗篇赞美神，并把耶和华的荣耀告诉那些阅读诗篇的人。

大卫似乎说明了这样一个事实：只要我们选择跟随祂，神就会保护我们免受一切伤害，并会邀请我们进入祂的庇护所。无论我们的价值、职位或社会地位如何，只要我们尊崇祂，祂就会爱护珍惜我们。以赛亚，至少在第 25 章第 4 节，似乎说无论在什么情况下，神都会爱我们，不管我们是否承认祂为我们所做的一切。即使我们选择不尊崇祂，祂也会继续尊重我们，并在天国为我们提供一个住处，如果我们请求祂的宽恕并悔改，我们就能享受那个地方。

一般讨论：

• 对神如何悦纳我们，大卫和以赛亚的看法有很大不同吗？（两者都谈到神的应许：保护，和我们的回应：尊崇或悔改等。）

• 这些人的不同经历会如何影响他们对这个问题的看法？（以赛亚在说预言，大卫在写诗歌，所以背景及上下文肯定是不同的……他们的生活经历肯定会让他们去强调不同的事情或以不同的方式来看待事情。）

两个人来自不同的时代和不同的职业。他们有着不同的社会规则和不同的生活方式，但他们谈论的关于信仰的想法却是相同的。诚然，尽管距离他们最初写成的时间已经过去了数千年，他们的话今天仍然适用于我们。

诗篇 91 篇讲述了，当我们选择跟随神，并专注于祂和祂的话时，神可以为我们所做的一切。祂为我们死，使我们可以在天国永远平安地生活，使我们的罪得到赦免，被神洗净。祂拣选了我们生活在祂的国度里，如果我们相信祂并按照祂的话去做，我们将可以永远与祂同住，在那里我们不会受到伤害，我们也不会犯罪。

一般讨论：

• 你“住在”神里面吗？如何“住在”神里面？（让学生分享他们对自己生活的看法以及居住的含义 - 顺服、友谊、与其他信徒共处等。）

• 如何看待神在你生命中的保护？（让学生分享经历。）

• 神会保护我们免受一切的邪恶/疾病/困难，如果我们尊崇祂？（不......这不符合圣经......我们在世上会遇到困难......但神永恒的居所是为那些尊崇祂的人而预备的，我们对那一天充满希望。）

结束祷告(2分钟)

问大家是否有任何需要祷告的事项，然后为大家作祷告。

Psalms

Lesson 6: Psalm 91 

LESSON OBJECTIVES

Goals

1.To inspire students to trust in the Lord.

2.To help the student feel comfortable wanting to dwell in the place of the Lord.

3.To aid them in understanding with renewed enthusiasm that God loves us.

Topics

Protection, Relationship

Scripture Memorization

Isaiah 25:4

OPENING PRAYER (5 to 10 minutes)

GROUP BUILDING (10 minutes)

You’ll need some popsicle sticks, having written the books of the Bible on them in advance, as well as a small container in which to place those sticks.

Split the students into two groups. The popsicle sticks will be in the container, and each group will take turns picking up a popsicle stick, trying to say a verse that belongs in that book, and setting it outside the container. If they can do this from memory, they get two points.

If a certain popsicle stick has a book on it that the team knows no verses from, they may look up that book and recite a verse by reading it. For this they only get one point. Each team gets two minutes to earn as many points as they can.

Small prizes like candy for the winning team will increase competition and enjoyment.

GETTING STARTED (5 minutes)

Psalm 91 is a song written by David encouraging others to follow and trust in the Lord, just as he does. He wants those that hear the song to learn that God’s dwelling is a safe place, that we should be comfortable living with Him and for Him. In this chapter, he gives many reasons why God is our only refuge, the only path to eternal safety and happiness, and why no harm will overtake us if we choose Him.

Read Isaiah 25:4

Discussion Questions:

1. What do you think this verse is saying? (That God is a refuge for the poor, a shelter for those in need, the oppressed, etc.)

2. Based on what we’ve already learned, how might it relate to Psalm 91? (God is a safe place for all to dwell.)

3. What do you think “the wall” represents in this verse? (The wall is our lives, and it is battered by the ruthless, the evil, and the forces that are against God in this world.)

DIGGING IN (30 minutes)

We’re going to practice something known as Lectio Divina together again this week. This is an ancient practice for reading Scripture that helps you meditate on the meaningful words. It’s perfect for reading poetic literature like the psalms. We’ll read this passage together 4 times in different ways, then we’ll go back through the passage and have some discussion about what it means.

