我喜歡吃黑巧克力，所以上網搜尋：黑巧克力對人有益嗎？結果得到的答案五花八門，有益處也有害處。你也可以上網搜尋其他食品，例如：牛奶有益嗎？咖啡有益嗎？米飯有益嗎？答案洋洋灑灑，令人眼花繚亂。所以我們當警覺，這樣的搜尋無法帶來益處，可能還令人很頭痛！

若你正尋找永遠有益無害的事物，別錯過上帝的話語。跟隨耶穌的人藉由上帝的話語與祂建立關係，因祂的話語⋯⋯
使你純潔（詩篇119篇9、11節）。
使你蒙福（路加福音11章28節）。
使你聰明（馬太福音7章24節）。
能發出亮光，使人得到啟發（詩篇119篇130節）。
能使你靈命成長（彼得前書2章2節）。

上帝何等美善，詩篇145篇9節說：「耶和華善待萬民。」因著祂的良善，祂賜下話語引導那些愛祂的人，幫助我們明白如何增進與祂之間的關係。當我們處在這個充斥著各樣選擇的世界時，感謝上帝透過聖經告訴我們，如何選擇與我們有益處的。讓我們與詩人齊聲頌讚：「祢的言語在我上膛何等甘美，在我口中比蜜更甜！」（詩篇119篇103節）

Because I like dark chocolate, I once Googled “Is dark chocolate good for you?” I got a variety of results—some good, some bad. You can do the same for almost any food product. Is milk good for you? Is coffee good for you? Is rice good for you? There is a dizzying array of answers to these questions, so you have to be aware that the search itself may not be good for you. It may give you a headache!

But if you’re looking for something that’s one-hundred percent good for you all the time, can I recommend the Word of God? Listen to what it can do for the follower of Jesus who is seeking to build a relationship with God.

         It can keep you pure (Psalm 119:9, 11).

         It blesses you (Luke 11:28).

         It makes you wise (Matthew 7:24).

         It gives light and understanding (Psalm 119:130).

         It helps you grow spiritually (1 Peter 2:2).

Our God is good: “The Lord is good to all,” says Psalm 145:9. And in His goodness, He’s provided those who love Him with a guide that helps us see how to enhance our relationship with Him. As we try to decide how to live in a world full of choices, praise God that He’s told us in Scripture what’s good for us. Let’s say with the psalm-writer: “How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth” (Psalm 119:103).
