12月31日 圆满人生

伯42:13，15-17
他也有七个儿子、三个女儿。在那全地的妇女中、找不着像约伯的女儿那样美貌．他们的父亲使他们在弟兄中得产业。此后、约伯又活了一百四十年、得见他的儿孙、直到四代。这样、约伯年纪老迈、日子满足而死。
He had also seven sons and three daughters.
In all the land were no women found so beautiful as the daughters of Job. Their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers. After this Job lived one hundred forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, to four generations. So Job died, being old and full of days.
主耶稣！约伯又活了140年，日子满足而死，因生前设定男女平等得产业，死后家人同等得和谐。主啊！这是美丽的人生终点，家人和睦是我渴望离世时献上的祭。

12月30日 有的还要加给他

伯42:12
这样、耶和华后来赐福给约伯、比先前更多．他有一万四千羊、六千骆驼、一千对牛、一千母驴。
So Yahweh blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand female donkeys.
主耶稣！约伯受苦之前的家产有七千羊、三千骆驼、五百对牛、五百母驴。受苦之后的祝福是先前的一倍。主啊！祢用苦难磨炼人的信心，用困难考验人的心智。坚信祢的信实到底的，必得双倍的赏赐。

12月29日 看到自身的问题

伯42:11
约伯的弟兄、姐妹、和以先所认识的人都来见他、在他家里一同吃饭．又论到耶和华所降与他的一切灾祸．都为他悲伤安慰他．每人也送他一块银子、和一个金环。
Then came there to him all his brothers, and all his sisters, and all those who had been of his acquaintance before, and ate bread with him in his house. They comforted him, and consoled him concerning all the evil that Yahweh had brought on him. Everyone also gave him a piece of money, and everyone a ring of gold.
主耶稣！我真不明白为什么约伯的家人和亲友，这一刻才出现，或许是约伯使他们不想相近。主啊！我有困难时，若是亲人都不帮我，求祢让我看到我自身的问题。

12月28日 蒙悦纳

伯42:9-10
于是提幔人以利法、书亚人比勒达、拿玛人琐法、照着耶和华所吩咐的去行、耶和华就悦纳约伯。约伯为他的朋友祈祷、耶和华就使约伯从苦境转回、〔苦境原文作掳掠〕并且耶和华赐给他的、比他从前所有的加倍。
So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did what Yahweh commanded them, and Yahweh accepted Job. Yahweh turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends. Yahweh gave Job twice as much as he had before.
主耶稣！何等微妙的关系，以利法，比勒达，琐法，照神的吩咐行，约伯蒙神悦纳。约伯为朋友祈祷，自己也得到祝福。主啊！谢谢祢的教诲，我们要彼此谦卑服事，彼此都蒙悦纳，蒙祝福。

12月27日 亲眼看见

伯42:1-5
约伯回答耶和华说、我知道你万事都能作、你的旨意不能拦阻。谁用无知的言语、使你的旨意隐藏呢。我所说的、是我不明白的．这些事太奇妙、是我不知道的。求你听我、我要说话．我问你、求你指示我。我从前风闻有你、现在亲眼看见你。
Then Job answered Yahweh, "I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be restrained. You asked, 'Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge?' therefore I have uttered that which I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I didn't know. You said, 'Listen, now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you will answer me.' I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you.
主耶稣！神的神性，永恒，能力，智慧，借着所造之物，人人都可以晓得，叫人不能推诿。主啊！我从前只风闻有祢，如今我背起十字架上跟随祢，我亲眼看见十字架带来了云彩般的见证。

12月26日 万有之首

伯41:11
谁先给我甚么、使我偿还呢、天下万物都是我的。
Who has first given to me, that I should repay him? Everything under the heavens is mine.
主耶稣！尊大、能力、荣耀、强胜、威严都是祢的．凡天上地下的、都是祢的、国度、也是祢的．并且祢为至高、为万有之首。因为万有都是本于祢、倚靠祢、归于祢．并且我们是属基督的．基督又是属神的。所以无论谁、都不可拿人夸口．因为万有全是我们的．(林前3：21)

12月25日 倚靠神享受"生命"

伯40:20-23
诸山给他出食物、也是百兽游玩之处。他伏在莲叶之下、卧在芦苇隐密处、和水洼子里。河水泛滥、他不发战、就是约但河的水涨到他口边、也是安然。
Surely the mountains produce food for him, where all the animals of the field play. He lies under the lotus trees, in the covert of the reed, and the marsh. Behold, if a river overflows, he doesn't tremble. He is confident, though the Jordan swells even to his mouth.
主耶稣！从河马的生活作息，我领悟了倚靠神的生命。主啊！我是神所造的人，是刚强的，有神的保护，有足够的能力，知识，智慧，去处理生活上的困难，有足够的勇气，去面对各种艰难，有足够的忍耐，等候神的帮助来到。

12月24日 上"神"学

伯40:15-19
你且观看河马．我造你也造他．他吃草与牛一样。他的气力在腰间、能力在肚腹的筋上。他摇动尾巴如香柏树．他大腿的筋互相联络。他的骨头好象铜管．他的肢体彷佛铁棍。他在神所造的物中为首．创造他的给他刀剑。
"See now, behemoth, which I made as well as you. He eats grass as an ox. Look now, his strength is in his thighs. His force is in the muscles of his belly. He moves his tail like a cedar. The sinews of his thighs are knit together. His bones are like tubes of brass. His limbs are like bars of iron. He is the chief of the ways of God. He who made him gives him his sword.
主耶稣！耶和华神让约伯上科学课。主啊！求祢教导我，使我可以借着所造之物，更深入认识神。我为耶和华神造我的智慧惊叹，是何等奇妙，完美！我要更爱惜我的身心灵，在凡事上叫神得荣耀。也求祢在我人生的课堂上教导我。

12月23日 要知道自己在做什么

伯40:6-9
于是耶和华从旋风中回答约伯、说、你要如勇士束腰．我问你、你可以指示我。你岂可废弃我所拟定的．岂可定我有罪、好显自己为义么。你有神那样的膀臂么．你能像他发雷声么。
Then Yahweh answered Job out of the whirlwind, "Now brace yourself like a man. I will question you, and you will answer me. Will you even annul my judgment? Will you condemn me, that you may be justified? Or do you have an arm like God? Can you thunder with a voice like him?
主耶稣！约伯被神责备，看见自身的问题。主啊！我也需要神来责备，我是何等的无知和狂妄，心中容不下神，虽然没说自己是神，要受人敬拜，然而却是希望受到人的崇拜。

12月22日 神从旋风中说话

伯38:1
那时耶和华从旋风中回答约伯说、谁用无知的言语、使我的旨意暗昧不明、
Then Yahweh answered Job out of the whirlwind, "Who is this who darkens counsel by words without knowledge?
主耶稣！经上记载，祢的祷告，说：父阿、愿祢荣耀祢的名．当时就有声音从天上来说、我已经荣耀了我的名、还要再荣耀。站在旁边的众人听见、就说、打雷了．还有人说、有天使对他说话。主啊！求祢打开我属灵的耳朵，能听到，明白祢不同的说话方式，也不会受人无知的言语所干扰，不明白神的旨意。

12月21日 学"问"

伯37:14-16
约伯阿、你要留心听．要站立思想神奇妙的作为。神如何吩咐这些、如何使云中的电光照耀、你知道么。云彩如何浮于空中、那知识全备者奇妙的作为、你知道么。
"Listen to this, Job. Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God. Do you know how God controls them, and causes the lightning of his cloud to shine? Do you know the workings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge?
主耶稣！以利户问的好，我要不断的学"问"，好叫我的知识，智慧都可以增长。主啊！我要对自然界的现象和超自然灵界的事产生好奇，我要不断的向圣灵询问，好叫我可以与神更亲密。

12月20日 古人的智慧

伯36:26-28，33
神为大、我们不能全知．他的年数不能测度。他吸取水点、这水点从云雾中就变成雨。云彩将雨落下、沛然降与世人。所发的雷声显明他的作为、又向牲畜指明要起暴风。
Behold, God is great, and we don't know him. The number of his years is unsearchable. For he draws up the drops of water, which distill in rain from his vapor, Which the skies pour down and which drop on man abundantly. Its noise tells about him, and the livestock also concerning the storm that comes up.
主耶稣！以利户对大自然现象的智慧，叫我惊叹，古人的观察，思考能力，是我所要学习的。主啊！教导我，懂得放慢脚步，留心，留意，观察自然界向我发出的信号。

12月19日 全能者不偏离公平

伯34:10-12
所以你们明理的人要听我的话．神断不至行恶、全能者断不至作孽。他必按人所作的报应人、使各人照所行的得报。神必不作恶、全能者也不偏离公平。
"Therefore listen to me, you men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness, from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity. For the work of a man he will render to him, and cause every man to find according to his ways. Yes surely, God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert justice.
 主耶苏！以利户认识神的属性，必按人所作的报应人、使各人照所行的得报。主啊！我承认过去有不公义，有诚实的行为，神有赦罪之恩，求祢赦免我不公义，不诚实的过犯。拯救我脱离种下不公义不诚实的后果。

12月18日 神用梦和异象向人说话

伯33:14-18
神说、一次、两次、世人却不理会。人躺在床上沉睡的时候神就用梦、和夜间的异象、开通他们的耳朵、将当受的教训印在他们心上、好叫人不从自己的谋算、不行骄傲的事。拦阻人不陷于坑里、不死在刀下。
For God speaks once, yes twice, though man pays no attention. In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men, in slumbering on the bed; Then he opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction, That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man. He keeps back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.
主耶稣！以利户对梦的领悟，虽是出于年轻一代的，是对的，我们年长的也要学习听。神多次在梦中向我们说话，有教训，有警告，有责备。主啊！叫我看重祢在梦中向我的启示。

12月17日 少年人常见的妄狂症

伯33:1-4
约伯阿、请听我的话、留心听我一切的言语。我现在开口、用舌发言。我的言语、要发明心中所存的正直．我所知道的、我嘴唇要诚实的说出。神的灵造我、全能者的气使我得生。你若回答我、就站起来、在我面前陈明。
"However, Job, please hear my speech, and listen to all my words. See now, I have opened my mouth. My tongue has spoken in my mouth. My words shall utter the uprightness of my heart. That which my lips know they shall speak sincerely. The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life. If you can, answer me. Set your words in order before me, and stand forth.
主耶稣！以利户的言行，让我想起我年青时期，记忆中想到对长辈，师长，年长者的无礼言行，我感到羞耻。主啊！求祢赦免！

12月16日 不要体贴人的意思

伯32:21-22
我必不看人的情面、也不奉承人。我不晓得奉承、若奉承、造我的主必快快除灭我。
Please don't let me respect any man's person, neither will I give flattering titles to any man. For I don't know how to give flattering titles; or else my Maker would soon take me away.
主耶稣！以利户不看人的情面，时下却忘了要体贴神的意思。祢责备彼得不贴体神的意思。主啊！我需要人的接纳和被肯定，更需要自我接纳，我是上帝的孩子，我是尊贵的，我有神所赐的尊荣，我不需要用奉承人去换取人的肯定，来肯定自己的价值。

12月15日 不急

伯32:17-19
我也要回答我的一分话、陈说我的意见。因为我的言语满怀、我里面的灵激动我。我的胸怀如盛酒之囊、没有出气之缝、又如新皮袋快要破裂。
I also will answer my part, and I also will show my opinion. For I am full of words. The spirit within me constrains me. Behold, my breast is as wine which has no vent; like new wineskins it is ready to burst.
主耶稣！以利户年轻，聪明，懂得明察，但，缺少老练。主啊！我想要作个老练的智慧人，洞察人心，晓得时机，说话合宜，做最有益处的善行，不冲动，不操作，不跟风，不强势，愿意凡事借着祷告，先寻求主面，学习等候，把握好时机。

12月14日 人的怒气不能成就神的义

伯32:2-4
那时有布西人、兰族巴拉迦的儿子以利户、向约伯发怒、因约伯自以为义、不以神为义。他又向约伯的三个朋友发怒、因为他们想不出回答的话来、仍以约伯为有罪。以利户要与约伯说话、就等候他们、因为他们比自己年老。以利户见这三个人口中无话回答、就怒气发作。
Then the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel, the Buzite, of the family of Ram, was kindled against Job. His wrath was kindled because he justified himself rather than God. Also his wrath was kindled against his three friends, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job. Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job, because they were elder than he. When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, his wrath was kindled.
主耶稣！以利户耐心等候发言，原是好事，可惜的事，表面尊敬，心中不满。主啊！ 人的怒气不能成就神的义，几时我的心有怨气，闷气，怒气，求主赦免，及时叫我的心要柔和谦卑，使怒气消散。

12月13日 人都会有的盲点：自夸无过

伯31:38-40
我若夺取田地、这地向我喊冤、犁沟一同哭泣．我若吃地的出产不给价值、或叫原主丧命．愿这地长蒺藜代替麦子、长恶草代替大麦．约伯的话说完了。
If my land cries out against me, and its furrows weep together; if I have eaten its fruits without money, or have caused its owners to lose their life, let briars grow instead of wheat, and stinkweed instead of barley." The words of Job are ended.
主耶稣！我看到约伯总结时显示的盲点，因为，世人都犯了罪，亏欠了上帝的荣耀。世上没有完全无过，完美无疵的人。主啊！我若是曾经自夸无过而说了诅咒的话，求祢帮助，破除诅咒背后破坏者势力，使我过得胜的生活。

12月12日 背弃在上的神

伯31:24-28
我若以黄金为指望、对精金说、你是我的倚靠．我若因财物丰裕、因我手多得资财而欢喜．我若见太阳发光、明月行在空中、心就暗暗被引诱、口便亲手．这也是审判官当罚的罪孽、又是我背弃在上的神。
"If I have made gold my hope, and have said to the fine gold, 'You are my confidence;' If I have rejoiced because my wealth was great, and because my hand had gotten much; if I have seen the sun when it shined, or the moon moving in splendor, and my heart has been secretly enticed, and my hand threw a kiss from my mouth, this also would be an iniquity to be punished by the judges; for I should have denied the God who is above.
主耶稣！我反复思想人的一生，他的年日如草一样。他发旺如野地的花。人生以何为倚靠，为乐，为荣？主啊！人若背弃在上的神，万事皆空，人若倚靠神，以神为荣，万事皆大欢喜。

12月11日 做好预备见神面

伯31:14
神兴起、我怎样行呢．他察问、我怎样回答呢。
What then shall I do when God rises up? When he visits, what shall I answer him?
主耶稣！感谢约伯的这句话所带给我的警惕，我们要随时做好见神面的预备。主啊！早晨我要命令我的心，我的眼，我的口，我的手，我的脚，都要降服于祢，求圣灵来帮助我做成口洁心清的人。

12月10日 事与愿违时需要属天的智慧

伯30:26-27，30-31
我仰望得好处、灾祸就到了．我等待光明、黑暗便来了。我心里烦扰不安、困苦的日子临到我身。我的皮肤黑而脱落．我的骨头因热烧焦。所以我的琴音变为悲音、我的箫声变为哭声。
When I looked for good, then evil came; When I waited for light, there came darkness. My heart is troubled, and doesn't rest. Days of affliction have come on me. My skin grows black and peels from me. My bones are burned with heat.
Therefore my harp has turned to mourning, and my pipe into the voice of those who weep.
主耶稣！我尝试去感受约伯事与愿违的处境和心里的悲哀。主啊！祢的话说，我们落在百般试炼中、都要以为大喜乐．因为知道我们的信心经过试验、就生忍耐。但忍耐也当成功、使我们成全完备、毫无缺欠。主啊！我向祢求在事与愿违时，赐我属天的智慧。

12月9日 约伯渴望的祝福

伯29:19-21
我的根长到水边、露水终夜沾在我的枝上．我的荣耀在身上增新、我的弓在手中日强。人听见我而仰望、静默等候我的指教。
My root is spread out to the waters. The dew lies all night on my branch. My glory is fresh in me. My bow is renewed in my hand.' "Men listened to me, waited, and kept silence for my counsel.
主耶稣！约伯在这里所描述的祝福，领我向神求。主啊！让我的生命，生活，生计全都蒙神祝福，满得圣灵带领的恩典，在生活中充满荣耀神的见证，带给家人祝福，也带给他人祝福。

