2012 禁食日记 – 第十五天：“那棵树” 2012 Fasting Diary – Day 15: “That tree”
第十五天（21/08/12）
“他要像一棵树，栽在溪水旁，按时候结果子，叶子也不枯干，凡他所做的，尽都顺利。”
～ 诗篇 1:3 ～
我们都希望能得着以上诗1：3的应许，按时候结果子即表示：该有什么样的反应就有什么反应、一缺乏什么就会有什么、该有什么样的收获就有什么样的收获等等；再者，所做的“尽都顺利”的意思是“发达亨通”。。。
然而，为什么太多时候我们都没看到自己结出这样的生命或果子？其实，答案很简单，还没抵达终点，一定先有起点和必须经过的过程，但我们往往不喜欢这种起点或过程，所以想越过或走捷径，因此所抵达的终点当然不一样。。。
该遵行的步骤与走的路是一定要走过的。。。
“不从恶人的计谋，不站罪人的道路，不坐亵慢人的座位，
2 唯喜爱耶和华的律法，昼夜思想，这人便为有福！
3 他要像一棵树，栽在溪水旁，按时候结果子，叶子也不枯干，凡他所做的，尽都顺利。”
～ 诗篇 1:1-3 ～
Day 15 (21/08/12)
“He is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither.
Whatever he does prospers.”
~ Psalm 1:3 ~
How we all wish we can receive the promise the promise of Psalm 1:3 above, yielding its fruit in season means: we will have the right response when needed, we will have what we are lacking at the right time, we will harvest what we should be harvesting etc etc; also, we should be prosperous in whatever we are doing…
However, why is it that so often we do not see ourselves bearing such life and fruit? Actually the answer is very simple, before we reach the destination, there is always a starting point and necessary process or journey to go through, but normally we do not like the beginning or process, so we want to by-pass or find a shortcut which in the end causes us to arrive at a different destination of course…
We must really go through the steps to be followed and the path that is necessary…
“1 Blessed is the man
who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked
or stand in the way of sinners
or sit in the seat of mockers.
2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
and on his law he meditates day and night.
3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither.
Whatever he does prospers.”
~ Psalm 1:1-3 ~
