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。