12月8日 行路有光

伯29:1-3
约伯又接着说、惟愿我的景况如从前的月分、如　神保守我的日子。那时他的灯照在我头上．我藉他的光行过黑暗。
Job again took up his parable, and said, "Oh that I were as in the months of old, as in the days when God watched over me; when his lamp shone on my head, and by his light I walked through darkness.
主耶稣！约伯晓得有灯照在他头上，主啊！我晓得祢的话语是我脚前的灯，路上的光，我有神的话语在心中，无论是在白天或黑夜，行事为人，我靠的是祢的话，行路就有光。

12月7日 听神得智慧

伯28:20,23-28
智慧从何处来呢．聪明之处在哪里呢。神明白智慧的道路、晓得智慧的所在。因他鉴察直到地极、遍观普天之下．要为风定轻重．又度量诸水。他为雨露定命令、为雷电定道路。那时他看见智慧、而且述说．他坚定、并且查究。他对人说、敬畏主就是智慧、远离恶便是聪明。
Where then does wisdom come from? Where is the place of understanding? "God understands its way, and he knows its place. For he looks to the ends of the earth, and sees under the whole sky. He establishes the force of the wind. Yes, he measures out the waters by measure. When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder; then he saw it, and declared it. He established it, yes, and searched it out. To man he said, 'Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom. To depart from evil is understanding.'"
主耶稣！世人都在用自己的知识和聪明去寻找快乐，和满足感。主啊！离了祢，世人以为享乐的智慧都变得愚味。唯有敬畏神的智慧，能够叫人得满足的喜乐。

12月6日 与心和口立约

伯27:1-5
约伯接着说、神夺去我的理、全能者使我心中愁苦．我指着永生的神起誓、我的生命尚在我里面、神所赐呼吸之气仍在我的鼻孔内。我的嘴决不说非义之言、我的舌也不说诡诈之语。我断不以你们为是．我至死必不以自己为不正。
Job again took up his parable, and said, "As God lives, who has taken away my right, the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter.
For the length of my life is still in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils; surely my lips shall not speak unrighteousness, neither shall my tongue utter deceit. Far be it from me that I should justify you. Until I die I will not put away my integrity from me.
主耶稣！我的心和口都要一同顺服神，向神忠心，就是心口一至。主啊！每早晨，打开眼睛的第一刻，我要向心和口发命令，我的心，我的口啊！你要敬畏神，向神持纯正。

12月5日 求主显明

伯26:1-3
约伯回答说、无能的人、蒙你何等的帮助．膀臂无力的人、蒙你何等的拯救。无智慧的人、蒙你何等的指教．你向他多显大知识。
Then Job answered, "How have you helped him who is without power! How have you saved the arm that has no strength! How have you counseled him who has no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!
主耶稣！约伯看见人的有限。主啊！我承认我的知识，智慧，能力，都有限，求祢叫我有生之年，在身体的局限中，可以在日常生活中，常常经历到祢的无限奇妙的显明，成就一切美善的事。

12月4日 人怎能称义

伯25:1-4
书亚人比勒达回答说、神有治理之权、有威严可畏．他在高处施行和平。他的诸军、岂能数算．他的光亮一发、谁不蒙照呢。这样在神面前、人怎能称义．妇人所生的、怎能洁净。
Then Bildad the Shuhite answered, "Dominion and fear are with him. He makes peace in his high places. Can his armies be counted? On whom does his light not arise? How then can man be just with God? Or how can he who is born of a woman be clean?
主耶稣！人称义，不是因行律法，乃是因信耶稣基督，连我们也信了基督耶稣，使我们因信基督称义，不因行律法称义。因为凡有血气的，没有一人因行律法称义。主啊！约伯被问，人怎能称义？任何人的答案都是陡然，因为唯有叫人称义的神，才是答案。

12月3日 背向真光人做恶

伯24:13
又有人背弃光明、不认识光明的道、不住在光明的路上。
"These are of those who rebel against the light. They don't know its ways, nor stay in its paths.
主耶稣！约伯看到恶人的根本原因是背向真光。主啊！祢是真光，世界的光，生命的光，我要归回，要认识真理的光，在光明中行，在光明中生活，传扬那召我脱离黑暗，领我进入光明者的美德。

12月2日 敬畏神

伯23:14-16
他向我所定的、就必作成．这类的事他还有许多。所以我在他面前惊惶、我思念这事、便惧怕他。神使我丧胆、全能者使我惊惶。我的恐惧、不是因为黑暗、也不是因为幽暗蒙蔽我的脸。
For He performs that which is appointed for me. Many such things are with Him . Therefore I am terrified at His presence. When I consider, I am afraid of Him. For God has made my heart faint. The Almighty has terrified me. Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither did he cover the thick darkness from my face.
主耶稣！ 我的恐惧，不是因为贫穷或是疾病、也不是因为恶人的恐吓，更不是撒旦。主啊！我怕的是与神隔离，在言语，心里，行为上得罪神。

12月1日 似是而非

伯22:21-25
你要认识神、就得平安．福气也必临到你。你当领受他口中的教训、将他的言语存在心里。你若归向全能者、从你帐棚中远除不义、就必得建立。要将你的珍宝丢在尘土里、将俄斐的黄金丢在溪河石头之间．全能者就必为你的珍宝、作你的宝银。
"Acquaint yourself with him, now, and be at peace. Thereby good shall come to you. Please receive instruction from his mouth, and lay up his words in your heart. If you return to the Almighty, you shall be built up, if you put away unrighteousness far from your tents. Lay your treasure in the dust, the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks. The Almighty will be your treasure, and precious silver to you.
主耶稣！以利法的教导渗入似是而非的知识，将人的知识套在神的属性上。主啊！求祢赐给我属天的智慧，能剖开人知识中不合神的教导。

11月30日 学习聆听

伯21:1-2
约伯回答说，你们要细听我的言语，就算是你们安慰我。
Then Job answered, "Listen diligently to my speech. Let this be your consolation.
主耶稣！我承认，许多时候心里有主见，当他人有发表意见有异于我，我很快就心烦。有时候他人不善表达，或表达能力不合我的，我也心烦。主啊！每早晨求祢赐我有受教者谦卑的心，和聆听的耳，使我一生受益，叫我做个善于聆听的安慰者。

11月 29日 心中急躁

伯20:1-3
拿玛人琐法回答说、我心中急躁、所以我的思念叫我回答。我已听见那羞辱我责备我的话．我的悟性叫我回答。
Then Zophar the Naamathite answered, "Therefore do my thoughts give answer to me, even by reason of my haste that is in me. I have heard the reproof which puts me to shame. The spirit of my understanding answers me.
主耶稣！琐法因心中急躁而发言失误，使我想起箴言的教诲：你见言语急躁的人么．愚昧人比他更有指望。传道书说：你不要心里急躁恼怒、因为恼怒存在愚昧人的怀中。主啊！我若是心中急躁，就会先想到祢的教诲，我要向我的心，说"我的心啊！你应当仰望神"。

11月28日 我知道我的救赎主活着

伯19:25-27
我知道我的救赎主活着、末了必站立在地上．我这皮肉灭绝之后、我必在肉体之外得见神。我自己要见他、亲眼要看他、并不像外人．我的心肠在我里面消灭了。
But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives. In the end, he will stand upon the earth. After my skin is destroyed, then in my flesh shall I see God, Whom I, even I, shall see on my side. My eyes shall see, and not as a stranger. "My heart is consumed within me.
主耶稣！我知道我的救赎主活着，出自约伯的口。主啊！ 我知道我的救赎主活着，我就安稳，不再惊慌，不再惧怕，我深知道知道，耶和华神会随时为我的帮助。

11月27日 兴起义人攻击不敬虔之辈

伯17:8-9
正直人、因此必惊奇、无辜的人、要兴起攻击不敬虔之辈。然而义人要持守所行的道、手洁的人要力上加力。
Upright men shall be astonished at this. The innocent shall stir up himself against the godless. Yet shall the righteous hold on his way. He who has clean hands shall grow stronger and stronger.
主耶稣！那一天，法利赛人，文士大声催逼彼拉多、求他把祢钉在十字架上。他们的声音就得了胜。主啊！恩膏城市的义人，不再闪避恶人威胁，恐吓，挑衅的声浪，敢于发声抵挡，求祢兴起义人起来攻击不敬虔之辈。

11月25日 愚昧人

Is it good that He should search you out? Or as one deceives a man, will you deceive Him?
主耶稣！ 经上说：不要自欺，神是轻慢不得的，人种的是甚么，收的也是甚么。想欺哄人的必被人欺哄，欺骗人必被人所骗，欺善怕恶的必被恶所胜。主啊！我向祢求智慧，好让我可以看见我里面有什么恶行没有，也知道且有能力行神看为正为善为公的事。

11月24日 居安思危，居危思进

In the thought of him who is at ease there is contempt for misfortune. It is ready for them whose foot slips.

伯11:1，5-6
拿玛人琐法回答说、..惟愿神说话、愿他开口攻击你。并将智慧的奥秘指示你．他有诸般的智识。所以当知道神追讨你、比你罪孽该得的还少。
Then Zophar, the Naamathite, answered, ..But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against you, that he would show you the secrets of wisdom! For true wisdom has two sides. Know therefore that God exacts of you less than your iniquity deserves.
主耶稣！论断人的道理，再好，再有理，还是论断。主啊！教导我认识真理，能够在生活中常常先省察自己，对人先有怜悯后道理，就是有理只有表达却不论断。

11月23曰 心里愁苦说气话

伯10:1-3
我厌烦我的性命、必由着自己述说我的哀情．因心里苦恼．我要说话． 对神说、不要定我有罪、要指示我、你为何与我争辩。你手所造的、你又欺压、又藐视、却光照恶人的计谋．这事你以为美么。
"My soul is weary of my life. I will give free course to my complaint. I will speak in the bitterness of my soul. I will tell God, 'Do not condemn me. Show me why you contend with me. Is it good to you that you should oppress, that you should despise the work of your hands, and smile on the counsel of the wicked?
主耶稣！祢被骂不还口．受害不说威吓的话．只将自己交托那按公义审判人的主．主啊！赦免我，有时候我也会心里苦恼说了不该说的话，我要成长，长大成人，效法祢的样式，将自己交托给神。

11月21日 信念混淆

伯9:15-16
我虽有义、也不回答他．只要向那审判我的恳求。我若呼吁、他应允我、我仍不信他真听我的声音。

主耶稣！我深信，耶和华神有丰盛的慈爱，有怜悯，有赦罪之恩，我们的祷告，天父必垂听。主啊！求祢帮助我，拨除在我信念中的不属神的观念。

11月20日 话中有话

伯8:1-6
书亚人比勒达回答、说、这些话你要说到几时．口中的言语如狂风要到几时呢。神岂能偏离公平．全能者岂能偏离公义。或者你的儿女得罪了他、他使他们受报应。你若殷勤的寻求神、向全能者恳求．你若清洁正直．他必定为你起来、使你公义的居所兴旺。
Then Bildad the Shuhite answered, "How long will you speak these things? Shall the words of your mouth be a mighty wind? Does God pervert justice? Or does the Almighty pervert righteousness? If your children have sinned against him, He has delivered them into the hand of their disobedience. If you want to seek God diligently, make your supplication to the Almighty. If you were pure and upright, surely now he would awaken for you, and make the habitation of your righteousness prosperous.
主耶稣！书亚人比勒达的话中有话，心中不敬畏神的知识使人狂妄。主啊！我需要圣灵帮助我，使我的心有警觉，把想要说的话先与圣灵沟通，不断的修正，直到感觉到圣灵所赐的平安才开口。

11月19日 向神吐胆倾心

伯7:20-21
鉴察人的主阿、我若有罪、于你何妨．为何以我当你的箭靶子、使我厌弃自己的性命。为何不赦免我的过犯、除掉我的罪孽。我现今要躺卧在尘土中．你要殷勤的寻找我、我却不在了。
If I have sinned, what do I do to you, you watcher of men? Why have you set me as a mark for you, so that I am a burden to myself?
Why do you not pardon my disobedience, and take away my iniquity? For now shall I lie down in the dust. You will seek me diligently, but I shall not be."
主耶稣！约伯向神吐胆倾心，主啊！祢降尊临卑，称我为友，给我吐胆倾心的恩典，可以坦然无惧来到父的施恩座前，天父，谢谢祢容许我可以向祢倾诉，谢谢祢的爱，忍心听我的心声。

"To him who is ready to faint, kindness should be shown from his friend; even to him who forsakes the fear of the Almighty.
主耶稣！我记得经上说：最要紧的是彼此切实相爱．因为爱能遮掩许多的罪。是神的慈爱领我悔过自新，求主教导给我，以神的慈爱去引人悔改。

11月17日 矛盾的心理

伯6:5-10
野驴有草、岂能叫唤．牛有料、岂能吼叫。
物淡而无盐、岂可吃么、蛋青有甚么滋味呢。看为可厌的食物、我心不肯挨近。惟愿我得着所求的、愿神赐我所切望的．就是愿神把我压碎、伸手将我剪除。我因没有违弃那圣者的言语、就仍以此为安慰、在不止息的痛苦中、还可踊跃。
Does the wild donkey bray when he has grass? Or does the ox low over his fodder? Can that which has no flavor be eaten without salt? Or is there any taste in the white of an egg? My soul refuses to touch them. They are as loathsome food to me. "Oh that I might have my request, that God would grant the thing that I long for, even that it would please God to crush me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off! Be it still my consolation, yes, let me exult in pain that doesn't spare, that I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
主耶稣！约伯有高智商，却面对人软弱时矛盾的心理。主啊！我承认我也同样面对理性与心理的矛盾。我在信念上相信祢是爱我的神，但一有情绪，就觉得祢不再爱我，有时还说不该说的话。求祢赦免！

11月16日 先入为主

伯5:3-4,27
我曾见愚妄人扎下根．但我忽然咒诅他的住处。他的儿女、远离稳妥的地步、在城门口被压、并无人搭救。...这理我们已经考察、本是如此．你须要听、要知道是与自己有益。
I have seen the foolish taking root, but suddenly I cursed his habitation. His children are far from safety. They are crushed in the gate. Neither is there any to deliver them, ...
Look this, we have searched it, so it is. Hear it, and know it for your good."
主耶稣！认识约伯的三个朋友来看约伯，他们已经判定是神在处罚约伯。主啊！每当我去扶助有需要帮助的人时，求祢除去我先入为主和自以为义的思维，叫我安慰的话语，没有指责，定罪，批评，和控告。求祢让我体会需要接受帮助者内心的苦楚。

11月15日 内心世界

伯3:25-26
因我所恐惧的临到我身、我所惧怕的迎我而来。我不得安逸、不得平静、也不得安息．却有患难来到。
For the thing which I fear comes on me, That which I am afraid of comes to me. I am not at ease, neither am I quiet, neither have I rest; but trouble comes."
主耶稣！约伯虽然完全正直，远离恶事，内心却是恐惧，惧怕。主啊！唯有祢晓得我内心深处的需要，祢是赐平安的主，随时随事亲自给我们平安。有祢的应许与我们同在，我就得平安。

11月14日 不以口犯罪

伯2:10
约伯却对他说，你说话像愚顽的妇人一样。嗳，难道我们从神手里得福，不也受祸么。在这一切的事上，约伯并不以口犯罪。
But he said to her, "You speak as one of the foolish women would speak. What? Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?" In all this Job didn't sin with his lips.
主耶稣！心里所充满的，口里会说出来，约伯心中有苦，然而，因过去操练敬畏耶和华神结出节制的品格，才能够不以口犯罪。主啊！我要操练敬畏祢，结节制的果子，懂得在凡事上远离恶事，也懂得在凡事上谢恩。

11月13日 地上有什么？

伯1:6-7
有一天，神的众子来侍立在耶和华面前，撒但也来在其中。耶和华问撒但说、你从那里来．撒但回答说、我从地上走来走去，往返而来。
Now it happened on the day when God's sons came to present themselves before Yahweh, that Satan also came among them. Yahweh said to Satan, "Where have you come from?" Then Satan answered Yahweh, and said, "From going back and forth in the earth, and from walking up and down in it."
主耶稣！神无所不在，在天也同时在地，人在地上住，撒旦却在地上走来走去，往返天与地。主啊！耶和华神定的日子将到，撒旦必被扔进永远不灭的火中。新天新地，只有神与人同住，这是我想往的居所。

11月12日 为父的心

伯1:5
筵宴的日子过了、约伯打发人去叫他们自洁．他清早起来、按着他们众人的数目献燔祭．因为他说、恐怕我儿子犯了罪、心中弃掉　神。约伯常常这样行。
It was so, when the days of their feasting had run their course, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, "It may be that my sons have sinned, and renounced God in their hearts." Job did so continually.
主耶稣！约伯为父爱儿女，叫他担心的事，是儿女得罪神，远离神。主啊！这也是我们为人父母所担心的，求主施恩，祝福我们的儿女，有敬畏耶和华神的心，有辨明和远离恶事的智慧能力，有决心和意志力，亲近耶和华神。

11月11日 美名

伯1:1
乌斯地、有一个人名叫约伯．那人完全正直、敬畏神、远离恶事。
There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job. That man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God, and turned away from evil.
主耶稣！约伯在耶和华神面前，得到的美名，不是行了什么神迹奇事，做过多少事工，乃是：敬畏神，远离恶事，完全正直。主啊！这是我人生的目标。但愿我在祢名册上的评语也是如此。

11月10日 作王的谋士

For Mordecai the Jew was next to King Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews, and accepted by the multitude of his brothers, seeking the good of his people, and speaking peace to all his descendants.

