經文: 沙番是軟弱之類，卻在磐石中造房。（箴言三十：26）

沙番或稱作岩貛，知道自己肉體的軟弱，只好躲在岩石中的洞穴，躲避敵人以保安全。我的心哪，願你從這些軟弱之類來學習功課。你像膽怯的沙番一般軟弱。生命充滿危險，因此要學祂們聰明地尋找庇護處。我的安全是在永不改變之耶和華的堅壘�，在其內，祂的應許堅立如磐石巨壁。常常躲避在屬上帝的榮耀保護中，祂的屬性是那些信靠之人的安全保障。以前，撒但和我的罪追逐我，我逃至磐石──基督耶穌的洞穴中，在祂被刺透的助旁，我尋得可喜之安息處。我的心啊，不論你現在的憂傷為何，今晚重新投向祂。耶穌要分擔你的感受，祂要安慰並幫助你。在鞏固城堡中的王並不會比在岩石洞穴中的沙番更安全。有一萬輛戰車的勇士並不比山上岩石洞中的小小居住者有更堅固的保障。即使巨人也不及他們強壯，在天堂的人也不過和他們一般安全。信心使在地上的人得到天國的保護。沙番不會建造城堡，可是牠們利用現有的磐石，我不能為自己建造避難所，可是耶穌已為我供應。天父已供給，聖靈則將之啓示。今晚我將進入此避難所，所有仇敵都不能侵害我。

Scripture: "The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks."(Proverbs 30:26)

Conscious of their own natural defencelessness, the conies resort to burrows in the rocks, and are secure from their enemies. My heart, be willing to gather a lesson from these feeble folk. Thou art as weak and as exposed to peril as the timid cony, be as wise to seek a shelter. My best security is within the munitions of an immutable Jehovah, where his unalterable promises stand like giant walls of rock. It will be well with thee, my heart, if thou canst always hide thyself in the bulwarks of his glorious attributes, all of which are guarantees of safety for those who put their trust in him. Blessed be the name of the Lord, I have so done, and have found myself like David in Adullam, safe from the cruelty of my enemy; I have not now to find out the blessedness of the man who puts his trust in the Lord, for long ago, when Satan and my sins pursued me, I fled to the cleft of the rock Christ Jesus, and in his riven side I found a delightful resting-place. My heart, run to him anew to-night, whatever thy present grief may be; Jesus feels for thee; Jesus consoles thee; Jesus will help thee. No monarch in his impregnable fortress is more secure than the cony in his rocky burrow. The master of ten thousand chariots is not one whit better protected than the little dweller in the mountain's cleft. In Jesus the weak are strong, and the defenceless safe; they could not be more strong if they were giants, or more safe if they were in heaven. Faith gives to men on earth the protection of the God of heaven. More they cannot need, and need not wish. The conies cannot build a castle, but they avail themselves of what is there already: I cannot make myself a refuge, but Jesus has provided it, his Father has given it, his Spirit has revealed it, and lo, again to-night I enter it, and am safe from every foe.
