明智之举
当你买了一个新的咖啡壶、一件电动工具、或一辆汽车时，照理你是会按照制造商的指引来操作的，他们会告诉你使用新的购置时需要知道的事情。
同样，我们也需要依从我们的创造主的指引，神的本意是要我们过丰盛的生命，而依从这些指引是丰盛生命的基本要素。
诗篇119首先指出，遵行耶和华律法的人是有福和完全的。不过，我们需要澄清两件事。
第一，神的话告诉我们：“我造你是要你这样生活的，你若按照我的指引过活，你便必定蒙福。”这并不是说万事都轻省容易，然而，无论境况如何 － 轻省或艰难 － 你与神和与人的交往仍然会兴盛，因为你的目标是要尊崇和服从神。
第二，我们必须想想，完全是什么意思。完全的意思不是“完美无瑕”。每一个人都犯了罪，亏缺了神的义和衪的完美无瑕（罗马书 3:23），然而，凡蒙救主基督救赎的，神都已称他们为义了。当我们接受基督为我们的救主时，我们便会渴望学像衪、和按照神在衪的律法中的指引过生活。耶稣说：“饥渴慕义的人有福了，因为他们必得饱足”（马太福音 5:6）。饥渴慕义能带来饱足。
你渴慕什么呢？如果你希望讨神喜悦，那就全心全意遵从衪的话语吧。
主啊，求祢引导我行在祢的道路上，“我学了你公义的判语，就要以正直的心称谢你。”阿们。
诗篇 119:1-8
1行为完全，遵行耶和华律法的，这人便为有福！
2遵守他的法度，一心寻求他的，这人便为有福！
3这人不做非义的事，但遵行他的道。
4耶和华啊，你曾将你的训词吩咐我们，为要我们殷勤遵守。
5但愿我行事坚定，得以遵守你的律例！
6我看重你的一切命令，就不至于羞愧。
7我学了你公义的判语，就要以正直的心称谢你。
8我必守你的律例，求你总不要丢弃我。
The Wise Thing To Do
"Blessed are those whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the LORD." - Psalm 119:1
When you get a new coffee pot, a power tool, or a car, it makes sense to follow the maker’s instructions. They tell you what you need to know about using the new product.
Similarly, we need to follow our Maker’s instructions. They are essential for living life to the fullest, as God intends for us.
As Psalm 119 begins, it points out that people who follow God’s way are blessed and blameless. But we need to clarify two things.
First, in giving his Word, God tells us, “This is how I created you to live. When you live according to my instructions, you will be blessed.” This does not mean everything will be easy, but, whatever the circumstances—easy or difficult—your life with God and others will flourish because you aim to honor and obey God.
Second, we must consider the meaning of blameless. Blameless does not mean “perfect.” Everyone sins, falling short of God’s righteousness and perfection (Romans 3:23). But all who are redeemed by Christ, the Savior, are declared righteous by God. When we believe in Christ as our Savior, we long to be like him, to live God’s way, according to his Torah. And Jesus says, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled” (Matthew 5:6). The hunger for righteousness leads to being filled.
What are you hungering for? If you want to please God, follow his Word with all your heart.
O Lord, guide me in your ways, and “I will praise you with an upright heart as I learn your righteous laws.” Amen.
