靈命日糧 - 2005年3月11日
讀經: 彼得後書1章1-4節
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
金句: 「上帝的神能已將一切關乎生命和虔敬的事賜給我們。」（彼得後書1章3節）
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
全年讀經: 約書亞記1-3章
數年前我曾拜訪一所知名大學的圖書館。當我沿著一排排的書架行走，無意中從一排讀書區走過，竟然瞥見一個學生在看兒童漫畫書。在這神聖的知識殿堂裏，這名年輕人竟渾然忘我地陶醉在童真世界，我不禁啞然失笑。
看漫畫並沒有什麼不對，人在工作讀書之餘都需要稍作喘息。只是有人總是沉浸在無意義的娛樂之中：書本、雜誌及各類娛樂一再吸引我們的焦點，而且對我們的生活產生重大的影響，這是多麼不明智！殊不知熟讀手中的「生命之書」－－－聖經，不僅可認識真神，還能得著豐盛的生命。
人忽視聖經的最大理由不是「沒有時間」，而是「沒有渴慕的心」。其他人的話已經取代了上帝的話。值得閱讀的好書和雜誌確實不少，但是我們絕對不可因此而忽視了記載在每頁聖經上的愛與恩典。只有從聖經的每頁字句，我們才能找著「一切關乎生命和虔敬的事」（彼得後書1章3節）。
求上帝賜我們有一顆渴慕的心，天天尋求祂的話。DHR
主的話句句真理，
世上財寶無法比；
藉著信心能得到，
就在禱告讀經裏。D. De Haan
擁有聖經是一項神聖的義務。

Trivial Pursuits
Read:2 Peter 1:1-4
His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness. —2 Peter 1:3
Bible In One Year: Joshua 1-3
A number of years ago I was in the library of a prestigious university. As I walked among the bookshelves, I happened to pass by a row of small cubicles set aside for study and spied a student reading a Bugs Bunny comic book. I almost laughed out loud. Here was a young man surrounded by the wisdom of the ages, yet immersed in childish trivia.
There's nothing wrong with comic books, and all of us need occasional respite from study, but some of us never get beyond trivial pursuits. Books, magazines, and other media are the preoccupation and primary influence in our lives. How foolish! We have in our hands the Word of Life—the Book that tells us how to know God and live abundantly.
The greatest cause for our neglect of the Bible is not lack of time but lack of heart. Someone else's word is taking the place of the Word of Christ. There are many good books and magazines to read, but we must not neglect the mysteries of God's grace and love that are written on every page of the Bible. That's where we find everything we need for "life and godliness" (2 Peter 1:3).
Ask God to give you a desire for His Word and a hunger to taste His goodness every day. —David Roper
How rich the truths within God's Word—
What gems beyond compare!
By faith we can discover them
When study joins with prayer. —D. De Haan
It is an awesome responsibility to own a Bible.