Now in the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the month, when the king's commandment and his decree drew near to be put in execution, on the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to conquer them, (but it was turned out the opposite happened, that the Jews conquered those who hated them), to enjoin them that they should keep the fourteenth and fifteenth days of the month Adar yearly, as the days in which the Jews had rest from their enemies, and the month which was turned to them from sorrow to gladness, and from mourning into a good day; that they should make them days of feasting and gladness, and of sending presents of food to one another, and gifts to the needy.
主耶稣！以斯帖命定守普珥日，记录在书上，以色列人守普珥日，直到现在。主啊！ 脱离仇敌得平安，转忧为喜，转悲为乐，设筵欢乐，彼此馈送礼物，赒济穷人。这是主的日子，我们可以天天活在主的日子里，感恩！

末底改穿著蓝色白色的朝服、头戴大金冠冕、又穿紫色细麻布的外袍、从王面前出来．书珊城的人民、都欢呼快乐。犹大人有光荣欢喜快乐而得尊贵。王的谕旨所到的各省各城、犹大人都欢喜快乐、设摆筵宴、以那日为吉日。那国的人民、有许多因惧怕犹大人、就入了犹大籍。
Mordecai went out of the presence of the king in royal clothing of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold, and with a robe of fine linen and purple; and the city of Susa shouted and was glad. The Jews had light, gladness, joy, and honor. In every province, and in every city, wherever the king's commandment and his decree came, the Jews had gladness, joy, a feast, and a good day. Many from among the peoples of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews was fallen on them.
主耶稣！末底改头戴大金冠冕，全城欢呼，许多人因惧怕犹大人，就入了犹大籍。主啊！祢头戴荆棘冠冕，仇敌欢呼。然而，第三天，祢从死里复活，升天，戴荣耀冠冕，普天同庆，万国万民入藉主名，都要欢呼。我和我家也入藉主名下。阿们！

主耶稣！以斯帖所愿所求的是本家本族的生命，超越他本人的需要。使徒保罗说，他在肉身活着，对信徒是有益的，使他们在真道上又长进又喜乐。主啊！将生命赐给我，使我的生命可以成为本家本族的祝福。

11月6日 必然得胜

斯6:12-13
末底改仍回到朝门．哈曼却忧忧闷闷地蒙着头、急忙回家去了．将所遇的一切事、详细说给他的妻细利斯和他的众朋友听．他的智慧人和他的妻细利斯对他说、你在末底改面前始而败落、他如果是犹大人、你必不能胜他、终必在他面前败落。
Mordecai came back to the king's gate, but Haman hurried to his house, mourning and having his head covered. Haman recounted to Zeresh his wife and all his friends everything that had happened to him. Then his wise men and Zeresh his wife said to him, "If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is of Jewish descent, you will not prevail against him, but you will surely fall before him."
主耶稣！哈曼家人承认犹大人有耶和华神的相助，必然得胜。主啊！我因信基督耶稣是主，是我的神，耶和华神是我所倚靠的，那与我相争相斗，想陷害我的人，终必在我面前败落，因有耶和华神扶持我。

11月5日 万事互相效力

斯6:1-3
那夜王睡不着觉、就吩咐人取历史来、念给他听。正遇见书上写着说、王的太监中有两个守门的辟探和提列想要下手害亚哈随鲁王．末底改将这事告诉王后。王说、末底改行了这事、赐他甚么尊荣爵位没有．伺候王的臣仆回答说、没有赐他甚么。
On that night, the king couldn't sleep. He commanded the book of records of the chronicles to be brought, and they were read to the king. It was found written that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's eunuchs, who were doorkeepers, who had tried to lay hands on the King Ahasuerus.
The king said, "What honor and dignity has been bestowed on Mordecai for this?" Then the king's servants who attended him said, "Nothing has been done for him."
主耶稣！未底改只按心中的纯正而活，不求王的报酬，神记念他仆人的善行。主啊！ 人会忘记我的善行，求祢教导我不为这些事烦躁，只专注与祢，叫我不忘记祢的恩惠。我深信万事都互相效力，叫爱神的人得益处。

11月4日 我知所信的是谁

斯5:6-7

The king said to Esther at the banquet of wine, "What is your petition? It shall be granted you. What is your request? Even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed." Then Esther answered and said, "My petition and my request is this.
主耶稣！以斯帖确定所要所求，不会为王的美言所左右。主啊！我深知我所信的谁，我所要所求的都是从祢而来，我所求的是神的国和神的义，我所要的是行公义，好怜悯，心存谦卑，与神同行。我所要所求的不会被这世界的王的美言诱惑而偏离了神的旨意。

11月3日 死就死吧！

斯4:13-16
末底改托人回复以斯帖说、你莫想在王宫里强过一切犹大人、得免这祸．此时你若闭口不言、犹大人必从别处得解脱、蒙拯救、你和你父家、必致灭亡．焉知你得了王后的位分、不是为现今的机会么。以斯帖就吩咐人回报末底改说、你当去招聚书珊城所有的犹大人、为我禁食三昼三夜、不吃不喝．我和我的宫女、也要这样禁食．然后我违例进去见王．我若死就死吧。
Then Mordecai asked them return answer to Esther, "Don't think to yourself that you will escape in the king's house any more than all the Jews. For if you remain silent now, then relief and deliverance will come to the Jews from another place, but you and your father's house will perish. Who knows if you haven't come to the kingdom for such a time as this?"
Then Esther asked them to answer Mordecai,
"Go, gather together all the Jews who are present in Shushan, and fast for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day. I and my maidens will also fast the same way. Then I will go in to the king, which is against the law; and if I perish, I perish."
主耶稣！以斯帖说"死就死吧！"这是决定，是信心的宣告。从我们的决定就可以看到信心在那里，从我们的行为就可以看到信心的真实。主啊！我要真实的信心，有勇气的信心。

10月2日 不向恶人妥协

斯3:4-5
他们天天劝他、他还是不听、他们就告诉哈曼、要看末底改的事站得住站不住、因他已经告诉他们自己是犹大人．哈曼见末底改不跪不拜、他就怒气填胸．
Now it came to pass, when they spoke daily to him, and he didn't listen to them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai's reason would stand; for he had told them that he was a Jew. When Haman saw that Mordecai didn't bow down, nor pay him homage, Haman was full of wrath.
主耶稣！末底改坚决不向恶人妥协的信心是我所要的。主啊！ 我要谨慎遵循经上所说，不从恶人的计谋、不站罪人的道路、不坐亵慢人的座位。我只要在凡事锻炼敬畏神，就有能量不再惧怕恶人的威吓。

《父母规》

1）从此刻起：　　
　　我要多鼓励、赞美孩子，
　　而不是批评、指责、埋怨孩子。
　　因为我知道只有鼓励和赞美才能带给孩子自信和力量，
　　批评、指责、埋怨只是在发泄我的情绪，伤害孩子的心灵；
2）从此刻起　　
　　我要用行动去影响孩子，
　　而不是用言语去说教孩子。
　　因为我知道孩子的行为不是被教导而成，
　　而是被影响和模仿而成；
3）从此刻起：　　
　　我要多聆听孩子的心声，
　　而不是急于评断孩子。
　　因为我知道聆听才是最好的沟通。
4）从此刻起：　　
　　我要无条件的去爱孩子本来的样子，
　　而不是去爱我要求的样子；
　　因为我知道那是我的自私和自我；
5）从此刻起：　　
　　我要学会蹲下来与孩子平等沟通，
　　而不是居高临下的指使孩子。
　　因为我知道强制打压只会带来孩子更强烈的叛逆和反抗；
6）从此刻起：　　
　　我要用心去陪伴孩子，
　　而不是心不在焉的敷衍孩子。
　　因为我知道只有真正的陪伴才能让孩子感受到爱的温暖；
7）从此刻起：　　
　　我要控制自己的情绪，
　　和孩子一起安静和平的处理好每一个当下。
　　因为我知道脾气和暴力只代表我的无能和对孩子的伤害；
8）从此刻起：　　
　　我要积极主动的处理好与爱人的关系，
　　创造一个和谐的家庭环境，
　　绝不让夫妻矛盾影响和伤 害到孩子，
　　因为我知道只有夫妻关系和睦才是对孩子最大的爱；
9）从此刻起：　　
　　我要让孩子长成他要长成的样子，
　　而不是我期待的样子。
　　因为我知道孩子并不属于我，
　　他只是经由我来到这个世界，
　　去完成他自己的梦想和使命。
10）从此刻起：　　
　　我要通过孩子的问题，
　　找出我自己的问题，修正我自己，
　　
11）从此刻起：

11月1日 晓得该做的事

斯2:21-23
当那时候、末底改坐在朝门、王的太监中有两个守门的辟探和提列恼恨亚哈随鲁王、想要下手害他．末底改知道了、就告诉王后以斯帖．以斯帖奉末底改的名、报告于王． 究察这事、果然是实、就把二人挂在木头上、将这事在王面前写于历史上。
In those days, while Mordecai was sitting in the king's gate, two of the king's eunuchs, Bigthan and Teresh, who were doorkeepers, were angry, and sought to lay hands on the King Ahasuerus. This thing became known to Mordecai, who informed Esther the queen; and Esther informed the king in Mordecai's name.
When this matter was investigated, and it was found to be so, they were both hanged on a tree; and it was written in the book of the chronicles in the king's presence.
主耶稣！末底改和以斯帖都晓得该做的事，这是我所渴求的。主啊！扩大我的思路，扩张我的思维，把喜欢做，能够做，应该做的事，都要与神的心意对齐。

【劉曉亭牧師專欄】你覺得自己不屬靈嗎？相信這是很多基督徒的感覺！

有這個感覺不是壞事，因為會催促我們多思考天上的事，畢竟，這個信仰很多價值觀跟世俗不同，這會導致許多拉扯。覺得自己不屬靈意味著我們有許多行事為人還是遵循現今的世代，還沒有體會到聖經的立場，這會讓我們的信仰更成熟。

但是有一種情況是要澄清的，如果「不屬靈」的感覺是來自比較，那就有可能是文化引起的，不是真理引導的。

什麼時候我們不屬靈的感受會被觸發？

當我們聽別人禱告引經據典，自己卻三分鐘就報告完畢的時候。
當我們聽別人說「神對我說…」我們卻納悶神怎麼都不對我說的時候。
當我們在特別聚會看見別人痛哭流涕甚至會倒下去，我們卻屹立不搖的時候。
當我們看見別人忘情敬拜，我們卻不為所動的時候。
當我們看見別人講一大堆神學術語，我們卻不知所云的時候。
當我們看見別人瘋狂投入教會活動，我們卻分身乏術的時候。

確實，當我們「看別人」的時候，就常常覺得自己不屬靈。

怎麼辦？

這時候我們就需要看到比我們更不屬靈的人，我們就得到安慰了。

這真的是信仰嗎？
還是文化？
一種長久以來的競爭比較文化？

聖經說得明白，要我們定睛仰望為我們創始成終的耶穌。

別人的經歷或是信仰再怎麼屬靈(甚至他到底有沒有真的那麼屬靈)，都跟我們沒有關係。

為什麼別人的信仰會有那種方式，也跟我們沒有關係，除非他人的信仰方式已經讓我們有偏離聖經的疑問，我們需要分辨或是提出警告，否則，別的基督徒呈現的信仰方式，還是不要困擾我們比較好，畢竟，我們是效法耶穌，不是效法信徒。

若真要效法信徒，那就是像希伯來書說的，效法他們對上帝的信心，不管環境如何，都堅定自己的信仰，而不是效法他們的超能力與神蹟奇事。

說到能力，舊約最厲害的當屬摩西，但是請看看上帝對他的評語：「摩西為人極其謙和，勝過世上的眾人」（民12:3）在同一章，上帝接著說，摩西是在上帝的家中全然盡忠。

這跟耶穌的五千兩比喻強調人活著要「良善，忠心」不謀而合。可見，品格才是上帝重視的。

聖經也說耶穌心裡柔和謙卑。顯然，基督徒該注重的是整個內在生命性格的轉變，而不是宗教行為的外顯。

生命能活出神的榮耀，那就是聖靈充滿的目的，我們是為了活出信仰而讀經禱告，因為晝夜思想神的話，自然會轉變我們的價值觀，隨時靠著聖靈多方禱告，會讓我們分辨自己有沒有走在對的路上。

＊信仰不是重擔，罪才是重擔。靠主喜樂才是成為基督徒的初衷。

10月31日 知足感恩的美

斯2:15
末底改叔叔亚比孩的女儿、就是末底改收为自己女儿的以斯帖、按次序当进去见王的时候、除了掌管女子的太监希该所派定给他的、他别无所求．凡看见以斯帖的都喜悦他。
Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, came to go in to the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king's eunuch, the keeper of the women, advised. Esther obtained favor in the sight of all those who looked at her.
主耶稣！以斯帖知足感恩的美，使美丽漂亮的以斯帖更讨人喜悦。主啊！我渴慕以斯帖的内在美，求祢赐我智慧能力，学习自省，不与人比较，懂得知足常乐，凡事谢恩，儆醒感恩。

10月30日 大开藐视和忿怒之端

斯1:16-18
米母干在王和众首领面前回答说、王后瓦实提、这事不但得罪王、并且有害于王各省的臣民．因为王后这事必传到众妇人的耳中、说、亚哈随鲁王吩咐王后瓦实提到王面前、他却不来、他们就藐视自己的丈夫．今日波斯和玛代的众夫人听见王后这事、必向王的大臣照样行．从此必大开藐视和忿怒之端。
Memucan answered before the king and the princes, "Vashti the queen has not done wrong to just the king, but also to all the princes, and to all the people who are in all the provinces of the King Ahasuerus. For this deed of the queen will become known to all women, causing them to show contempt for their husbands, when it is reported, 'King Ahasuerus commanded Vashti the queen to be brought in before him, but she didn't come.' Today, the princesses of Persia and Media who have heard of the queen's deed will tell all the king's princes. This will cause much contempt and wrath.
主耶稣！王后瓦实提不尊重丈夫，大开藐视和忿怒之端的危机。主啊！求祢赦免我们不尊重配偶的罪，也求祢的恩典临到我家，关闭所有藐视和忿怒的之门。

10月29日 做该作成的事

尼13:30-31
这样、我洁净他们、使他们离绝一切外邦人、派定祭司和利未人的班次、使他们各尽其职． 我又派百姓按定期献柴、和初熟的土产。我的神阿、求你记念我、施恩与我。
Thus I cleansed them from all foreigners, and appointed duties for the priests and for the Levites, everyone in his work; and for the wood offering, at times appointed, and for the first fruits. Remember me, my God, for good.
主耶稣！尼西米清楚知道该作成的事。主啊！求祢赐予我们有清晰的思维，从洁净，派定，定期，到各人各尽其职，完成该作成的事，叫神得荣耀。

