信仰与生活 (45)
柳暗花明又一村
Faith and Life (45)
To See Hope When All Seems Lost
 
诗篇 Psalms 77:7-12,19-20
山穷水尽疑无路，柳岸花明又一村。
To see hope when all seems lost.
不论前面多困难，只要坚立信念，
不退缩，不畏惧，勇于开拓，
No matter the difficulties ahead, one only needs
to strengthen one’s faith and not shrink back
nor be fearful, but be brave in moving forwards…

那么，前方将是一个充满光明与希望的境界。
…for ahead will be a realm full of hope and light.
人生的道路原本就是一条弯弯曲曲的道路，
这是不需要去争辨的事实。
Originally, the path of life would be a winding
road – this is a fact that brooks no argument.
「一个人之所以伟大，不是因为他建立什么伟大
的事业，乃是他懂得在弯曲人生的路上转弯」
A person’s greatness does not come about
because he has performed some
great undertaking, but comes about
because he knows how to turn a corner
on the winding path of life.
A. 陷入生命的死角 (6-9)
Land oneself in a dead angle (verses 6-9)
Jalan Mati
Dead End
 牛角
Ox horn.
「我的心不肯受安慰」
…my soul refused to be comforted.
「我沉吟悲伤，心便发昏」
…I complained, and my spirit was
overwhelmed.
「我不能闭眼，我烦乱不安，甚至不能说话」
…mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I
cannot speak.

自我可怜、自我怀疑、自我否定的情绪与思想
The feelings and thoughts of self-pity,
self-doubt, and self-denial.

1. 自组公司的负担
The burden of a self-
organized company
2. 担心患癌的父亲
Worries about a father
who has cancer
3. 担心人气流失
Worries about losing
one’s popularity.
每个人的生命总会来到生命的死角，
所以要学习转弯。
Every person will certainly encounter
a dead angle in life,
and thus will need to learn how to turn a corner.
「山不转，路转；路不转，人转；
若要转，心先转。」
If the mountain does not turn, the path turns;
if the path does not turn, man turns; if man
wants to turn, the heart must first turn.
当我们陷入人生的死角，
不要一味的怨恨与自怜，
当知道唯一的出路就是转弯。
When we fall into a dead angle in life,
we must not persist in resentment and self -pity,
but instead know that the only way out
is to turn a corner.
B. 寻找不变的定律 (10-18)
Seek for laws that will never change (10-18)
第 1-9 节，诗人看见自己负面情绪的感受，
In verses 1-9, the psalmist was looking at his
own experience of burdensome depression…
10 节开始，他却转向上帝，
他从自我转向上帝。
But from verse 10 onwards, the psalmist
turns toward God – he turns from looking
at himself to looking towards God.
生命的转弯能让人走出死荫的幽谷，
进入人生的光明路。
Turning a corner in life can allow a person
to walk out from the valley of the shadow
of death, and enter the bright path of life.
不要让思想停留在消极中，也不要让感受
停留在负面的情绪中，学习转一转，
就能重新的开始。
Do not let your thinking dwell on the negative,
nor let your experiences remain in
burdensome depression; learn to turn around,
and have a fresh start.
祂是创造天地的主宰，
也是掌握人类历史的主。
He is the Lord who created the Heaven
and the Earth, and also the Lord who controls
the history of man.
在变动无常的环境中，若有了这一位不变
的上帝，生命才能更加的安稳与踏实。
By having this unchanging God,
in such a changing, inconsistent environment,
then only would life be more steady
and peaceful.
 船

锚
Anchor
在变幻的环境中，上帝是我们心灵的锚。
In an environment that changes irregularly,
God is the anchor for our souls.
C. 看透环境的信心 (19)
The faith to see through our surroundings (19)
「你的道在海中，你的路在大水中，
你的脚踪无人知道。」
Thy way is in the sea,
and thy path in the
great waters,
and thy foots
step are not known.
那时以色列人来到红海
At that time, the Israelites came
to the Red Sea.
「你们只管站著，
看上帝今日为你们施行祂的行为。」
…stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord,
which he will shew to you to day.
信心让你看见上帝的作为，
也让你看透环境而找到出路。
Faith allows you to see the works of the Lord,
and also allows you to see through your
surroundings and find a way out.
有人在逆境中看见机会，有人却在顺境中失
败。
There are people who see opportunity even
in adversity, but there are also those who fail
even in favourable circumstances.
「万事都互相效力，叫爱上帝的人得到益处。」
…all things work together for good to them
that love God, to them who are the called
according to his purpose.
 木雕马
A carved wooden horse
生命中的柳暗花明又一村，也需要信心的眼睛
来看透环境，看见上帝自己的作为。
Even in the moments of life where one sees
hope when all had seemed lost, one still
needs the eyes of faith to see through one’s
surroundings and see the workings of God.
D. 成为别人的祝福 (20)
Becoming others’ blessing (20)
上帝藉著摩西与亚伦
God used Moses and Aaron.
当你的生命得到了转弯，这样你也有资格
成为别人生命的导师。你可以用你的经历
去帮助别人，引导他们走出生命的死角。
When your life has turned a corner,
you will be qualified to become a guide in
the lives of others. You can use your
past experiences to help others, leading them
to walk out of their dead angle in life.
哥林多后书 2 Corinthians 1:4
我们在一切的患难中，他就安慰我们，叫我们能用
上帝所赐的安慰，去安慰那遭各种患难的人。
Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we
may be able to comfort them which are in any
trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are
comforted of God.
在这一个混乱与不安的环境中，
去寻找那一位永不变的上帝，
In this chaotic and unstable environment,
go and search for the never-changing God…
然后靠著这一位上帝看透所处身的环境，
看见上帝自己的作为。
…then trust God and see through your
surroundings – and see God’s own works.

若是你有这样的看见，你的生命必能得到转弯。
If you were to take this viewpoint,
your life will certainly turn a corner.
