“比較”是一種莫名的心態

人喜歡比較

比較錢財
比較身材
比較擁有的一切
比較你內在所慾望所祈求的
......

基督徒也有喜歡比較的

比較教會的規模
比較牧師的講道
比較會友的愛心
比較你內在所期待所盼望的
......

今天的經文裡

上帝告訴約伯去看看河馬
它的一切是神所給予
人不須與其它的受造物比較
因為任何的受造物都是神的心意

我們很難知道神的心意
但你我卻容易因此比較了起來
但神所提醒的卻是讓我們看見祂的心意
因為任何的比較都在在的傷害自己

比較為你我帶來更多的失望

比較也為你我帶來更多的悲傷

是否可以活在沒有比較的快樂裡

遠離比較所造成的忌妒與懼怕

唯有如此

你我的內心才會過得健康與安詳


遠離比較

確信神超然的旨意與命定

是幫助我們面對自己生命的最好方式



約伯記

40:15 你且觀看河馬；我造你也造牠。牠吃草與牛一樣；
"Behold, Be'hemoth, which I made as I made you; he eats grass like an ox.
40:16 牠的氣力在腰間，能力在肚腹的筋上。
Behold, his strength in his loins, and his power in the muscles of his belly.
40:17 牠搖動尾巴如香柏樹；牠大腿的筋互相聯絡。
He makes his tail stiff like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are knit together.
40:18 牠的骨頭好像銅管；牠的肢體彷彿鐵棍。
His bones are tubes of bronze, his limbs like bars of iron.
40:19 牠在　神所造的物中為首；創造牠的給牠刀劍。
"He is the first of the works of God; let him who made him bring near his sword!
40:20 諸山給牠出食物，也是百獸遊玩之處。
For the mountains yield food for him where all the wild beasts play.
40:21 牠伏在蓮葉之下，臥在蘆葦隱密處和水窪子裡。
Under the lotus plants he lies, in the covert of the reeds and in the marsh.
40:22 蓮葉的陰涼遮蔽牠；溪旁的柳樹環繞牠。
For his shade the lotus trees cover him; the willows of the brook surround him.
40:23 河水泛濫，牠不發戰；就是約旦河的水漲到牠口邊，也是安然。
Behold, if the river is turbulent he is not frightened; he is confident though Jordan rushes against his mouth.
40:24 在牠防備的時候，誰能捉拿牠？誰能牢籠牠穿牠的鼻子呢？
Can one take him with hooks, or pierce his nose with a snare?