10月28日 诱惑

尼13:26
我又说、以色列王所罗门不是在这样的事上犯罪么．在多国中并没有一王像他、且蒙他神所爱、神立他作以色列全国的王．然而连他也被外邦女子引诱犯罪。
Didn't Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? Yet among many nations was there no king like him, and he was beloved of his God, and God made him king over all Israel. Nevertheless foreign women caused even him to sin.
主耶稣！眼目的情欲，肉体的情欲，今生的骄傲，无处不在，无时无刻，都在寻找可以诱惑的人。主啊！我要紧紧抓住祢的准绳，几时我被诱惑，求祢及时把我拉住，不叫我滑脚。

10月26日 全家都喜乐

尼12:43
那日众人献大祭而欢乐．因为神使他们大大欢乐．连妇女带孩童也都欢乐．甚至耶路撒冷中的欢声听到远处。
They offered great sacrifices that day, and rejoiced; for God had made them rejoice with great joy; and the women also and the children rejoiced: so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even afar off.
主耶稣！我向父祈求，不是我一个人独自喜乐，乃是要我们全家都能够喜乐。父啊！我要不断的学习以神为乐，以家人的喜乐为我的喜乐。

10月25日 王为歌唱的出命令

尼11:23
王为歌唱的出命令、每日供给他们必有一定之粮。
For there was a commandment from the king concerning them, and a settled provision for the singers, as every day required.
主耶稣！地上的国王看重，珍惜歌唱的，为他们所需的设想。主啊！教会负责敬拜的，音控的，吹角的，弹琴的，领唱的，助唱的，是神所看重的，珍惜的。求神出命令，叫他们所需要的一无所缺，叫他们的家都蒙祝福，像俄别以东一家。

10月24日 以神为中心定例定期守节

尼10:34，39
我们的祭司、利未人、和百姓、都掣签、看每年是哪一族、按定期将献祭的柴奉到我们神的殿里、照着律法上所写的、烧在耶和华我们神的坛上． 以色列人和利未人、要将五谷、新酒、和油、为举祭、奉到收存圣所器皿的屋子里、就是供职的祭司、守门的、歌唱的所住的屋子．这样、我们就不离弃我们神的殿。
We cast lots, the priests, the Levites, and the people, for the wood offering, to bring it into the house of our God, according to our fathers' houses, at times appointed, year by year, to burn on the altar of Yahweh our God, as it is written in the law; For the children of Israel and the children of Levi shall bring the wave offering of the grain, of the new wine, and of the oil, to the rooms, where are the vessels of the sanctuary, and the priests who minister, and the porters, and the singers. We will not forsake the house of our God.
主耶稣！ 以神为中心的定例定期守节，帮助了以色列不离弃神的殿。主啊！感恩，教会以主耶稣为中心，定主日，定圣餐，定洗礼，定受难节，定五旬节，定复活节，也帮助了信徒不离弃神属灵的家，我也喜悦以神中心的定例守期定节。

10月23日 我的心在哪里？

尼10:32
我们又为自己定例、每年各人捐银一舍客勒三分之一、为我们神殿的使用．
Also we made ordinances for ourselves, to charge ourselves yearly with the third part of a shekel for the service of the house of our God;
主耶稣！尼西米的心系于神，关心神的家，特意定例把财宝也联系于神。主啊！因为我们的财宝在那里、我们的心也在那里。我要心系于神，我也要定例把一部分的财富归入神的名。

10月22日 耶和华神的圣日

尼8:9，10，12
省长尼希米、和作祭司的文士以斯拉、并教训百姓的利未人、对众民说、今日是耶和华你们神的圣日．不要悲哀哭泣．这是因为众民听见律法书上的话都哭了。又对他们说、你们去吃肥美的、喝甘甜的、有不能预备的、就分给他．因为今日是我们主的圣日．你们不要忧愁、因靠耶和华而得的喜乐是你们的力量。众民都去吃喝、也分给人、大大快乐、因为他们明白所教训他们的话。
Nehemiah, who was the governor, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites who taught the people, said to all the people, "This day is holy to Yahweh your God. Don't mourn, nor weep." For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the law. Then he said to them, "Go your way. Eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to him for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Don't be grieved; for the joy of Yahweh is your strength."
All the people went their way to eat, and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great mirth, because they had understood the words that were declared to them.
主耶稣！在耶和华的圣日，有因过去的事感到哀伤的时刻，也有为眼前的得救感恩欢庆的时刻。主啊！愿我们来到神的殿中，同样有因得罪神的事忧伤痛悔的时刻，也有因罪得赦免的感恩庆贺，因靠耶和华而得的善乐是我们的力量。

10月21日 全身敬拜

尼8:6
以斯拉称颂耶和华至大的神．众民都举手应声说、阿们、阿们、就低头、面伏于地、敬拜耶和华。
and Ezra blessed Yahweh, the great God. All the people answered, "Amen, Amen," with the lifting up of their hands. They bowed their heads, and worshiped Yahweh with their faces to the ground.
主耶稣！以斯拉称颂耶和华至大的神，众民全身敬拜是神所悦纳的。主啊！我们要恢复全身的敬拜，愿每次的敬拜，举手，服首，面伏于地，应声，阿们！阿们！成为自然的现象。

10月20日 听了能明白

尼8:2-3，5-6
七月初一日、祭司以斯拉将律法书带到听了能明白的男女会众面前。在水门前的宽阔处、从清早到晌午、在众男女一切听了能明白的人面前、读这律法书．众民侧耳而听。以斯拉站在众民以上、在众民眼前展开这书．他一展开、众民就都站起来。以斯拉称颂耶和华至大的　神．众民都举手应声说、阿们、阿们、就低头、面伏于地、敬拜耶和华。
Ezra the priest brought the law before the assembly, both men and women, and all who could hear with understanding, on the first day of the seventh month. He read therein before the broad place that was before the water gate from early morning until midday, in the presence of the men and the women, and of those who could understand; and the ears of all the people were attentive to the book of the law. Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people; (for he was above all the people;) and when he opened it, all the people stood up:
and Ezra blessed Yahweh, the great God. All the people answered, "Amen, Amen," with the lifting up of their hands. They bowed their heads, and worshiped Yahweh with their faces to the ground.
主耶稣！人常常学习，却不能明白真道。因为"没有"心"学习，主啊！我要预备心，来听神的律法，决心要遵守的，听了就能明白。

10月19日 敬畏神

尼7:1
城墙修完、我安了门扇、守门的、歌唱的、和利未人、都已派定。我就派我的弟兄哈拿尼、和营楼的宰官哈拿尼雅、管理耶路撒冷．因为哈拿尼雅是忠信的、又敬畏神过于众人。
Now it happened, when the wall was built, and I had set up the doors, and the porters and the singers and the Levites were appointed, that I put my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the governor of the castle, in charge of Jerusalem; for he was a faithful man, and feared God above many.
主耶稣！这时代高才华和能干的人有许多，然而与羔羊同得胜是蒙召被选，有忠心的主啊！帮助我专注在凡事上敬畏神，我晓得敬畏耶和华神，使我更有智慧。

10月18日 仇敌的诡计要叫我惧怕

6:2，9，14，19
参巴拉和基善就打发人来见我、说、请你来、我们在阿挪平原的一个庄村相会。他们却想害我。他们都要使我们惧怕、意思说、他们的手必软弱、以致工作不能成就。神阿、求你坚固我的手。我的神阿、多比雅、参巴拉、女先知挪亚底、和其余的先知、要叫我惧怕、求你记念他们所行的这些事。他们常在我面前说多比雅的善行、也将我的话传与他。多比雅又常寄信来、要叫我惧怕。
that Sanballat and Geshem sent to me, saying, "Come, let us meet together in the villages in the plain of Ono." But they intended to harm me. For they all would have made us afraid, saying, "Their hands will be weakened from the work, that it not be done. But now, strengthen my hands." "Remember, my God, Tobiah and Sanballat according to these their works, and also the prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets, that would have put me in fear."
Also they spoke of his good deeds before me, and reported my words to him. Tobiah sent letters to put me in fear.
主耶稣！ 尼西米看透仇敌的诡计，就是要叫他惧怕。主啊！ 我照着我所切慕所盼望的、没有一事叫我羞愧、只要凡事放胆．无论是生、是死、总叫基督在我身上照常显大。阿们！

10月17日 仆人型的蒋领

尼5:17-19
除了从四围外邦中来的犹大人以外、有犹大平民和官长、一百五十人在我席上吃饭。每日预备一只公牛、六只肥羊．又预备些飞禽、每十日一次、多预备各样的酒．虽然如此、我并不要省长的俸禄．因为百姓服役甚重。我的神阿、求你记念我为这百姓所行的一切事、施恩与我。
Moreover there were at my table, of the Jews and the rulers, one hundred fifty men, besides those who came to us from among the nations that were around us. Now that which was prepared for one day was one ox and six choice sheep; also fowls were prepared for me, and once in ten days store of all sorts of wine: yet for all this I didn't demand the bread of the governor, because the bondage was heavy on this people. Remember to me, my God, for good, all that I have done for this people.
主耶稣！尼西米以怜悯的心善待服役，以热心款待平民和官长，以忠心侍候国王，以诚心事奉耶和华神。正如祢的话，说：人子来、不是要受人的服事、乃是要服事人．并且要舍命、作多人的赎价。主啊！我愿一生为神的仆人，求祢差派我去作成天父的工。

10月16日 放下权益

尼5:14-15
自从我奉派作犹大地的省长、就是从亚达薛西王二十年、直到三十二年、共十二年之久、我与我弟兄都没有吃省长的俸禄。在我以前的省长、加重百姓的担子、每日索要粮食和酒、并银子四十舍客勒、就是他们的仆人也辖制百姓．但我因敬神、不这样行。
Moreover from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year even to the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that is, twelve years, I and my brothers have not eaten the bread of the governor. But the former governors who were before me were supported by the people, and took bread and wine from them, besides forty shekels of silver; yes, even their servants ruled over the people: but I didn't do so, because of the fear of God.
主耶稣！尼西米因敬畏神，行公义，好怜悯，存谦卑，放下权益，用自己的财务善待众人。主啊！我已经学会知足，也懂得施比受更为有福，因我晓得神给我的已经足够有余。

10月15日 心里筹画

尼5:7，10-11-12
我心里筹画、就斥责贵冑、和官长、说、你们各人向弟兄取利。于是我招聚大会攻击他们。我和我的弟兄、与仆人、也将银钱粮食借给百姓．我们大家都当免去利息。如今我劝你们将他们的田地、葡萄园、橄榄园、房屋、并向他们所取的银钱、粮食、新酒、和油、百分之一的利息都归还他们。
Then I consulted with myself, and contended with the nobles and the rulers, and said to them, "You exact usury, everyone of his brother." I held a great assembly against them.
I likewise, my brothers and my servants, lend them money and grain. Please let us stop this usury. Please restore to them, even this day, their fields, their vineyards, their olive groves, and their houses, also the hundredth part of the money, and of the grain, the new wine, and the oil, that you are charging them."
主耶稣！尼西米的智慧，心里筹画，亲自帮助受害者，朋友和家里的仆人都被感动，加入帮助者的行列。过后责备贵冑和官长，叫人无可推诿。主啊！这是我所缺乏的智慧，求祢不要不赐给我。

10月14日 我们作工

尼4:21-23
于是我们作工、一半拿兵器、从天亮直到星宿出现的时候。那时、我又对百姓说、各人和他的仆人当在耶路撒冷住宿、好在夜间保守我们、白昼作工。
这样、我和弟兄仆人、并跟从我的护兵、都不脱衣服、出去打水也带兵器。
So we worked in the work: and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning until the stars appeared. Likewise at the same time said I to the people, "Let everyone with his servant lodge within Jerusalem, that in the night they may be a guard to us, and may labor in the day." So neither I, nor my brothers, nor my servants, nor the men of the guard who followed me, none of us took off our clothes. Everyone took his weapon to the water.
主耶稣！尼西米和弟兄仆人一起作工，主啊！这是领袖都当效法的，也是我该作的。谢谢祢的教诲。

10月13日 安稳面对危机

尼4:10-11
犹大人说、灰土尚多、扛抬的人力气已经衰败、所以我们不能建造城墙。我们的敌人且说、趁他们不知、不见、我们进入他们中间、杀他们、使工作止住。
Judah said, "The strength of the bearers of burdens is fading, and there is much rubbish; so that we are not able to build the wall." Our adversaries said, "They shall not know, neither see, until we come into their midst, and kill them, and cause the work to cease."
主耶稣！尼西米面对危机，自己人传说缺乏信心的话，敌人散播使人散失信心的话，然而尼西米信神的勇气却没有减少。主啊！我们为祢作见证的信心，环境越艰难，勇气越大。求祢帮助我，使我能够成为得力传神福音的使者。

10月12日 专心靠神见神迹

尼4:6
这样、我们修造城墙、城墙就都连络、高至一半、因为百姓专心作工。
So we built the wall; and all the wall was joined together to half its height: for the people had a mind to work.
主耶稣！尼西米专心倚靠神，百姓专心作工，创造了神迹，52天完成重建城墙的大工程。主啊！我们要保守圣灵所赐合而为一的心，有同样的心思意念，爱心相同，意念相同，不发怨言，不单顾自己的事，不求自己的益处，看别人比自己强，以基督的心为心，众人必看见神在教会中显神迹。

10月11日 最后一棒

尼3:1，32
那时、大祭司以利亚实、和他的弟兄众祭司、起来建立羊门、分别为圣、安立门扇、又筑城墙到哈米亚楼、直到哈楠业楼、分别为圣。....银匠与商人在城的角楼、和羊门中间修造。
Then Eliashib the high priest rose up with his brothers the priests, and they built the sheep gate; they sanctified it, and set up its doors; even to the tower of Hammeah they sanctified it, to the tower of Hananel. Between the ascent of the corner and the sheep gate, the goldsmiths and the merchants made repairs.
主耶稣！尼西米重建城墙由祭司开始建筑，最后的工作却是由银匠与商人去完成。主啊！求祢兴起职场的门徒！教会也开始差派他们出去收割。

10月10日 领袖的典范

尼2:13-16
当夜我出了谷门、往野狗井去、到了粪厂门、察看耶路撒冷的城墙、见城墙拆毁、城门被火焚烧。我又往前、到了泉门、和王池．但所骑的牲口没有地方过去。于是夜间沿溪而上、察看城墙．又转身、进入谷门、就回来了。我往那里去、我作甚么事、官长都不知道．我还没有告诉犹大平民、祭司、贵冑、官长、和其余作工的人。
I went out by night by the valley gate, even toward the jackal's well, and to the dung gate, and viewed the walls of Jerusalem, which were broken down, and its gates were consumed with fire. Then I went on to the spring gate and to the king's pool: but there was no place for the animal that was under me to pass. Then went I up in the night by the brook, and viewed the wall; and I turned back, and entered by the valley gate, and so returned. The rulers didn't know where I went, or what I did; neither had I as yet told it to the Jews, nor to the priests, nor to the nobles, nor to the rulers, nor to the rest who did the work.
主耶稣！尼西米深夜独自一人，巡查被破坏的城墙，为重建城墙做好准备。主啊！这是教会主任牧师和领导者效法的典范。先巡查，细察，计划，后召集，鼓励，再动员。求祢赦免我们作领袖的恶习，喜爱开会，多过作事，只想担任谋士，却不敢承担责任。主啊！帮助我，每天都有能力胜过我的恶习。

10月9日 学会说合宜的话

尼2:5-7
我对王说、仆人若在王眼前蒙恩、王若喜欢、求王差遣我往犹大、到我列祖坟墓所在的那城去．我好重新建造。那时王后坐在王的旁边。王问我说、你去要多少日子、几时回来．我就定了日期．于是王喜欢差遣我去。我又对王说、王若喜欢、求王赐我诏书、通知大河西的省长、准我经过、直到犹大．
I said to the king, "If it pleases the king, and if your servant has found favor in your sight, that you would send me to Judah, to the city of my fathers' tombs, that I may build it." The king said to me (the queen was also sitting by him), "For how long shall your journey be? And when will you return?" So it pleased the king to send me; and I set him a time. Moreover I said to the king, "If it pleases the king, let letters be given me to the governors beyond the River, that they may let me pass through until I come to Judah;
主耶稣！尼西米与王对话，我看到一点，他说话合宜，我想起，箴25:11 一句话说得合宜、就如金苹果在银网子里。求圣灵教导我，帮助我去学习如何说合宜，造就，扶持，鼓励，劝戒，用爱心说诚实话。

