【064】今日灵粮 Spiritual FOOD TODAY：将神放在我们生命的首位, 每天遵循祂的话语和教导 Place God First in Our Life and Follow His Word and Teachings Every Day

【SCRIPTURE 经文】：你当倚靠耶和华而行善，住在地上，以他的信实为粮；又要以耶和华为乐，他就将你心里所求的赐给你。当将你的事交托耶和华，并倚靠他，他就必成全; Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this. (诗篇 Psalm 37:3-5)

【SHARING 分享】:《今日灵粮 Spiritual FOOD TODAY》中分享的经文是诗篇 37:3-5。许多牧师都讲解过这段出自大卫王的经文，其中蕴含着永恒的智慧，教导我们如何在人生的不确定中信靠神，而不是忧虑邪恶，从而将神放在我们生命的首位，并每日遵行祂的话语和教导。这段经文敦促我们信徒积极地信靠神，行善，在祂里面找到满足，并将我们的人生道路交托给祂，寻求祂的指引。

圣经学者进一步解释说，将神放在首位意味着在生活的方方面面 —— 决策、时间管理和人际关系 —— 都将祂放在首位，而不是将祂视为可有可无的选择。这包括每日祷告、研读圣经和顺服祂的教导，使我们的生命与祂的旨意相符，从而获得平安和祂所应许的供应。这种承诺要求我们改变日常习惯，远离金钱、贪婪和财富等世俗偶像，转而将神放在我们每日的思想中，从而建立更深厚、更顺服、更充满爱的关系。这种生活方式所蕴含的应许是：神必供应你的需要，减轻你的焦虑，并赐予你生命的意义与平安。当你因祂而喜乐，并跟随我们对耶稣基督的信仰时，神应许满足你“心中的渴望”。这并非意味着你会得到你想要的一切；而是意味着，当你因神而喜乐时，你的渴望将与祂的旨意相符，祂必满足你新的、属神的渴望，特别是祂的救恩，并赐予你永生的恩赐和祝福，使你们能够在祂的儿子耶稣基督第二次降临时与祂同在。

鲍勃牧师和黛比加斯夫人曾在他们的博客上分享了一篇题为《神的话语至关重要》的文章。鲍勃牧师引用了《历代志下 34 章》，特别是第 30 节，其中犹大王约西亚召集所有百姓，亲自向他们宣读神的律法，引导他们重拾遵循神话语原则的决心。牧师鼓励我们不要错过这个机会！不读神的话语，不遵行神的教导，会导致神的子民陷入偶像崇拜。任何你置于神之上的事物都是 “偶像”。有时，偶像崇拜是你明知故犯的罪。但它也可能是一些看似完全合理的事物：一份工作、一段关系，或一项爱好。

在圣经中，我们找到了神为我们人生设定的优先事项。如果我们忽略阅读、学习和默想神的教导，最终只会专注于自己的利益，而忽略神为我们设定的优先事项，这会导致我们今生的堕落，以及将来与神同在的永生。例如：（1）诗篇 100:3 提醒我们，耶和华是神；祂创造了我们，我们属于祂；是的，神创造了你。但这并非全部。这并非我们把祂放在生命首位的唯一原因；（2）在申命记 30:19-20 中，摩西揭示了一个我们有时会忽略的伟大真理。当他劝勉以色列人忠于神时，他特别提醒神的子民，就像我们这些信徒一样：“你们要拣选生命，使你们和你们的后裔都得存活。要爱耶和华你们的神，听从祂的话，倚靠祂，因为祂是你们的生命，你们的生命必长久。” 因此，让我们都得 “将神放在我们生命的首位, 每天遵循祂的话语和教导 ” 。

The scripture shared in《今日灵粮 Spiritual FOOD TODAY》 is Psalm 37:3-5. Many pastors have explained this passage from King David, which contains timeless wisdom, teaching us how to trust God in the uncertainties of life, rather than worrying about evil, thus placing God first in our lives and obeying His word and teachings daily. This passage urges us believers to actively trust in God, do good, find satisfaction in Him, and entrust our life's path to Him, seeking His guidance.

Biblical scholars further explain that placing God first means prioritizing Him in all aspects of life — decision-making, time management, and relationships — rather than treating Him as an optional choice. This includes daily prayer, Bible study, and obedience to His teachings, aligning our lives with His will to obtain peace and receive His promised provision. This commitment requires us to change our daily habits, turning away from worldly idols such as money, greed, and wealth, and instead keeping God in our daily thoughts, thereby building deeper, more obedient, and more loving relationships. The promise inherent in this lifestyle is that God will provide for your needs, alleviate your anxieties, and give you meaning and peace in your life. When you rejoice in Him and follow our faith in Jesus Christ, God promises to satisfy your “heart’s desires.” This doesn’t mean you will get everything you want; rather, it means that when you rejoice in God, your desires will align with His will, and He will satisfy your new, divine desires, especially His salvation, and grant you the gift and blessing of eternal life so that you may be able to be with His Son, Jesus Christ, at His Second Coming.

Pastor Rev. Bob Gass and Mrs. Debbie Gass shared an article in their blog entitled “The Word of God Matters.” Pastor Gass quoted 2 Chronicles 34, particularly verse 30, where King Josiah of Judah gathered all his people and personally read God’s law to them, guiding them to regain their resolve to follow the principles of God’s word. The pastor encourages us not to miss this opportunity! Failure to read God’s word and follow His teachings can lead God’s people into idolatry. Anything you place above God is an “idol.” Sometimes, idolatry is a sin you commit knowingly. But it can also be something that seems perfectly reasonable: a job, a relationship, or a hobby.

In the Bible, we find the priorities God has set for our lives. If we neglect to read, study, and meditate on God’s teachings, we end up focusing only on our own interests and ignoring the priorities God has set for us, leading to our downfall in this life and our eternal life with God in the future. For example: (1) Psalm 100:3 reminds us that the Lord is God; He created us, and we belong to Him; yes, God created you. But that’s not all. It’s not the only reason we put Him first in our lives; (2) In Deuteronomy 30:19-20, Moses reveals a great truth that we sometimes overlook. When he exhorted the Israelites to be faithful to God, he especially reminded God's people, like us believers: "Choose life, that you and your offspring may live. Love the Lord your God, obey his voice and trust in him, for he is your life and your long life." Therefore, let us all "Place God First in Our Life and Follow His Word and Teachings Every Day."
