詩篇第一卷
第一篇
1 不從惡人的計謀，不站罪人的道路，不坐褻慢人的座位。
2 惟喜愛耶和華的律法，晝夜思想，這人便為有福！
3 他要像一棵樹栽在溪水旁，按時候結果子，葉子也不枯乾。
凡他所做的盡都順利。
4 惡人並不是這樣，乃像糠秕被風吹散。
5 因此當審判的時候，惡人必站立不住；罪人在義人的會中也是如此。
6 因為耶和華知道義人的道路，惡人的道路卻必滅亡。

默想：
1.這篇詩篇向我們挑戰，要在義人的路和惡人的路之間做選擇。
根據本篇詩，這兩者之間，有什麼分別？

 

2.一個喜愛神的話語（耶和華的律法）的人，怎樣會像一棵栽在
溪水旁的樹？要使我的生命像按時結果子的樹，那會是怎樣的生命？

 

3.今天，花些找時間走到戶外，找一棵健壯的樹。花幾分鐘來看
這棵樹，它的樹幹、它的葉子、它的根。然後向神禱告，求主
引領，使我能夠經常開花，並結果實。求主讓我的根向下延
展，直到深植在神話語的豐富土壤中。

 

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。

 

Psalms 1

1 Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked
or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers,
2 but whose delight is in the law of the LORD,
and who meditates on his law day and night.
3 That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers.
4 Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away.
5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
6 For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.

 

Meditation:
1.This psalm challenges us to make a choice between the way of the
righteous and the way of the wicked. What are the differences between
these two in this psalm?

 

2.How is the person who delights in God’s word like the tree planted
by streams of water? What would my life look like if it were “bearing
fruit” in season?

 

3.Today, go outside and find a healthy-looking tree. Spend a few
moments look at the tree, its trunk, the leaves, the roots. Ask God
to guide me in a way that I will always be in blossom and bearing
fruits. Pray that my roots will go down deep and be rooted in the
healthy soil of God’s word.

 

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.
