8-30

There is no place so desolate that you cannot find me there. When Hagar fled from her mistress, Sarah, into the wilderness, she thought she was utterly alone and forsaken. But Hagar encountered me in that desolate place. There she addressed me as the living one who sees me. Through that encounter with my presence, she gained courage to return to her mistress.

No set of circumstances could ever isolate you from my loving presence. Not only do I see you always; I see you as a redeemed saint, gloriously radiant in my righteousness. That is why I take great delight in you and rejoice over you with singing!

 

當夏甲逃離她的主母撒拉，進入荒野時，她以為自己是孤獨和被遺棄的。但在那荒涼之地，夏甲遇見了我。在那裏，她將我稱為那位看顧她的活神。透過與我同在的那個經曆，她獲得勇氣回到她的主母那裏。

任何一種情況都無法將你與我充滿愛的同在隔離開來。我不僅時刻看顧你；我將你看作一個被救贖的聖徒，在我的公義中光彩照人。這就是為什麽我對你感到無比欣喜，並因你喜樂而唱歌！
