箴言是教導我們智慧和美善的諺語，每一種文化都有自己的箴言。大部分的箴言是正確的，並且對我們的生活有幫助。 　所羅門是所有歷史中最有智慧的人，他寫了很多箴言和智慧的諺語，其中的一些箴言收錄在舊約聖經的箴言一書中。列王紀上3:1-15告訴我們所羅門如何得到他的智慧。所羅門的大智慧其實是從上帝而來的恩賜。 　今天經文的第7節告訴我們，所羅門知道他的智慧來自於上帝：「敬畏上主是智慧的開端。愚蠢的人輕視智慧，也不願意學習。」當我們敬畏上帝並將眼目專注於祂時，我們就可以得著智慧。 　今天你是否想要得到上帝的平安呢？那麼就留意上帝賜下的智慧並且遵循祂的道路。 —KP 「無知的人因拒絕智慧而喪命。愚蠢的人因逍遙自得而毁滅。但那聽從我的人必然安全；他要享受康寧，不怕災害。」 箴言1:32-33 禱告：天父，今天我願留心專注於祢並跟隨祢。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (尤榮輝譯)

Bible Reading: Proverbs 1:1-19
Wednesday, October 22, 2014

A proverb is a saying that teaches us something wise and good. Every culture has its own proverbs. Most proverbs are true and are useful for our lives. 　Solomon was the wisest man in all history. He wrote down many proverbs and wise sayings. Some of these proverbs are in the Old Testament book of Proverbs. 1 Kings 3:1-15 tells us how Solomon received his wisdom. Solomon's great wisdom was truly a gift from God. 　Verse 7 of our Bible Reading shows us that Solomon knew that his wisdom came from God. “Knowledge begins with fear and respect for the Lord, but stubborn fools hate wisdom and refuse to learn.” We can find that knowledge when we respect God and keep our eyes on Him. 　Do you want God's peace today? Then pay attention to the wisdom that God gives and follow His ways. —KP “Fools die because they refuse to follow wisdom. They are content to follow their foolish ways, and that will destroy them. But those who listen to me will live in safety and comfort. They will have nothing to fear.” Proverbs 1:32-33 PRAYER: Father, I want to pay attention to You and follow You today. In Jesus' name. Amen.
