1:1 起初，神創造天地。 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
1:2 地是空虛混沌，淵面黑暗；神的靈運行在水面上。 Now the earth was 1:2 Or possibly ((became)) formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. 1:3 神說：要有光，就有了光。 And God said, <<Let there be light,>> and there was light. 1:4 神看光是好的，就把光暗分開了。 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 1:5 神稱光為晝，稱暗為夜。有晚上，有早晨，這是頭一日。 God called the light <<day,>> and the darkness he called <<night.>> And there was evening, and there was morning--the first day. 1:6 神說：諸水之間要有空氣，將水分為上下。 And God said, <<Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water.>> 1:7 神就造出空氣，將空氣以下的水、空氣以上的水分開了。事就這樣成了。 So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. And it was so. 1:8 神稱空氣為天。有晚上，有早晨，是第二日。 God called the expanse <<sky.>> And there was evening, and there was morning--the second day. 1:9 神說：天下的水要聚在一處，使旱地露出來。事就這樣成了。 And God said, <<Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.>> And it was so. 1:10 神稱旱地為地，稱水的聚處為海。神看著是好的。 God called the dry ground <<land,>> and the gathered waters he called <<seas.>> And God saw that it was good. 1:11 神說：地要發生青草和結種子的菜蔬，並結果子的樹木，各從其類，果子都包著核。事就這樣成了。 Then God said, <<Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.>> And it was so. 1:12 於是地發生了青草和結種子的菜蔬，各從其類；並結果子的樹木，各從其類；果子都包著核。神看著是好的。 The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. 1:13 有晚上，有早晨，是第三日。 And there was evening, and there was morning--the third day. 1:14 神說：天上要有光體，可以分晝夜，作記號，定節令、日子、年歲， And God said, <<Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years, 1:15 並要發光在天空，普照在地上。事就這樣成了。 and let them be lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth.>> And it was so. 1:16 於是神造了兩個大光，大的管晝，小的管夜，又造眾星， God made two great lights--the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. 1:17 就把這些光擺列在天空，普照在地上， God set them in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth, 1:18 管理晝夜，分別明暗。神看著是好的。 to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good. 1:19 有晚上，有早晨，是第四日。 And there was evening, and there was morning--the fourth day. 1:20 神說：水要多多滋生有生命的物；要有雀鳥飛在地面以上，天空之中。 And God said, <<Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky.>> 1:21 神就造出大魚和水中所滋生各樣有生命的動物，各從其類；又造出各樣飛鳥，各從其類。神看著是好的。 So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living and moving thing with which the water teems, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 1:22 神就賜福給這一切，說：滋生繁多，充滿海中的水；雀鳥也要多生在地上。 God blessed them and said, <<Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.>> 1:23 有晚上，有早晨，是第五日。 And there was evening, and there was morning--the fifth day. 1:24 神說：地要生出活物來，各從其類；牲畜、昆蟲、野獸，各從其類。事就這樣成了。 And God said, <<Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind.>> And it was so. 1:25 於是神造出野獸，各從其類；牲畜，各從其類；地上一切昆蟲，各從其類。神看著是好的。 God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. 1:26 神說：我們要照著我們的形像、按著我們的樣式造人，使他們管理海裏的魚、空中的鳥、地上的牲畜，和全地，地上所爬的一切昆蟲。 Then God said, <<Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, 1:26 Hebrew; Syriac ((all the wild animals)) and over all the creatures that move along the ground.>> 1:27 神就照著自己的形像造人，乃是照著他的形像造男造女。 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. 1:28 神就賜福給他們，又對他們說：要生養眾多，遍滿地面，治理這地，也要管理海裏的魚、空中的鳥，和地上各樣動的活物。 God blessed them and said to them, <<Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground.>> 1:29 神說：看那，我將遍地上一切結種子的菜蔬和一切樹上所結有核的果子全賜給你們作食物。 Then God said, <<I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. 1:30 至於地上的走獸和空中的飛鳥，並各樣爬在地上有生命的物，我將青草賜給他們作食物。事就這樣成了。 And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground--everything that has the breath of life in it--I give every green plant for food.>> And it was so. 1:31 神看著一切所造的都甚好。有晚上，有早晨，是第六日。 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning--the sixth day.

一月廿四日 「但……鴿子找不著落腳之地，就回到…挪亞那裡……到了晚上，鴿子回到他那裡，嘴裡叨著一個…橄欖葉子。」創世記八章9節、11節 神知道甚麼時候該不給我們看得見的憑據，甚麼時候該給我們看得見的憑據。我們若能完全信靠祂，這是何等美好的一件事呢！當所有眼見的憑據都收回了的時候，是最美好的時候；因為神的美旨是要我們承認：祂的話語、祂的應許、祂的恩約，比我們眼見的一切憑據更實在、更可靠。神若給我們眼見的憑據，也好；也是可寶貴的。那些只信神的話而不用其他憑據的人們，常得到許多看得見的憑據。 ─特榮布爾 相信祂； 即使風雨欲來， 烏雲蓋天， 即使穹蒼如銅號， 卻默然無聲， 祂聽清楚你禱告中的每一言語， 甚之連麻雀輕輕落到之聲祂都聽聞。 讚美祂， 如果憂愁悲痛已到眼前， 即使連我們以為最親愛的事物遭受損失！ 可是損失即是獲得， 讚美祂， 從神那裏什麼都全備。 祂緊握我們的手， 縱使路途遙遠又可怖， 戰兢恐懼前一步亦看不清， 祂正在引導我， 只要我緊緊依附祂！ 當人世一切珍貴如浮雲消散， 荒涼寂寞， 走頭無路， 你該滿足， 因為信靠了祂， 絕對不會使你有任何。 暫緩不是拒絕；許多禱告上批著：「我的時候還沒有到。」神有規定的旨意，也有規定的時間。 ─選

