何为智慧?怎么把主的话存在心里?以前我以为只要自己多读多想,但保罗讲的不仅是在个人的灵修默想里,更是需要在生活中,在教会团契中操练。What is wisdom? And how do we store the Lord’s word in our hearts? I used to think it simply meant reading more and thinking more by myself. But Paul is talking about more than private devotions. It must be practised in daily life and in the fellowship of the church. 圣经说敬畏耶和华是智慧的开端。敬畏不是害怕,而是承认神比我更大、更了解人生的方向。基督就是神的智慧,现在正以圣灵住在我们里面。Scripture says the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom—not fear as in terror, but recognising that God is greater, wiser, and truly knows the direction of our lives. Christ is the wisdom of God, and He now lives in us through the Holy Spirit.
保罗延伸了诗篇的教训。诗篇 1 说,要昼夜思想神的话;诗篇 119 说,神的话存在心里,使人有智慧。Paul expands what the Psalms teach. Psalm 1 says to meditate on God’s word day and night; Psalm 119 says storing God’s word in our hearts makes us wise. 在新约里,这不只是一个人去默想,而是教会众肢体一同思考、交通、祷告、一同聚会敬拜,在环境里一同操练神的话。In the New Testament this becomes something shared—a life lived together in Christ’s body: thinking together, sharing together, praying together, gathering and worshipping together, and practising God’s word in real situations. 原来基督的话住在我心里,是因我活在一个被祂的话共同塑造的群体中。教会众肢体同心合一让基督作主。圣灵喜悦在基督的身体里运行,将神话语里面藏着的智慧和启示释放出来。Christ’s word dwells in me richly because I live within a community shaped and formed by His word. When the church is united and Christ is Lord among us, the Holy Spirit delights to work—releasing wisdom and revelation hidden in God’s word.
这些彼此教导、互相劝戒的时刻,就是神把祂的话写进我们众人心里的方式。我发现,在环境中运用智慧,就是让圣灵把我在教会里听见、接受、被提醒的话语,在考试来临时,让我想起来。These moments where we teach and encourage one another are the very ways God writes His word into all our hearts. I’ve found that using wisdom in daily life means allowing the Holy Spirit to bring to mind what I heard, received, or was reminded of in church when the moment of testing comes. 当我面对冲突时,会想到要柔和谦卑;当我感到挫折时,会想到要倚靠神;当我看到需要时,会想到要伸出手去……我越活出基督的话,祂的话就越丰丰富富住在我里面,且有能力。When I face conflict, I remember gentleness and humility; when I feel discouraged, I remember to trust God; when I see a need, I remember to reach out… The more I live out Christ’s word, the more richly and powerfully His word lives in me.
主耶稣,求你让我在敬畏你、恨恶罪中,得着更多圣灵的运行和开启,更有智慧去行道。帮助我不只是知道你的话,而是让你的话更丰富地住在我心里、活在我生活中。Lord Jesus, help me walk in the fear of You and hatred of sin, so that I may receive more of the Spirit’s working and wisdom to obey Your word. Help me not only to know Your word but to let it live richly in my heart and daily life. 也求你使用教会,让我们更深委身在你的身体里、在众肢体的聚会、交通、团契、祷告、敬拜中,更多看见基督,明白你的话。Use the church to draw us deeper into Your body—into fellowship, sharing, prayer, and worship—so that we may see Christ more clearly and understand Your word more deeply. 愿教会更多被圣灵充满,众肢体心中涌出感恩和赞美、让圣灵在基督的身体里自由运行,挑旺肢体们的恩赐,感动肢体唱灵歌、说颂词、一口一心、彼此相爱合一。May our church be increasingly filled with the Holy Spirit, overflowing with gratitude and praise. Stir up the gifts within the body, prompting spiritual songs, hymns, and psalms—so that with one voice and one heart, we love one another. 像使徒时代,在感恩中,用诗章、颂词、灵歌彼此对说,口唱心和地赞美主。(弗5:19)As in the early church, may we speak to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making music in our hearts to the Lord (Ephesians 5:19).
