顺从耶和华的赏报
上行之诗。
1 凡敬畏耶和华、
遵行他道的人便为有福！
2 你要吃劳碌得来的；
你要享福，事情顺利。
3 你妻子在你的内室，好像多结果子的葡萄树；
你儿女围绕你的桌子，好像橄榄栽子。
4 看哪，敬畏耶和华的人必要这样蒙福！
5 愿耶和华从锡安赐福给你！
愿你一生一世看见耶路撒冷的好处！
6 愿你看见你儿女的儿女！
愿平安归于以色列！
Having faith is trusting in the revelation of God. In other words, if I know that something is consistent with God’s mind, if I know it is consistent with His will, if I know it is consistent with His purpose, if I know it is consistent with His desire, then I believe that and I can see that come to pass. It is faith in God as God is and God as God has revealed Himself to be. And how is that appropriated?... by prayer.... As we ask consistent with God's revelation of Himself, consistent with the name of Jesus Christ and His purpose, consistent in an unselfish way to the glory of God, we can know we'll receive it.
