神清晰的话语
有没有人在向你仔细解释什么事之后问你说：“怎么样，听起来费解吗？”“唯独圣经”令人费解的是，人如何能够清楚理解圣经的意思呢？
改教家们认为，他们那个时期的教会为了维护圣经的权威和神圣性，禁止将圣经翻译成大众语言，且声称只有神职人员才能阐明它真正的意思，这是错误的。从马丁路德开始，改教家们指出，对那些抛开自己的偏见并倚靠圣灵引导的普罗大众读者来说，神在圣经中的救恩计划是很清楚的。或许不是经文中的所有内容都完全清晰明了，但圣经已经足以为信仰和生活提供清晰的指南。
今天诗篇119篇中的经文，称神的话为我们脚前的灯和路上的光。如果你有时间，请完整读通这诗篇。它使用希伯来字母，从A到Z陈列出神话语的重量、价值，和明晰性。
尽管你可能不明白圣经中全部的内容，但如果你放下自己的偏见，求圣灵引导你的想法和理解力，神的话语一定会清楚地向你的心说话。然后，为祂的话献上感恩，并在今天和每一天付诸实践，讨祂喜悦和事奉祂吧。
主啊，为着祢清晰而美好的话语感谢祢。在我阅读和聆听祢的话语时，求祢透过圣灵引导我的理解力，好使我今天能找到路上的光。奉耶稣的名祷告，阿们。
诗篇 119:97-105
97我何等爱慕你的律法， 终日不住地思想。
98你的命令常存在我心里， 使我比仇敌有智慧。
99我比我的师傅更通达， 因我思想你的法度。
100我比年老的更明白， 因我守了你的训词。
101我禁止我脚走一切的邪路， 为要遵守你的话。
102我没有偏离你的典章， 因为你教训了我。
103你的言语在我上膛何等甘美， 在我口中比蜜更甜！
104我藉着你的训词得以明白， 所以我恨一切的假道。
105你的话是我脚前的灯， 是我路上的光。
The Clarity Of God's Word
"Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path." — Psalm 119:105
After explaining something carefully to you, has someone ever asked, "Now, is that as clear as mud?" One wrinkle in the teaching of Scripture alone is the clarity and comprehensibility of the Bible's meaning for human readers.
The Reformers believed that the church of their day had wrongly guarded Scripture by forbidding that it be translated into the common languages of the people and by claiming that only the clergy could interpret its true meaning. Starting with Martin Luther, the Reformers taught that God's salvation plan in the Bible is clear to ordinary readers who put aside their own biases and depend on the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Perhaps not everything in Scripture is perfectly clear, but the Bible is clear enough to give guidance for faith and life.
Today's verse in Psalm 119 calls God's Word a lamp for our feet and a light on our path. If you have the time, read all of Psalm 119. Using the Hebrew alphabet, this psalm lists from "A to Z" the weight, value, and clarity of God's Word.
Although you may not understand everything you read in the Bible, if you put aside your biases and ask the Holy Spirit to guide your thoughts and understanding, God's Word will speak clearly to your heart. Then give thanks for his Word and put it into practice to please and serve him, today and every day.
Thank you, Lord, for your clear and excellent Word. By your Holy Spirit, guide my understanding as I read and listen so that I will find light for my path today. In Jesus, Amen.
