【双语灵修】读懂受造界的语言 "You Can Be A Translator"

音频

“无言无语，也无声音可听。他的量带通遍天下，他的言语传到地极。” - 诗 19:3-4

在我高中的第一堂德语课上，我学习问路：“请问邮局在哪里？”如果我在德国，需要邮寄一封信回家，我需要询问："Wo ist das Post, bitte?" 如果你到语言不熟悉的国家旅行，你就知道学会当地的一些基本用语是多么重要。

但是我们如何学习一种没有词汇和声音的语言呢？诗篇19篇教导我们，诸天和穹苍无言无语，但它们的声音却传到地极，启示真理。

有些人从未注意到这种语言，但也有些人懂得学习它，而且能理解它。神使他们察觉到，世界万物有一位奇妙的创造主。诸天述说神的荣耀，而神的灵使我们能明白。有洞察力的心灵能看到并听到神在祂所创造的一切事物中的作为。我们可以为着所有受造世界赞美神。

我们抬头仰望天空，我们低头俯看花朵。或观看群星，或细嗅玫瑰，它们都在向我们宣告，全能的神用祂的创造之手给我们带来了令人赞叹的奇观。

荣耀归于上帝！

祷告

创造之神，掌管我们所看、所听、所触和所闻的一切事物的主宰，感谢你赐给我们这个奇妙的世界，让我们生活在其中并治理全地。我们赞美你大有能力之名。阿们。

诗篇 19:1-6

1诸天述说神的荣耀，穹苍传扬他的手段。
2这日到那日发出言语，这夜到那夜传出知识。
3无言无语，也无声音可听。
4他的量带通遍天下，他的言语传到地极。神在其间为太阳安设帐幕，
5太阳如同新郎出洞房，又如勇士欢然奔路。
6它从天这边出来，绕到天那边，没有一物被隐藏不得他的热气。

"You Can Be A Translator"

"They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them. Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world." - Psalm 19:3-4

In my first German-language lesson in high school, I was taught to ask, "Where is the post office, please?" If I were in Germany and needed to mail a letter home, I would need to ask, "Wo ist das Post, bitte?" If you travel to countries where the language is unfamiliar, you know how important it is to learn some basics in the local language.

But how do we learn a language that has no words and no sounds? Psalm 19 teaches us that the language of the heavens and the skies has no words, yet their voice goes out to the ends of the earth, revealing knowledge.

Some never notice it, but others learn and understand. God has gifted them to observe that creation has an amazing Creator. The heavens declare the glory of God, and the Spirit of God helps us understand. A discerning mind sees and hears God's hand in all he has created. And we can praise God for all these things.

Look up at the heavens. Look down at the flowers. See the stars and smell the roses. They all proclaim that the mighty God has graced us with breathtaking displays of his creative hand.

To God be the glory!

Prayer

God of creation, Lord of all that we see and hear and touch and smell, thank you for this great world you have given us to live in and care for. We praise your great and powerful name. Amen.
