1:1 烏斯地有一個人名叫約伯;那人完全正直,敬畏 神,遠離惡事。 In the land of Uz there lived a man whose name was Job. This man was blameless and upright; he feared God and shunned evil.
1:2 他生了七個兒子,三個女兒。 He had seven sons and three daughters, 1:3 他的家產有七千羊,三千駱駝,五百對牛,五百母驢,並有許多僕婢。這人在東方人中就為至大。 and he owned seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen and five hundred donkeys, and had a large number of servants. He was the greatest man among all the people of the East. 1:4 他的兒子按著日子各在自己家裏設擺筵宴,就打發人去,請了他們的三個姊妹來,與他們一同吃喝。 His sons used to take turns holding feasts in their homes, and they would invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them. 1:5 筵宴的日子過了,約伯打發人去叫他們自潔。他清早起來,按著他們眾人的數目獻燔祭;因為他說:「恐怕我兒子犯了罪,心中棄掉 神。」約伯常常這樣行。 When a period of feasting had run its course, Job would send and have them purified. Early in the morning he would sacrifice a burnt offering for each of them, thinking, <<Perhaps my children have sinned and cursed God in their hearts.>> This was Job's regular custom. 1:6 有一天, 神的眾子來侍立在耶和華面前,撒但也來在其中。 One day the angels 1:6 Hebrew ((the sons of God)) came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan 1:6 ((Satan)) means ((accuser.)) also came with them. 1:7 耶和華問撒但說:「你從哪裏來?」撒但回答說:「我從地上走來走去,往返而來。」 The LORD said to Satan, <<Where have you come from?>> Satan answered the LORD, <<From roaming through the earth and going back and forth in it.>> 1:8 耶和華問撒但說:「你曾用心察看我的僕人約伯沒有?地上再沒有人像他完全正直,敬畏 神,遠離惡事。」 Then the LORD said to Satan, <<Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil.>> 1:9 撒但回答耶和華說:「約伯敬畏 神,豈是無故呢? <<Does Job fear God for nothing?>> Satan replied. 1:10 他的妻子對他說:「你仍然持守你的純正嗎?你棄掉 神,死了吧!」 <<Have you not put a hedge around him and his household and everything he has? You have blessed the work of his hands, so that his flocks and herds are spread throughout the land. 1:11 你豈不是四面圈上籬笆圍護他和他的家,並他一切所有的嗎?他手所做的都蒙你賜福;他的家產也在地上增多。 But stretch out your hand and strike everything he has, and he will surely curse you to your face.>> 1:12 你且伸手毀他一切所有的;他必當面棄掉你。」 The LORD said to Satan, <<Very well, then, everything he has is in your hands, but on the man himself do not lay a finger.>> Then Satan went out from the presence of the LORD. 1:13 耶和華對撒但說:「凡他所有的都在你手中;只是不可伸手加害於他。」於是撒但從耶和華面前退去。 One day when Job's sons and daughters were feasting and drinking wine at the oldest brother's house, 1:14 有一天,約伯的兒女正在他們長兄的家裏吃飯喝酒, a messenger came to Job and said, <<The oxen were plowing and the donkeys were grazing nearby, 1:15 有報信的來見約伯,說:「牛正耕地,驢在旁邊吃草, and the Sabeans attacked and carried them off. They put the servants to the sword, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!>> 1:16 示巴人忽然闖來,把牲畜擄去,並用刀殺了僕人;惟有我一人逃脫,來報信給你。」 While he was still speaking, another messenger came and said, <<The fire of God fell from the sky and burned up the sheep and the servants, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!>> 1:17 他還說話的時候,又有人來說:「 神從天上降下火來,將群羊和僕人都燒滅了;惟有我一人逃脫,來報信給你。」 While he was still speaking, another messenger came and said, <<The Chaldeans formed three raiding parties and swept down on your camels and carried them off. They put the servants to the sword, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!>> 1:18 他還說話的時候,又有人來說:「迦勒底人分作三隊忽然闖來,把駱駝擄去,並用刀殺了僕人;惟有我一人逃脫,來報信給你。」 While he was still speaking, yet another messenger came and said, <<Your sons and daughters were feasting and drinking wine at the oldest brother's house, 1:19 他還說話的時候,又有人來說:「你的兒女正在他們長兄的家裏吃飯喝酒, when suddenly a mighty wind swept in from the desert and struck the four corners of the house. It collapsed on them and they are dead, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!>> 1:20 不料,有狂風從曠野颳來,擊打房屋的四角,房屋倒塌在少年人身上,他們就都死了;惟有我一人逃脫,來報信給你。」 At this, Job got up and tore his robe and shaved his head. Then he fell to the ground in worship 1:21 約伯便起來,撕裂外袍,剃了頭,伏在地上下拜, and said: <<Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked I will depart. 1:21 Or ((will return there)) The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; may the name of the LORD be praised.>> 1:22 說:「我赤身出於母胎,也必赤身歸回;賞賜的是耶和華,收取的也是耶和華。耶和華的名是應當稱頌的。」 In all this, Job did not sin by charging God with wrongdoing.

