1:1 當三十年四月初五日，以西結〔原文是我〕在迦巴魯河邊被擄的人中，天就開了，得見 神的異象。 In the 1:1 Or (((my))) thirtieth year, in the fourth month on the fifth day, while I was among the exiles by the Kebar River, the heavens were opened and I saw visions of God.
1:2 正是約雅斤王被擄去第五年四月初五日， On the fifth of the month--it was the fifth year of the exile of King Jehoiachin-- 1:3 在迦勒底人之地、迦巴魯河邊，耶和華的話特特臨到布西的兒子祭司以西結；耶和華的靈〔原文是手〕降在他身上。 the word of the LORD came to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, 1:3 Or ((Ezekiel son of Buzi the priest)) by the Kebar River in the land of the Babylonians. 1:3 Or ((Chaldeans)) There the hand of the LORD was upon him. 1:4 我觀看，見狂風從北方颳來，隨著有一朵包括閃爍火的大雲，周圍有光輝；從其中的火內發出好像光耀的精金； I looked, and I saw a windstorm coming out of the north--an immense cloud with flashing lightning and surrounded by brilliant light. The center of the fire looked like glowing metal, 1:5 又從其中顯出四個活物的形像來。他們的形狀是這樣：有人的形像， and in the fire was what looked like four living creatures. In appearance their form was that of a man, 1:6 各有四個臉面，四個翅膀。 but each of them had four faces and four wings. 1:7 他們的腿是直的，腳掌好像牛犢之蹄，都燦爛如光明的銅。 Their legs were straight; their feet were like those of a calf and gleamed like burnished bronze. 1:8 在四面的翅膀以下有人的手。這四個活物的臉和翅膀乃是這樣： Under their wings on their four sides they had the hands of a man. All four of them had faces and wings, 1:9 翅膀彼此相接，行走並不轉身，俱各直往前行。 and their wings touched one another. Each one went straight ahead; they did not turn as they moved. 1:10 至於臉的形像：前面各有人的臉，右面各有獅子的臉，左面各有牛的臉，後面各有鷹的臉。 Their faces looked like this: Each of the four had the face of a man, and on the right side each had the face of a lion, and on the left the face of an ox; each also had the face of an eagle. 1:11 各展開上邊的兩個翅膀相接，各以下邊的兩個翅膀遮體。 Such were their faces. Their wings were spread out upward; each had two wings, one touching the wing of another creature on either side, and two wings covering its body. 1:12 他們俱各直往前行。靈往哪裏去，他們就往那裏去，行走並不轉身。 Each one went straight ahead. Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, without turning as they went. 1:13 至於四活物的形像，就如燒著火炭的形狀，又如火把的形狀。火在四活物中間上去下來，這火有光輝，從火中發出閃電。 The appearance of the living creatures was like burning coals of fire or like torches. Fire moved back and forth among the creatures; it was bright, and lightning flashed out of it. 1:14 這活物往來奔走，好像電光一閃。 The creatures sped back and forth like flashes of lightning. 1:15 我正觀看活物的時候，見活物的臉旁各有一輪在地上。 As I looked at the living creatures, I saw a wheel on the ground beside each creature with its four faces. 1:16 輪的形狀和顏色〔原文是作法〕好像水蒼玉。四輪都是一個樣式，形狀和作法好像輪中套輪。 This was the appearance and structure of the wheels: They sparkled like chrysolite, and all four looked alike. Each appeared to be made like a wheel intersecting a wheel. 1:17 輪行走的時候，向四方都能直行，並不掉轉。 As they moved, they would go in any one of the four directions the creatures faced; the wheels did not turn about 1:17 Or ((aside)) as the creatures went. 1:18 至於輪輞，高而可畏；四個輪輞周圍滿有眼睛。 Their rims were high and awesome, and all four rims were full of eyes all around. 1:19 活物行走，輪也在旁邊行走；活物從地上升，輪也都上升。 When the living creatures moved, the wheels beside them moved; and when the living creatures rose from the ground, the wheels also rose. 1:20 靈往哪裏去，活物就往那裏去；活物上升，輪也在活物旁邊上升，因為活物的靈在輪中。 Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, and the wheels would rise along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. 1:21 那些行走，這些也行走；那些站住，這些也站住；那些從地上升，輪也在旁邊上升，因為活物的靈在輪中。 When the creatures moved, they also moved; when the creatures stood still, they also stood still; and when the creatures rose from the ground, the wheels rose along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. 1:22 活物的頭以上有穹蒼的形像，看著像可畏的水晶，鋪張在活物的頭以上。 Spread out above the heads of the living creatures was what looked like an expanse, sparkling like ice, and awesome. 1:23 穹蒼以下，活物的翅膀直張，彼此相對；每活物有兩個翅膀遮體。 Under the expanse their wings were stretched out one toward the other, and each had two wings covering its body. 1:24 活物行走的時候，我聽見翅膀的響聲，像大水的聲音，像全能者的聲音，也像軍隊鬨嚷的聲音。活物站住的時候，便將翅膀垂下。 When the creatures moved, I heard the sound of their wings, like the roar of rushing waters, like the voice of the Almighty, 1:24 Hebrew ((Shaddai)) like the tumult of an army. When they stood still, they lowered their wings. 1:25 在他們頭以上的穹蒼之上有聲音。他們站住的時候，便將翅膀垂下。 Then there came a voice from above the expanse over their heads as they stood with lowered wings. 1:26 在他們頭以上的穹蒼之上有寶座的形像，彷彿藍寶石；在寶座形像以上有彷彿人的形狀。 Above the expanse over their heads was what looked like a throne of sapphire, 1:26 Or ((lapis lazuli)) and high above on the throne was a figure like that of a man. 1:27 我見從他腰以上有彷彿光耀的精金，周圍都有火的形狀，又見從他腰以下有彷彿火的形狀，周圍也有光輝。 I saw that from what appeared to be his waist up he looked like glowing metal, as if full of fire, and that from there down he looked like fire; and brilliant light surrounded him. 1:28 下雨的日子，雲中虹的形狀怎樣，周圍光輝的形狀也是怎樣。這就是耶和華榮耀的形像。我一看見就俯伏在地，又聽見一位說話的聲音。 Like the appearance of a rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the radiance around him. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. When I saw it, I fell facedown, and I heard the voice of one speaking.

二月一日 「這事出於我。」列王紀上十二章24節 「得意暗藏在失意之中。」 ─福克斯牧師 我的孩子，今天我有一個信息傳給你；好叫你上面的黑雲消散，前面的嶇路變平。這個信息是很短的，只有五個字，但是我要你銘刻心中；又把它當作一個枕頭來安放你疲倦的頭，使你真能高枕無憂。這個信息是甚麼呢？就是「這事出於我」。 你有沒有想到過：凡與你有關的事，也與我有關？因為「摸你們的，就是摸我眼中的瞳人」（亞二8）；「我看你為寶、為尊。」（賽四三4）所以，我特別喜歡訓練你。 當試煉攻擊你，「仇敵好像急流的河水沖來」（賽五九19）的時候，我要你知道「這事出於我」，你的軟弱需要我的剛強，你的平安在乎讓我替你爭戰。 你是不是正在艱難的環境中，四圍的人都不瞭解你，都不遂你的心意，都看不起你？「這事出於我」。我是管理環境的神。你所處的境遇並非偶然的，都有我的美意在其中的。 你不是曾求我給你謙卑嗎？你看，我已經把你放在一個學習謙卑的學校裡了；你所接觸的人和環境是被我利用來成全我的旨意的。 你是不是正感覺經濟缺乏呢？「這事出於我」，因為我是經管你用度的，我要你向我支取，完全仰賴於我。我的供給是無限的（腓四19）。我要你證實我的應許，我不願意你「在這事上卻不信耶和華你們的神。」（申一32） 你是不是整夜憂愁呢？「這事出於我」。我是憂患之子，常經憂患，深知怎樣擔當憂患的。當你向世人尋求安慰時，我故意叫他們不給你同情，好叫你轉向我尋求永遠的安慰（帖後二章16、17節）。你是不是渴望為我作些偉大的工作，結果反倒臥病在床呢？「這事出於我」。在你忙碌的日子，我不能引起你的注意力來；我要你學習一些更深的功課。事奉不是體貼自己的熱心，乃是遵行我的旨意。我有許多頂心腹的僕人，都是關在最冷僻的地方，用禱告事奉我。 今天我把這個信息當作一瓶香膏送在你手裡。你可以自由敷用。我的孩子，不順的環境、扎心的譭謗、無故的逼迫等等，臨到你的時候，你就敷上這香膏。如果你能在一切事上看見「這事出於我」，所有的痛苦便會立時消失了。 ─司諾 救世主俯身吻我說： 「這事出於我， 引導者故意如此安排， 愛你的， 只要耐心信賴我， 天父知道你有此需要， 雖然有時你看不明瞭。 表面的損失， 不必悲傷， 我所賜的， 才對你最好。」 於是我睜開淚眼， 禱告於天： 「親愛的主， 恕我無知， 前面的路， 您既都曾走過， 還有什麼艱難可言！ 這事完全為了有益於我， 神的恩典足以應付每一試煉。 我將繼續歌唱： 神為我安排任何道路， 總是最好的揀選。」

