聖經如何向我們說話
詩篇一一九篇89至105節
89耶和華啊，你的話安定在天，直到永遠。
90你的誠實存到萬代；你堅定了地，地就長存。
91天地照你的安排存到今日；萬物都是你的僕役。
92我若不是喜愛你的律法，早就在苦難中滅絕了。
93我永不忘記你的訓詞，因你用這訓詞將我救活了。
94我是屬你的，求你救我，因我尋求了你的訓詞。
95惡人等待我，要滅絕我，我卻要揣摩你的法度。
96我看萬事盡都有限，惟有你的命令極其寬廣。
97我何等愛慕你的律法，終日不住地思想。
98你的命令常存在我心裡，使我比仇敵有智慧。
99我比我的師傅更通達，因我思想你的法度；
100我比年老的更明白，因我守了你的訓詞。
101我禁止我腳走一切的邪路，為要遵守你的話。
102我沒有偏離你的典章，因為你教訓了我。
103你的言語在我上膛何等甘美，在我口中比蜜更甜！
104我藉著你的訓詞得以明白，所以我恨一切的假道。
105你的話是我腳前的燈，是我路上的光。
信息分享
神已確實藉著祂的話語直接向我們說話，尤其是在信心基礎方面。例如，我們如果對未來產生疑慮，祂便會向我們說：「只要信靠我。」當我們翻閱箴言三章5至6節，便知道神必為我們行最適合各人的事。又或是，我們若對自己能否得救感到懷疑，我們便看到約翰壹書五章13節等經文告訴我們，我們已因著相信基督而有永生。
倘若我們有一刻感到神不關心我們，祂便會用祂的話語對我們說：「我會以永遠的愛來愛你。」我們若為前途掛慮，祂的話語就告訴我們，我們比麻雀貴重得多，祂既然每日看顧麻雀，當然會看顧我們。
聖靈也會藉著神的話語來責備我們的罪，或指出我們有哪些行為令祂擔憂。然後，聖靈也會勸勉我們，只要我們認罪，神必赦免我們。在這種情況下，記住聖靈的聲音總是非常具體有針對性；而撒但只會不斷控訴，定我們的罪。
今天特別用一段時間感謝神賜下聖經。不管你需要甚麼，求祂藉著聖經，今天就向你說話。
HOW THE BIBLE CAN SPEAK TO US.
Psalm 119:89-105
89 Forever, O LORD,
Your word is settled in heaven.
90 Your faithfulness endures to all generations;
You established the earth, and it abides.
91 They continue this day according to Your ordinances,
For all are Your servants.
92 Unless Your law had been my delight,
I would then have perished in my affliction.
93 I will never forget Your precepts,
For by them You have given me life.
94 I am Yours, save me;
For I have sought Your precepts.
95 The wicked wait for me to destroy me,
But I will consider Your testimonies.
96 I have seen the consummation of all perfection,
But Your commandment is exceedingly broad.
97 Oh, how I love Your law!
It is my meditation all the day.
98 You, through Your commandments, make me wiser than my enemies;
For they are ever with me.
99 I have more understanding than all my teachers,
For Your testimonies are my meditation.
100 I understand more than the ancients,
Because I keep Your precepts.
101 I have restrained my feet from every evil way,
That I may keep Your word.
102 I have not departed from Your judgments,
For You Yourself have taught me.
103 How sweet are Your words to my taste,
Sweeter than honey to my mouth!
104 Through Your precepts I get understanding;
Therefore I hate every false way.
105 Your word is a lamp to my feet
And a light to my path.
Message
But God does speak plainly through His word, especially as a basis for our faith. For example if we have doubts about the future, He will say, “Trust me.” And we can turn to Proverbs 3:5-6 and believe He will work out what is best for us. Or if we have doubts about our salvation, we can turn to verses like 1 John 5:13 and read that we can know we have eternal life - now, because we have believed in Christ.
If we think for a moment that God doesn’t care about us, He will speak in His Word, “I have loved you with an everlasting love.” If we are anxious about the future, we can read we mean more to Him than sparrows, and He takes wonderful daily care of them.
The Word of God is also the instrument the Holy Spirit uses to speak to us about sin in our lives or about an action which has grieved Him. Then the message comes, if we confess our sins, God is waiting for forgiving our sins. Remember in this connection that the voice of the Spirit of God is always specific, while the voice of our enemy Satan is always the one of sweeping condemnation.
Take time today to thank God for the book He has given us. Let Him speak to you today through it, whatever your need may be.