January 24 "But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him....And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf." (Gen. 8:9-11.) ＧOD knows just when to withhold from us any visible sign of encouragement, and when to grant us such a sign. How good it is that we may trust Him anyway! When all visible evidences that He is remenbering us are withheld, that is best; He wants us to realize that His Word, His promise of remembrance, is more substantial and dependable than any evidence of our senses. When he sends the visible evidence, that is well also; we appreciate it all the more after we have trusted Him without it. Those who are readiest to trust God without other evidence than His word always receive the greatest number of visible evidences of His love. ─C. G. Trumbull. "Believing Him; if storm-clouds gather darkly 'round, And even if the heaven seem brass, without a sound? He hears each prayer and even notes the sparrow's fall. "And praising Him; when sorrow, grief, and pain are near, And even when we lose the thing that seems most dear? Our loss is gain. Praise Him; in Him we have our All. "Our hand in His; e'en though the path seems long and drear We scarcely see a step ahead, and almost fear? He guides aright. He has it thus to keep us near. "And satified; when every path is blocked and bare, And worldly things are gone and dead which were so fair? Believe and rest and trust in Him, He comes to stay." Delays are not refusals; many a prayer is registered, and underneath it the words: "My time is not yet come." God has a set time as well as a set purpose, and He who orders the bounds of our habitation order also the time of our deliverance. ─Selected.

一月廿四日 基督的十字架 「我已經與基督同釘十字架。」加拉太書二章20節 基督的十字架是祂最大的榮耀。因為祂自己卑微，以至於死在十字架上，所以神將祂升為至高。十字架就是征服撒但和罪惡的權能。 基督徒與基督一同有分於這十字架。這位釘十字架的基督，藉著聖靈住在基督徒裡面，而十字架的靈也給基督徒啟示。基督徒今天活著，乃是一個已經與基督同死的人。當他認識基督釘十字架的權能時，他向著世界和罪惡就是死的，而向著神乃是活著的，並且這個權能也就成了他生命中的實際。因為那位活在我們裡面的基督，就是一位釘十字架者。 當我們的主對祂的門徒說：「背起你的十字架來跟從我」的時候，他們明白這句話嗎？他們曾看見過人背著十字架，知道那是甚麼意思，就是指著在十字架上痛苦的死亡。基督是在祂的一生中背著祂的十字架，這十字架就是祂要為世人受死的死刑判決辭。因此每一個基督徒也必須背著他的十字架，知道他自己是只配死的，並且相信他已經與基督同釘死了，現在乃是那位釘死者活在他裡面。「我們的舊人和祂同釘十字架；」（羅六6）「凡屬基督耶穌的人，是已經把肉體連肉體的邪情私慾，同釘在十字架上了。」（加五24）當我們接受了這個十字架的生命時，我們就能和保羅一同來說：「我斷不以別的誇口，只誇我們主耶穌基督的十字架。」（加六14） 這是一個很深的屬靈真理，請你一面默想、一面禱告，聖靈就必要教導你。但願基督在十字架上的性情、祂的謙卑、祂對所有屬世榮耀的捨棄，並祂捨己的靈，能得著你。祂死的權能要在你裡面作工，並且你要在祂的死裡變成祂的形狀，你也要認識祂和祂復活的大能。哦，親愛的啊！請你花時間讓基督藉著祂的靈，來啟示祂自己乃是釘十字架的那一位！

一月廿四日 忠於基督 「我特意向你顯現。」使徒行傳廿六章16節 保羅在大馬色路上所見的異象，不是曇花一現的衝動，對於他實是一種強烈的指導，因為他曾說「我沒有違背那從天上來的異象。」總而言之，我們的主向保羅所說的是「我要掌管你的整個生命；除了我以外，你不要有目標，不要有宗旨，也不要有意志。」「我知道我所揀選的。」 當我們重生之時，我們都有耶穌希望我們如何的異象，如果我們有一點兒屬靈；就不可違背那異象，更不可說，那是不能達到的。只知道神拯救了世界，知道聖靈能使耶穌在我裡面所作的發生效力，那是不夠的；必要與祂有個人關係的基礎。保羅並沒有接受甚麼宣傳教義的使命，而是被領到與耶穌基督發生活潑、對等、馴服的關係中。本章16節：「要派你作執事作見證，」雖是一種漫無限制的訓令，卻沒有脫離人格對等的關係。保羅所順從的是一個人格，並不是一種運動。他是絕對的屬了耶穌基督，不曾看見別的事；也不為別事活著。「因為我曾定了主意，在你們中間不知道別的，只知道耶穌基督，並祂釘十字架。」（林前二2）

一月廿四日 「你們白白地得來，也要白白地捨去。」馬太福音十章8節 當神為我們的靈魂或身體留下特別印記時，祂要我們與他人交通這些情況，並把這託付視為神聖的──「你們白白地得來，也要白白地捨去。」 在這末後、恩典的時代，神喜歡在世界各地的基督教會裡，顯現祂特別的祝福。但祂要祂的子民將這些奇蹟廣傳到世人當中。事實上，每一個與神有親密關係的我們，都是這些更高真理的託管人或見證人，我們應該盡己所能地影響每一個我們能影響的人。 神以聖者向我們顯現，因為祂要我們幫助世人知道祂能潔淨。祂之所以成為我們的大醫生，乃因有很多我們能幫助、祝福的病人和受痛苦的靈魂。 相同情況，如果主耶穌再來的盼望，對我們是極其珍貴，但我們卻隱藏這真理，並不為此作見證，只視此為個人的安慰，那麼我們真是比知恩不報更糟糕。