四月十五日 「我信靠你的話。」詩篇一一九篇42節 我們信神的話有多少,就是我們的信心有多少。信心與感覺、影像、可能性、眼見都無關。如果你們把它們與信心並列,我們就是不信神的話的話;因為信心用不著這種東西。信心單依靠神的話。當我們憑祂的話抓住祂的時候,我們的心就得到了安息。 神樂意鍛鍊我們的信心,為著我們個人的益處、教會的益處、世人的益處。但是這種鍛鍊,我們非但不歡迎.反常躲避。當試煉臨到我們的時候,我們應當這樣說:「我的天父把這試煉的杯放在我手中,為要叫我將來享受甘甜。」 試煉是信心的糧食,讓我們把我們自己交在我們天父的手中罷!因為祂樂意賜好處給祂的孩子。 不只試煉和困難能鍛鍊、加增我們的信心;讀經亦然。讀經使我們熟識神,與神成為至交,因為神在聖經中顯露、啟示祂的自己。 你能否說,神是可愛的神呢?如果你還不能,讓我們摯誠的心來勸你趕快求神給你造出讀經的嗜好來,好使你知道祂的溫柔、仁愛;好使你能說:神是多好!神的心何等歡喜善待祂的兒女! 我們越進入這種地步,我們越願意把我們自己交託在神手中,越滿意祂對於我們的一切處置。這樣,當試煉來到的時候,我們就會這樣說:我們的內心,對此境界愈接近,我們就越願把自己交託在神手中,越是滿意祂對於我們的一切處置,這樣,當試煉來到的時候,我們就會這樣說: 「我要等待,看神這一次將要給我甚麼好處。無論如何,祂必叫我得益。」如此,我們就能在世人面前作美好的見證,同時也能堅固別的信徒的信心。 ─慕勒

April 15 "I trust in thy word." (Psa. 119:42.) JUST in proportion in which we believe that God will do just what He has said, is our faith strong or weak. Faith has nothing to do with feelings, or with impressions, with improbabilities, or with outward appearances. If we desire to couple them with faith, then we are no longer resting on the Word of God because faith needs nothing of the kind. Faith rests on the naked Word of God. When we take Him at His Word, the heart is at peace. God delights to exercise faith, first for blessing in our own souls, then for blessing in the Church at large, and also for those without. But this exercise we shrink from instead of welcoming. When trials come, we should say: "My Heavenly Father puts this cup of trial into my hands, that I may have something sweet afterwards." Trials are the food of faith. Oh, let us leave ourselves in the hands of our Heavenly Father! It is the joy of His heart to do good to all His children. But trials and difficulties are not the only means by which faith is exercised and thereby increased. There is the reading of the Scriptures, that we may by them acquaint ourselves with God as He has revealed Himself in His Word. Are you able to say, from the acquaintance you have made with God, that he is a lovely Being? If not, let me affectionately entreat you to ask God to bring you to this, that you may admire His gentleness and kindness, that you may be able to say how good He is, and what a delight it is to the heart of God to do good to His children. Now the nearer we come to this in our inmost souls, the more ready we are to leave ourselves in His hands, satisfied with all His dealings with us. And when trial comes, we shall say: "I will wait and see what good God will do to me by it, assured He will do it." This we shall bear an honorable testimony before the world, and thus we shall strengthen the hands of others. ─George Mueller.

