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！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"。

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。

伯10:1-3

"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

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."

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

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。

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.

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.

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."

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。

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."

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。
