1:1 耶和華藉瑪拉基傳給以色列的默示。 An oracle: The word of the LORD to Israel through Malachi. 1:1 ((Malachi)) means ((my messenger.))\F
1:2 耶和華說：「我曾愛你們。」你們卻說：「你在何事上愛我們呢？」耶和華說：「以掃不是雅各的哥哥嗎？我卻愛雅各， <<I have loved you,>> says the LORD. <<But you ask, <How have you loved us?> <<Was not Esau Jacob's brother?>> the LORD says. <<Yet I have loved Jacob, 1:3 惡以掃，使他的山嶺荒涼，把他的地業交給曠野的野狗。」 but Esau I have hated, and I have turned his mountains into a wasteland and left his inheritance to the desert jackals.>> 1:4 以東人說：「我們現在雖被毀壞，卻要重建荒廢之處。」萬軍之耶和華如此說：「任他們建造，我必拆毀；人必稱他們的地為『罪惡之境』；稱他們的民為『耶和華永遠惱怒之民』。」 Edom may say, <<Though we have been crushed, we will rebuild the ruins.>> But this is what the LORD Almighty says: <<They may build, but I will demolish. They will be called the Wicked Land, a people always under the wrath of the LORD. 1:5 你們必親眼看見，也必說：「願耶和華在以色列境界之外被尊為大！」 You will see it with your own eyes and say, <Great is the LORD--even beyond the borders of Israel!> 1:6 「藐視我名的祭司啊，萬軍之耶和華對你們說：兒子尊敬父親，僕人敬畏主人；我既為父親，尊敬我的在哪裏呢？我既為主人，敬畏我的在哪裏呢？你們卻說：『我們在何事上藐視你的名呢？』 <<A son honors his father, and a servant his master. If I am a father, where is the honor due me? If I am a master, where is the respect due me?>> says the LORD Almighty. <<It is you, O priests, who show contempt for my name. <<But you ask, <How have we shown contempt for your name?> 1:7 你們將污穢的食物獻在我的壇上，且說：『我們在何事上污穢你呢？』因你們說，耶和華的桌子是可藐視的。 <<You place defiled food on my altar. <<But you ask, <How have we defiled you?> <<By saying that the LORD's table is contemptible. 1:8 你們將瞎眼的獻為祭物，這不為惡嗎？將瘸腿的、有病的獻上，這不為惡嗎？你獻給你的省長，他豈喜悅你，豈能看你的情面嗎？這是萬軍之耶和華說的。 When you bring blind animals for sacrifice, is that not wrong? When you sacrifice crippled or diseased animals, is that not wrong? Try offering them to your governor! Would he be pleased with you? Would he accept you?>> says the LORD Almighty. 1:9 「現在我勸你們懇求 神，他好施恩與我們。這妄獻的事，既由你們經手，他豈能看你們的情面嗎？這是萬軍之耶和華說的。 <<Now implore God to be gracious to us. With such offerings from your hands, will he accept you?>>--says the LORD Almighty. 1:10 甚願你們中間有一人關上殿門，免得你們徒然在我壇上燒火。萬軍之耶和華說：我不喜悅你們，也不從你們手中收納供物。 <<Oh, that one of you would shut the temple doors, so that you would not light useless fires on my altar! I am not pleased with you,>> says the LORD Almighty, <<and I will accept no offering from your hands. 1:11 萬軍之耶和華說：從日出之地到日落之處，我的名在外邦中必尊為大。在各處，人必奉我的名燒香，獻潔淨的供物，因為我的名在外邦中必尊為大。 My name will be great among the nations, from the rising to the setting of the sun. In every place incense and pure offerings will be brought to my name, because my name will be great among the nations,>> says the LORD Almighty. 1:12 你們卻褻瀆我的名，說：『耶和華的桌子是污穢的，其上的食物是可藐視的。』 <<But you profane it by saying of the Lord's table, <It is defiled,> and of its food, <It is contemptible.> 1:13 你們又說：『這些事何等煩瑣！』並嗤之以鼻。這是萬軍之耶和華說的。你們把搶奪的、瘸腿的、有病的拿來獻上為祭。我豈能從你們手中收納呢？這是耶和華說的。 And you say, <What a burden!> and you sniff at it contemptuously,>> says the LORD Almighty. <<When you bring injured, crippled or diseased animals and offer them as sacrifices, should I accept them from your hands?>> says the LORD. 1:14 行詭詐的在群中有公羊，他許願卻用有殘疾的獻給主，這人是可咒詛的。因為我是大君王，我的名在外邦中是可畏的。這是萬軍之耶和華說的。 <<Cursed is the cheat who has an acceptable male in his flock and vows to give it, but then sacrifices a blemished animal to the Lord. For I am a great king,>> says the LORD Almighty, <<and my name is to be feared among the nations.

