May 30【每日活水】拥有智慧的,便为有福

 

箴言8:22~36

22  在耶/和/华造化的起头,
在太初创造万物之先,就有了我。
23  从亘古,从太初,
未有世界以前,我已被立。
24  没有深渊,
没有大水的泉源,我已生出。
25  大山未曾奠定,
小山未有之先,我已生出。
26  耶/和/华还没有创造大地和田野,
并世上的土质,我已生出。
27  他立高天,我在那里;
他在渊面的周围,划出圆圈。
28  上使穹苍坚硬,
下使渊源稳固,
29  为沧海定出界限,使水不越过他的命令,
立定大地的根基。
30  那时,我在他那里为工师,
日日为他所喜爱,
常常在他面前踊跃,
31  踊跃在他为人预备可住之地,
也喜悦住在世人之间。
32  众子啊,现在要听从我,
因为谨守我道的,便为有福。
33  要听教训就得智慧,
不可弃绝。
34  听从我、日日在我门口仰望、
在我门框旁边等候的,那人便为有福。
35  因为寻得我的,就寻得生命,
也必蒙耶/和/华的恩惠。
36  得罪我的,却害了自己的性命;
恨恶我的,都喜爱死亡。
22  “The Lord brought me forth as the first of his works,
before his deeds of old;
23  I was formed long ages ago,
at the very beginning, when the world came to be.
24  When there were no watery depths, I was given birth,
when there were no springs overflowing with water;
25  before the mountains were settled in place,
before the hills, I was given birth,
26  before he made the world or its fields
or any of the dust of the earth.
27  I was there when he set the heavens in place,
when he marked out the horizon on the face of the deep,
28  when he established the clouds above
and fixed securely the fountains of the deep,
29  when he gave the sea its boundary
so the waters would not overstep his command,
and when he marked out the foundations of the earth.
30  Then I was constantly at his side.
I was filled with delight day after day,
rejoicing always in his presence,
31  rejoicing in his whole world
and delighting in mankind.
32  “Now then, my children, listen to me;
blessed are those who keep my ways.
33  Listen to my instruction and be wise;
do not disregard it.
34  Blessed are those who listen to me,
watching daily at my doors,
waiting at my doorway.
35  For those who find me find life
and receive favor from the Lord.
36  But those who fail to find me harm themselves;
all who hate me love death.”

个人感受

4. Bible 说,真正的福分是从敬畏 SHEN 的心开始的,对此我有什么感想?
 

决心与应用

5.我何时曾以敬畏之心渴想 SHEN 的话,最终得到 SHEN 的赐福?

6.为了将我的生活建立在 SHEN 智慧和有福的话语之上,我决定要怎么做?

天天在我门口守望(34节):指以等候爱人的心情,长久又迫切地渴求智慧。如何肉/体天天都需要食物,灵命也需要每天摄入属/灵的粮食,好得着智慧。

灵/修指南

所罗门将智慧拟人化,强调智慧从太初便与创造主同在。他说智慧在 SHEN 的旁边为工程师,天天充满喜乐欢笑。在 SHEN 创造万物之前,智慧就已存在,并且始终与 SHEN 同在,成为喜乐的泉源(22—31节)。也就是说,所有的福分都是从遵守智慧之道—— SHEN 的话语——而来,而非靠人自己的力量所能获得。因此,一切事工的基础都应该从实践智慧开始,没有智慧,就没有真正的福(32—36节)。每天实践智慧之道、又竭力寻求智慧的人,必经历从 SHEN 而来的福。真正的福不在地上,而是在 SHEN 的手中。当我们将我们的生活建立在智慧之道—— SHEN 的话,和我们对 SHEN 的敬畏之上,我们就会得着奇妙的恩典和福分。
 

内室dao告

求 SHEN 帮助我顺从 SHEN 的智慧之道,并为了学习 SHEN 的话而每天努力。
