【诗139:13-14】我的肺腑是你所造的。我在母腹中，你已覆庇我。我要称谢你，因我受造奇妙可畏。你的作为奇妙，这是我心深知道的。【Psa139:13-14 NIV】For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

诗篇139篇让我们看见大卫对神深刻的认识。Psalm 139 shows us David’s deep knowledge of God.他从思想神无所不知、无所不在的属性，进一步看见自己的生命从起初就在神的创造和看顾之中，因而发出由衷的称谢。As he reflects on God’s omniscience and omnipresence, he comes to see that his life has been under God’s creation and care from the very beginning, and this leads him to heartfelt thanksgiving.他说：“我的肺腑是你所造的。我在母腹中，你已覆庇我。”在他未成形、尚未出生时，神已经在暗中创造他、看顾他。He says, “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.” Before he was fully formed and before he was born, God was already creating him in secret and watching over him.

大卫经历过追杀、逃亡和患难，也经历过犯罪、失败和神的管教。David experienced being hunted down, fleeing for his life, and suffering. He also experienced sin, failure, and God’s discipline.然而，他仍然称谢神，因为他的信心不是建立在他的表现或环境是否顺利，而是建立在神是谁，以及神的作为何等奇妙。Yet he still gave thanks to God, because his faith was not based on his own performance or on whether his circumstances were going well, but on who God is and how wonderful His works are.当他看见自己的生命从起初就在神手中，就不再单凭自己的成败衡量生命，而是从创造主的眼光认识自己。When he saw that his life had been in God’s hands from the very beginning, he no longer measured his life simply by his successes and failures, but began to understand himself from the perspective of his Creator.

他向主发出赞美：“我要称谢你，因我受造奇妙可畏。你的作为奇妙，这是我心深知道的。”这里最触动人心的是“我心深知道”。He praises the Lord: “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” What is most moving here is, “I know that full well.”即使在环境不如意、自己仍有软弱和不明白时，他内心依然相信神是可信的。Even when his circumstances were difficult, and even when he still had weaknesses and things he did not understand, deep within his heart he continued to believe that God was trustworthy.当这份认识进入生命深处，称谢就不再只是顺境中的感恩，而是在任何环境中，他心坚定，深知神在他身上一定有奇妙的作为和计划，就向神发出称谢和敬拜。When this conviction entered deeply into his life, thanksgiving was no longer something expressed only in favourable circumstances. In every situation, his heart remained steadfast, knowing deeply that God surely had wonderful works and purposes for his life, and so he offered thanksgiving and worship to God.

反观自己，我却常常习惯拿自己与别人比较：为什么我没有别人那般能力？为什么我有这样的性格？为什么我会经历这些伤害与挫折？When I look at myself, however, I often find that I am used to comparing myself with others: Why am I not as capable as others? Why do I have this kind of personality? Why have I gone through these hurts and setbacks?有时候，我甚至难以接纳自己的过去。大卫的赞美如同一把亮光照亮了我——原来我每一个人都是神独特的创造。At times, I even find it difficult to accept my own past. David’s praise shines like a light upon me—it helps me realise that every one of us is God’s unique creation.神创造我，在我身上本就有祂美善的计划，也给了我独特的恩赐与呼召，我不需要在自卑或自傲中挣扎，只需要在祂的创造里感恩安息，完成祂的呼召。God created me, and He has His good purposes for my life. He has also given me unique gifts and a calling. I do not need to struggle with either inferiority or pride; I simply need to rest with gratitude in the way He has created me and fulfil the calling He has given me.

祷告 | Prayer

亲爱的天父：Dear Heavenly Father:

求祢赦免我常常用世人的标准评价自己，以自我的成败衡量生命。Please forgive me for so often judging myself by the standards of the world and measuring my life by my own successes and failures.求圣灵开启我的心，使我不只是头脑知道自己是祢所造的，更从心深处相信祢认识我、看顾我，也愿意继续塑造我。Holy Spirit, please open my heart so that I will not only know in my mind that I was created by You, but also believe deep within my heart that You know me, care for me, and are willing to continue shaping me.求祢除去我里面的骄傲、自卑和自我证明，使我不再高举自己，也不再轻看自己，而是存敬畏的心将生命交在祢手中。Please remove the pride, inferiority, and desire to prove myself that are within me, so that I will neither exalt myself nor look down on myself, but instead entrust my life into Your hands with reverence.

感谢祢，让我成为基督的身体、教会的一份子。Thank You for making me a part of the body of Christ, the Church.圣灵啊，求祢教导我，以神的眼光看自己、看别人，在基督里学习接纳、悔改和成长。祢对我的看顾，从来不是因为我表现得足够好，而是因为我是基督身体上的肢体。Holy Spirit, please teach me to see myself and others through God’s eyes, and to learn in Christ to accept, repent, and grow. Your care for me has never been because I have performed well enough, but because I am a member of the body of Christ.我有长处，也有短处；但在基督的身体里，所有的肢体都彼此搭配，相互扶持，百节各按其职，彼此成全，在爱中被建造。I have strengths and I have weaknesses; but in the body of Christ, all the members are joined together and support one another, each part doing its work, building one another up and being built up in love.

主啊，这让我更深明白，我们每一个肢体都是祢奇妙可畏的创造！我要不住地称谢祢、赞美祢！Lord, this helps me understand even more deeply that every one of us, as members of Your body, is fearfully and wonderfully made by You! I will continually give thanks to You and praise You!

奉主耶稣基督的圣名祷告，阿们。In the holy name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen.
