Dec27【每日活水】勤劳积蓄的,必见加增

 

箴言13:1~11

1智慧子听父亲的教训;
亵慢人不听责备。
2人因口所结的果子,必享美福;
奸诈人必遭强暴。
3谨守口的,得保生命;
大张嘴的,必致败亡。
4懒惰人羡慕,却无所得;
殷勤人必得丰裕。
5义人恨恶谎言;
恶人有臭名,且致惭愧。
6行为正直的,有公义保守;
犯罪的,被邪恶倾覆。
7假作富足的,却一无所有;
装作穷乏的,却广有财物。
8人的资财是他生命的赎价;
穷乏人却听不见威吓的话。
9义人的光明亮;
恶人的灯要熄灭。
10骄傲只启争竞;
听劝言的,却有智慧。
11不劳而得之财必然消耗;
勤劳积蓄的,必见加增。
1A wise son heeds his father’s instruction,
but a mocker does not respond to rebukes.
2From the fruit of their lips people enjoy good things,
but the unfaithful have an appetite for violence.
3Those who guard their lips preserve their lives,
but those who speak rashly will come to ruin.
4A sluggard’s appetite is never filled,
but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied.
5The righteous hate what is false,
but the wicked make themselves a stench
and bring shame on themselves.
6Righteousness guards the person of integrity,
but wickedness overthrows the sinner.
7One person pretends to be rich, yet has nothing;
another pretends to be poor, yet has great wealth.
8A person’s riches may ransom their life,
but the poor cannot respond to threatening rebukes.
9The light of the righteous shines brightly,
but the lamp of the wicked is snuffed out.
10Where there is strife, there is pride,
but wisdom is found in those who take advice.
11Dishonest money dwindles away,
but whoever gathers money little by little makes it grow.

假冒富足的,一无所有(7节):既指穷人假装富有的行为,也指为自己积蓄财宝,不善加使用的行为。

灵/修指南

智慧之子和傲慢人在听和说两方面有显著的不同(1—3节),要想保全生命就要谨慎守口。懒惰人无法得偿所愿,殷勤的人却能勤劳致富(4,11节)。有人一无所有却假冒富足,也有人多有财物却装作穷乏。“不劳而获之财”和不义之财因为得来容易,所以不加珍惜,最终必然浪费殆尽。相反,正当的劳动和努力所得与“逐渐积蓄的”财物在 SHEN 公义的掌管和赐福之下必致增多。我们的生活中有至关重要的两件事,需要我们善加使用和管理,一是“言语”,二是“财物”。盼望我们今天用 SHEN 的眼光来看待和默想这两件事,使我们的言语结出公义的果实,又使我们的财物成为祝福他人的管道。
 

内室dao告

愿我更有智慧地管理我的言语和财物,使这两件成为祝福和造就他人的工具。
