金句: 「我也要在君王面前论说你的法度，并不至于羞愧。」（诗篇119篇46节）

全年读经: 士师记16-18章  

全世界有许多旅馆在每个房间放置一本圣经，只要打开抽屉便可找到。
近来在一间下榻的旅馆内，却在大厅桌上看见一本一直打开的圣经。待我进入房内，圣经不是在抽屉里，也是放在桌上。我猜想旅馆主人决定这样做，是想要那些旅行者能感到上帝的同在、听见上帝的话语。当人在异乡时，他们常感到孤独，更需要安慰。

这件事也使我反省自己对待圣经的态度，在我心里敞开的那本圣经是给人看的吗？人们从我的行动中，能感受到我在默想上帝的话语吗？

诗篇119篇充满对上帝话语奇妙的赞美，伴随作者要遵从上帝的话语，并和他人分享圣经的决心。「我要自由而行，因我素来考究你的训词。」他写到：「我也要在君王面前论说你的法度，并不至于羞愧。我要在你的命令中自乐，……是我所爱的。我也要思想你的律例」（45-47节）。

既然每个人生都是一本敞开的书，就让我生命的每一页都写满圣经的爱和大能，并能和每个人分享它。DCM


在这个冷漠和迷失的世界里，
我们是它唯一能读到的圣经；
我们是怀疑论者嘲笑的对象，
也是千千万万罪人们的福音。Flint

Open Bible



Read:Psalm 119:41-48
I will speak of Your testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed. —Psalm 119:46


Bible In One Year: Judges 16-18

Many hotels in countries around the world have a Bible in each room. Just open a drawer and you'll find it.

But during a recent hotel stay, I was surprised to see an open Bible placed prominently on a table in the lobby. And when I reached my room, instead of the Bible being in a drawer, it was lying open on the desk. My guess is that the owner decided to draw people's attention to the presence of God and His Word as they travel—often alone and sometimes in great need.

This caused me to ponder my own response to the Scriptures. Is the Bible open in my heart for people to see? Do my actions give evidence that I'm meditating on God's Word?

Psalm 119 is filled with praise for the wonder of God's Word, along with the writer's promise to live by it and share it with others. "I will walk at liberty, for I seek Your precepts," he wrote. "I will speak of Your testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed. And I will delight myself in Your commandments, which I love. . . . And I will meditate on Your statutes" (vv.45-47).

Since every life is an open book, let's seek to demonstrate the love and power of God's Word, the Bible, for everyone to see. —David McCasland


We are the only Bible
The careless world will read;
We are the sinner's gospel,
We are the scoffer's creed. —Flint

Of all the commentaries on the Scriptures, good examples are the best. —John Donne