1. Have everyone read Psalm 91 to themselves quietly.

2. As the leader, read Psalm 91 a second time out loud.

3. Go around the room and ask each person to read a single verse from Psalm 91.

4. Have everyone read Psalm 91 to themselves quietly one last time.

Discussion Questions:

1. What struck you about Psalm 91? (Gather opinions.)

2. Did you notice new things about the chapter as you read/heard it for the second, third and fourth times? What did you notice? (Students may point out particular words, phrases, even pauses in the text…ask them to tell you more about why they stuck out to them.)

Now we will go back through the chapter, breaking it apart and looking further into its meaning.

Re-read Psalm 91:1-8

Discussion Questions:

1. “The Most High” and “The Almighty” both represent God, so why do you think David describes them with two separate titles? (He is using the poetic device of repetition to emphasize God’s character.)

2. Based on context, what do you think the word pestilence means? (A fatal disease or epidemic.)

3. This translation uses the metaphor that God covers us with His feathers and puts us “under His wings”. Why do you think the figure of speech applies to this chapter? (It is another way of introducing the fact that God is our shelter, that He provides safety and a covering.)

4. What kind of person would you define as “wicked?” (Someone who is opposed to God, opposed to good.)

Re-read Psalm 91:9-16

Discussion Questions:

1. How do we make God our dwelling, rather than just heaven being a dwelling? (To dwell means to exist within — surrender, abiding, relationship, connection are all ways we ‘dwell’ in God)

2. What might “our tent” represent? Our lives? Our homes? (In OT language, the tabernacle/temple was the dwelling place of God…the “tent” here may simply represent wherever God is.)

3. In most parables or other Bible stories, a serpent or a snake normally represents Satan, so in this verse, David is saying that we will conquer Satan. Who/what do you think “the great lion” represents? (That is also a depiction of evil/Satan…he is a predator who means us harm.)

4. According to David, the Lord seems to require an agreement between us honoring Him and Him protecting us? Does this make sense to you? Do you agree with it? (This seems clear in the verse that God will protect those who allow Him to by entering into a relationship with Him.)

5. With the gift of eternal life, would you choose to follow God in return? Do you think that decision is common? (So many reject it, even as such a great promise…but allow students to share what they think.)

MAKING IT REAL (15 minutes)

Let’s take another look at Isaiah 25:4. Have a student read the verse again, and then ask the group the following questions.

Read Isaiah 25:4

Discussion Questions:

1. Did this verse relate to Psalm 91 in the way you thought it would, if at all? (Yes, the ideas of refuge, protection, etc. are all present there.)

2. In your opinion, which passage describes protection better? (They both describe it in slightly different ways…what is clear is that if we dwell with God, He will be there for us to be a safe place.)

Isaiah was written by a prophet of the same name who lived in the Kingdom of Judah. He wrote prophesying the Messiah’s arrival and providing insight to God’s gifts to us. This Messiah would be a great protector of all.

David was a young shepherd who became King and who wrote many of the Psalms in the book of songs praising God and informing those who read Psalms of the Lord’s glory.

David seems to illustrate the fact that God will protect us from all harm and invite us into His shelter, providing that we choose to follow Him. No matter our worth, ranking, or social status, He will love and cherish us when we honor Him. Isaiah, at least in verse 4 of chapter 25, seems to say that God will love us no matter the circumstance, whether we acknowledge what He has done for us or not. Even if we choose not to honor Him, He will continue to honor us, and offer us a place in heaven, which we will enjoy if we ask for His forgiveness and repent.

General Discussion:

• Would you consider David and Isaiah’s views on God’s acceptance considerably different? (Both speak of God’s promise (to protect) and our response (to honor or repent, etc.)

• How do you think these men’s different experiences would affect their views on this topic? (Isaiah is prophesying, David is writing a poem, so their context is different for sure…and their life experience surely causes them to emphasize different things or look at things a different way.)

Both men come from different times and different occupations. They come from different eras of law and lifestyle, yet still talk about the same ideas regarding faith. Sure enough, their words are still applicable to us today, thousands of years removed from when they were first written.

Psalm 91 is a chapter talking about everything that God can do for us when we choose to follow and focus on Him and His message. He died for us, so we could live eternally peacefully in heaven, so we could be forgiven of our sins and washed clean by God. He has already chosen us to live in His kingdom, and if we trust in Him and do what He asks, we will be free to live with Him forever, where no harm can come to us and we are safe from sin.

General Discussion:

• Do you think you “dwell” in God? How? (Allow students to share what they think about their own lives and what dwelling means — obedience, friendship, existing in community with other believers, etc.)

• How have you seen God’s protection in your life? (Allow students to share these experiences.)

• Do you think God will always protect us from every evil/illness/trouble, even if we honor Him? (No…that is not Scriptural…we will encounter trouble in the world…but God’s eternal dwelling place is there for those who honor Him, and we have hope in this life of that day.)

CLOSING PRAYER (2 minutes)

Ask for any prayer requests and then pray for the group.
