第十九章
7 耶和華的律法全備,能甦醒人心;耶和華的法度確定,能使愚人有智慧;
8 耶和華的訓詞正直,能快活人的心;耶和華的命令清潔,能明亮人的眼目;
9 耶和華的道理潔淨,存到永遠;耶和華的典章真實,全然公義。
10 都比金子可羨慕,且比極多的精金可羨慕;比蜜甘甜,且比蜂
房下滴的蜜甘甜。
11 況且你的僕人因此受警戒,守著這些便有大賞。
12 誰能知道自己的錯失呢?願你赦免我隱而未現的過錯。
13 求你攔阻僕人不犯任意妄為的罪,不容這罪轄制我,我便完
全,免犯大罪。
14 耶和華我的磐石,我的救贖主啊!願我口中的言語,心裡的意
念,在你面前蒙悅納。
默想:
1.神以祂的律法來指引及教導我們,這是神的恩賜,而非重擔。
神的律法滋養我們的生命,警告我們、並應許那些討神喜悅的
人有“大賞”。
2.大衛對神的律法(話語)的各種描述中,哪一項最貼近你對聖
經的體驗?你花多少時間來閱讀聖經,其實就是你對聖經的重
視有多少,你認為是否有需要有所改變?如何來增加你對聖經
的重視?
3.求神來幫助你增加對聖經的重視!
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 19
7 The law of the LORD is perfect, refreshing the soul.
The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple.
8 The precepts of the LORD are right, giving joy to the heart.
The commands of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes.
9 The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever.
The decrees of the LORD are firm, and all of them are righteous.
10 They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold;
they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the honeycomb.
11 By them your servant is warned; in keeping them there is great reward.
12 But who can discern their own errors? Forgive my hidden faults.
13 Keep your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me.
Then I will be blameless, innocent of great transgression.
14 May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart
be pleasing in your sight, LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.
Meditation
1. God’s guidance and teaching through the law are a gift, not a burden.
They nurture life, offer warning, and promise great reward for
those who please God.
2. Which of David’s descriptions of God’s law (God’s word) best
matches your experience with Scripture? How does your sense of
its value match the time you spend reading it? Why? How can you
improve it?
3. Ask God to help you to increase your sense of value of the Bible.
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.
