第二十三章
1 耶和華是我的牧者,我必不至缺乏。
2 他使我躺臥在青草地上,領我在可安歇的水邊。
3 他使我的靈魂甦醒,為自己的名引導我走義路。
4 我雖然行過死蔭的幽谷,也不怕遭害,因為你與我同在;你的
杖,你的竿,都安慰我。
5 在我敵人面前,你為我擺設筵席。你用油膏了我的頭,使我的福杯滿溢。
6 我一生一世必有恩惠慈愛隨著我,我且要住在耶和華的殿中,直到永遠!
默想:
1.出聲讀出這首非常有名且很熟悉的詩篇。
2.現在以反面的意思再讀一次:(耶和華“不”是我的牧者,
我“必至缺乏……”)。這樣讀的時候,那一節最令你不安?為什麼?
3.在以正確的方式重讀一遍。這次有什麼新的體會?將這個體會
與神來對話,慢慢咀嚼,聆聽神。
禱告與筆錄:
繼續安靜在神面前,與神對話,並聆聽祂對我說的話。將心中的思
想(心得),或是與神的禱告,記錄在「靈程筆記簿」上面。
Chapter 23
1 The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet
waters, 3 he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil,
for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
Meditation
1. Read aloud this familiar psalm of the Bible.
2. Now read it again in the negative (“The Lord is not my shepherd…”).
What verse is most disturbing to you? Why?
3. Now read this psalm the right way again. Any new insight? Talk
with God about your insights.
Prayer & Journaling:
Stay with God for a little longer. Continue to converse with God and listen
to what he wants to tell me. Then write down any thought and/or prayer
in the 2012 “Spiritual Journal” book.