February 1 "This thing is from me." (1 Kings 12:24.) "Life's disappointments are veiled love's appointments." －Rev. C. A. Fox. ＭY child, I have a message for you today; let me whisper it in your ear, that it may gild with glory any storm clouds which may arise, and smooth the rough places upon which you may have to tread. It is short, only five words, but let them sink into your inmost soul; use them as a pillow upon which to rest your weary head. This thing is from ME. Have you ever thought of it, that all that concerns you concerns Me too? For, "he that toucheth you, toucheth the apple of mine eye" (Zech. 2:8). You are very precious in My sight. (Isa. 43:4.) Therefore, it is My special delight to educate you. I would have you learn when temptations assail you, and the "enemy comes in like a flood," that this thing is from Me, that your weakness needs My might, and your safety lies in letting Me fight for you. Are you in difficult circumstances, surrounded by people who do not understand you, who never consult your taste, who put you in the background? This thing is from Me. I am the God of circumstances. Thou camest not to thy place by accident, it is the very place God meant for thee. Have you not asked to be made humble? See then, I have placed you in the very school where this lesson is taught; your surroundings and companions are only working out My will. Are you in money difficulties? is it hard to make both ends meet? This thing is from Me, for I am your purse-bearer and would have you draw from and depend upon Me. My supplies are limitless (Phil. 4:19). I would have you prove my promised. Let it not be said of you, "In this thing you did not believe the Lord your God" (Deut.1:32). Are you passing through a night of sorrow? This thing is from me. I am the Man of Sorrows and acquainted with grief. I have let earthly comforters fail you, that by turning to Me you may obtain everlasting consolation (2 Thess. 2:16,17). Have you longed to do some great work for Me and instead have been laid aside on a bed of pain and weakness? This thing is from Me. I could not get your attention in your busy days and I want to teach you some of my deepest lessons. "They also serve who only stand and wait." Some of My greatest workers are those shut out from active service, that they may learn to wield the weapon of all-prayer. This day I place in your hand this pot of holy oil. Make use of it free, my child. Let every circumstance that arises, every word that pains you, every interruption that would make you impatient, every revelation of your weakness be anointed with it. The sting will go as you learn to see Me in all things. ─Laura A. Barter Snow. "`This is from Me,'the Saviour said, As bending low He kissed my brow, `For One who loves you thus has led. Just rest in Me, be patient now, Your Father knows you have need of this, Tho', why perchance you cannot see.─ Grieve not for things you've seemed to miss. The thing I send is best for thee.' "Then, looking through my tears, I plead, 'Dear Lord, forgive, I did not know, `Twill not be hard since Thou dost tread, Each path before me here below. And for my good this thing must be, His grace sufficient for each test. So still I'll sing, "Whatever be God's way for me is always best."

