MANUFACTURING A LIFE 生命的建造 Psalm One 詩篇 第一篇 MALACHI2:2 If you will not listen, if you will not take it to heart to give honor to my name, says the Lord of hosts, then I will send the curse upon you and I will curse your blessings. Indeed, I have already cursed them, because you do not lay it to heart 瑪拉基書2:2 萬軍之耶和華說、 你們若不聽從、 也不放在心上、 將榮耀歸與我的名、 我就使咒詛臨到你們、 使你們的福分變為咒詛. 因你們不把誡命放在心上、 我已經咒詛你們了。 LUKE 12 14 But He said to him, “Man, who appointed Me a judge or arbitrator over you?” 15 Then He said to them, “Beware, and be on your guard against every form of greed; for not even when one has an abundance does his life consist of his possessions.” 22 And He said to His disciples, “For this reason I say to you, do not worry about your life, as to what you will eat; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. 23 For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. 路加福音12 12:14 耶穌說、你這個人、誰立我作 你們斷事的官、給你們分家業呢。 12:15 於是對眾人說、你們要謹慎自守、 免去一切的貪心.因為人的生命、 不在乎家道豐富。 12:22 耶穌又對門徒說、所以我告訴你們 、不要為生命憂慮喫甚麼.為身體 憂慮穿甚麼。 12:23 因為生命勝於飲食、身體勝於衣裳 。 PSALM One Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; 2 but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. 1 詩篇 第一篇 (一) 1:1 不從惡人的計謀、不站罪人的 道路、不坐褻慢人的座位、 1:2 惟喜愛耶和華的律法、晝夜思想、 這人便為有福。 TRANSFORMING A LIFE Rom.12:1 Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. 生命的更新 羅馬書 12:1 所以弟兄們、我以 神的慈悲勸你們 、將身體獻上、當作活祭、是聖潔的 、是 神所喜悅的.你們如此事奉、 乃是理所當然的。 12:2 不要效法這個世界.只要心意更新而 變化、叫你們察驗何為 神的善良、 純全可喜悅的旨意。 DANIEL Dan.8:15 When I, Daniel, had seen the vision, I sought to understand it. And behold, there stood before me one having the appearance of a man. 16 And I heard a man's voice between the banks of the Ulai, and it called, “Gabriel, make this man understand the vision.” :27 And I, Daniel, was overcome and lay sick for some days. Then I rose and went about the king's business, but I was appalled by the vision and did not understand it. 但以理書 (甲) 8:15 我但以理見了這異象、願意明白 其中的意思、忽有一位形狀像人的 、站在我面前。 8:16 我又聽見烏萊河兩岸中有人聲呼叫 說、加百列阿、要使此人明白這異 象。 8:27 於是我但以理昏迷不醒、病了數 日、然後起來辦理王的事務.我因 這異象驚奇、卻無人能明白其中的 意思。 DANIEL.b Dan.9:2 in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, perceived in the books the number of years that, according to the word of the Lord to Jeremiah the prophet, must pass before the end of the desolations of Jerusalem, namely, seventy years. 11 All Israel has transgressed your law and turned aside, refusing to obey your voice. And the curse and oath that are written in the Law of Moses the servant of God have been poured out upon us, because we have sinned against him. 12 He has confirmed his words, 但以理書 (乙) 就是他在位第一年、我但以理從書 上得知耶和華的話臨到先知耶利、 論耶路撒冷荒涼的年數、七十年為 滿。 9:11以色列眾人都犯了你的律法、偏行 、不聽從你的話、因此、在你僕人 摩西律法上所寫的咒詛、和誓言、 都傾在我們身上、因我們得罪了神。 9:12他使大災禍臨到我們、成就了警戒 我們和審判我們官長的話。 9:2 DANIEL.c 22 He made me understand, speaking with me and saying, “O Daniel, I have now come out to give you insight and understanding. 23 At the beginning of your pleas for mercy a word went out, and I have come to tell it to you, for you are greatly loved. Therefore consider the word and understand the vision. 10:14 and came to make you understand what is to happen to your people in the latter days. For the vision is for days yet to come.” 但以理書 (丙) 9:22 他指教我說、但以理阿、現在我出 來要使你有智慧、有聰明。 9:23 你初懇求的時候、就發出命令、我 來告訴你、因你大蒙眷愛.所以你 要思想明白這以下的事、和異象。 10:14 現在我來要使你明白本國之民日 後必遭遇的事、因為這異象關乎 後來許多的日子。 MATTHEW 13 11 And he answered them, “To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. 12 For to the one who has, more will be given, and he will have an abundance, but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. 馬太福音13 13:11 耶穌回答說、因為天國的奧秘 、只叫你們知道、不叫他們知 道。 13:12 凡有的、還要加給他、叫他有 餘.凡沒有的、連他所有的、 也要奪去。 PSALM One.2 He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. 4 The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away. 3 詩篇 第一篇 (二) 1:3 他要像一棵樹栽在溪水旁、 按時候結果子、葉子也不枯 乾.凡他所作的、盡都順利。 1:4 惡人並不是這樣、乃像糠秕 被風吹散。 PSALM One.3 5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous; 6 for the Lord knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish. 詩篇 第一篇 (三) 1:5 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。 1:6 因為耶和華知道義人的道路.惡 人的道路、卻必滅亡。 HOW CAN ONE MEDITATE? • Meditation is a New Discipline • Meditation Takes Unhurried Time • Meditation Requires Asking Questions – Have pen and paper ready to record • Meditation Requires Access to Bible • Memorized passages enables Meditation 怎樣默想? • 默想是一種新的操練 • 默想需要從容不迫 • 默想需要反復思索 – 配備紙筆,隨時記錄 • 默想需要查考聖經 • 熟記經文,有助默想
