May 30【每日活水】耶和华指引我们的脚步

 

箴言16:1~17

1  心中的谋算在乎人;
舌头的应对由于耶和华。
2  人一切所行的,在自己眼中看为清洁;
惟有耶和华衡量人心。
3  你所做的,要交托耶和华,
你所谋的,就必成立。
4  耶和华所造的,各适其用;
就是恶人也为祸患的日子所造。
5  凡心里骄傲的,为耶和华所憎恶;
虽然连手,他必不免受罚。
6  因怜悯诚实,罪孽得赎;
敬畏耶和华的,远离恶事。
7  人所行的,若蒙耶和华喜悦,
耶和华也使他的仇敌与他和好。
8  多有财利,行事不义,
不如少有财利,行事公义。
9  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。
1  To humans belong the plans of the heart,
but from the Lord comes the proper answer of the tongue.
2  All a person’s ways seem pure to them,
but motives are weighed by the Lord.
3  Commit to the Lord whatever you do,
and he will establish your plans.
4  The Lord works out everything to its proper end—
even the wicked for a day of disaster.
5  The Lord detests all the proud of heart.
Be sure of this: They will not go unpunished.
6  Through love and faithfulness sin is atoned for;
through the fear of the Lord evil is avoided.
7  When the Lord takes pleasure in anyone’s way,
he causes their enemies to make peace with them.
8  Better a little with righteousness
than much gain with injustice.
9  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。
