第五十九章
9因此，公平離我們遠，公義追不上我們。我們指望光亮，卻是黑
暗；指望光明，卻行幽暗。10我們摸索牆壁，好像瞎子；我們摸
索，如同無目之人。我們晌午絆腳，如在黃昏一樣；我們在肥壯人
中，像死人一般。11我們咆哮如熊，哀鳴如鴿。指望公平，卻是沒
有；指望救恩，卻遠離我們。12我們的過犯在你面前增多，罪惡作
見證告我們；過犯與我們同在。至於我們的罪孽，我們都知道：
13就是悖逆不認識耶和華，轉去不跟從我們的神，說欺壓和叛逆的
話，心懷謊言，隨即說出。14並且公平轉而退後，公義站在遠處；
誠實在街上仆倒，正直也不得進入。15誠實少見，離惡的人反成掠物。
默想：
1.安靜——閱讀/聆聽——默想——禱告——默觀/安歇主懷
2.在出聲閱讀本段經文時，將經文中的我們改成我。你認為，當
神聽到你這樣讀的時候，會作何想？
3.在閱讀默想今天的經文時，有哪個字或詞句特別觸動你的？當
你讀到這個字或詞句時，你有什麼感受？這與你的現況有什麼
關連 沒有？神想要你做什麼？
4.盡可能的列出你在上個星期內所犯過所有大、小的罪。以謙卑
悔改的心向神禱告，一項一項的向神承認自己不應當作的錯
事。求神幫助你不再專注於自己所犯的罪，並得從罪中釋放來
專注並轉向神。
5.在今日之中，隨時留意向神認罪，盡可能的具體認明是什麼
罪，並向神表明你的迫切，並承認你是無法離開神而生活的。
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 59
9 So justice is far from us, and righteousness does not reach us.
We look for light, but all is darkness; for brightness, but we walk in deep
shadows.10 Like the blind we grope along the wall, feeling our way like
people without eyes.At midday we stumble as if it were twilight; among
the strong, we are like the dead.11 We all growl like bears; we moan
mournfully like doves.We look for justice, but find none; for deliverance,
but it is far away.12 For our offenses are many in your sight, and our
sins testify against us.Our offenses are ever with us, and we acknowledge
our iniquities:13 rebellion and treachery against the LORD, turning our
backs on our God,inciting revolt and oppression, uttering lies our hearts
have conceived.14 So justice is driven back, and righteousness stands at a
distance;truth has stumbled in the streets, honesty cannot enter.
15 Truth is nowhere to be found, and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey.
Meditation
1. Silence – Read/Listen – Meditate – Pray – Contemplate
2. As you read the passage aloud, replace we with I, and our with my.
What might God be thinking as he hears you read this?
3. What is the word or phrase that touches you today as you read and
meditate on this passage? What is your emotion as you read this
word or phrase?
4. Now, make a list of sins – big and small – that you’ve committed in
the past week. In prayer, go through your list item by item, admit to
God that you should not have participated in such wrongdoing. Do
this with a humble and repentant heart. Ask God to help you not to
focus any longer on your sin, but to be free to focus and turn toward
him.
5. As you go through today, make a point to confess your sins to God.
As you do this, be as specific as you can about your sins, acknowledging
your desperation and futility in attempting to live apart from
him.
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.