10月8日 惧怕却不退缩

尼2:2-5
王对我说、你既没有病、为甚么面带愁容呢．这不是别的、必是你心中愁烦。于是我甚惧怕。我对王说、愿王万岁．我列祖坟墓所在的那城荒凉、城门被火焚烧、我岂能面无愁容么。王问我说、你要求甚么。于是我默祷天上的神。我对王说、仆人若在王眼前蒙恩、王若喜欢、求王差遣我往犹大、到我列祖坟墓所在的那城去．我好重新建造。
The king said to me, "Why is your face sad, since you are not sick? This is nothing else but sorrow of heart." Then I was very much afraid.
I said to the king, "Let the king live forever! Why shouldn't my face be sad, when the city, the place of my fathers' tombs, lies waste, and its gates have been consumed with fire?" Then the king said to me, "For what do you make request?" So I prayed to the God of heaven. I said to the king, "If it pleases the king, and if your servant has found favor in your sight, that you would send me to Judah, to the city of my fathers' tombs, that I may build it."
主耶稣！大卫王说：我惧怕的时候，要倚靠耶和华神，我倚靠耶和华神，就不再惧怕。主啊！怕的感觉是祢所造，不再被怕的感觉所骑劫而退缩，我知道耶和华神爱我，我不再畏惧苦难和恶人的威吓。

10月7日 为神的事劳心

尼2:1-3
亚达薛西王二十年、尼散月、在王面前摆酒、我拿起酒来奉给王。我素来在王面前没有愁容。王对我说、你既没有病、为甚么面带愁容呢．这不是别的、必是你心中愁烦。于是我甚惧怕。我对王说、愿王万岁．我列祖坟墓所在的那城荒凉、城门被火焚烧、我岂能面无愁容么。
It happened in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king, when wine was before him, that I took up the wine, and gave it to the king. Now I had not been sad before in his presence. The king said to me, "Why is your face sad, since you are not sick? This is nothing else but sorrow of heart." Then I was very much afraid. I said to the king, "Let the king live forever! Why shouldn't my face be sad, when the city, the place of my fathers' tombs, lies waste, and its gates have been consumed with fire?"
主耶稣！尼西米敬业乐业，不为人间事务忧愁，却是为神的事而心里忧伤。使徒保罗说，别人都求自己的事、并不求耶稣基督的事。主啊！深愿在职场上的信徒都学会效法尼西米和保罗，敬业乐业，却要为神的事劳心。

10月6日 暗暗作门徒都要显明

尼1:11
主阿、求你侧耳听你仆人的祈祷、和喜爱敬畏你名众仆人的祈祷、使你仆人现今亨通、在王面前蒙恩。我是作王酒政的。
Lord, I beg you, let your ear be attentive now to the prayer of your servant, and to the prayer of your servants, who delight to fear your name; and please prosper your servant this day, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man." Now I was cup bearer to the king.
主耶稣！以斯帖，尼西米，约瑟，他们的位份时机地点都是照神所设定。主啊！照祢所设定，在国家领导身边暗暗作主门徒的，这是耶和华神所定的日子，你们显明吧！靠着加添力量的主，必赐给你们足够的智慧，能向掌权者见证神的荣耀，这是耶和华的禧年。

10月5日 我家和国家都有罪了

尼1:5-6
耶和华天上的神、大而可畏的神阿、你向爱你、守你诫命的人、守约施慈爱．愿你睁眼看、侧耳听、你仆人昼夜在你面前为你众仆人以色列民的祈祷、承认我们以色列人向你所犯的罪．我与我父家都有罪了．
and said, "I beg you, Yahweh, the God of heaven, the great and awesome God, who keeps covenant and loving kindness with those who love him and keep his commandments: Let your ear now be attentive, and your eyes open, that you may listen to the prayer of your servant, which I pray before you at this time, day and night, for the children of Israel your servants while I confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against you. Yes, I and my father's house have sinned.
主耶稣！没有完全人，没有一个国家的政府是完美的，世人都犯了亏欠神荣耀的罪，无一幸免。主啊！我家和国家的领导都有罪了，在律法上有偏差，在怜悯上有疏离，我们的罪极大，让堕胎，赌博，同性婚姻合法化，流了许多无辜人的血。主啊！求祢施恩，赦免，医治我们。

你们 [基督徒] 也过<中秋节>吗？

问题一：你们基督徒也过中秋节？
基督徒：我们当然也过中秋节，我们也爱国也是中国人，中秋节是中华民族的传统节日，我们当然也要过。

问题二：你们基督徒不是只过圣诞节吗？
基督徒：圣诞节是为了纪念耶稣救主诞生，中秋、春节等传统节日更注重家人团圆，两个节日意义不同。哦，对了，圣诞节，不只属于西方，而是属于全世界。

问题三：你们基督徒也赏月吗？
基督徒：你说得没错，我们基督徒也赏月，而且更懂得赏月。因为日月星辰是上帝奇妙的创造，我们在赏月的时候，更加感觉上帝的伟大。只是我们不会去拜月，按照圣经记载，月亮不过是神创造的万物之一。月亮也不应该成为人类敬拜的对象，人类应该歌颂造月亮的主宰者，那就是上帝。如果没有神的创造，不用说月亮，连太阳也没有，太阳光更是没有，如果没有太阳光的光照，月亮的娇洁月光，又能从哪里来呢？

问题四：你们基督徒也吃月饼吗？
基督徒：当然，上帝赐下五谷杂粮，为要使全人类享用，我们基督徒也食人间烟火，当然也吃月饼了。

问题五：那你们基督徒过中秋节，更注重什么呢？
基督徒：当然是注重家人团圆。基督徒不是冷血动物，我们更注重家人和睦。
和你分享个故事吧，圣经《路加福音》中记载了一个团圆的故事，主耶稣讲了一个比喻：一个人有两个儿子。小儿子分家之后，挥霍无度，最终一无所有，小儿子不得不在外流浪，食不果腹。后来，小儿子醒悟过来，要去父亲那里去做工，求父亲待他如雇工一般。可是，父亲见到了小儿子，就动了慈心，“吩咐仆人说，把那上好的袍子快拿出来给他穿；把戒指戴在他指头上；把鞋穿在他脚上；把那肥牛犊牵来宰了，我们可以吃喝快乐；因为我这个儿子，是死而复活，失而又得的。”小儿子自认为得罪了父亲，以为父亲再不会善待他。哪知与父亲团圆后，父亲反而恩待他，给他丰富的享受。这场父子团圆的画面，常常让我们感动和感慨。通过这个故事，你会知道，我们基督徒对家人团圆是何等地看重。

问题六：这么说来，你们基督徒和其他人没有什么区别？
基督徒：还有有两点区别的。第一，我们也赏月，但不会拜月。
第二，我们注重家人团圆，但不会烧香烧纸。我们深深知道，只有神，才能赐给我们内心的平安和真正的满足，才能保守我们的脚步、意念和家庭，所以，无论在哪里，我们应该纪念造我们的主，唯一的上帝。

再一点不同就是，我们更向往那永恒的团圆。我们清楚，现实生活中的团圆，有一天我们都会失去，正如古诗所言：人有悲欢离合，月有阴晴圆缺，此事古难全。但是，将来那永远的团圆，永不废去，有一天，主必再来，我们必与我们的基督徒家人，也和新旧约里的众圣徒，在主里，团圆在新的耶路撒冷。这是主的应许，绝对必不落空！

祝大家：中秋平安喜乐、合家同心团圆。🙏

10月4日 心系神的家

尼1:2-4
那时、有我一个弟兄哈拿尼、同着几个人从犹大来．我问他们那些被掳归回剩下逃脱的犹大人、和耶路撒冷的光景。他们对我说、那些被掳归回剩下的人、在犹大省遭大难、受凌辱．并且耶路撒冷的城墙拆毁、城门被火焚烧。我听见这话、就坐下哭泣、悲哀几日．在天上的神面前禁食祈祷说、
that Hanani, one of my brothers, came, he and certain men out of Judah; and I asked them concerning the Jews who had escaped, who were left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem. They said to me, "The remnant who are left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction and reproach. The wall of Jerusalem also is broken down, and its gates are burned with fire." It happened, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days; and I fasted and prayed before the God of heaven,
主耶稣！尼西米心系耶路撒冷圣城，经询问得知圣城的光景，就悲哀，禁食祈祷。主啊！愿信徒都能够立动关心神的家，晓得教会的光景，并且晓得先献上忧伤痛悔的心，认同性的认罪悔改，求神施恩，与领袖和众人齐心建造神荣耀的教会。

10月3日 点燃复兴的火

拉10:1
以斯拉祷告、认罪、哭泣、俯伏在神殿前的时候、有以色列中的男女孩童、聚集到以斯拉那里、成了大会．众民无不痛哭。
Now while Ezra prayed and made confession, weeping and casting himself down before God's house, there was gathered together to him out of Israel a very great assembly of men and women and children; for the people wept very bitterly.
主耶稣！以斯拉因为以色列民得罪神感到悲痛，以认同性的祷告向神认罪，百姓聚集向神认罪，成了大会。主啊！是的，唯有认罪，哭泣，俯伏在神面前的心火才能点燃复兴的火。

10月2日 因得罪神惊惧忧闷

拉9:2-4
因他们为自己和儿子、娶了这些外邦女子为妻、以致圣洁的种类和这些国的民混杂．而且首领和官长、在这事上为罪魁。我一听见这事、就撕裂衣服和外袍、拔了头发和胡须、惊惧忧闷而坐。 凡为以色列神言语战兢的、都因这被掳归回之人所犯的罪、聚集到我这里来．我就惊惧忧闷而坐、直到献晚祭的时候。
For they have taken of their daughters for themselves and for their sons, so that the holy seed have mixed themselves with the peoples of the lands. Yes, the hand of the princes and rulers has been chief in this trespass." When I heard this thing, I tore my garment and my robe, and plucked off the hair of my head and of my beard, and sat down confounded. Then were assembled to me everyone who trembled at the words of the God of Israel, because of their trespass of the captivity; and I sat confounded until the evening offering.
主耶稣！以斯拉听见以色列的首领和官长带头得罪神，而惊惧忧闷。这样的心灵感触正是我们所缺乏的。主啊！求祢恢复教会的讲台，兴起敬畏神，爱羊群的牧师，传讲神全备的福音，叫在罪中生活的信徒，听道时因得罪神扎心而悔改。

10月1日 严谨看待属神的事

拉8:28-29
我对他们说、你们归耶和华为圣、器皿也为圣、金银是甘心献给耶和华你们列祖之神的．你们当儆醒看守、直到你们在耶路撒冷耶和华殿的库内、在祭司长和利未族长、并以色列的各族长面前过了秤。
I said to them, "You are holy to Yahweh, and the vessels are holy; and the silver and the gold are a freewill offering to Yahweh, the God of your fathers. Watch, and keep them, until you weigh them before the chiefs of the priests and the Levites, and the princes of the fathers' households of Israel, at Jerusalem, in the rooms of the house of Yahweh."
主耶稣！两种标准，两种法码，是耶和华神所憎恶的。主啊！许多时候，我们对属人属地的事，很执着，认真，严谨，但是，对属神属天的事却显得相对的散漫，随意，不专业，不尊重。求主赦免，帮助我在接下来的日子，严谨看待属神的事。

9月30日 在神面前克苦己心

拉8:21-23
那时我在亚哈瓦河边宣告禁食、为要在我们神面前克苦己心、求他使我们和妇人孩子、并一切所有的、都得平坦的道路。我求王拨步兵马兵、帮助我们抵挡路上的仇敌、本以为羞耻、因我曾对王说、我们神施恩的手、必帮助一切寻求他的．但他的能力和忿怒、必攻击一切离弃他的。所以我们禁食祈求我们的神、他就应允了我们。
Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek of him a straight way for us, and for our little ones, and for all our substance. For I was ashamed to ask of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way, because we had spoken to the king, saying, "The hand of our God is on all those who seek him, for good; but his power and his wrath is against all those who forsake him." So we fasted and begged our God for this: and he was entreated of us.
主耶稣！以斯拉带领百姓禁食祈求神，承认自身信心的不足。主啊！我们禁食不是借用苦行要博取神的怜惜，乃是在神面前克苦己心，叫身服我，全心归主，全然仰望，倚靠，等等候神的帮助。

9月29日 通达人

拉8:18
蒙我们神施恩的手帮助我们、他们在以色列的曾孙、利未的孙子、抹利的后裔中、带一个通达人来．还有示利比、和他的众子、与弟兄、共一十八人。
According to the good hand of our God on us they brought us a man of discretion, of the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel; and Sherebiah, with his sons and his brothers, eighteen。
主耶稣！在这里只提带一个通达人，没有提他的名字。主啊！无论在什么时候，我有没有被人提名，已经不再影响我的情绪，我所在乎的是生命册上，神点名的时刻，我的名字在其中。

9月28日 感恩，称颂神的醒觉

拉7:27-28
以斯拉说、耶和华我们列祖的神是应当称颂的、因他使王起这心意、修饰耶路撒冷耶和华的殿．又在王和谋士、并大能的军长面前施恩于我。因耶和华我神的手帮助我、我就得以坚强、从以色列中招聚首领、与我一同上来。
Blessed be Yahweh, the God of our fathers, who has put such a thing as this in the king's heart, to beautify the house of Yahweh which is in Jerusalem; and has extended loving kindness to me before the king, and his counselors, and before all the king's mighty princes. I was strengthened according to the hand of Yahweh my God on me, and I gathered together out of Israel chief men to go up with me.
主耶稣！以斯拉看见一切尽都亨通，便及时称颂神，并向众人感恩。主啊！求祢使我灵苏醒，使我拥有向人感恩，向神称颂的醒觉。

9月27日 教训一切不明白神律法的人

拉7:25-26
以斯拉阿、要照着你神赐你的智慧、将所有明白你神律法的人立为士师、审判官、治理河西的百姓、使他们教训一切不明白神律法的人。凡不遵行你神律法、和王命令的人、就当速速定他的罪、或治死、或充军、或抄家、或囚禁。
You, Ezra, after the wisdom of your God who is in your hand, appoint magistrates and judges, who may judge all the people who are beyond the River, all such as know the laws of your God; and teach him who doesn't know them.
Whoever will not do the law of your God, and the law of the king, let judgment be executed on him with all diligence, whether it be to death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of goods, or to imprisonment.
主耶稣！王授权给以斯拉立士师，审判官和治理者，去教训一切不明白神律法的人。主啊！兴起更多像以斯拉的门徒，参与国家的治理，教育，法律，教训一切不明白神律法的人，包括基督徒和未认识祢的人，叫神的国度降临。

9月26日 蒙神喜悦的人

拉7:10-11，21
以斯拉定志考究遵行耶和华的律法、又将律例典章教训以色列人。祭司以斯拉是通达耶和华诫命、和赐以色列之律例的文士．亚达薛西王赐给他谕旨，上面写着说、我亚达薛西王、又降旨与河西的一切库官、说、通达天上神律法的文士祭司以斯拉、无论向你们要甚么、你们要速速的备办．
For Ezra had set his heart to seek the law of Yahweh, and to do it, and to teach in Israel statutes and ordinances. Now this is the copy of the letter that the king Artaxerxes gave to Ezra the priest, the scribe, even the scribe of the words of the commandments of Yahweh, and of his statutes to Israel: I, even I Artaxerxes the king, do make a decree to all the treasurers who are beyond the River, that whatever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, shall require of you, it be done with all diligence,
主耶稣！以斯拉定志考究，又教训以色列人遵行耶和华神的律法，蒙神喜悦，得王的恩宠，得人的帮助。主啊！我立定志向，要通达耶和华的诫命，达到爱神爱人，得神与人的恩宠，行神的旨意。

荷花定律

同一个地点，一只蜗牛每天向前进步0.01，一只蜗牛每天向后倒退0.01，试问一年后，它们相距多远？

你肯定会说，才向前进了0.01，最后还不一样。

事实上呢？

一年的光阴，努力一点点取得的成就为37.8，退步一点点的成绩为0.03，努力是退步的1260倍！

如果你想运动，第一天可以散步800米，第二天可以散步1500米，第三天可以跑步1000米，第四天可以跑步2000千米......

