禱告之時甘甜之時　使我離開煩惱之時

要怎樣才能觸摸到內心的深處呢？
那是一種什麼樣的感受呢？

¹⁷ The quiet words of the wise are more to be heeded
       than the shouts of a ruler of fools. 
¹⁸ Wisdom is better than weapons of war,

I also saw under the sun this example of wisdom that greatly impressed me: 
¹⁴ There was once a small city with only a few people in it. And a powerful king came against it, surrounded it and built huge siegeworks against it. 
¹⁵ Now there lived in that city a man poor but wise, and he saved the city by his wisdom. But nobody remembered that poor man. 

I have seen something else under the sun:
       The race is not to the swift
       or the battle to the strong,

Anyone who is among the living has hope: even a live dog is better off than a dead lion! 

第4節應是此段的關鍵，一開始就說，在活著當中的人是有盼望的：活著的狗總比死的獅子來的好！

下個月底要做傳道書第九、十章的分享，我想我還是嘗試來看一點英文好了（唉～誰叫我英文破）

 ¹ So I reflected on all this and concluded that the righteous and the wise and what they do are in God's hands, but no man knows whether love or hate awaits him. 

上星期五是教會裡邊的受難日，而今天是復活節，
所以在星期五的時候，小組裡有做了一些活動來紀念受難日。
我們提早了半小時有一個禁食禱告會，

        3/22禱告會開始前，買了瓶飲料在校園書房的一樓閒晃，
        恰巧與sasaka相遇，也因為相遇，湊巧在雜誌堆裡拾起了
        了台灣基督長老教會出的『新使者』雜誌。

傳道書1:2和1:18說到：
「傳道者說：虛空的虛空，虛空的虛空，凡事都是虛空。」
「因為多有智慧，就多有愁煩；加增知識的，就加增憂傷。」
