Why should I share this with you? I think this little poem is more beautiful. Recently, I received that the writing of the Bible is really beautiful, so I should read the Bible more. Perhaps our ability to appreciate literature has improved inadvertently, and our aesthetic feeling (ability to feel beauty) and comprehensive quality have also improved. Of course, the fundamental purpose of reading the Bible is not only to improve our literary literacy, but also to establish a relationship with God. Let us have a more real and profound understanding of God and understand his mind. Timothy 3: 16 The Bible is inspired by God, which is beneficial to teaching, reprimanding, correcting people and teaching people righteousness. Timothy 3: 17 makes people who belong to God complete and ready to do all kinds of good deeds.
I remember a little story about this. A man carries a leaky bucket to fetch water every day. After crossing a path, he misses half of the water every time he reaches the finish line. Someone laughed at him and asked him why he didn't change the leaky bucket. He said, it doesn't matter. You see, I pass by the small flowers and grass on both sides of this path every day. How happy they are. It is enough that they can thrive.
It is the same for us to read the Bible every day, although many times we can only read it roughly, not necessarily in detail to fully understand God's mind. But if we persist, our life will also produce beautiful flowers. Our ability to feel beauty will continue to increase.
At the same time, I also know a lot of words I didn't know before, and I know the background I didn't know before, including geographical knowledge, historical knowledge, customs and habits, etc. Frequent reading and reference can also enhance our reading ability and understanding ability. Our field is constantly expanding.
To give a few simple examples, in poem 9 1: 13, you have to step on the lion and cobra, and step on the lion cub and the serpent. Among them, the word "qi" is pronounced as the third sound of hui.
"Kloc-0/7: 9 Say, Thus says the Lord GOD," Can this vine flourish? Did not the eagle uproot its roots, pluck its fruit, and dry it up, so that all its young leaves withered? It doesn't need strength and many people to eradicate it. Among them, the word "horizontal" is read first.
No. 10: 14 The banner of Judas Battalion goes forward first according to the army. At the head of the army is Nashun, the son of Amminadab.
Read the word "Tao" in the fourth sound.
Listen to me, house of Jacob and all who remain of the house of Israel. You have been in my arms since you were born. I have been pregnant since I was born.
Isa 46:4 I will do the same until you are old. I was pregnant until you turned white. I created it, I will catch it, I will embrace it and save it.
Among them, the word "chuai" is read first.
Is this poem beautiful? There are also many rhetorical devices used in the Bible: metaphor, personification, repetition, rhetorical questions, exaggeration, duality, contrast, hierarchy and so on. In fact, the Bible should be read out loud! Children never suffer from reading the Bible when they are young.
There are many other rare words in the Bible, which I didn't know until I read it. There are also some words in Cantonese poetry that we didn't know before, such as "Qi" for rest and "Black 3" (Qi) in Cantonese. Of course, I encourage you to read more classics instead of learning from Kong Yiji: there are four ways to write fennel in Fennel Bean. You can't just grasp these details and scrutinize the text repeatedly.
However, if we Christians don't know how to read these words in the Bible, it will make us laugh. Like the mustard tuber elder brother in Taiwan Province province some time ago. Huang Shicong, a financial person in Taiwan Province Province, said that people in China could not afford mustard tuber. I also read the word "fu" of Fuling mustard tuber as Pei, so I received two boxes of mustard tuber from Fuling mustard tuber company. )
The Bible is extensive and profound, and it is a treasure. It contains many knowledge points that we don't know. The Bible has a unique structure and beautiful writing (especially psalms and Isaiah). It contains rich philosophy and wisdom. For example, Matthew effect; There are many angles in the Bible, which are produced by many authors under the inspiration of God for a long time. The Bible itself is a miracle, not far away from us. This is a great and beautiful miracle.
In addition, the poems we sing are also beautiful, not only with beautiful melody and layered feeling, but also with beautiful lyrics. Therefore, on weekdays, you should also practice singing with your heart and think carefully about chewing the contents of the lyrics (as the old saying goes: never leave your mouth without a song, never leave your hand without a punch). The lyrics of many poems themselves come from the Bible. For example, there are 23 famous poems with many versions and styles. Europe, America, nationality, classicism, lyricism, modernity and fashion. If we know something about the environment at that time and what the poet experienced, we can better understand and appreciate the poems written by the poet. In a study, I learned that there is a saying: "feel the feelings of others", and the first feeling is a verb; The second feeling is nouns. There are similar verses in the Bible. Sea fish of Sparidae 12: 15: Enjoy with those who are happy and weep with those who are crying. Cor. 9:22 For the weak, I became weak, in order to gain the weak. What kind of person I will be. Save some people anyway.
You should do the same when preaching the gospel, feel the feelings of others and respect their feelings. Being able to feel and react is an ability. Pray that God will give us this ability to use. We should preach the gospel and preach it in a beautiful way. Pray that God will let us feel the beauty of the Bible first, and then pass on our feelings. Amen!