三月十日 「義人必因信而活。」希伯來書十章38節（直譯） 眼見和感覺常會代替信心。高興的情感和滿足的經歷僅是基督人生活中的一部份，並不是全部份。前途中埋伏著的試煉、逼迫、戰爭，絕非不幸，乃是我們必受的訓練。 在這一切患難的經歷中，我們須認定主活在我們裏面，不管我們的感覺怎樣。許多人因為感覺而跌倒；他們依靠感覺，不依靠信心。 有一個姊妹告訴我們；她有一次覺得神離開了她。祂的恩典、憐憫，似乎完全跑開了。她在這種情形之下有六星期之久，有一天神對她說： 「凱塞林，你一直在外面的感覺上尋找我，所以找不著；這六星期中我卻在裏面等著你；你應當到你靈中內室裏來找我，因為我在那裏。」 我們應該分辨情感和事實，這是何等快樂的一回事：當魂感覺孤單淒涼的時候，我們的信心仍能說：「我看不見您，我感覺不到您，但是您始終在這裏，所以我一直是這樣的我。哦，主，您一直在這裏；荊棘雖然沒有燒燬，但是的確被火燒著。我要把我腳上的鞋脫下來，因為我所站的是聖地。」 ─基督徒報 我們應該信神的話語和能力過於信我們自己的感覺和經歷。我們的磐石是基督，漲落的不是磐石，乃是我們魂中的海潮。 ─羅斯福特 我們的眼睛應該凝視基督所已經完成的工作。我們應當仰望耶穌，張起我們的帆來，勇勇敢敢地與浪相搏。不要留戀在不信的港口裡，不要躺臥在黑暗的死寂裏，不要任你的感覺上下顛簸，像碇泊在港口的船隻一般。屬靈的生活不是蹲伏在情感上的，也不是留戀在淺水裏的。撐開去！撐到狂風大浪中去。信靠主！祂是管理海洋的主。飛鳥越飛得高，越是安全。如果牠飛得低─靠近地面─牠也許會陷入捕鳥者所設的網羅裏去。照樣，如果我們一直匍匐在低地上─倚靠感覺、情感─我們就要看見我們自己將要被千萬種網羅——懷疑、失望、誘惑、不信……—─所纏累。這就是「好像飛鳥，網羅設在眼前仍不躲避。」（箴一17） ─馬克特夫

March 10 "The just shall live by faith." (Heb. 10:38.) ＳEEMINGS and feelings are often substituted for faith. Pleasurable emotions and deep satisfying experiences are part of the Christian life, but they are not all of it. Trials, conflicts, battles and testings lie along the way, and are not to be counted as misfortunes, but rather as part of our necessary discipline. In all these varying experiences we are to reckon on Christ as dwelling in the heart, regardless of our feelings if we are walking obediently before Him. Here is where many get into trouble; they try to walk by feeling rather than faith. In all these varying experiences we are to reckon on Christ as dwelling in the heart, regardless of our feelings if we are walking obediently before Him. Here is where many get into trouble; they try to walk by feeling rather than faith. One of the saints tells us that it seemed as tough God had withdrawn Himself from her. His mercy seemed clean gone. For six weeks her desolation lasted, and then the Heavenly Lover seemed to say: "Catherine, thou hast looked for Me without in the world of sense, but all the while I have been within waiting for thee; meet Me in the inner chamber of thy spirit, for I am there." Distinguish between the fact of God's presence, and the emotion of the fact. It is a happy thing when the soul seems desolate and deserted, if our faith can say,"I see thee not. I feel thee not, but Thou art certainly and graciously here, where I am as I am." Say it again and again: "Thou art here: though the bush does not seem to brun with fire., it does burn. I will take the shoes from off my feet, for the place on which I stand is holy ground." ─London Christian. Believe God's word and power more than you believe your own feelings and experiences. Your Rock is Christ, and it is not the Rock which ebbs and flows, but your sea. ─Samuel Rutherford. Keep your eye steadily fixed on the infinite grandeur of Christ's finished work and righteousness. Look to Jesus and believe, look to Jesus and live! Nay, more; as you look to him, hoist your sails and buffet manfully the sea of life. Do not remain in the haven of distrust, or sleeping on your shadows in inactive repose, or suffering your frames and feelings to pitch and toss on one another like vessels idly moored in a harbor. The religious life is not a brooding over emotions, grazing the keel of faith in the shallows, or dragging the anchor of hope through the oozy tide mud as if afraid of encountering the healthy breeze. Away! With your canvas spread to the gale, trusting in Him, who rules the raging of the waters. The safety of the tinted bird is to be on the wing. If its haunt be near the ground─if it fly low─it exposes itself to the fowler's net or snare. If we remain grovelling on the low ground of feeling and emotion, we shall find ourselves entangled in a thousand meshes of doubt and despondency, temptation and unbelief. "But Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight sight of THAT WHICH HATH A WING" (marginal reading Prov. 1:17). Hope thou in Gods ─J. R. Macduff.

