默想圣经 Meditate on Scripture: 《诗 Ps 63: 1-11》
大卫在诗篇63篇5节写道，“我的心满足，就像饱享了骨髓肥油；我要用欢乐的嘴唇赞美祢。”想像一下，大卫王是否正在王宫享受着山珍海味、美味佳肴而感到全然满足？不是的，大卫此刻是在旷野躲避他的儿子押沙龙。当时他又饥又渴，困顿疲乏。他面临不确定的未来，可能会失去他的财产、权力和家庭。
在这种处境中，便能看透大卫心中最重要的渴慕。他所渴望的不是食欲上的满足，而是在上帝里面得到满足。在诗篇63篇1节，他说：“上帝啊！你是我的上帝，我要切切寻求你；在乾旱、疲乏、无水之地，我的心，我的身，都渴想你，切慕你。”
David wrote in Psalm 63 verse 5, “My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise you. ” Imagine whether King David was feeling completely satisfied at the palace enjoying the tasty seafood and delicious cuisine. No, David was in the desert, hiding from his son Absalom. David was hungry, thirsty and tired. He faced an uncertain future where he might lose his wealth, power and family.
In this situation, you can see through David's most
important desire. What he desired was not satisfied in appetite, but gratified in God. In Psalm 63,
verse 1, he said, "God!
You are my God, and I will seek you,
and in a dry, tired, waterless place, my heart, my body, will miss you and
admire you.
