在學校裡我有很多老師，有一些老師很好，有一些不怎麼好。也許你曾經有相同的經驗。 　我曾經有一個歷史老師，他有很多很棒的東西要教班上的同學，但是有些同學的規矩不是很好，這位老師必須停下好幾次來糾正他們的行為。我和其他的同學都不喜歡那些管教的時間，但最後大家總算開始專心聽課。那一年我們都學了很多，到今天我仍然能記得其中的一些重要功課。 　今天的經文提醒我們，當我們接受管教和糾正時，我們必須留心聆聽。第18節經文說：「如果你拒絕從你的錯誤中去學習，你會變的貧窮，而且沒有人會尊敬你。如果當你傾聽別人的批評，你會成為有榮譽的人。」 　當我們被管教的時候，如果留心聆聽，上帝就會賞賜我們更美好的生活。 —KP 「藐視教訓，自招災禍； 聽從訓誡，穩妥安全。」 箴言13:13 禱告：上帝，謝謝祢透過祢的管教來教導我。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (陳美婷譯)

Proverbs (13)
Bible Reading: Proverbs 13:13-20
Monday, November 3, 2014

I had many teachers in school. Some of my teachers were very good and some were not so good. Maybe you have had the same experience. 　I had a history teacher who had many good things to teach my class. But some students in the class did not behave very well. The teacher had to stop many times and correct their behavior. The other students and I did not like these times of discipline. But finally the students started to pay attention, and we all learned a lot that year. I can still remember some of those important lessons today. 　The verses in our Bible Reading today remind us that we need to pay attention when we receive discipline and correction. Verse 18 says, “If you refuse to learn from your mistakes, you will be poor, and no one will respect you. If you listen when you are criticized, you will be honored.” 　If we pay attention when we are disciplined, God will reward us with a better life. —KP “Those who reject a command hurt themselves; those who respect a command will be rewarded.” Proverbs 13:13 PRAYER: God, thank You for teaching me through Your discipline. In Jesus' name. Amen.
