497 中翻英 (197) Lord, grant me Your light and Your truth. 主阿, 求賜我祢的光和真理. 8/23/2023
為什麼編輯者偏愛水力發電. 1970年, 上帝再恩賜機會赴德國研究水利工程. 是恩師徐世大教授極力推薦, 並親自為學生代授台灣大學土木系水文學一課, 蒙國科會接受, 赴達城(Darmstadt)高級研究所(Hochschule)進修水資源經濟. 斯時適逢石油危機, 又對空氣污染問題非常敏感. 水力發電成了熱烈討論的課題. 德國達城高級研究所重視 "泥沙運行" 的教學. 對大埧前泥沙沉積的問題的討論很有幫助.
水力發電是當前科技正在發展的國家急需的能源. 它不但是清潔的能源, 又是再度可使用的能源(reusable energy). 前面幾篇博客曾提起American Project-TVA (Tennesse Valley Authority) 美國田域安水利工程, 共建有31座大埧(參考中正科技大辭典-土木分科, 第342頁), 水一層一層的流經大埧發電設施, 產生極大的能源, 使美國那時的經濟不景氣得以復甦.

「求你發出你的亮光和真實，好引導我，帶我到你的圣山，到你的居所。」 （詩 43:3 新國際版）
「你的亮光和真實」，這二者是相連的。真理在基督耶穌里已經是完滿了，但我們心里的需要，就是要有神的亮光照耀在真理上面。雖然我們一切所确信的基礎，是根据于基督的身位，和祂榮耀工作的事實，可是我們仍需要神的幫助，才能看見并知道，基督不是將要掌權，乃是已經掌權。這一榮耀的真理，神今日在我們身上所做的，是祂早已在基督里所完成的。我們最大的需要，就是能以看見這個屬靈的事實。一切屬靈的經歷，都是來自神的亮光照耀在永恒的真理上面。沒有神光照的講道，那所講的真理，不過只是道理而已。有了亮光照在其上的真理，能夠改變你和我。這樣，那以往只能存在于基督里面的實際，也就開始在我們身上顯出了，這都因神做工在我們里面，要把我們模成為祂儿子的樣式。所以，這條亮光和真理結合的道路，就引領我們直達神的「圣山」那里。

"Send forth Your light and Your truth, guide me, and bring me to Your holy mountain, to Your dwelling place." (Psalm 43:3)
"Your Light
and Your Truth", the two are connected. The truth is already complete in
Christ Jesus, but the need in our heart is to have God's light shine on the
truth. Although the basis of all our convictions is based on the fact of
Christ's person and His glorious work, we still need God's help to see and know
that Christ is not about to reign, but has already reigned. It is a glorious
truth that what God is doing in us today, he has already accomplished in
Christ. Our greatest need is to be able to see this spiritual fact. All
spiritual experience is the light from God shining on eternal truth. Preaching
without divine enlightenment means that the truths are just doctrines. Truth,
with light upon it, can change you and me. In this way, the reality that previously
could only exist in Christ begins to be manifested in us, because God works in
us to conform us to the likeness of His Son. Therefore, this path of combining
light and truth leads us directly to God’s “Holy Mountain”.
