我的神
诗篇三十七篇1至11节
1（大卫的诗。）不要为作恶的心怀不平，也不要向那行不义的生出嫉妒。
2因为他们如草快被割下，又如青菜快要枯干。
3你当倚靠耶和华而行善，住在地上，以他的信实为粮；
4又要以耶和华为乐，他就将你心里所求的赐给你。
5当将你的事交托耶和华，并倚靠他，他就必成全。
6他要使你的公义如光发出，使你的公平明如正午。
7你当默然倚靠耶和华，耐性等候他；不要因那道路通达的和那恶谋成就的心怀不平。
8当止住怒气，离弃忿怒；不要心怀不平，以致作恶。
9因为作恶的必被剪除；惟有等候耶和华的必承受地土。
10还有片时，恶人要归于无有；你就是细察他的住处也要归于无有。
11但谦卑人必承受地土，以丰盛的平安为乐。
信息分享
诚然，的确有不少非信徒的生活平顺，而作为基督徒，却不表示可免受苦难或没有困难。当基督徒面对这个实况的时候，他当如何自处呢？
诗篇三十七篇为我们提供了答案，那就是：无论环境顺逆，都把自己交在神的手中，安然信靠祂的带领。请看第5节。你可以如何诠释这节经文呢？以下是一个可能的演绎：「把你自己和你生命中的一切，全然放在神的手中；神就会因着你对祂的信靠，成全祂为你所定的计划，甚至超乎你的所想所求。」请反复默想这节经文的意思，并将它记在心中，以此作为生活的座右铭。
第7节提醒我们要安静等候神。我们要对自己说：「不要为别人所得的好处而产生妒忌，不要为此而心存苦毒。只要等候主，主必在祂认为最好的时间，向我显明祂的心意和计划。」
神在我们每个人身上都有祂的计划。请看第23节：「义人的脚步被耶和华立定」。有些时候，神带领我们所走的道路，与我们认为是最好的道路好像背道而驰；然而，只有神才知道甚么对我们最好，我们迟早总会明白祂在我们身上有最美好的计划。最后，但愿以下一首诗歌能够成为我们的心声：
神的路最美善，神的路最正确；
我愿常倚靠祂，惟祂知道一切。
OUR PERSONAL GOD
Psalm 37: 1 – 11
1 Do not fret because of evildoers,
Nor be envious of the workers of iniquity.
2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass,
And wither as the green herb.
3 Trust in the LORD, and do good;
Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.
4 Delight yourself also in the LORD,
And He shall give you the desires of your heart.
5 Commit your way to the LORD,
Trust also in Him,
And He shall bring it to pass.
6 He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light,
And your justice as the noonday.
7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for Him;
Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way,
Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.
8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath;
Do not fret—it only causes harm.
9 For evildoers shall be cut off;
But those who wait on the LORD,
They shall inherit the earth.
10 For yet a little while and the wicked shall be no more;
Indeed, you will look carefully for his place,
But it shall be no more.
11 But the meek shall inherit the earth,
And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
Message
Those who are not Christians do seem to have a good time – sometimes. And being a Christian does not mean we are free from suffering or hardship. What is a Christian supposed to do?
The answer is here in this Psalm. In every situation put yourself in God’s hands and leave yourself there. Look at verse 5. Can you write it out in your own words? Here is one way to rewrite it. ‘Throw yourself and your whole life unreservedly upon God. He will bring about all your faith expects him to do and even more as well.’ Try writing it out but at the same time write it in your heart and do exactly what the verse says to do.
Verse 7 speaks about resting and waiting for him. We could say, ‘Don’t be jealous of anything that happens to someone else. Don’t become bitter over it. Just wait for the Lord to show his plan and purpose in his own good time.’
God has an overall plan for us. Look at verse 23. ‘The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord.’ Sometimes it may look as if the way the Lord allows us to go is the very opposite of what we think is best for us. But he knows best and later we will see his perfect plan for us.
Here is a song of faith to sing today.
‘All the way my Saviour leads me
What have I to ask beside?
Shall I doubt his tender mercy
Who through life has been my guide?’
