叁 敬畏神就是信靠祂—箴三5~8、26，十六1、9、20、33，十九21，三十5~6：一 箴言三章五至八节嘱咐我们，要全心信靠耶和华，不可倚靠自己的聪明；在我们一切的道路上，都要认定祂，祂必修直我们的途径；不要自以为有智慧；要敬畏耶和华，远离恶事；这便医治我们的身体，滋润我们的骨头。 |
Ⅲ To fear God is to trust in Him—Prov. 3:5-8, 26; 16:1, 9, 20, 33; 19:21; 30:5-6: |
二 “信靠耶和华，以耶和华为可信靠的，那人有福了。他必像树栽于水旁，沿河边扎根，炎热来到并不惧怕，叶子仍必青翠，在干旱之年毫无挂虑，而且结果不止”—耶十七7~8： |
Ａ Proverbs 3:5-8 charges us to trust in the Lord with all our heart and not rely on our own understanding; in all our ways we should acknowledge Him, and He will make our paths straight; we should not be wise in our own eyes; we should fear the Lord and depart from evil; this will be healing to our body and refreshment to our bones. |
１ 按照神的经纶，信靠神的人像树栽于水旁；这表征神乃是活水的泉源—二13。 |
Ｂ “Blessed is the man who trusts in Jehovah / And whose trust Jehovah is. / And he will be like a tree transplanted beside water, / Which sends out its roots by a stream, / And will not be afraid when heat comes; / For its leaves remain flourishing, / And it will not be anxious in the year of drought / And will not cease to bear fruit”—Jer. 17:7-8: |
２ 树在河边，借着吸取水的一切丰富而生长；这是神借着祂的分赐完成祂经纶的一幅图画；我们这些树要接受神圣的分赐，就必须吸取神这水—参林前三6。 |
１ According to God’s economy, the one who trusts in God is like a tree planted by water, signifying God as the fountain of living waters—2:13. |
３ 这位供应之神的丰富，分赐到我们这些树里面，就以神的神性将我们构成，使我们长成神的度量（西二19）；这样，我们就与神成为一，有同样的元素、素质、构成和样子（启四3，二一11）。 |
２ A tree grows beside a river by absorbing all the riches of the water; this is a picture of God’s economy, which is carried out by His dispensing; in order to receive the divine dispensing, we as the trees must absorb God as the water—cf. 1 Cor. 3:6. |
三 留心训言的必得好处，信靠主的便为有福（箴十六20）；主是我们所信靠的，祂必保守我们的脚不被缠住（三26）。 |
３ The riches of the supplying God dispensed into us as the trees constitute us with God’s divinity and cause us to grow into God’s measure (Col. 2:19); in this way we and God become one, having the same element, essence, constitution, and appearance (Rev. 4:3; 21:11). |
四 那些爱神的人，凭圣经来到主面前，借此学习敬畏神（二3~5，约五39~40）；我们受吩咐要紧紧跟随并顺从神的话，作我们敬畏神的证明（申六2）。 |
Ｃ He who gives heed to the word will find good, and blessed is he who trusts in the Lord (Prov. 16:20); the Lord will be our confidence, and He will keep our foot from being caught (3:26). |

箴三5 你要全心信靠耶和华，不可倚靠自己的聪明。 7 不要自以为有智慧；要敬畏耶和华……。 耶十七7~8 信靠耶和华，以耶和华为可信靠的，那人有福了。他必像树……沿河边扎根，……在干旱之年毫无挂虑，而且结果不止。 尊崇神也是信靠祂。箴言三章五至八节嘱咐我们，要全心信靠耶和华，不可倚靠自己的聪明；在我们一切的道路上，都要认定祂，祂必修直我们的途径。不要自以为有智慧；要敬畏耶和华，远离恶事。这便医治我们的身体，滋润我们的骨头。 我经常搭飞机旅行，许多次撒但在里面恐吓我说，我搭的飞机会失事。那时我就对主说，“主，我不在飞机里；我在你里面。你是我的飞机。”这是信靠主。 照着二十六节，耶和华是我们所信靠的，祂必保守我们的脚不被缠住。神的言语，句句都是炼净的；投靠祂的，祂便作他们的盾牌。祂的言语，我们不可加添，恐怕祂责备我们，我们就显为说谎言的（三十5~6）。我们不可改变祂的言语，照着我们的观点加添什么（箴言生命读经，一二页）。 |

按照神的经纶，信靠神的人像树栽于水旁；这表征神乃是活水的泉源（耶二13上）。树在河边，借着吸取水的一切丰富而生长。这是神借着祂的分赐完成祂经纶的一幅图画。我们这些树要接受神圣的分赐，就必须吸取神这水（参林前三6）。这位供应之神的丰富，分赐到我们这些树里面，就以神的神性将我们构成，使我们长成神的度量（西二19）。这样，我们就与神成为一， 有同样的元素、素质、构成和样子（启四3，二一11）（圣经恢复本，耶十七8注1）。 敬畏和敬虔有两面的讲究。敬畏是旧约神的百姓该有的生活，敬虔是新约神子民该有的生活。人在活神面前要有敬畏，人对复活的神要有敬虔。换句话说，这里有一位活神，需要人敬畏；而这一位神也是复活的神，需要人敬虔。在旧约里，神特别显出为活神，所以神子民特别要有敬畏。在新约里，神特别显出为复活的神，因此新约信徒特别要有敬虔。……今天我们是新约之下神的子民，因此不仅要有敬畏，还得有敬虔。这意思是，我们在生活中，不仅要显出活神，更要显出复活的神。 敬畏就是在你的生活中，没有罪，没有肉体，也没有世界；敬虔乃是你不仅没有这些，还有神调在你里面，从你里面显出来。在有的人身上，你可以看出他是敬畏的。在有的人身上，你可以看出又进一步了，他是敬虔的。在这人身上不但看不见罪、肉体和世界，反倒看见另一种奥秘的情形，好像是人，却又是神。这就是神从人里面显出来了；这就是敬虔。 使徒保罗说，要操练自己以至于敬虔（提前四7）。这意思是告诉我们，在一切的生活上，一面要敬畏，不敢动肉体，不敢摸罪，不敢有世界；另一面，还要随从神，而活出神。无论什么时候，神若不动，我就不动；神动了，我才动。这是一个非常大的功课，需要我们好好学习，好好操练（活神与复活的神，三七、四○页）。 参读：活神与复活的神，第一、四篇；箴言生命读经，第三、五篇。 |
Prov. 3:5 Trust in Jehovah with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding. 7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear Jehovah… Jer. 17:7-8 Blessed is the man who trusts in Jehovah and whose trust Jehovah is. And he will be like a tree…, which sends out its roots by a stream,… and it will not be anxious in the year of drought and will not cease to bear fruit. To revere God is also to trust in Him. Proverbs 3:5-8 charges us to trust in Jehovah with all our heart and not to rely on our own understanding. In all our ways we should acknowledge Him, and He will make our paths straight. We should not be wise in our own eyes; we should fear Jehovah and depart from evil. This will be healing to our body and refreshment to our bones. In my frequent travels by airplane, many times Satan has threatened me within by saying that my plane would crash. At those times I spoke to the Lord, saying, “Lord, I am not in a plane; I am in You. You are my plane.” This is to trust in the Lord. According to 3:26, Jehovah will be our confidence, and He will keep our foot from being caught. Every word of God is tried; He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him. We should not add to His words, lest He reprove us and we be found a liar (30:5-6). We must not change His word by adding something to it according to our point of view. (Life-study of Proverbs, pp. 8-9) |