所谓的改变，并不是一口吃个胖子。

有个著名的“一万小时定律”：

如果你在一个领域，坚持做一件事达到了10000个小时，那么你将成为这个领域的专家。

最近，一则“胖男自拍1年减重136公斤过程”的超励志视频，在网络和朋友圈流传甚广。

因为肥胖问题已严重影响到工作和生活，为了“不想再做一个不健康的胖子”，为了“不想再去大尺码服饰店买特制的裤子”，也为了证明自己，在40岁生日这天，这位260公斤的“胖子”立志要扭转自己的人生。

接下来，他便跟着教学视频开始锻炼。

第1天，并无成效；

第2天，累的瘫倒在椅子上；

第3天，上气不接下气，几乎要晕倒；

第4天……第5天……第6天……

第390天，他成功了！

而且谁都没想到，每天努力一点进步一点，他整整坚持了1年3个月。

当初那个连抬腿都困难的胖子，现在变得帅气、精神、神采奕奕。

就像男子所说：

我明白我虽然无法做到影片中的每个动作，但我已经迈出了很不简单的一步。有些人觉得这样很蠢，但你不试试怎么知道呢？

无论路途有多遥远，都是从第一步开始。

一个荷花池，第一天荷花开放的很少，第二天开放的数量是第一天的两倍，之后的每一天，荷花都会以前一天两倍的数量开放。

如果到第30天，荷花就开满了整个池塘，那么请问：在第几天池塘中的荷花开了一半？

第15天？

错！是第29天。

这就是著名的荷花定律，也叫30天定律。

很多人的一生就像池塘里的荷花，一开始用力地开，玩命地开......

但渐渐的，你开始感到枯燥甚至是厌烦，你可能在第9天、第19天甚至第29天的时候放弃了坚持。

这时，往往离成功只有一步之遥。

荷花定律告诉我们这样一个道理：

拼到最后，拼的不是运气和聪明，而是毅力。

人生前期越嫌麻烦，越懒得学，后来就越可能错过让你动心的人和事，错过新风景。

一辈子太长，一秒钟太短，30天不长不短刚刚好。

共勉！！

9月25日 神帮助的手

拉7:6
这以斯拉从巴比伦上来、他是敏捷的文士、通达耶和华以色列神所赐摩西的律法书．王允准他一切所求的、是因耶和华他神的手帮助他。
this Ezra went up from Babylon: and he was a ready scribe in the law of Moses, which Yahweh, the God of Israel, had given; and the king granted him all his request, according to the hand of Yahweh his God on him.
主耶稣！以斯拉因看重耶和华神的律法，耶和华神的手帮助他在王面前蒙恩。主啊！我喜悦你的法度，如同喜悦一切的财物。愿耶和华神按手在我身上，神帮助我的手常与我同在。

9月24日 亚述王的心转向他们

拉6:20-22
原来祭司和利未人、一同自洁、无一人不洁净．利未人为被掳归回的众人和他们的弟兄众祭司、并为自己宰逾越节的羊羔。从掳到之地归回的以色列人、和一切除掉所染外邦人污秽归附他们、要寻求耶和华以色列神的人、都吃这羊羔。 欢欢喜喜地守除酵节七日、因为耶和华使他们欢喜、又使亚述王的心转向他们、坚固他们的手、作以色列神殿的工程。
For the priests and the Levites had purified themselves together; all of them were pure: and they killed the Passover for all the children of the captivity, and for their brothers the priests, and for themselves. The children of Israel who had come again out of the captivity, and all such as had separated themselves to them from the filthiness of the nations of the land, to seek Yahweh, the God of Israel, ate,
and kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy: for Yahweh had made them joyful, and had turned the heart of the king of Assyria to them, to strengthen their hands in the work of God's house, the God of Israel.
主耶稣！王的心在耶和华手中，好象陇沟的水，随意流转。主啊！列国的领导人的心都在神手中，父啊！祢的旨意行在地上如同行在天上。

9月23日 先知说劝勉的话

拉5:1-2
那时先知哈该、和易多的孙子撒迦利亚、奉以色列神的名、向犹大和耶路撒冷的犹大人、说劝勉的话。于是撒拉铁的儿子所罗巴伯、和约萨达的儿子耶书亚、都起来动手建造耶路撒冷神的殿、有　神的先知在那里帮助他们。
Now the prophets, Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophesied to the Jews who were in Judah and Jerusalem; in the name of the God of Israel they prophesied to them. Then rose up Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and began to build God's house which is at Jerusalem; and with them were the prophets of God, helping them.
主耶稣！因着恶人的话，以色列民建殿停工，两年后因先知说劝勉的话，百姓重"心"得力，重新启动，建造圣殿。主啊！求圣灵运行，膏抹所拣选的先知，向神的子民说劝勉，激励的话，感动神的子民起来，带着勇气，建立主的教会。

9月22日 辨明真伪的通察力

拉4:1-3
犹大和便雅悯的敌人听说、被掳归回的人为耶和华以色列的神建造殿宇、就去见所罗巴伯、和以色列的族长、对他们说、请容我们与你们一同建造、因为我们寻求你们的神、与你们一样．自从亚述王以撒哈顿带我们上这地以来、我们常祭给神。但所罗巴伯、耶书亚、和其余以色列的族长、对他们说、我们建造神的殿与你们无干、我们自己为耶和华以色列的神协力建造、是照波斯王古列所吩咐的
Now when the adversaries of Judah and Benjamin heard that the children of the captivity were building a temple to Yahweh, the God of Israel; then they drew near to Zerubbabel, and to the heads of fathers' households, and said to them, "Let us build with you; for we seek your God, as you do; and we sacrifice to him since the days of Esar Haddon king of Assyria, who brought us up here." But Zerubbabel, and Jeshua, and the rest of the heads of fathers' households of Israel, said to them, "You have nothing to do with us in building a house to our God; but we ourselves together will build to Yahweh, the God of Israel, as king Cyrus the king of Persia has commanded us."
主耶稣！祢提醒我们应当要防备披着羊皮的狼，有假教师，假先知，假寡妇，假信徒．主啊！我渴慕有辨明虚假，真伪的通察力。

9月21日 万国万民来欢呼喜乐

拉3:10-11
匠人立耶和华殿根基的时候、祭司皆穿礼服吹号、亚萨的子孙利未人敲钹、照以色列王大卫所定的例、都站着赞美耶和华。他们彼此唱和、赞美称谢耶和华、说、他本为善、他向以色列人永发慈爱．他们赞美耶和华的时候、众民大声呼喊、因耶和华殿的根基已经立定．
When the builders laid the foundation of Yahweh's temple, they set the priests in their clothing with trumpets, with the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise Yahweh, according to the directions of David king of Israel. They sang to one another in praising and giving thanks to Yahweh, "For he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever toward Israel." All the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised Yahweh, because the foundation of the house of Yahweh had been laid.
主耶稣！圣殿的根基立定，百姓大声呼喊，喜极而泣。主啊！祢已完成救赎的工程，神的救恩已经立定，万民啊！你们都要欢呼喜乐，都当站着赞美耶和华，要口称耶稣基督是主，将荣耀，颂赞归于神。

9月20日 当献与常献的甘心祭

拉3:4-5
又照律法书上所写的、守住棚节．按数照例、献每日所当献的燔祭。其后献常献的燔祭、并在月朔与耶和华的一切圣节献祭、又向耶和华献各人的甘心祭。
They kept the feast of tents, as it is written, and offered the daily burnt offerings by number, according to the ordinance, as the duty of every day required; and afterward the continual burnt offering, the offerings of the new moons, of all the set feasts of Yahweh that were consecrated, and of everyone who willingly offered a freewill offering to Yahweh.
主耶稣！以斯拉对献祭有深厚的认识，有每天当献的，有照节期，按数目照例的。主啊！我要天天献上甘心祭，献上敬拜赞美的祭，当纳的十分之一，行公义，好怜悯的祭，把身体献上当作活祭，过讨神悦纳的生活作息，荣耀耶和华神。

9月19日 如同一人

拉3:1,6
到了七月、以色列人住在各城、那时他们如同一人、聚集在耶路撒冷。.. 从七月初一日起、他们就向耶和华献燔祭．但耶和华殿的根基、尚未立定。
When the seventh month had come, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem. From the first day of the seventh month, they began to offer burnt offerings to Yahweh; but the foundation of Yahweh's temple was not yet laid.
主耶稣！感谢祢在十字架上灭了冤仇、便藉这十字架、使两下归为一体、将两下合而为一，拆毁中间隔断的墙．与神和好了．主啊！我们民既与神联合，就如同一人，爱心相同，意念相同，有一样的心思，一样的意念，全心爱主，兴旺福音。

9月18日 被神激动的人

拉1:5
于是犹大和便雅悯的族长、祭司利未人、就是一切被神激动他心的人、都起来要上耶路撒冷去建造耶和华的殿。
Then the heads of fathers' households of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, even all whose spirit God had stirred to go up rose up to build the house of Yahweh which is in Jerusalem.
主耶稣！耶和华神为要应验所说的话，就激动所要的人选。必有余剩的民、从耶路撒冷而出、必有逃脱的人、从锡安山而来．万军之耶和华的热心必成就这事。主啊！激动古列王，先知耶利米，以斯拉的灵，也激动了使徒保罗和众圣徒起来传福音。求圣灵现在也来激动我，我要起来！与众圣徒齐心建造主的殿。

9月17日 列国要成为以色列的祝福

代下36:22-23
波斯王古列元年、耶和华为要应验藉耶利米口所说的话、就激动波斯王古列的心、使他下诏通告全国、说、波斯王古列如此说、耶和华天上的神、已将天下万国赐给我、又嘱咐我在犹大的耶路撒冷为他建造殿宇．你们中间凡作他子民的、可以上去、愿耶和华他的神与他同在。
Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of Yahweh by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, Yahweh stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,
"Thus says Cyrus king of Persia, 'Yahweh, the God of heaven, has given all the kingdoms of the earth to me; and he has commanded me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever there is among you of all his people, Yahweh his God be with him, and let him go up.'"
主耶稣！耶和华神要成就的事，要使用谁就用谁。主啊！求祢的灵大大的运行在全地上，吩咐列国的统治者成为以色列国的祝福。

9月16日 强项硬心，无法可救！

代下36:12-14
行耶和华他神眼中看为恶的事．先知耶利米以耶和华的话劝他、他仍不在耶利米面前自卑。尼布甲尼撒曾使他指着神起誓、他却背叛．强项硬心、不归服耶和华以色列的神。耶和华他们列祖的神因为爱惜自己的民、和他的居所、从早起来差遣使者去警戒他们。他们却嘻笑神的使者、藐视他的言语、讥诮他的先知、以致耶和华的忿怒向他的百姓发作、无法可救。
and he did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh his God; he didn't humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet speaking from the mouth of Yahweh. He also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart against turning to Yahweh, the God of Israel. Yahweh, the God of their fathers, sent to them by his messengers, rising up early and sending, because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling place: but they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and scoffed at his prophets, until the wrath of Yahweh arose against his people, until there was no remedy.
主耶稣！眼前多国的光景，好像当年希底家王的时代，蔑视耶稣的真理，嘻笑先知的警戒，藐视使徒的教训。已经到无法可救的地步。主啊，祢再来的日子近了！

9月15日 自作主张，自取灭亡

代下35:20-23
这事以后、约西亚修完了殿、有埃及王尼哥上来、要攻击靠近伯拉河的迦基米施．约西亚出去抵挡他。他差遣使者来见约西亚说、犹大王阿、我与你何干、我今日来不是要攻击你、乃是要攻击与我争战之家、并且神吩咐我速行、你不要干预神的事、免得他毁灭你、因为神是与我同在。约西亚却不肯转去离开他、改装要与他打仗、不听从神藉尼哥之口所说的话、便来到米吉多平原争战。
After all this, when Josiah had prepared the temple, Neco king of Egypt went up to fight against Carchemish by the Euphrates: and Josiah went out against him. But he sent ambassadors to him, saying, "What have I to do with you, you king of Judah? I come not against you this day, but against the house with which I have war. God has commanded me to make haste. Beware that it is God who is with me, that he not destroy you." Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself, that he might fight with him, and didn't listen to the words of Neco from the mouth of God, and came to fight in the valley of Megiddo.
主耶稣！约西亚王自作主张，自求灭亡。主啊！我也有自作主张的思维，求主管教我，不要任凭我，以至灭亡。

我们快要进入犹太历的5778年

9月14日 不至亲眼看见大灾祸

代下34:26-28
然而差遣你们来求问耶和华的犹大王、你们要这样回复他说、耶和华以色列的神如此说、至于你所听见的话、就是听见我指着这地和其上居民所说的话、你便心里敬服、在我面前自卑、撕裂衣服、向我哭泣、因此我应允了你．这是我耶和华说的。我必使你平平安安地归到坟墓、到你列祖那里、我要降与这地和其上居民的一切灾祸、你也不至亲眼看见．他们就回复王去了。
But to the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of Yahweh, thus you shall tell him, 'Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel: "As touching the words which you have heard,
because your heart was tender, and you humbled yourself before God, when you heard his words against this place, and against its inhabitants, and have humbled yourself before me, and have torn your clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard you," says Yahweh."Behold, I will gather you to your fathers, and you shall be gathered to your grave in peace, neither shall your eyes see all the evil that I will bring on this place, and on its inhabitants."'" They brought back word to the king.
主耶稣！因约西王带领以色列民谦卑悔改，那一代的子民免受大灾祸苦难。主啊！我向神祈求，怜悯孩子祖国的领导，有祢 主耶稣基督的默示，晓得末日的大灾祸，带领国民向神自卑祷告，不至亲眼看见大灾祸。

9月13日 教导年幼学习敬畏神的智慧

代下34:1-3
约西亚登基的时候、年八岁、在耶路撒冷作王三十一年。他行耶和华眼中看为正的事、效法他祖大卫所行的、不偏左右。他作王第八年、尚且年幼、就寻求他祖大卫的神．到了十二年、才洁净犹大和耶路撒冷、除掉丘坛、木偶、雕刻的像、和铸造的像。
Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign; and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem. He did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, and walked in the ways of David his father, and didn't turn aside to the right hand or to the left. For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet young, he began to seek after the God of David his father; and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, and the Asherim, and the engraved images, and the molten images.
主耶稣！年幼的约西亚王因蒙受敬虔人的教诲，全国都蒙福。主啊！求祢恩上加恩的恩典加在我家后裔子孙身上，好叫他们也可以得着敬畏耶和华神的老师的教诲，在年幼开始学会敬畏神，寻求耶和华神的智慧。

9月12日 父亲醒过来！

代下33:21-23
亚们登基的时候、年二十二岁、在耶路撒冷作王二年。他行耶和华眼中看为恶的事、效法他父玛拿西所行的、祭祀事奉他父玛拿西所雕刻的偶像。不在耶和华面前像他父玛拿西自卑．这亚们所犯的罪、越犯越大。
Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, as did Manasseh his father; and Amon sacrificed to all the engraved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them. He didn't humble himself before Yahweh, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but this same Amon trespassed more and more.
主耶稣！玛拿西在急难中领悟，知罪，自卑，儿子并未在其中学习。主啊！求祢的灵运行在每一个作父亲的身上，叫父亲醒过来，以身作则，把生命中最重要的智慧传递给儿女，要心存谦卑，行公义，好怜悯，与神同行。

9月11日 悔改时机的恩典

代下33:9-12
玛拿西引诱犹大和耶路撒冷的居民、以致他们行恶比耶和华在以色列人面前所灭的列国更甚。耶和华警戒玛拿西和他的百姓、他们却是不听。所以耶和华使亚述王的将帅来攻击他们、用铙钩钩住玛拿西、用铜炼锁住他、带到巴比伦去。他在急难的时候、就恳求耶和华他的神、且在他列祖的神面前极其自卑。
Manasseh seduced Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that they did more evil than the nations whom Yahweh destroyed before the children of Israel did. Yahweh spoke to Manasseh, and to his people; but they gave no heed. Therefore Yahweh brought on them the captains of the army of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh in chains, and bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon. When he was in distress, he begged Yahweh his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers.
主耶稣！苦难临到玛拿西王，他即时自卑回转归向神。主啊！求圣灵光照在苦难中的信徒，有苦难是来自过犯的，求主赐悔改时机的恩典，在急难中能够及时自卑，决心回转，虚心恳求神赦免。

