信心的支票簿 Faith's check book 上帝是至高權威 經文: 「愛你律法的人有大平安，什麼都不能使他們絆腳。」（詩篇一百十九︰165） 喜愛耶和華律法的必得上帝的保護，並享平安。讓我們常把上帝的律法放在心中，如此必能光明磊落，心安理得地過日。聖靈是賜安慰的保惠師，藉著聖經的話，常把出人意外的平安，放在我們心中，平息胸中的風暴。 沒有什麼事會絆跌那些心中充滿上帝話語的人，他每天背起自己的十字架，而且甘心樂意地背著它，他準備好迎接嚴厲的考驗，知道那是不足為奇的。無論順境逆境，他都泰然自處，富貴不淫，貧賤不移，外在的環境，絲毫不能影響他內在的平安。當上帝把那種連外人都覺得難以承擔的考驗加給了他，他仍然能夠毫無怨尤，甚至甘之如飴的接受，不會再循理智的路線，質問上帝的帶領，只存著敬畏的心，默然不語地領受上帝是至高無上的權威。主啊，就在今天，讓我們享有這份愛和安息。 The Bible's Supreme Place Scripture: "Great peace have they which love Thy Law: and nothing shall offend them"(Psalm 119:165). Yes, a true love for the great Book will bring us great peace from the great God and be a great protection to us. Let us live constantly in the society of the law of the LORD, and it will breed in our hearts a restfulness such as nothing else can. The Holy Spirit acts as a Comforter through the Word and sheds abroad those benign influences which calm the tempests of the soul. Nothing is a stumbling block to the man who has the Word of God dwelling in him richly. He takes up his daily cross, and it becomes a delight. For the fiery trial he is prepared and counts it not strange, so as to be utterly cast down by it. He is neither stumbled by prosperity -- as so many are -- nor crushed by adversity -- as others have been -- for he lives beyond the changing circumstances of external life. When his LORD puts before him some great mystery of the faith which makes others cry, "This is an hard saying; who can hear it?" the believer accepts it without question; for his intellectual difficulties are overcome by his reverent awe of the law of the LORD, which is to him the supreme authority to which he joyfully bows. LORD, work in us this love, this peace, this rest, this day. www.glorypress.com
