与光同行
我的夜视灯是徒步旅行和露营时很有用的装备。我用它在夜晚走路,在黑暗中寻找东西。但有一天,在阿巴拉契亚山道的一场暴风雪中,气温骤降至冰点以下,我的夜视灯电池耗尽了,完全无法使用。
值得庆幸的是,在我们人生的旅途中,我们拥有一盏永不熄灭的灯:神的话语。
诗篇119篇是对神的话语的长篇歌咏。诗人赞美神的话是永恒的真理,是可靠的,称它为自己脚前的灯,路上的光。这不像体育场的灯光那样,明亮得足以把黑夜变成白昼。相反,这更像是我的夜视灯,我们借助它微光徐徐的指引,一步一步地前进。这盏灯照亮了我当下正在迈出的一步路,接着是下一步。知道神的话并不能使我们成为神。它显明了我们所倚靠的神的慈爱、信实和大能。它教导我们顺服,使我们有信心在黑暗的道路上与神同行。
在这个数字化的时代,即时信息使日常工作变得更容易。谷歌可以告诉我们旅行最快的路线。YouTube油管可以指导我们如何吊石膏板或种树。
但只有神的话才能引导我们走神所喜悦的和祂所拣选的道路。
主耶稣,愿你的话语指引我们的道路,成为我们心中的喜乐。阿们。
诗篇 119:105-112
105你的话是我脚前的灯,是我路上的光。
106你公义的典章,我曾起誓遵守,我必按誓而行。
107我甚是受苦,耶和华啊,求你照你的话将我救活。
108耶和华啊,求你悦纳我口中的赞美为供物,又将你的典章教训我。
109我的性命常在危险之中,我却不忘记你的律法。
110恶人为我设下网罗,我却没有偏离你的训词。
111我以你的法度为永远的产业,因这是我心中所喜爱的。
112我的心专向你的律例,永远遵行,一直到底。
Walking With A Light
"Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path." - Psalm 119:105
My headlamp is a useful piece of gear for hiking and camping. I’ve used it for walking at night and for finding things in the dark. But during a snowstorm one day, when temperatures dropped well below freezing on the Appalachian Trail, my headlamp battery died, rendering it completely useless.
Thankfully, on our path through life we have a light that won’t fail: God’s Word.
Psalm 119 is one long celebration of God’s Word. The psalmist celebrates the eternal truth and reliability of God’s Word, calling it a lamp for his feet. Now, this is not like stadium lights, so bright that they seem to change darkness to day. Instead, this is more like my headlamp, for moving along step by step. This light illuminates the step I am taking right now, and then the next one. Knowing God’s Word does not make us God. It reveals the love, faithfulness, and power of the God we depend on. It teaches an obedience that gives us confidence to walk with God on dark pathways.
In this digital age, instant information makes daily tasks easier. Google can show us the fastest route for a trip. YouTube can show us how to hang drywall or plant a tree.
But only God’s Word can lead us in the paths that God approves and chooses for us.
Lord Jesus, may your Word guide our paths and be the joy of our hearts. Amen.