9月10日 死的时候！

代下32:33
希西家与他列祖同睡、葬在大卫子孙的高陵上．他死的时候．犹大人和耶路撒冷的居民、都尊敬他．他儿子玛拿西接续他作王。
Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the ascent of the tombs of the sons of David: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honor at his death. Manasseh his son reigned in his place.
主耶稣！希西家王死的时候，众人都尊敬他。主啊！我死的时候，家人会有何心态呢？我传承了那些对家人有益无害的价值观？我有那些造成家人关系被破坏的痛苦？亲友会因我的为人认识阿爸天父吗？圣灵啊！启示我，我还活着的时候，赶紧把对的事做对他，当我死的时候才会被家人尊敬。

清晨的祷告！

慈爱的天父！清晨是一天最好的时光，也是我们灵修最好的时刻。我们只有与你相交，沉溺在爱里，属灵的生命才有长进。我们需要你！我们真的需要你爱的启迪，需要真智慧，需要真知识，需要你给我们信心和力量，需要你的帮助和托起，需要你的保守和看顾等等。求你让我们在基督里，建立良人属我，我属良人的关系，愿你的爱吸引我，我就快跑的跟随你。求主让我们时时隐藏在你翅膀荫下，欢喜快乐的走好每一天。奉耶稣的名祷告！阿们！

9月9日 神要看人的内心

代下32:30-31
这希西家也塞住基训的上源、引水直下、流在大卫城的西边．希西家所行的事、尽都亨通。惟有一件事、就是巴比伦王差遣使者来见希西家、访问国中所现的奇事、这件事神离开他、要试验他、好知道他心内如何。
This same Hezekiah also stopped the upper spring of the waters of Gihon, and brought them straight down on the west side of the city of David. Hezekiah prospered in all his works.
However concerning the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent to him to inquire of the wonder that was done in the land, God left him, to try him, that he might know all that was in his heart.
主耶稣！希西家王被列王追捧，得意忘形，忘主。
主啊！我看到这时代曾经被神所重用的仆人，政治家，企业家，布道家，神学家，牧师，因出了名，忘了主！主啊！保守我的心，谦虚谨慎，心存真诚的谦卑，凡事谢主恩，凡事尊荣同工同事同人。主啊！祢若愿意，我仍存留！

9月8日 骄傲自满后患无穷

代下32:23,25
有许多人到耶路撒冷、将供物献与耶和华、又将宝物送给犹大王希西家．此后、希西家在列邦人的眼中看为尊大。希西家却没有照他所蒙的恩、报答耶和华、因他心里骄傲、所以忿怒要临到他和犹大并耶路撒冷。
Many brought gifts to Yahweh to Jerusalem, and precious things to Hezekiah king of Judah; so that he was exalted in the sight of all nations from thenceforth. But Hezekiah didn't render again according to the benefit done to him; for his heart was lifted up: therefore there was wrath on him, and on Judah and Jerusalem.
主耶稣！希西家王心里骄傲，让撒旦有机可乘，身患绝症，民受损，虽然认罪，却为骄傲付出惨重的代价。主啊！求圣灵不断光照我内心，使我更认识心中隐藏的骄傲，赐我足够的决心杜绝骄傲的心思，也求主启示我效法耶稣虚己的智慧，并且竭尽全力朝向凡事谦卑。

9月7日 勇敢大胆说信心的话

代下32:6-8
设立军长管理百姓、将他们招聚在城门的宽阔处、用话勉励他们、说、你们当刚强壮胆、不要因亚述王和跟随他的大军恐惧、惊慌、因为与我们同在的、比与他们同在的更大． 与他们同在的是肉臂、与我们同在的是耶和华我们的神、他必帮助我们、为我们争战．百姓就靠犹大王希西家的话、安然无惧了。
He set captains of war over the people, and gathered them together to him in the broad place at the gate of the city, and spoke comfortably to them, saying, "Be strong and courageous, don't be afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude who is with him; for there is a greater with us than with him. With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is Yahweh our God to help us, and to fight our battles." The people rested themselves on the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.
主耶稣！希西家王因信说话，百姓因此安然无惧。主啊！求祢赦免我对神的应许怀疑说了不信的话，对神的话迟疑说小信的话。我要刚强壮胆，坚信神的信实，勇敢大胆说信心的话。

9月6日 为善为正为忠的事

代下31:20-21
希西家在犹大遍地这样办理、行耶和华他神眼中看为善为正为忠的事。凡他所行的、无论是办神殿的事、是遵律法守诫命、是寻求他的神、都是尽心去行、无不亨通。
Hezekiah did so throughout all Judah; and he worked that which was good and right and faithful before Yahweh his God. In every work that he began in the service of God's house, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart, and prospered.
主耶稣！希西家王办理国事，办圣殿的事，遵循神诫命的事，寻求神的面，都尽心尽力去行。主啊！
我把所要做的事，与祢对齐，做祢认为对的事，并且把对的事做对。为善是好事，为正是把好事做对，为忠是向祢尽责。被祢称赞：忠心良善的仆人，是我所要的成功。

9月5日 耶和华赐福

代下31:9-10
希西家向祭司利未人查问这堆垒。撒督家的大祭司亚撒利雅、回答说、自从民将供物送到耶和华殿以来、我们不但吃饱、且剩下的甚多、因为耶和华赐福给他的民．所剩下的才这样丰盛。
Then Hezekiah questioned the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps. Azariah the chief priest, of the house of Zadok, answered him and said, "Since people began to bring the offerings into the house of Yahweh, we have eaten and had enough, and have left plenty: for Yahweh has blessed his people; and that which is left is this great store."
主耶稣！因为希西家王和祭司带领以色列民敬畏耶和华神，行他眼中看为正的事，神丰富的祝福倾倒在民间。主啊！神是赐福，赐平安给世人。我要常常数算神在我身上的祝福。

9月3日 祭司起来！为民祝福

代下30:27
那时、祭司利未人起来、为民祝福．他们的声音、蒙神垂听、他们的祷告、达到天上的圣所。
Then the priests the Levites arose and blessed the people: and their voice was heard, and their prayer came up to his holy habitation, even to heaven.
主耶稣！我们是被拣选的族类、是君尊的祭司、是圣洁的国度、是属神的子民。主啊！我们身为祭司，是起来为国民祝福的时刻，并向他们宣扬那召我们出黑暗入奇妙光明者的美德，求神垂听。

9月2日 耶和华满有恩典

代下30:17-20
会中有许多人尚未自洁、所以利未人为一切不洁之人宰逾越节的羊羔、使他们在耶和华面前成为圣洁。以法莲、玛拿西、以萨迦、西布伦、有许多人尚未自洁、他们却也吃逾越节的羊羔、不合所记录的定例．希西家为他们祷告、说、凡专心寻求　神、就是耶和华他列祖之神的、虽不照着圣所洁净之礼自洁、求至善的耶和华也饶恕他。耶和华垂听希西家的祷告、就饶恕〔原文作医治〕百姓。
For there were many in the assembly who had not sanctified themselves: therefore the Levites were in charge of killing the Passovers for everyone who was not clean, to sanctify them to Yahweh. For a multitude of the people, even many of Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet they ate the Passover otherwise than it is written. For Hezekiah had prayed for them, saying, "May the good Yahweh pardon everyone who sets his heart to seek God, Yahweh, the God of his fathers, even if they aren't clean according to the purification of the sanctuary." Yahweh listened to Hezekiah, and healed the people.
主耶稣！我明白了，凡专心寻求耶和华神的，虽然仍不完全，若有敬畏神的为他们向神求饶恕，耶和华神也会垂听。主啊！耶和华神满有恩典，不轻易发怒，凡是诚心祈求的，必蒙怜惜，罪得赦免。主啊！是祢使我们得以完全。

9月1日 传遍全地

代下30:10
驿卒就由这城跑到那城、传遍了以法莲、玛拿西、直到西布伦．那里的人却戏笑他们、讥诮他们。然而亚设、玛拿西、西布伦中、也有人自卑、来到耶路撒冷。
So the couriers passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh, even to Zebulun: but they ridiculed them, and mocked them. Nevertheless certain men of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem.
主耶稣！有人传基督出于爱心，也有出于结党，不诚实。使徒保罗说：这有何妨呢．或是假意、或是真心、无论怎样、基督究竟被传开了．为此我就欢喜、并且还要欢喜。主啊！愿基督被传遍全地时我也参与在其中，我传基督出于爱心，叫人得益处，叫神得荣耀，叫基督得喜悦。

8月31日 诚心自洁

代下29:34
但祭司太少、不能剥尽燔祭牲的皮、所以他们的弟兄利未人帮助他们、直等燔祭的事完了、又等别的祭司自洁了、因为利未人诚心自洁、胜过祭司。
But the priests were too few, so that they could not flay all the burnt offerings: therefore their brothers the Levites helped them, until the work was ended, and until the priests had sanctified themselves; for the Levites were more upright in heart to sanctify themselves than the priests.
主耶稣！人若自洁，脱离卑贱的事，就必作贵重的器皿，成为圣洁，合乎主用，预备行各样的善事。祭司太少，利未代职。主啊！牧师太少，庄家熟透，求祢兴起信徒，诚心自洁，甘心为作主门徒，奋起代职，也算我一份，直到见主面。

8月30日 敬虔的母亲

代下29:1-2，4-5
希西家登基的时候、年二十五岁、在耶路撒冷作王二十九年．他母亲名叫亚比雅、是撒迦利雅的女儿。希西家行耶和华眼中看为正的事、效法他祖大卫一切所行的。他召众祭司和利未人来、聚集在东边的宽阔处、对他们说、利未人哪、当听我说、现在你们要洁净自己、又洁净耶和华你们列祖神的殿、从圣所中除去污秽之物。
Hezekiah began to reign when he was twenty-five years old; and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah. He did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, according to all that David his father had done.
He brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered them together into the broad place on the east, and said to them, "Listen to me, you Levites! Now sanctify yourselves, and sanctify the house of Yahweh, the God of your fathers, and carry out the filthiness out of the holy place.
主耶稣！亚哈斯王不敬畏神，但，因王后亚比雅在耶和华神面前的敬虔，养育了希西家王行神眼中看为正的事。主啊！求祢赐智慧给敬畏神的母亲，赐苏醒的灵给不敬畏神的父亲，赐受教的心给每一个作儿女的。

8月29日 传承敬畏神的信念

代下28:1-3
亚哈斯登基的时候、年二十岁、在耶路撒冷作王十六年．不像他祖大卫行耶和华眼中看为正的事，却行以色列诸王的道、又铸造巴力的像．并且在欣嫩子谷烧香、用火焚烧他的儿女、行耶和华在以色列人面前所驱逐的外邦人那可憎的事．
Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and he didn't do that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, like David his father;but he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made also molten images for the Baals. Moreover he burnt incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and burnt his children in the fire, according to the abominations of the nations whom Yahweh cast out before the children of Israel.
主耶稣！约坦王传承王位，却忽略了要传承最重要，最珍贵的，就是敬畏神的信念。主啊！圣经都是　神所默示的，于教训，督责，使人归正，教导人学义，都是有益的。如今，我得到了启示，要专心竭力传承敬畏神的信念给下一代。

8月28日 神使我强盛

代下27:6
约坦在耶和华他神面前行正道、以致日渐强盛。
So Jotham became mighty, because he ordered his ways before Yahweh his God.
主耶稣！耶和华神已经将他的训诲吩咐我们，为要我们殷勤遵循，凡遵行的便为有福。主啊！有人靠强者而强盛，然而，我靠的是祢， 我看重你的一切命令、就不至于羞愧。我且要在神的面前行正道，神必使我强盛，我也不再畏惧强敌的威吓，可以放胆见证主的名。

8月27日 神阻挡骄傲的人

代下26:16-18
他既强盛、就心高气傲、以致行事邪僻、干犯耶和华他的神、进耶和华的殿、要在香坛上烧香。祭司亚撒利雅率领耶和华勇敢的祭司八十人、跟随他进去。他们就阻挡乌西雅王、对他说、乌西雅阿、给耶和华烧香不是你的事、乃是亚伦子孙承接圣职祭司的事．你出圣殿吧、因为你犯了罪．你行这事耶和华神必不使你得荣耀。
But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up, so that he did corruptly, and he trespassed against Yahweh his God; for he went into Yahweh's temple to burn incense on the altar of incense. Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him eighty priests of Yahweh, who were valiant men: and they resisted Uzziah the king, and said to him, "It isn't for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to Yahweh, but for the priests the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated to burn incense. Go out of the sanctuary; for you have trespassed; neither shall it be for your honor from Yahweh God."
主耶稣！神和人的相助使乌西雅王强盛，但是，他却将强盛归功于自己，还要夺取祭司的权证。主啊！有时候，我也犯了乌西雅王骄傲自满的思想，想夺取他人的权证，我需要更加谦卑，因为神阻挡骄傲的人，赐恩给谦卑的人。

8月26日 定意寻求神

代下26:5
通晓神默示撒迦利亚在世的时候、乌西雅定意寻求神、他寻求耶和华、神就使他亨通。
He set himself to seek God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the vision of God: and as long as he sought Yahweh, God made him to prosper.
主耶稣！乌西雅王决定要以耶和华为神，喜爱神的律法。主啊！我决定在生活和生计上以耶和华神的原则和法则为标准，我看重祢的一切命令，就不至于羞愧。我要在做法上寻求神的指引，并且和通晓神默示的仆人同行，好叫神在我身上一切的美旨都可以成就。

8月25日 敬畏神由心而发

代下25:2，14
亚玛谢行耶和华眼中看为正的事、只是心不专诚。亚玛谢杀了以东人回来、就把西珥的神像带回、立为自己的神、在他面前叩拜烧香。
He did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, but not with a perfect heart. Now it happened, after that Amaziah had come from the slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the children of Seir, and set them up to be his gods, and bowed down himself before them, and burned incense to them.
主耶稣！亚玛谢亲近神、用嘴唇尊敬神、心却远离神，敬畏神，不过是领受人的吩咐。主啊！我要专心敬畏他，专心事奉他，专一跟随他，仍是从心而发，不是受人吩咐。

8月24日 三大工程

代下24:15-16
耶何耶大年纪老迈、日子满足而死．死的时候、年一百三十岁． 葬在大卫城列王的坟墓里．因为他在以色列人中行善、又事奉神、修理神的殿。
But Jehoiada grew old and was full of days, and he died; one hundred thirty years old was he when he died. They buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, and toward God and his house.
主耶稣！耶何耶大完成三大工程，日子满足而死，圆满人生，我效法的榜样。主啊！愿行善，事奉神，修理神的殿，成为我的喜乐，也是我的尊荣。我渴想听见，主说：孩子，你是忠心良善的仆人，来！与我一同坐席。

8月23日 欢乐又安静

代下23:20-21
又率领百夫长、和贵冑、与民间的官长、并国中的众民、请王从耶和华殿下来、由上门进入王宫、立王坐在国位上。国民都欢乐、合城都安静。众人已将亚他利雅用刀杀了。
He took the captains of hundreds, and the nobles, and the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and brought down the king from the house of Yahweh: and they came through the upper gate to the king's house, and set the king on the throne of the kingdom. So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. Athaliah they had slain with the sword.
主耶稣！祢从死里复活，胜过死亡， 祢坐作为王，万国万民都要欢乐。又因祢的公义显明，合城都安静站立在祢的宝座前。主啊！我愿祢快回来。

