【诗28:5】他们既然不留心耶和华所行的和他手所做的，他就必毁坏他们，不建立他们。【Psalm 28:5】Because they have no regard for the deeds of the Lord and what his hands have done, he will tear them down and never build them up again.

大卫的一生，是敬畏神的一生。他在各种环境、从周围的人身上，不断地观察、求问，学会认识神。他不仅认识神的性情，更深刻认识神做事的法则。David lived a life marked by reverence for God. In every situation, and through the people around him, he observed carefully, sought understanding, and learned to know God. He came not only to recognise God’s character but also to understand the principles by which God works. 大卫深知，照着神的法则行事为人，就凡事蒙福；若不照神的法则，就会沦为属灵的瞎子，处处碰壁却不明所以，只能陷在抱怨苦毒和怨天尤人中。David knew that those who live according to God’s ways experience His blessing, while those who ignore His ways become spiritually blind—constantly stumbling without understanding why, and often trapped in complaint and bitterness.

面对那些口蜜腹剑、危害他性命的恶人，大卫虽身陷险境，却学到了宝贵的功课：神不喜悦我们以恶报恶，而是要我们回到做人的本分，将伸冤审判的主权上交给神。When confronted by enemies who spoke kindly yet intended harm, David found himself in great danger, yet he learned a vital lesson: God does not desire that we repay evil with evil. Instead, we are to entrust justice and judgment to Him. 因此，大卫拒绝被恶同化，拒绝自行报复，而是第一时间来到神面前，将痛苦化为对神公义的交托。他愿意让内心先被神的公义和怜悯掌权。在恳切的呼求中，他体悟到神有丰富的怜悯，总给罪人留出充分的时间、反省悔改的机会。David refused to be shaped by the wickedness around him and refused personal revenge. Instead he brought his pain before God and entrusted the matter to God’s justice. He allowed God’s righteousness and mercy to govern his heart first. Through earnest prayer he recognised that God is rich in mercy, giving sinners time and space to repent. 然而大卫也看清了真相：那些看见神的作为却藐视神法则、不留心神作为的人，终将自食其果。神必亲自拆毁，不建立他们。正是这份对神公义法则的定见，让大卫从极深的惧怕中苏醒，重新回到信心里发出赞美。Yet he also understood that those who see God’s works yet disregard His ways will eventually face the consequences. God Himself will bring them down and not establish them. This understanding of God’s righteous order lifted David from deep fear and restored his confidence to praise.

神怜悯公义的属灵法则，在以色列的历史中宛如一面警戒的镜子。以色列人亲历了红海神迹、云柱火柱的引领，神手的作为清晰可见。Throughout Israel’s history, God’s pattern of mercy and justice stands like a warning mirror. The Israelites saw the Red Sea parted and were led by the pillar of cloud and fire—God’s works were unmistakable. 然而每当遇到旷野的挑战，他们的第一反应却是“回埃及去”。他们虽亲历救赎，却从不留心神做事的法则，在持续悖逆中不断重蹈覆辙，惹发了神的义怒，最终招致了旷野的毁灭——神必毁坏他们，不建立他们。Yet when challenges arose in the wilderness, their instinct was to say, “Let us go back to Egypt.” Although they had witnessed deliverance, they did not learn God’s ways. Their continued rebellion repeated the same failures and provoked God’s righteous judgment, leading to destruction in the wilderness—God did not establish them.

在大卫众多的敌人中，最令人唏嘘的是扫罗。这位曾被膏抹的君王本有最好的开始，却在关键时刻不留心耶和华所行的。他留心人的称赞、留心自己的王位，胜过了留心神。Among David’s opponents, Saul’s story is perhaps the most tragic. Once anointed as king, he began with great promise but failed at decisive moments to recognise what the LORD was doing. He listened more to human praise and the security of his throne than to God. 一个人一旦只关注权力与报复、陷在仇恨、嫉妒里，无视神在历史中、生命里持续彰显的作为，结局往往就是崩塌。因为不留心神的人，神也必不建立他。When a person becomes consumed with power, revenge, jealousy, and resentment while ignoring God’s work in history and in life, the end is often downfall. Those who disregard God cannot expect God to establish them.

主啊，你的心意从未改变，你何等渴望我们真正认识你！你借着律法、历史、先知，无数看得见的恩典，不断向我们宣示你的法则。Lord, Your purpose has never changed. You long for us to truly know You. Through the law, through history, through the prophets, and through countless acts of grace, You continually reveal Your ways to us. 我们对你作为的态度，决定了人生截然不同的结局：敬畏并留心你作为的人，你必建立并赐下拯救；而刻意忽视、拒绝顺服你主权的人，必面临公义的审判。Our response to Your works shapes the direction of our lives: those who honour You and pay attention to what You are doing will be strengthened and saved, but those who deliberately ignore or resist Your authority will face righteous judgment.

我们活在地上，最深的意义就是认识你，让属灵生命长大。这需要我们刻意、主动地在每一天、每一步中，留心你的管教，留心你的劝诫与警告，留心你每日手所做的每一件事。The deepest purpose of our life on earth is to know You and to grow in spiritual maturity. This calls for intentional attention—day by day, step by step—to Your discipline, Your guidance, Your warnings, and the works of Your hand around us. 主啊，愿我成为那“留心之人”，在你的作为中认识你，在你的法则里刚强行事。愿更多的人能认识，那独一的真神和祂所差来的耶稣基督，一生被神建立，以丰盛的生命进入神的国。Lord, may I be someone who truly pays attention, learning to recognise You through what You do and to live according to Your ways. May many more people come to know the one true God and Jesus Christ whom He has sent, be established by God throughout their lives, and enter His kingdom with abundant life.
