【诗111:10】“敬畏耶和华是智慧的开端；凡遵行他诫命的，获得聪明。耶和华是应当赞美的，直到永远！” 【Psa 110:10】“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise.”

圣经告诉我们：“敬畏耶和华是智慧的开端。”如果不敬畏主，我们连智慧之路的起点都还没有踏出。The Bible tells us that “the fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom.” This means that without the fear of the Lord, we have not even begun to walk on the path of true wisdom.敬畏主并不是指惧怕神并逃离祂。而是指认清神是谁——祂是圣洁、公义、大有能力且值得我们完全顺服的神。The fear of the Lord does not mean being terrified of God and running away from Him. It means seeing God for who He truly is—holy, righteous, powerful, and worthy of our complete obedience.这是一种对造物主极深的尊崇，使我们对祂的话语产生敬畏，远离任何不讨祂喜悦的事。It is a deep reverence for God that causes us to take His Word seriously and turn away from anything that displeases Him.

箴言 8:13 说：“敬畏耶和华，在乎恨恶邪恶。” Proverbs 8:13 says, “To fear the LORD is to hate evil.” 敬畏主不单只是一种感觉，它会改变我们的生活方式。Therefore, the fear of the Lord is not merely something we feel; it changes the way we live.当我们真正敬畏神时，我们不再想着：“我想要什么？”或“别人怎么想？” When we truly fear God, we no longer ask, “What do I want?” or “What does everyone else think?” 相反，我们开始问：“主啊，怎样才能讨祢的喜悦？” Instead, we begin to ask, “Lord, what pleases You?” 这就是为什么箴言 14:27 说：“敬畏耶和华是生命的泉源，可以使人离开死亡的网罗。” That is why Proverbs 14:27 says, “The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, turning a person from the snares of death.” 敬畏神实际上是在保护我们。The fear of God actually protects us.它使我们远离那些眼看很好、但最终通往捆绑、毁灭和死亡的道路。It keeps us from paths that may look attractive but eventually lead to bondage, destruction, and death.

诗篇 111 篇也将智慧与顺服联系在一起：“凡遵行他诫命的，就得聪明智慧。” Psalm 111 also connects wisdom with obedience: “all who follow his precepts have good understanding.”我们不会因为多知道了一些圣经知识就变得有智慧。而是当我们顺服神的话时，我们的聪明就会加增。We do not become wise simply by knowing more of the Bible. Understanding grows as we obey what God has already shown us.当我们放下自己的意思、遵行祂的话语而行时，我们就开始从祂的角度来看待人生。As we surrender our own ways and walk according to His Word, we begin to see life from His perspective.

世人说：“要凡事顺你的心。” 但敬畏神却说：“要顺从祂的话。”  The world says, “Follow your heart.” But the fear of the Lord says, “Follow His Word.” 世人说：“要做你自己觉得对的事。” 但智慧却说：“你要专心仰赖耶和华，不可倚靠自己的聪明”（箴言 3:5）。The world says, “Do what feels right to you.” But wisdom says, “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding” (Proverbs 3:5).

所以今天让我们省察自己：我真的敬畏主吗？So let us ask ourselves today: Do I truly fear the Lord?当祂的话语指责我的欲望、观点或思维方式时，我会选择哪一个？When His Word confronts my desires, opinions, or ways of thinking, which one do I choose?

让我们来祷告：Let's pray:

天父，求你教导我来敬畏你和行在你的智慧里。Father, teach me to fear You and to walk in Your wisdom.谢谢你借着耶稣基督和十字架向我显明神的智慧和能力。Thank You for revealing Your wisdom and power through Jesus Christ and the cross. 帮助我不要自己觉得自己有智慧，而是让我的想法，欲望，决定顺服你的话。Help me not to be wise in our own eyes, but to surrender our thoughts, desires, and decisions to Your Word.

圣灵，提醒我要背起自己的十字架，舍己意思，来忠心跟随你。Holy Spirit, remind me of taking up my cross daily, laying down my own ways to follow Jesus faithfully. 以至于我的生命可以彰显出你的智慧，活出永恒的赞美人生，阿门！ So that my life may reflect Your wisdom and bring You eternal praise. Amen.
