Hidden treasure!
隐藏的宝藏！
(J. C. Philpot, “Meditations on the Holy Spirit”)
(J. C. 菲尔波特，”关于圣灵的默想”)
“Oh, how I love your law! I meditate on it all day long!” Psalm 119:97
“我何等爱慕你的律法！终日不住地思想。” 诗篇119:97
“Truly, I love your commands more than gold, even the finest gold!” Psalm 119:127
“所以我爱你的命令，胜于金子，更胜于精金！” 诗篇119:127
“Your decrees are my treasure; they are truly my heart’s delight!” Psalm 119:111
“你的法度是我永远的产业，因为这是我心中的喜乐！” 诗篇119:111
To a spiritual mind, sweet and soul-rewarding is the searching of the Word as for hidden treasure.
对于属灵的心思而言，如同寻找隐藏的宝藏般查考圣言是何等甘甜，何等令人心满意足。
No sweeter, no better employment can engage heart and hands than, in the spirit of prayer and meditation, of separation from the world, of holy fear, of a desire to know the will of God and do it, of humility, simplicity, and godly sincerity, to seek to enter into those heavenly mysteries which are stored up in the Scriptures; and this, not to furnish the head with notions, but to feed the soul with the bread of life!
没有比以下这样的工作更甘甜更美好的了：以祷告和默想的心，以远离世界的心，以圣洁的敬畏，以渴慕认识并遵行神旨意的心，以谦卑、单纯和敬虔诚实的心，寻求进入那些储藏在圣经中的属天奥秘；这不是为了在头脑中装满概念，而是用生命之粮喂养灵魂！
Truth, received in the love and power of it informs and establishes the judgment, softens and melts the heart, warms and draws upward the affections, makes and keeps the conscience alive and tender, is the food of faith, is the strength of hope, is the mainspring of love.
真理，当在爱中和能力中接受时，能教导并坚固判断力，软化并融化心灵，温暖并提升情感，使良心保持活泼敏锐，是信心的粮食，是盼望的力量，是爱的源泉。
“My child, listen to Me and treasure My instructions. Search for them as you would for lost money or hidden treasure!” Proverbs 2:1,4
“我儿，你若领受我的言语，将我的命令存记在心，搜求它如搜求银子，寻找它如寻找隐藏的珍宝。” 箴言2:1,4
