“Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of Your law!” Psalm 119:18
“求你开我的眼睛,使我能看见你律法中的奇妙!”诗篇119:18
Let me tell you a little secret: whenever you cannot understand a text, open your Bible, bend your knee, and pray over that text; and if it does not split into atoms and open itself, then try again. If prayer does not explain it, then it is one of those things that God did not intend you to know at present, and you may be content to be ignorant of it.
让我告诉你一个小秘密:每当你无法理解一段经文时,打开圣经,屈膝祷告这段经文;如果它没有分解开来向你显明,那就再试一次。如果祷告仍然不能解释它,那么这可能就是上帝暂时不想让你知道的事情之一,你可以心安理得地保持无知。
Prayer is the key that opens the cabinets of mystery. Prayer and faith are sacred picklocks that can open secrets, and obtain great treasures! There is no college for holy education like that of the blessed Spirit, for He is an ever-present tutor, to whom we have only to bend the knee, and He is at our side-the great Expositor of truth!
祷告是开启奥秘之柜的钥匙。祷告和信心是能开启秘密、获取巨大宝藏的神圣开锁工具!没有任何圣洁教育的学府能比得上蒙福的圣灵,因为祂是永远同在的导师,我们只需要屈膝,祂就在我们身边——这位伟大的真理解释者!
You will frequently find fresh streams of thought leaping up from the passage before you, as if the rock had been struck by Moses’ rod! New veins of precious ore will be revealed to your astonished gaze as you quarry God’s Word and use diligently the hammer of prayer!
你会经常发现新的思想泉流从你面前的经文中涌现,就好像磐石被摩西的杖击打一样!当你开采上帝的话语并勤勉地使用祷告的锤子时,新的宝贵矿脉将在你惊讶的注视下显现出来!
“But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes-He will guide you into all truth!” John 16:13
“但当祂,真理的圣灵来到时,祂会引导你们进入一切真理!”约翰福音16:13
“Every text prayed over opens a mine of ‘unsearchable riches,’ with a light from above, more clear and full than the most intelligent exposition.” (Charles Bridges)
“每一处经文在祷告中默想都会开启一座’难以测度的丰富’矿藏,从上而来的光比最智慧的解经更清晰、更完整。”(查尔斯·布里奇斯)
“A humble and prayerful spirit will find a thousand things in the Bible-which the proud, self-conceited student will utterly fail to discern.” (J.C. Ryle)
“一个谦卑和祷告的心灵能在圣经中发现上千件事物,而骄傲、自负的学习者却完全无法察觉。”(J.C.莱尔)
“There should be a definite asking Him to graciously anoint our eyes-not only that we may be enabled to behold wondrous things in His law, but also that He will make us of quick discernment to perceive how the passage before us applies to ourselves-what are the particular lessons we need to learn from it. The more we cultivate this habit, the more likely that God will be pleased to open His Word unto us.” (Arthur Pink)
“我们应当明确地求祂恩慈地膏抹我们的眼睛——不仅使我们能看见祂律法中的奇事,也使我们能快速领悟眼前的经文如何应用在我们身上——我们需要从中学习什么具体的功课。我们越是培养这个习惯,上帝就越喜悦向我们开启祂的话语。”(阿瑟·平克)