三月十日 禱告是聖靈的工作 「神差祂兒子的靈進入你們的心，呼叫：『阿爸父！』」加拉太書四章6節 我們知道「阿爸父」在客西馬尼由主耶穌口中喊出的意義何在。這表示祂的完全順服以至於死，也說出神的愛要使罪人得贖的旨意得以成就。在主的禱告中，祂已準備好作任何的犧牲，甚至將生命獻上。在那次禱告中，我們看見祂的心；祂的地位是在神寶座的右邊，祂在神面前代禱有何等奇妙的大能，並將聖靈傾倒的權能。 唯有將祂兒子的靈吸入我們心裡，就是父所賜的聖靈。我們的主盼望我們能像祂一樣將自己完全交給神；像祂一樣的禱告，願意出任何代價，使神的旨意能通行在地上。神的愛如何在祂拯救靈魂的願望中顯明出來，照樣主耶穌也藉著為罪人捨己而顯明瞭祂的願望。今天祂同樣地求神將此愛也充滿祂的子民，使他們能全然將自己奉獻於代禱的事工，並肯出任何代價，藉著代禱使神的愛臨到將要滅亡的人身上。 唯恐有人以為代禱的職事太高而力不能及，所以主耶穌的聖靈已經進入我們的心，我們可能在祂的權能中奉祂的名像祂一樣禱告。此乃是一個肯將自己完全降服於聖靈引領的人，才會受這神聖的愛催促而專一過著一直代禱的生活，因為他知道那是神自己工作在他裡面。 現在我們可以明白基督如何能將無限的應許給了祂的門徒，使他們的禱告得著答應。他們首先必須先被聖靈充滿。如今我們才明白神所以如此重視代禱，乃是要藉此使祂的救贖計劃得以實現，唯有聖靈能將神自己的願望吹到我們裡面，使我們能為人代禱。 禱告： 阿爸父啊！答應我們藉著聖靈，將那為著愛靈魂而不停代禱的靈，放在我們裡面。基督已經為他們死了。求您讓您的兒女看見您向那些肯答應您崇高的呼召而獻上自己的人所賜的福及能力是何等大。阿們。

三月十日 有道可傳，就當與道打成一片 「務要傳道。」提摩太后書四章2節 我們得救，不但是成為溝通的工具，卻要成為神的兒女。我們不僅變為靈性的媒介，卻要變為靈性的使者；使道成為我們自己的部份。神的兒子是祂自己的道。祂的言語是靈和生命。我們既為祂的門徒，我們的生命必是我們使命的犧牲物。自然的心也會做些服務的事，但是在生命變成道的犧牲物以前，非因認罪而痛心，非因聖靈而受洗，非體會神的旨意是不會成功的。 作見證和傳道之間，是有種區分的。一個傳道人，是確覺神的呼召，決意運用他的各種能力來宣傳神之真理的。神將我們從自己的觀念中救出來，把我們鑄成形體，以適其用；如五旬節以後的門徒一樣。五旬節並沒有教訓門徒甚麼事，只是使他們躬身實踐所宣傳的道而已，「你們就是這些事的見證。」（路廿四48） 於你說話之間，給神絕對的自由吧！在神的道解放別人以前，你自己必要得著真的解放。收集你的材料，在你說話之時，把它燃燒吧！

三月十日 「神所賜出人意外的平安，必在基督耶穌裡，保守你們的心懷意念。」腓立比書四章7節 保守我們心懷意念的乃是神所賜的平安，這種能幫助我們瞭解一切情況的平安，正是神在我們生命中的氣息。只有祂能保守我們，也只有祂能使我們不受任何傷害。這是不是你的經驗？ 神在歇工之後才休息，我們也該如此。當我們剛開始與基督同行時，難免會在肉體中事奉、嘗試、掙扎，想要自己救自己。但是惟有在我們停止肉體中的事奉的同時，神才能以平安祝福我們，並且按著祂的旨意成就祂給我們的目標。 朋友，你可曾聽過 希望、聖潔、喜悅，這樣稱頌的字眼？ 愛的樂章從天而降， 一直環繞在我耳中。 聖潔的保惠師已經來到， 主基督就快再來。 憂傷的人，幫助者就在你左右， 保惠師就在你眼前， 祂來帶我們到我們的王那裡去， 使我們配得見祂， 我欣喜保惠師已經來到，主耶穌就快再來。
