第二十九章
13主說：“因為這百姓親近我，用嘴唇尊敬我，心卻遠離我；他們
敬畏我，不過是領受人的吩咐。14所以，我在這百姓中要行奇妙的
事，就是奇妙又奇妙的事。他們智慧人的智慧必然消滅；聰明人的
聰明必然隱藏。”15禍哉！那些向耶和華深藏謀略的，又在暗中行
事說：“誰看見我們呢？誰知道我們呢？”16你們把事顛倒了，
豈可看窯匠如泥嗎？被製作的物豈可論製作物的說“他沒有製作
我”？或是被創造的物論造物的說“他沒有聰明”？

默想：
1.13節的話語是帶有能力的！我們每個人都曾經坐在教會中，但
是心卻遠離神，或是以我們的唇舌來說出一些熟悉的禱詞，但
卻不是由心而發出的禱告。熟悉的文辭或是儀式是很重要的，
但是卻會帶來煩悶、甚或帶來藐視。

2.尊敬，或作敬拜，意思是對神表示恭敬，或是表示極大的愛與
忠誠。你的敬拜是否已經停滯不前了？怎樣可以更新你的敬
拜，使得有意義且真實？你可以在每次敬拜時，都求神賜你一
個嶄新的方式來經歷，並認識神。

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 29
13 The Lord says: “These people come near to me with their mouth and honor
me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is
based on merely human rules they have been taught.14 Therefore once more I
will astound these people with wonder upon wonder; the wisdom of the wise
will perish, the intelligence of the intelligent will vanish. ”15 Woe to those
who go to great depths to hide their plans from the LORD, who do their
work in darkness and think, “Who sees us? Who will know?” 16 You turn
things upside down, as if the potter were thought to be like the clay!
Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it, “You did not make
me”? Can the pot say to the potter, “You know nothing”?

Meditation
1.The words in verse 13 are power. Each of us has sat in church with
our mind far from God or prayed a familiar prayer with our lips
and not our heart. Familiarity is important, but it can also lead to
boredom or, worse, contempt.

2.Worship means to pay honour to God or to show great love and
devotion. Has your worship routine grown stagnant? How can
you refresh it and make it meaningful and truthful? You may begin
by praying that each time you worship, you would experience and
know God in a new way.

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.