8月22日 为主奋勇自强

代下23:1，3
第七年耶何耶大奋勇自强、将百夫长耶罗罕的儿子亚撒利雅、约哈难的儿子以实玛利、俄备得的儿子亚撒利雅、亚大雅的儿子玛西雅、细基利的儿子以利沙法召来、与他们立约。会众在神殿里与王立约。耶何耶大对他们说、看哪、王的儿子必当作王、正如耶和华指着大卫子孙所应许的话。
In the seventh year Jehoiada strengthened himself, and took the captains of hundreds, Azariah the son of Jeroham, and Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, and Azariah the son of Obed, and Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri, into covenant with him. All the assembly made a covenant with the king in God's house. He said to them, "Behold, the king's son shall reign, as Yahweh has spoken concerning the sons of David.
主耶稣！耶何耶大奋勇自强，冒生命的危险，做神所要成就的事。主啊！我不再胆怯为祢作见证，我不再找借口推卸责任，我要奋勇自强，高举主耶稣基督的名，见证天父的爱，传扬主的圣名。

8月21日 恶人受审要避开

代下22:7-8
亚哈谢去见约兰就被害了、这是出乎神．因为他到了、就同约兰出去攻击宁示的孙子耶户．这耶户是耶和华所膏、使他剪除亚哈家的。耶户讨亚哈家罪的时候、遇见犹大的众首领、和亚哈谢的众侄子服事亚哈谢、就把他们都杀了。
Now the destruction of Ahaziah was of God, in that he went to Joram: for when he had come, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom Yahweh had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab. It happened, when Jehu was executing judgment on the house of Ahab, that he found the princes of Judah, and the sons of the brothers of Ahaziah, ministering to Ahaziah, and killed them.
主耶稣！亚哈谢王的糊涂，恶人受审时，还领家人前往，招来杀身之祸。主啊！当耶和华神向恶人施行审判时，求圣灵在我的心中动工，敏锐神的作为，避开凶境。

8月20日 谁是我身边的谋士

代下22:2-4
亚哈谢登基的时候年四十二岁．在耶路撒冷作王一年．他母亲名叫亚他利雅、是暗利的孙女。亚哈谢也行亚哈家的道．因为他母亲给他主谋．使他行恶。他行耶和华眼中看为恶的事、像亚哈家一样．因他父亲死后有亚哈家的人给他主谋、以致败坏。
Forty-two years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Athaliah the daughter of Omri. He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab; for his mother was his counselor to do wickedly. He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, as did the house of Ahab; for they were his counselors after the death of his father, to his destruction.
主耶稣！亚哈谢因身边的谋士不认识耶和华神，以致败亡。主啊！今天，我要谨慎思考，重新对我周围的谋士给予定位。有那些是有聪明和才能，但，却不敬畏耶和华神。我决定要以敬畏神的人为我的谋士。

8月19日 耶和华神向大卫王守约施慈爱

代下21:7
耶和华却因自己与大卫所立的约，不肯灭大卫的家，照他所应许的，永远赐灯光与大卫和他的子孙。
However Yahweh would not destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that he had made with David, and as he promised to give a lamp to him and to his children always.
主耶稣！耶和华说，我要恩待谁，就恩待谁。要怜悯谁，就怜悯谁。耶和华神向谁立约，那人是有福的。主啊！谢谢祢，因为祢的救赎恩典，使我得以承受耶和华神与亚伯拉罕所立的约，叫我不至灭亡，反得永生，且在世上得怜悯，受恩待。

8月18日 自食恶果的结合

代下21:6
他行以色列诸王的道、与亚哈家一样．因他娶了亚哈的女儿为妻、行耶和华眼中看为恶的事。
He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab; for he had the daughter of Ahab as wife: and he did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh.
主耶稣！约沙法王与亚哈王相亲，良善与邪恶妥协带来家破人亡的悲剧。主啊！不从恶人的计谋，不站罪人的道路，不坐亵慢人的座位。宁愿失去商机，我坚决不与任何恶人联名做事。

8月17日向恶妥协的毛病

代下20:35-37
此后犹大王约沙法与以色列王亚哈谢交好．亚哈谢行恶太甚。二王合伙造船要往他施去．遂在以旬迦别造船。那时玛利沙人、多大瓦的儿子以利以谢、向约沙法预言、说、因你与亚哈谢交好、耶和华必破坏你所造的。后来那船果然破坏、不能往他施去了。
After this Jehoshaphat king of Judah joined himself with Ahaziah king of Israel. The same did very wickedly: and he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish; and they made the ships in Ezion Geber. Then Eliezer the son of Dodavahu of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, "Because you have joined yourself with Ahaziah, Yahweh has destroyed your works." The ships were broken, so that they were not able to go to Tarshish.
主耶稣！约沙法王忘了之前与亚哈王结亲差点丧命的经历，现在又与作恶的亚哈谢王合作。主啊！感谢祢提醒我有向恶妥协的老毛病，我有利用神赦罪恩典的思维，求主赦免我的过犯，也求主加添我力量，使我对神的法则坚守不渝。

8月16日 敬畏神的明证

代下20:20-21
次日清早众人起来、往提哥亚的旷野去．出去的时候、约沙法站着说、犹大人和耶路撒冷的居民哪、要听我说、信耶和华你们的神、就必立稳．信他的先知就必亨通。约沙法既与民商议了、就设立歌唱的人、颂赞耶和华、使他们穿上圣洁的礼服、走在军前赞美耶和华、说、当称谢耶和华．因他的慈爱永远长存。
They rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, "Listen to me, Judah, and you inhabitants of Jerusalem! Believe in Yahweh your God, so you shall be established! Believe his prophets, so you shall prosper." When he had taken counsel with the people, he appointed those who should sing to Yahweh, and give praise in holy array, as they went out before the army, and say, Give thanks to Yahweh; for his loving kindness endures forever.
主耶稣！约沙法王在先知，百姓面前的谦卑順服的信心是敬畏神的明证。主啊！求圣灵常光照和启示，好叫我的生命有敬畏神的明证。

8月15日 胜败不在乎我们

代下20:15-17
他说、犹大众人、耶路撒冷的居民、和约沙法王、你们请听、耶和华对你们如此说、不要因这大军恐惧、惊惶、因为胜败不在乎你们、乃在乎神。明日你们要下去迎敌．他们是从洗斯坡上来．你们必在耶鲁伊勒旷野前的谷口遇见他们。犹大和耶路撒冷人哪、这次你们不要争战、要摆阵站着、看耶和华为你们施行拯救．不要恐惧、也不要惊惶．明日当出去迎敌．因为耶和华与你们同在。
and he said, "Listen, all Judah, and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you king Jehoshaphat. Thus says Yahweh to you, 'Don't be afraid, neither be dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's. Tomorrow go down against them. Behold, they are coming up by the ascent of Ziz. You shall find them at the end of the valley, before the wilderness of Jeruel. You will not need to fight this battle. Set yourselves, stand still, and see the salvation of Yahweh with you, O Judah and Jerusalem. Don't be afraid, nor be dismayed. Go out against them tomorrow, for Yahweh is with you.'"
主耶稣！赐百般安慰的神，安慰以色列民，同时要以色民接受，面对挑战，并且应允以以色列民同在。主啊！有祢的应许：与我同在。我要勇敢面对生命中的每一个挑战，不再逃避，我的焦点不是胜败，我只要一个焦点就是：专注神的吩咐，照神的指示，讨神喜悦，荣耀天父。

8月14日 第一时间

代下20:2-4
有人来报告约沙法说、从海外亚兰〔亚兰又作以东〕那边有大军来攻击你、如今他们在哈洗逊他玛、就是隐基底。约沙法便惧怕、定意寻求耶和华．在犹大全地宣告禁食。于是犹大人聚会、求耶和华帮助．犹大各城都有人出来寻求耶和华。
Then some came who told Jehoshaphat, saying, "A great multitude is coming against you from beyond the sea from Syria. Behold, they are in Hazazon Tamar" . Jehoshaphat was alarmed, and set himself to seek to Yahweh. He proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah. Judah gathered themselves together, to seek help from Yahweh. They came out of all the cities of Judah to seek Yahweh.
主耶稣！约沙法王听见敌人来攻打，第一时间的反应是我要效法的。主啊！叫我在和平，安祥的日子，操练感恩的敬拜，在动荡不安，惧怕的时刻，我可以像约沙法王，即刻定意吩咐家人一同寻求耶和华，宣告禁食，进入神的殿，寻求神的帮助，叫神得荣耀。

8月13日 忠心诚实办事

代下19:6-7，9
对他们说、你们办事应当谨慎．因为你们判断不是为人、乃是为耶和华．判断的时候、他必与你们同在。现在你们应当敬畏耶和华．谨慎办事．因为耶和华我们的神没有不义、不偏待人、也不受贿赂。约沙法嘱咐他们说、你们当敬畏耶和华、忠心诚实办事。
and said to the judges, "Consider what you do: for you don't judge for man, but for Yahweh; and he is with you in the judgment. Now therefore let the fear of Yahweh be on you. Take heed and do it: for there is no iniquity with Yahweh our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of bribes." He commanded them, saying, "Thus you shall do in the fear of Yahweh, faithfully, and with a perfect heart.
主耶稣！约沙法王得了教训，蒙耶和华神留下他的生命，便将耶和华神摆在面前，更加认真敬畏神。主啊！我是蒙恩得救的人，所以无论作甚么，都要从心里作，像是给主作的，不是给人作的。谨慎办事，忠心诚实办事，成为我为主而活的标志。

8月12日 尊荣与卑鄙结亲

代下18:1
约沙法大有尊荣资财、就与亚哈结亲。
Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honor in abundance; and he joined affinity with Ahab.
主耶稣！亚哈王是黑暗权势的奴役，约沙法王却是大有尊荣。约沙法王与亚哈王结亲，结果约沙法王被亚哈王所影响。主啊！我们是神的儿女，有神的尊荣，我们显在这世代，如同明光照耀，将生命的道表明出来，我们不会与卑鄙结亲，更不会受到黑暗权势奴役，在生活作息的文化上所影响，。

8月11日 律法全备，苏醒人心

代下17:7，9-10
他作王第三年就差遣臣子便亥伊勒、俄巴底、撒迦利雅、拿坦业、米该亚、往犹大各城去教训百姓。 他们带着耶和华的律法书、走遍犹大各城教训百姓。耶和华使犹大四围的列国、都甚恐惧、不敢与约沙法争战。
Also in the third year of his reign he sent his princes, even Ben Hail, and Obadiah, and Zechariah, and Nethanel, and Micaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah; They taught in Judah, having the book of the law of Yahweh with them; and they went about throughout all the cities of Judah, and taught among the people.
The fear of Yahweh fell on all the kingdoms of the lands that were around Judah, so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat.
主耶稣！耶和华的律法全备，能苏醒人心，凡照书上的吩咐去行的人，敌人都会感到不安，站立不住。主啊！我和我家都渴望得到律法书的教训，求祢的话，教训和管教，每天都临到我全家，使我家健壮

8月10日 爱上遵行耶和华神的道

代下17:3-5
耶和华与约沙法同在、因为他行他祖大卫初行的道，不寻求巴力，只寻求他父亲的神遵行他的诫命、不效法以色列人的行为。所以耶和华坚定他的国、犹大众人给他进贡．约沙法大有尊荣资财。他高兴遵行耶和华的道．并且从犹大除掉一切丘坛、和木偶。
Yahweh was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and didn't seek the Baals, but sought to the God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel. Therefore Yahweh established the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat tribute; and he had riches and honor in abundance.
His heart was lifted up in the ways of Yahweh: and furthermore he took away the high places and the Asherim out of Judah.
主耶稣！因为祢的轭是容易的，祢我的担子是轻省的。因为祢的命令是清洁的，祢的法则是光明的。祢的真理叫我得自由。主啊！我爱上遵行耶和华的道。

8月9日 人软弱却没有求耶和华

代下16:10，12
亚撒因此恼恨先见、将他囚在监里。那时亚撒也虐待一些人民。亚撒作王三十九年、他脚上有病、而且甚重．病的时候没有求耶和华、只求医生。
Then Asa was angry with the seer, and put him in the prison; for he was in a rage with him because of this thing. Asa oppressed some of the people at the same time. In the thirty-ninth year of his reign Asa was diseased in his feet; his disease was exceeding great: yet in his disease he didn't seek Yahweh, but to the physicians.
主耶稣！我看到亚撒王起初敬虔的生命，但是，他在软弱的时刻，不听先知的劝导，一错再错，选择靠自己，不求耶和华，结果败在自己的手中。主啊！我晓得肢体中另有个律、和我心中的律交战，把我掳去叫我附从那肢体中犯罪的律。感谢神，靠着我们的主耶稣基督，我在软弱中求告耶和华，就能脱离犯罪的律。

8月8日 诚实无价

代下16:9
耶和华的眼目遍察全地、要显大能帮助向他心存诚实的人。你这事行得愚昧．此后、你必有争战的事。
For the eyes of Yahweh run back and forth throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein you have done foolishly; for from henceforth you shall have wars."
主耶稣！心存诚实是神所喜悦的，不诚实是愚蠢的。主啊！谢谢祢的教诲，诚实人有智慧，诚实胜过一切的金银，胜过名利，大过名誉，我决定要在诚实上竭力虔心，以心灵诚实敬拜耶和华。

8月7日 该除的必除

代下15:16
亚撒王贬了他祖母玛迦太后的位、因他造了可憎的偶像亚舍拉．亚撒砍下他的偶像、捣得粉碎、烧在汲沦溪边。
Also Maacah, the mother of Asa the king, he removed from being queen, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah; and Asa cut down her image, and made dust of it, and burnt it at the brook Kidron.
主耶稣！亚撒王不看祖母的情面，该除的必除。主啊！我需要一个果敢的心，不会为了顾虑人的感受，为了看人的情面，为了讨人的喜悦，而失去了方向。若是有神所不喜悦的，并且吩咐我去拔除的，我决不妥协，直到事情成就。

8月6日 认真寻求神

代下15:12-15
他们就立约、要尽心尽性地寻求耶和华他们列祖的神． 凡不寻求耶和华以色列神的、无论大小、男女、必被治死。他们就大声欢呼、吹号吹角、向耶和华起誓。犹大众人为所起的誓欢喜．因他们是尽心起誓、尽意寻求耶和华、耶和华就被他们寻见、且赐他们四境平安。
They entered into the covenant to seek Yahweh, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and with all their soul; and that whoever would not seek Yahweh, the God of Israel, should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman. They swore to Yahweh with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets. All Judah rejoiced at the oath; for they had sworn with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire; and he was found of them: and Yahweh gave them rest all around.
主耶稣！王与百姓向神认真，尽心尽力寻求神，做该做的事，耶和华神就被他们寻见。主啊！我也要向神认真，在所要做的事上寻求神，像使徒保罗一样认真，以认识基督为至宝，为基督丢弃万事，为要得着神在基督里从天上召我来的奖赏。

8月5日 不要手软

代下15:7-8
现在你们要刚强、不要手软．因你们所行的、必得赏赐。亚撒听见这话、和俄德儿子先知亚撒利雅的预言、就壮起胆来、在犹大、便雅悯全地、并以法莲山地所夺的各城、将可憎之物、尽都除掉．又在耶和华殿的廊前、重新修筑耶和华的坛。
But you be strong, and don't let your hands be slack; for your work shall be rewarded." When Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the abominations out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from the hill country of Ephraim; and he renewed the altar of Yahweh, that was before the porch of Yahweh.
主耶稣！关于神看为正为义为公的事，我都要勇敢去作，绝不放弃，不会因为别人的眼光，言语，行为而改变。主啊！我在奉献的事上也不手软，求主悦纳我的献祭。

8月4日 神在等人回转

代下15:1-3
神的灵感动俄德的儿子亚撒利雅．他出来迎接亚撒、对他说、亚撒和犹大便雅悯众人哪、要听我说、你们若顺从耶和华、耶和华必与你们同在．你们若寻求他、就必寻见．你们若离弃他、他必离弃你们。以色列人不信真神、没有训诲的祭司、也没有律法、已经好久了．
The Spirit of God came on Azariah the son of Oded: and he went out to meet Asa, and said to him, "Hear me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin! Yahweh is with you, while you are with him; and if you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will forsake you. Now for a long time Israel was without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law.
主耶稣！以色列人虽然好久已经不信真神，也没有律法，耶和华神仍在等候以色列人回转。主啊！求感动亚撒利雅的圣灵，也感动在政界，商界，教育界，和影视传媒界有影响力的基督徒，激动他们，勇敢的说话，吩咐在上有权柄的都要听耶和华神的话。
