「我還是相信，在活人之地，我可以看見耶和華的恩惠。
你要等候耶和華，要剛強，要堅定你的心，要等候耶和華。」

詩篇 27:13-14 

Note: There was a typo in today’s OYB reading. Psalm should be 27:1-14, not 27:1-26.

「懶惰人哪！你去看看螞蟻，察看牠們所行的，就可得著智慧。
螞蟻沒有元帥，沒有官長，也沒有統治者，
尚且在夏天預備食物，在收割的時候積聚糧食。
懶惰人哪，你要睡到幾時呢？你甚麼時候才睡醒呢？
再睡片時，打盹片時，抱著手躺臥片時，
你的貧窮就必像強盜來到，你的缺乏就必像拿兵器的人來到。」

箴言 6:6-11

3:7-10 God in action:

1. I have indeed seen
2. I have heard
3. I am concerned about
4. I have come down to deliver…. and to bring them up out of
5. I have seen
6. I am sending

3:11 Moses (in)action:

    "Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?"

Matthew 14:16, 15:26

Sometimes Jesus asks us the most outrageous questions. It is not to humiliate us or challenge us. In fact, it has nothing to do with "us". What He is doing is to prompt us not to think about ourselves — of what we can do or can not do, but focus on Him and what He does.

And only through that He shows us just what kind of a god He really is. And often times, it is very different from what we think He is.

Anson 在他的讀經中有很好的領受，或者可以幫助你明白怎樣寫靈修日誌。當然，他的分享嚴格來說並非靈修日誌，這是他向他blog的讀者的分享。靈修日誌，我想，可以更personal一點。

他剛讀到馬太福音（你的新約速讀不是從頭開始嗎？怎麼現在才讀馬太福音？）。我one year bible的新約部份也在馬太福音。讀到第九章時，我寫道：

Matthew: 

9:13 "I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners." Once again, Jesus refuses the play the game of humans. When He calls Matthew, He is refusing to call somebody else — He is refusing to play the games of the Pharisees and the Teachers of the Law. He is telling all of us that He is here to call those that need Him, not those that question Him; not those that challenge His way of doing things, or His way to save us.

9:17 What Jesus doing is a new thing. To accept the new thing, we must accept the fact that we need a new way to perceive this. Our old containers can not sustain Jesus’ teachings and His way of doing things anymore. Unless we give that up and start with Him again altogether, we will never understand Him and we will never understand ourselves.

By the way, I just learned that I became a "one year bible blogger (OYBB)"! Good, another acronym, just what I need!

看見大家的進度，真的教我歡喜雀躍！希望大家不要放棄，努力加油！培養讀經生活並非如此難以想像罷。

屬　神的人的品行

大衛的詩。

1. 耶和華啊！誰能在你的帳幕裡寄居？誰能在你的聖山上居住呢？
2. 就是行為完全，作事公義，心裡說誠實話的人。
3. 他不以舌頭詆毀人，不惡待朋友，也不毀謗他的鄰居。
4. 他眼中藐視卑鄙的人，卻尊重敬畏耶和華的人。他起了誓，縱然自己吃虧，也不更改。
5. 他不拿自己的銀子放債取利，也不收受賄賂陷害無辜；行這些事的人，必永不動搖。

一月剛過了一半，你的讀經計劃進展如何？

感謝神，我還on track，不過星期日通常特別早起，所以那日的經文還是和星期一的一同看。 另外，每天我也寫 journal，將我讀經的感受和疑問寫下。用英文，每天700字左右，是一邊讀、一邊寫的。讀完，就看著寫下的感受來禱告。
