標  題: 藉著默想改變

經  節: 惟喜愛耶和華的律法,晝夜思想,這人便為有福!(詩篇一篇2節)

默想是「不斷地深入思考某一件事」。對基督徒而言,默想代表持續地在神面前思索祂向我們啟示的真理,直到這真理成為生命中真實的個人經驗。這是需要花時間的。在山上,耶穌曾訓誡一些自稱是信徒的人,他們口中稱呼祂:「主啊,主啊」,卻不遵循祂的話(路加福音六:46)。他們頭腦空有正確的真理,卻沒有化知識為順服的行動。當你默想經文,真理會從你的頭腦流入你的心裡,然後生成了順服。正如同詩人所說:「我將的話藏在心裡,免得我得罪。」(詩篇一一九:11

當你腦中知道神的話,卻不把那些話放在你的心裡,你只是學會一些關於神的原則、觀念與神學教義,你根本尚未親身認識耶穌。你能夠拒絕一條神學教義、漠視一個觀念,或是對一個原則有異議,然而,對一個人漠不關心則更困難得多。你可以有滿腦子的經文,卻仍做出得罪神的事。有些人可以背誦長篇的經文,卻仍然過著不聖潔的生活。你無論如何絕對不可能讓經文充滿你的心,卻又繼續得罪神。當神的真理觸及你靈魂的深處,聖靈會改變你,使你有耶穌基督的形像。不要只是讀聖經,要默想神的話,求祂改變你的心。


Changed through Meditation

But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night. (Psalms 1:2)

Meditation means “to think deeply and continuously about something.” For a Christian, this means remaining in the presence of God and pondering each truth He reveals about Himself until it becomes real and personal in your life. This takes time. In His Sermon on the Mount, Jesus accused certain would-be followers of calling Him “Lord” and yet never doing what He told them (Luke 6:46). They had the correct truth in their heads, but it had never translated into obedience. When you meditate on Scriptures, the truth moves from your head to your heart and results in obedience. As the Psalmist said: “Your word have I hidden in my heart, / That I might not sin against You” (Ps. 119:11).

When you know God’s Word in your mind but not in your heart, it means that you have learned the principles and concepts and doctrines of God, but you have not come to know Jesus personally. You can reject a doctrine, or ignore a concept, or challenge a principle, but it is much more difficult to ignore a Person. You can have Scripture in your mind and still sin against God. There are those who can recite long passages of Scripture and yet live ungodly lives. However, you cannot have Scripture fill your heart and continue to sin against God. When God’s truth is allowed to touch the deepest corner of your soul, the Holy Spirit will transform you into the image of Jesus Christ. Don’t just read your Bible, meditate on God’s Word and ask Him to change your heart.
