上帝啊,你的思想对我何等宝贵,多得不可胜数!——诗139:17

一本科学教科书说:“人类跟其他生物有许多相似的地方,但在语言能力和思想能力方面,人类却是地上的生物中独一无二的。”人类在另一方面也独一无二,那就是,我们有能力领会上帝的思想。这种能力惟独人类才有,动物是没有的。我们是“照上帝的形像”造的,因而享有这个特别的恩赐。(创1:27)大卫善用这个恩赐,认真沉思上帝存在的证据,细想从周遭的自然界可以看出上帝的哪些美好特质。大卫也阅读早期的圣经经卷,这些经卷含有上帝的启示,向人披露关于上帝的知识和他的作为。这些受圣灵启示而写成的经卷,帮助大卫认识上帝的思想、品格和旨意。沉思经文,细想受造万物,思量上帝怎样善待自己,使大卫深受感动而赞美创造主。《守》07/6/15刊1篇12,13段

每次到图书馆,我都要惊叹有这么多人竟然写出这么多各式各样的著作。有些解释我们的世界,有些解释过去,有些人去解释别人的想法。然而耶和华的智慧,我们永远也无法完全知晓。我们中间很多人就是在一直研究他的作品。上帝的作为伟大而可畏,所以他也乐意让我们认识他的作品。可能我们用很多他看来十分幼稚的工具分析这个,分析那个,他也不免会发笑吧。在未来的日子,地上会充满上帝的知识,而我们也会永远因此受益。(以赛亚书11:9)

To me how precious your thoughts are! O God, how much does the grand sum of them amount to!—Ps. 139:17.

“As similar as we humans are in many ways to other species, we are unique among the earth’s life forms in our ability to use language and thought,” notes one science textbook. We are also unique in our ability to contemplate God’s thoughts. This special gift is one of the ways that we are made “in God’s image.” (Gen. 1:27) David made good use of this gift. He meditated on the evidence of God’s existence and the good qualities reflected in the earth around him. David also had the early books of the Holy Scriptures, which contain revelations by God about himself and his works. These inspired writings helped David to understand God’s thoughts, personality, and purpose. Meditating on the Scriptures, on creation, and on God’s dealings with him moved David to praise his Maker. w07 6/15 1:12, 13