二月一日 真實的敬拜 「敬拜神」啟示錄廿二章9節 讀過「代禱的訣要」的人常問說：為什麼禱告和代禱並不是一件大喜樂呢？難道我們沒有路可以與神相交以祂為樂，好像那些代禱者一樣為著所禱告的人帶下祂的能力和祝福麼？ 對於這個問題有好幾個回答，但那最重要的回答就是：我們認識神太少了。在我們禱告的時候，我們並沒有將我們的心放在祂面前等候祂，好像是一件重要的事似的。但這件事卻是不可少的。我們常常想到我們自己、我們的需要、我們的軟弱、我們的盼望和我們的禱告。我們忘記了在每一個禱告中，神必須是第一，也必須是一切。去尋求祂、尋見祂、停留在祂面前；深信祂是聖潔的、與我們同在的，祂也實在聽了我們的禱告，也作工在我們裡面─只有這樣纔能使我們的禱告極其自然、極其容易，好像小孩子同他的父親講話一樣。 怎樣纔能如此親近神、與神相交呢？回答是簡單的：我們必須給神時間，讓祂將自己啟示給我們。用你的全心相信這一個，當你將自己謙卑敬虔的獻給神的時候，祂就聽你的禱告。但是如果你不給祂時間，不安靜在祂面前，你就不能得著這個。不是人數的眾多和你禱告話語的熱切，會使禱告有力量。禱告的力量是在於有一個活的信心，相信神自己要將你和你的禱告帶到祂慈愛的寶座前。到了祂的時候，祂自己就要給你證實，你的禱告一定蒙垂聽。 本書的用意，是要幫助你，在每一個禱告裡去認識那一條遇見神的路。我們每天要給你一些話語，使你藉著這些話叫你的心能俯伏在神的面前等候祂，使這些話又真又活的成為你的經歷。 今天就用這些話來開始： 「哦，我的主！我將我的心舉起向著您。」安靜的俯伏在祂面前，相信祂正在看著你，還要啟示祂的同在。「我的心渴慕神，渴慕那活的神。」

二月一日 神的呼召 「基督差遣我，原不是為施洗，乃是為傳福音。」哥林多前書一章17節 保羅在這裡說，蒙神呼召，乃是傳福音；但是要記取保羅所說的「福音」，是指主耶穌基督裡救贖的真實。我們容易以傳福音的歸結作為成聖之工。保羅提到自己的經驗，不過是一種比方，其目的並不在他自己。我們沒有被差遣去傳救恩或成聖；我們被差遣去高舉耶穌基督（約十二32）。說耶穌基督藉著救贖使我成為聖人，那是捕風捉影之談。耶穌基督要藉著救贖拯救整個世界，把它恢復原狀。放在神寶座之前。我們個人所經驗的救贖，不過是一種救贖之真實的有力的說明，並不是救贖的終局。如果神是人，我們時常為我們的救恩和成聖請求祂，祂該是感覺怎樣難受和厭煩啊！我們從早到晚，為我們自己的事，耗費祂的精力──拯救我脫離某某事！當我們探到了神福音真實的基石，我們就不以私人些微的不順去麻煩神。 保羅生命中唯一的熱念是傳神的福音。他忍受痛心，忍受困苦，不得同情與諒解，只有一個理由，因為這些事不能動搖他對於神福音的專心。

二月一日 「我所賜的水，要在他裡頭成為泉源。」約翰福音四章14節 當我們的生命是以服事人為重心時，我們會發現神的活水就像泉源一樣，從我們裡面自然湧出，使我們能祝福，並幫助我們周圍的人。更美的是，真心的祝福總是像雪花一樣飄然落下、覆蓋全地。活水在我們心中時，起先不過是一口井，但是當我們向他人伸出友善的手時，這活水不僅成了江河，甚至成為一處許多條河流彙集的三角洲，成為更大、更美的祝福。 這種豐富、自然流露的愛，乃與聖靈的工作有關。而聖靈是在耶穌升天之後，不僅降臨在祂的門徒身上，並且時刻與我們同在，給予我們事奉的力量。 事奉能力的真正秘訣，乃在於：一、心中充滿耶穌，並以祂為滿足。二、受聖靈的洗，讓滿溢的喜樂猶然而生，讓所領受的愛傳及他人。 記住，每一個新的事工，都需要聖靈重新再次充滿我們，並且從主耶穌那裡得到更深的生命。而更深的生命也得靠不斷地付出才得以成長。 給予，乃是加倍的擁有， 你能將你的祝福變成雙份嗎？ 願你我把愛傳及他人。
