是是誰 D+ 看世界~*

前天跳掉了一段經文
導致昨天使用了今天的經文
而今天發現之後
感覺真是奇妙
因為今天一整天的經歷超過我所能想像的

還記得昨天被開罰單的事嗎
今天一早去辦了行照
結果沒有罰款也不用上課
正如昨天所默想的

『生活上的每一件事情
都是經歷過後才知道的
感謝主讓我經歷更多自己未知的問題』


今天是搬家的第四天
大致上今天已經搬完了超過一半的家當
原本的計畫是用二十天來搬家
或許是超估了時程

但是今天搬完之後
才深深的覺得
原來年輕時的體力
到現在已經消失殆盡

第一天搬完右手痠痛
第二天搬完左手開始跟進
第三天搬完感到腰痠背痛
而今天搬完才知四肢無力

再一次的讀完關於神對約伯說的鱷魚
從今天的經歷當中默想著

有時候我們都活在過去的光景裡
而忘記時間卻是一刻都沒有停留

想想我們都有當河馬與鱷魚時的風光與驕傲
若從今天的經文看來
有天那風光與驕傲都會不復存在

當你拚了命地要守住那自以為是的過去
卻忘記了那擺在你前頭即將消失的未來

是的，你我此刻作為的有何能驕傲
莫忘記神在掌管著你我的生命光景

是的，你我此刻的強壯能到幾時呢
莫忘記時間將帶走你我的精壯體力

河馬與鱷魚的生命只在一霎那間
更何況你我軟弱無助的短暫生命

若是如此
你我要勝過的就在於
如何放下自己的一切注目仰望耶穌
而不是活得像河馬與鱷魚般的自我




約伯記

41:1 你能用魚鉤釣上鱷魚嗎？能用繩子壓下牠的舌頭嗎？
"Can you draw out Levi'athan with a fishhook, or press down his tongue with a cord?
41:2 你能用繩索穿牠的鼻子嗎？能用鉤穿牠的腮骨嗎？
Can you put a rope in his nose, or pierce his jaw with a hook?
41:3 牠豈向你連連懇求，說柔和的話嗎？
Will he make many supplications to you? Will he speak to you soft words?
41:4 豈肯與你立約，使你拿牠永遠作奴僕嗎？
Will he make a covenant with you to take him for your servant for ever?
41:5 你豈可拿牠當雀鳥玩耍嗎？豈可為你的幼女將牠拴住嗎？
Will you play with him as with a bird, or will you put him on leash for your maidens?
41:6 搭夥的漁夫豈可拿牠當貨物嗎？能把牠分給商人嗎？
Will traders bargain over him? Will they divide him up among the merchants?
41:7 你能用倒鉤槍扎滿牠的皮，能用魚叉叉滿牠的頭嗎？
Can you fill his skin with harpoons, or his head with fishing spears?
41:8 你按手在牠身上，想與牠爭戰，就不再這樣行吧！
Lay hands on him; think of the battle; you will not do it again!
41:9 人指望捉拿牠是徒然的；一見牠，豈不喪膽嗎？
Behold, the hope of a man is disappointed; he is laid low even at the sight of him.
41:10 沒有那麼凶猛的人敢惹牠。這樣，誰能在我面前站立得住呢？
No one is so fierce that he dares to stir him up. Who then is he that can stand before me?
41:11 誰先給我甚麼，使我償還呢？天下萬物都是我的。
Who has given to me, that I should repay him? Whatever is under the whole heaven is mine.
41:12 論到鱷魚的肢體和其大力，並美好的骨骼，我不能緘默不言。
"I will not keep silence concerning his limbs, or his mighty strength, or his goodly frame.
41:13 誰能剝牠的外衣？誰能進牠上下牙骨之間呢？
Who can strip off his outer garment? Who can penetrate his double coat of mail?
41:14 誰能開牠的腮頰？牠牙齒四圍是可畏的。
Who can open the doors of his face? Round about his teeth is terror.
41:15 牠以堅固的鱗甲為可誇，緊緊合閉，封得嚴密。
His back is made of rows of shields, shut up closely as with a seal.
41:16 這鱗甲一一相連，甚至氣不得透入其間，
One is so near to another that no air can come between them.
41:17 都是互相聯絡、膠結，不能分離。
They are joined one to another; they clasp each other and cannot be separated.
41:18 牠打噴嚏就發出光來；牠眼睛好像早晨的光線（原文是眼皮）。
His sneezings flash forth light, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the dawn.
41:19 從牠口中發出燒著的火把，與飛迸的火星；
Out of his mouth go flaming torches; sparks of fire leap forth.
41:20 從牠鼻孔冒出煙來，如燒開的鍋和點著的蘆葦。
Out of his nostrils comes forth smoke, as from a boiling pot and burning rushes.
41:21 牠的氣點著煤炭，有火焰從牠口中發出。
His breath kindles coals, and a flame comes forth from his mouth.
41:22 牠頸項中存著勁力；在牠面前的都恐嚇蹦跳。
In his neck abides strength, and terror dances before him.
41:23 牠的肉塊互相聯絡，緊貼其身，不能搖動。
The folds of his flesh cleave together, firmly cast upon him and immovable.
41:24 牠的心結實如石頭，如下磨石那樣結實。
His heart is hard as a stone, hard as the nether millstone.
41:25 牠一起來，勇士都驚恐，心裡慌亂，便都昏迷。
When he raises himself up the mighty are afraid; at the crashing they are beside themselves.
41:26 人若用刀，用槍，用標槍，用尖槍扎牠，都是無用。
Though the sword reaches him, it does not avail; nor the spear, the dart, or the javelin.
41:27 牠以鐵為乾草，以銅為爛木。
He counts iron as straw, and bronze as rotten wood.
41:28 箭不能恐嚇牠使牠逃避；彈石在牠看為碎秸。
The arrow cannot make him flee; for him slingstones are turned to stubble.
41:29 棍棒算為禾秸；牠嗤笑短槍颼的響聲。
Clubs are counted as stubble; he laughs at the rattle of javelins.
41:30 牠肚腹下如尖瓦片；牠如釘耙經過淤泥。
His underparts are like sharp potsherds; he spreads himself like a threshing sledge on the mire.
41:31 牠使深淵開滾如鍋，使洋海如鍋中的膏油。
He makes the deep boil like a pot; he makes the sea like a pot of ointment.
41:32 牠行的路隨後發光，令人想深淵如同白髮。
Behind him he leaves a shining wake; one would think the deep to be hoary.
41:33 在地上沒有像牠造的那樣，無所懼怕。
Upon earth there is not his like, a creature without fear.
41:34 凡高大的，牠無不藐視；牠在驕傲的水族上作王。
He beholds everything that is high; he is king over all the sons of pride."
