Rich treasures of God’s truth are waiting to be discovered in His Word.

圣经中的真理宝藏，正等着你我去发掘！

I rejoice in following your statutes as one rejoices in great riches. Psalm 119:14

我喜悦祢的法度，如同喜悦一切的财物。-诗篇119篇14节

Perhaps you’ve seen the TV ad in which a person answers the door and finds someone who hands over a check for an enormous amount of money. Then the amazed recipient begins shouting, dancing, jumping, and hugging everyone in sight. “I won! I’m rich! I can’t believe it! My problems are solved!” Striking it rich evokes a great emotional response.

也许你曾经看过这样的电视广告：某人听见敲门声就去应门，门一打开，立即有人交给他一张巨额支票。然后，这个人欣喜若狂地又叫又跳、手舞足蹈，并拥抱周遭的每一个人，喊着说：“我中奖了！我有钱了！我的天哪！问题都解决了！”的确，瞬间致富，足以让人产生极大的情绪反应。

In Psalm 119, the longest chapter in the Bible, we find this remarkable statement: “I rejoice in following your statutes as one rejoices in great riches” (v. 14). What a comparison! Obeying God’s instructions for living can be just as exhilarating as receiving a fortune! Verse 16 repeats this refrain as the psalmist expresses grateful gladness for the Lord’s commands. “I delight in your decrees; I will not neglect your word.”

诗篇119篇是圣经中最长的一章，其中特别值得注意的经文，包括“我喜悦祢的法度，如同喜悦一切的财物”（14节） ，这是多妙的对比呀！在生活中遵行上帝的命令，竟像中大奖一样令人高兴！诗人在16节又再次重申，主的命令带给他极大的喜乐，他说：“我要在祢的律例中自乐，我不忘记祢的话。”

But what if we don’t feel that way? How can delighting in God’s instructions for living be just as exhilarating as receiving a fortune? It all begins with gratitude, which is both an attitude and a choice. We pay attention to what we value, so we begin by expressing our gratitude for those gifts of God that nourish our souls. We ask Him to open our eyes to see the storehouse of wisdom, knowledge, and peace He has given us in His Word.

但万一我们没有这样的感觉呢？在生活中以遵行上帝的命令为乐，怎么会像中奖一般令人振奋呢？其实，一切皆源自于感恩。这是一种态度，也是一个选择。我们常会留意自己所看重的事，因此我们可以选择为上帝赐下的话语感恩，因为祂的话语使我们的心灵得滋润。我们也应当求祂开启我们的眼睛，看见祂话语中的智慧，知识和平安。

As our love for Jesus grows each day, we indeed strike it rich!

当我们对耶稣的爱与日俱增，我们才真的富有！

Dear Father, open our eyes that we may see 

wonderful things in Your law. 

Thank You that Your instructions give 

wise advice.

亲爱的天父，求祢开我们的眼，

让我们看见祢律法中的奇妙。

祢的训词给了我们智慧的提醒，

我们感谢祢。

Psalm 119:9-16New International Version (NIV)

? Beth

9 How can a young person stay on the path of purity?
    By living according to your word.
10 I seek you with all my heart;
    do not let me stray from your commands.
11 I have hidden your word in my heart
    that I might not sin against you.
12 Praise be to you, Lord;
    teach me your decrees.
13 With my lips I recount
    all the laws that come from your mouth.
14 I rejoice in following your statutes
    as one rejoices in great riches.
15 I meditate on your precepts
    and consider your ways.
16 I delight in your decrees;
    I will not neglect your word.

诗篇 119:9-16Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified) (CUVMPS)

珍重耶和华话语者得免犯罪

9 少年人用什么洁净他的行为呢？是要遵行你的话。
10 我一心寻求了你，求你不要叫我偏离你的命令。
11 我将你的话藏在心里，免得我得罪你。
12 耶和华啊，你是应当称颂的，求你将你的律例教训我。
13 我用嘴唇传扬你口中的一切典章。
14 我喜悦你的法度，如同喜悦一切的财物。
15 我要默想你的训词，看重你的道路。
16 我要在你的律例中自乐，我不忘记你的话。
