聖潔的榜樣

經文: ��「我將耶和華常擺在我面前，因祂在我右邊，我便不致搖動。」（詩篇十六︰8）�

這是我們生活的方式──將耶和華常擺在我面前。如此，我們有最尊貴的密友，最聖潔的榜樣，給我們有力的影響及甜蜜的安慰。這必須是個有意志的行動，我「定意」將上帝擺在我面前，事情就這麼敲定，而且繼續下去。屬上帝的人理當常思念上面的事，揣摩上帝的心意，傾聽上帝的聲音；上帝一直就在身邊，引導我們前面的道路，拓展我們的視野，供應我們默想的主題。諸如要克服怎樣的惡習，要躲避怎樣的虛浮，要培養怎樣的美德；喔，若我們真把耶和華擺在面前，我們要經歷何等喜樂的生活！�

這是一條安全的道路。主活在我們心中，如此貼近我的心靈，因此我滿有平安喜樂，對生活有篤定的把握。祂在我的右邊，引導我們，幫助我們，所以我們必不致動搖。即使環境中有爾虞我詐、欺壓排擠的事，我也不被擊倒，因為上帝站在我旁邊，成為我的靠山。來吧！仇敵，你儘管使出詭計花招吧，上帝必要用全能的手護衛我，有祂的同在，我還怕什麼呢﹖�


Our Holiest Example

Scripture: "I have set the LORD always before me: because He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved" (Psalm 16:8).

This is the way to live. With God always before us, we shall have the noblest companionship, the holiest example, the sweetest consolation, and the mightiest influence. This must be a resolute act of the mind. "I have set," and it must be maintained as a set and settled thing. Always to have an eye to the LORD's eye and an ear for the LORD's voice--this is the right state for the godly man. His God is near him, filling the horizon of his vision, leading the way of his life, and furnishing the theme of his meditation. What vanities we should avoid, what sins we should overcome, what virtues we should exhibit, what joys we should experience if we did indeed set the LORD always before us! Why not?

This is the way to be safe. The LORD being ever in our minds, we come to feel safety and certainty because of His being so near. He is at our right hand to guide and aid us; and hence we are not moved by fear, nor force, nor fraud, nor fickleness. When God stands at a man's right hand, that man is himself sure to stand. Come on, then, ye foemen of the truth! Rush against me like a furious tempest, if ye will. God upholds me. God abides with me. Whom shall I fear?
