經文: 「祢必起來憐恤錫安，因現在是可憐她的時候，日期已經到了。祢的僕人原來喜悅她的石頭，可憐她的塵土。」（詩篇一○二︰13，14）

我們為教會所做的禱告，上帝必垂聽，祂是不誤事的上帝，祂的時刻必會來到。我們喜愛參加禱告會、主日學、以及各樣的聚會，在主裡我們靈裡相通，我真要說︰「在主的羊圈中，沒有一隻羊，我們可以不屑一顧；在上帝的羊圈中，也沒有一隻羊，在他面前，我們須自慚形穢。」
弟兄姊妹們若能彼此接納，大家在聚會中必能享受主同在的喜樂；同時，不但信徒得著復興，罪人也能悔改，如此，會眾必逐日增多。這一切都仰賴主的恩典，這恩典必會來到，我們可以翹首企盼這日子。而這時辰，上帝早已設定，必不耽延。
讓我們彼此激勵，愛錫安的活石，即使這活石並不堅固。但我們要愛那軟弱的肢體，眷顧那不體面的弟兄姊妹。即使有些人在教會中很渺小，毫不起眼，但你若愛錫安，你必愛上帝所愛的信徒；若你以聖工為樂，上帝也必堅固你手中所做的一切事。

Scripture: "Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favor her, yea, the set time, is come. For Thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favor the dust thereof"(Psalm 102:13-14).
Yes, our prayers for the church will be heard. The set time is come. We love the prayer meetings, and the Sunday school, and all the services of the LORD's house. We are bound in heart to all the people of God and can truly say,
There's not a lamb in all thy flock
I would disdain to feed
There's not a foe before whose face
I'd fear thy cause to plead.
If this is the general feeling, we shall soon enjoy times of refreshing from the presence of the LORD. Our assemblies will be filled, saints will be revived, and sinners will be converted. This can only come of the LORD's mercy; but it will come, and we are called upon to expect it. The time, the set time, is come. Let us bestir ourselves. Let us love every stone of our Zion, even though it may be fallen down. Let us treasure up the least truth, the least ordinance, the least believer, even though some may despise them as only so much dust. When we favor Zion, God is about to favor her. When we take pleasure in the LORD's work, the LORD Himself will take pleasure in it.
