May 30【每日活水】耶和华指引我们的脚步

 

箴言16:1~17

心中的谋算在乎人;
舌头的应对由于耶和华。
人一切所行的,在自己眼中看为清洁;
惟有耶和华衡量人心。
你所做的,要交托耶和华,
你所谋的,就必成立。
耶和华所造的,各适其用;
就是恶人也为祸患的日子所造。
凡心里骄傲的,为耶和华所憎恶;
虽然连手,他必不免受罚。
因怜悯诚实,罪孽得赎;
敬畏耶和华的,远离恶事。
人所行的,若蒙耶和华喜悦,
耶和华也使他的仇敌与他和好。
多有财利,行事不义,
不如少有财利,行事公义。
人心筹算自己的道路;
惟耶和华指引他的脚步。
10  王的嘴中有神语,
审判之时,他的口必不差错。
11  公道的天平和秤都属耶和华;
囊中一切法码都为他所定。
12  作恶,为王所憎恶,
因国位是靠公义坚立。
13  公义的嘴为王所喜悦;
说正直话的,为王所喜爱。
14  王的震怒如杀人的使者;
但智慧人能止息王怒。
15  王的脸光使人有生命;
王的恩典好像春云时雨。
16  得智慧胜似得金子;
选聪明强如选银子。
17  正直人的道是远离恶事;
谨守己路的,是保全性命。
To humans belong the plans of the heart,
but from the Lord comes the proper answer of the tongue.
All a person’s ways seem pure to them,
but motives are weighed by the Lord.
Commit to the Lord whatever you do,
and he will establish your plans.
The Lord works out everything to its proper end—
even the wicked for a day of disaster.
The Lord detests all the proud of heart.
Be sure of this: They will not go unpunished.
Through love and faithfulness sin is atoned for;
through the fear of the Lord evil is avoided.
When the Lord takes pleasure in anyone’s way,
he causes their enemies to make peace with them.
Better a little with righteousness
than much gain with injustice.
In their hearts humans plan their course,
but the Lord establishes their steps.
10  The lips of a king speak as an oracle,
and his mouth does not betray justice.
11  Honest scales and balances belong to the Lord;
all the weights in the bag are of his making.
12  Kings detest wrongdoing,
for a throne is established through righteousness.
13  Kings take pleasure in honest lips;
they value the one who speaks what is right.
14  A king’s wrath is a messenger of death,
but the wise will appease it.
15  When a king’s face brightens, it means life;
his favor is like a rain cloud in spring.
16  How much better to get wisdom than gold,
to get insight rather than silver!
17  The highway of the upright avoids evil;
those who guard their ways preserve their lives.

灵修指南

今天的经文告诉我们,神是我们生活中一切计划的主宰者,我们的人生无法脱离神的指引而恣意妄为。虽然我们在生活中所做的决定不可避免地会带有主观性,但神能够测透我们的内心,超越我们人生的界限(2节)。我们在生活当中,最要紧的智慧是承认神是我们生命的掌权者,并将一切的计划都交托给。愿意将自已生命和计划交托给神的人,不会过无所事事的生活,而是会顺服神的指引,忠心完成神所交付的使命,并时刻寻求神的旨意和帮助,与神同工。当我们谦卑将自己的人生交托给神时,就不会坚持已见,而是会思想神喜悦什么,并期待神的计划和旨意在我们的生命中成就。这样的人会放弃骄傲,远离邪恶,就是与仇敌也能和睦相处。而最终,神也会用她的方式成就放在我们心里的谋画。
 

内室祷告

愿我谦卑寻求神的指引,在所交付的使命上尽职尽责。