四月十五日 在基督裏 「到那日你們就知道我在父裏面,你們在我裏面,我也在你們裏面。」約翰福音十四章20節 我們的主曾說到祂的生命是在父裏面:「你們當信我,我在父裏面,父在我裏面。」祂與父並非相鄰的兩個人,祂們乃是在彼此裏面。雖然主耶穌降世為人,祂仍住在父裏面。祂所作的一切,都是父在祂裏面所作的。 這個神聖屬天的生命,就是基督在神裏面,或者是神在基督裏的那個神聖生命。它乃是一幅圖畫,也是一個保證,說出我們在地上、在基督裏的生命該有的情形。在基督裏就著神聖生命的本質來說,子是在父裏面;而且我們也必須知道,我們是在基督裏,並且要一直活在這樣的信心中。這樣我們就會認識,父怎樣在基督裏作工,基督也照樣要在我們裏面作工,只要我們相信我們是在祂裏面,並且把我們自己降服於祂的能力。 子怎樣等候父;父又藉著祂來作工,照樣門徒們也要在禱告中,把他們在地上所要作的事告訴主,祂就會成就。他們在祂裏面的生命,乃是祂在父裏面生命的反映。正如父在祂裏面作工,是因為祂活在父裏面,基督也照樣因為他們活在祂裏面,而在他們裏面作工。但是除非聖靈降臨,這件事無法實現。為此他們必須等候,直到他們得著了從上頭來的能力。為此他們也要藉著天天的交通和禱告住在祂裏面,使祂可以在他們裏面作祂所曾應許過的更大的工作。 教會是何等的不明白,她得著能力的祕訣乃與基督一樣,就是住在父和祂的愛裏。服事主的人何等不明白,他們有一個偉大的目標,就是天天並時時住在基督裏,這乃是他們配被主用來為祂得著靈魂(傳福音)的惟一途徑。若有人問說,講臺今日所失去的「秘訣」是甚麼?那就是:「到那日。」——就是當聖靈充滿你們的心時——「你們就知道我在父裏面,你們在我裏面。」 可稱頌的主啊,我們懇求您,教導我們毫無保留地把自己降服於聖靈,並能每天格外注意等候祂的教導,使我們也能知道這有福的秘訣,乃是您怎樣在父裏面,父又藉著您來作工,照樣我們是在您裏面,您也藉著我們來作工。 滿有恩典的主啊!我們謙卑地、熱切地懇求您,在所有尋求要為您作工的兒女身上,求您樂意傾倒下施恩和懇求的靈來,使我們若不得著聖靈的充滿,就無法安息。

四月十五日 集中的歧途 「只有邱壇還沒有從以色列中廢去,然而亞撒的心一生誠實。」歷代志下十五章17節 亞撒外表的服從,不見得完善;但大體上是過得去的。當心你所說的:「啊!那是不甚關緊要的。」那在你不關緊要的,也許與神極關緊要。對於神的子女沒有甚麼輕微的事。我們之中有些人,花多少時間,要神教我們一件事呢?祂長久忍耐。你說:「我知道我與神有正當的關係;」但是邱壇依然存在,還有幾部份你沒有完全服從。你斷言你的心與神有正當的關係,然而在你的生活中,尚有懷疑的成分麼?無論何時起了懷疑,就把那事趕快的放棄。沒有不緊要的事。 有甚麼關係你肉體與智性的事,是你完全忽略的呢?你雖大體過得去,但是你有白璧之玷;在集中的路線上,有了歧途。你在靈性集中上不需要休息,像你的心在跳動上,不需要休息一樣。你不能把道德放下,而保持道德,也不能把靈性上的事放下而保持靈性。神要你完全歸祂,意思是說,你得時時留心你適合祂不適合祂,也要有充分修養的時間。我們之中有些人盼望在兩分鐘內,爬上無數的階梯,那是誤入歧途了。

四月十五日 「使基督因你們的信,住在你們心裡,叫你們的愛心,有根有基。」以弗所書三章17節 在美國西部和德州各處有一種奇特的灌木,這種豆科灌木有時被稱為蚊子樹,它們看起來細長而苗條,有如柳枝。儘管表面上它們彷彿沒有任何工業價值,但是它們的根很特別,而且在地下像昂貴的木料不斷地延伸。因為這種根擁有能承擔任何情況的特質,人們曾經以其為寶貴的鋪路建材。據說聖安東尼整個城市的街道,過去是用這些灌木的根建成的。 這種豆科灌木使我聯想到一些不在外表上求表現的基督徒,因為他們的成長主要是往下紮根、在神的深處裡面建造。這些基督徒也正是神重用的棟樑,更是築成神的城市的材料。當世上一切的事都崩潰粉碎,甚至被埋沒遺忘之後,神的城市將永遠地站立。 更深、更深地, 讓活水湧流, 願聖靈、救恩的泉源, 使我認識您的豐富。
