(箴言 16:20)
“謹守訓言的，必得好處．倚靠耶和華的，便為有福。”
在希伯來文中，謹守代表要細心地觀察並付諸實行。單靠閱讀或背誦是不夠的，聖經的訓言應該成為我們生命和生活的唯一指南。我們要不斷練習將聖經原則應用在日常生活中。如果我們能實踐出來，就必得好處。這裡的好處在原文字義中，指的更是物質上的供應與豐盛。只要我們跟隨主的原則生活，神定會提供我們所需的。
至於倚靠耶和華，在原文中有著將身體重量完全托付、靠在某個物體上的意思。想像一下整個人放鬆地坐在沙發上，那種完全不費力、徹底放鬆的狀態，這就是倚靠。無論環境是順是逆，尤其是在逆境中，我們更要學習完全放鬆去倚靠那永不動搖的神。這份福氣與剛才提到的物質好處不同，它更多是關於我們與神之間緊密的關係，是心靈深處的契合與滿足，而這種福氣是永恆的。
我們不要試圖用自己的力量去改變現狀，因為除了神，沒有人能做到。有些人覺得每天感謝主賜予空氣呼吸很可笑，但事實上，地球擁有空氣並非必然。我們要懂得在簡單的日常中感恩，因為所有的一切都不是理所當然的。當我們學會倚靠神，生命就能變得輕鬆，因為祂是唯一絕對可靠的，祂不會出賣你，也不會歧視你。
(Proverbs 16:20)
“He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the Lord, happy is he.”
In Hebrew, to handle wisely or heed instruction means to observe carefully and put into practice. Simply reading or reciting is not enough; the teachings of the Bible should become the sole guide for our lives and existence. We must constantly practice applying biblical principles to our daily lives. If we can put them into action, we will surely find good. The word good in its original literal sense refers even more to material provision and abundance. As long as we live according to the Lord’s principles, God will surely provide what we need.
As for trusting in the Lord, the original text carries the meaning of completely entrusting one’s body weight to or leaning upon an object. Imagine the state of being completely effortless and thoroughly relaxed, like sitting back on a sofa; that is what trust is. Whether circumstances are favorable or adverse, and especially in times of adversity, we must learn to relax completely and lean on the unshakable God. This blessing is different from the material good mentioned earlier; it is more about a close relationship between us and God, an inner harmony and satisfaction of the soul, and this kind of blessing is eternal.
We should not try to change the current situation with our own strength, for no one can do so except God. Some people find it ridiculous to thank the Lord every day for the air they breathe, but in fact, it is not a given that the earth has air. We must know how to be grateful in the simple details of daily life, because everything is not to be taken for granted. When we learn to trust in God, life can become easy, because He is the only one who is absolutely reliable; He will not betray you, nor will He discriminate against you.
