Microscopic Or Telescopic? (Chinese/English)

Microsopic Or Telescopic?
微观还是宏观？

PSALM 119
诗篇119

9 Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.
10 With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments.
11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
12 Blessed art thou, O Lord: teach me thy statutes.

9少年人用什么洁净他的行为呢？
10我一心寻求了你，求你不要叫我偏离你的命令。
11我将你的话藏在心里，免得我得罪你。
12耶和华阿，你是应当称颂的。求你将你的律例教训我。

Of all the treasures we have, the word of God is probably the greatest.
在我们所有的财富中，神的话语应该是最伟大的。

So how do we read and study it? Christians use different methods, some read thee bible once per year using various schemes, some just read the bible in large chunks, such as five chapters per day.
那么我们如何去阅读和研究它呢？基督徒使用不同的方法，有些人用不同的方法一年读一次圣经，有些人只是大段地读圣经，比如每天读五章。

Some read randomly, they don’t follow any scheme, they read in John one day and Psalms the next, but is that helping them?
有些人随意阅读，他们不遵循任何计划，他们今天读约翰福音，明天读诗篇，这对他们有帮助吗？

I used this method for many years and to be honest, did not grow in my faith very much, I had favorite passages that I constantly read, which kept me away from the books I felt were difficult, such as Job, Jeremiah, Joel and Ezekiel ( this last one is still a struggle!)
我用这个方法很多年了，老实说，我的信仰没有增长多少，我有我经常阅读的最喜欢的段落，这让我远离我觉得很难的书，如《约伯记》、《耶利米书》、《约珥书》和《以西结书》(最后一本书仍然很难！)

Now I am using a method, that could be of help to you.
现在我在用一种方法，可能对你有帮助。

When I read a book such as Acts, which I will start next month, I will read the whole book, splitting into sections to gain an overview (telescopic) and then read it slowly, taking as long as it takes (microscopic), examining it section by section.
当我读《使徒行传》这样的书时，我将从下个月开始，我会读整本书，分成几节以获得一个概述(宏观)，然后慢慢读，花多长时间(微观)，一节一节地查经。

The Bible is a treasure trove, it is full of rich diamonds, which we often miss, it is a book to dwell on, it is a book to be meditated upon, it needs to be examined closely and carefully.
圣经是一个宝库，它充满了丰富的宝石，这是我们经常错过的，这是一本值得细读的书，这是一本值得沉思的书，它需要仔细和仔细的检查。

Let me make a suggestion, say you are reading Revelation, read all of it, splitting it into sections, and then take time to read it slowly, reading five chapters of Revelation is difficult enough anyway.
我来提个建议，比如你在读《启示录》，先全部读完，然后拆分成段，花时间慢慢读，反正读《启示录》五章已经够难了，

We miss so much, for the first time, I have read the Psalms one by one, some of these I have never focused on, such as Psalm 10, 83 and 31. Oh yes, we read all the popular ones such as Psalm 23 and 51, but we forget the words of the apostle Paul in 2 Timothy 4:
我们错过了这么多，第一次，我把诗篇一篇一篇的读了一遍，其中有些我从来没有关注过，比如诗篇10，83，31。哦，是的，我们读了所有喜欢的，如诗篇23和51，但我们忘记了使徒保罗在提摩太后书4章中的话:

16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
16圣经都是神所默示的，于教训、督责、使人归正、教导人学义，都是有益的。
17叫属神的人得以完全，全然预备行各样的善事。

Thomas Brooks said these wise words:
托马斯·布鲁克斯说过这句至理名言:阅读圣经.

Thomas Brooks – Bible reading

“Remember that it is not hasty reading, but serious meditation on holy and heavenly truths, that makes them prove sweet and profitable to the soul.
“记住，不是草率的阅读，而是对神圣和属天真理的认真思考，去证明这对灵魂是甜蜜和有益的。

It is not the mere touching of the flower by the bee that gathers honey, but her abiding for a time on the flower that draws out the sweet.
蜜蜂采集蜂蜜，不仅仅是触摸花朵，而是停留在花朵上一段时间，吸取蜂蜜。

It is not he that reads most, but he that meditates most, that will prove to be the choicest, sweetest, wisest, and strongest Christian.”
不是读书最多的人，而是沉思最多的人，将被证明是最优秀、最甜美、最明智和最坚定的基督徒。”

I say a big Amen to that-it is not how many pages you read-it is how much does the Bible affect your life?
我要说一个伟大的阿门，不在于你读了多少页，而在于《圣经》对你的生活有多大影响。

Poem by Keith

Search the bible, meditate on it’s truth.
So, its transforming power has free reign in your life.
The power of the word gives light to your path
The authority of the word gives meaning to life
Fall in love with God’s word.
Let it become your greatest treasure and deepest pleasure.
Let me run to it and never away from it
Knowing that it is the book of books
Written by the King of kings
To bless and comfort His children
May we fly to the word.

之诗歌：Keith

翻阅圣经，沉思其中的真理，
因此，改变的力量便能在你的生命中自由施展。
话语的力量照亮你的道路，话语的权威赋予生命意义。
爱上上帝的话语，让它成为你最珍贵的宝藏和最深的喜悦。
让我奔向它，而不是远离它，深知它是一切书籍中的书，由万王之王所著，为祝福和安慰他的子民。
愿我们飞向这话语。

The final word goes to Don Fortner -Bow to the Word I bow to the Word of God.
最后的话要说给 Don Fortner -向神的话语低头 我向神的话语低头。

Bow to the Word   by Don Fortner  I bow to the Word of God

There are many good creeds, confessions, and catechisms written by men, clearly setting forth the gospel of the grace of God; but I do not pin my faith to the writings of any man, or any group of men, no matter how much I may admire them.
有许多好的信条、自白和教义是由人撰写的，清楚地阐述了上帝恩典的福音；但是我不把我的信仰寄托在任何人或任何团体的作品上，不管我多么钦佩他们。

The Word of God alone is my rule of faith and practice.
只有上帝的话语是我信仰和实践的准则。

I bow my will and my reason, my experience and my feelings, to the Word of God. I do not understand all that is written in the Scriptures; but I believe it all.
我将我的意志、我的理智、我的经验和我的感觉都交给上帝的话语。我不明白圣经上写的所有；但我全都相信。

I bow to the authority of Holy Scripture. I do so unreservedly.
我臣服于圣经的权威。我毫无保留地这样做。

Let men call it bigotry, ignorance, or whatever they may, I am not even open to the consideration of any thought, idea, or evidence which contradicts the Book of God.
让人们称之为偏执、无知或其他什么，我甚至不考虑任何与上帝之书相矛盾的思想、观点或证据。

God bless you
神祝福你
