現今很多人會提醒我們必須保護好自己的身體、不要生病。這個世界充滿了會傷害我們或使我們生病的東西，但是也有一些東西會在精神上、心靈上傷害我們。 　如果有人說了我們的壞話，或傷了我們的心，我們也許會生氣並想要回過頭來傷害他們。當我們拒絕原諒別人時，不好的意念就控制了我們的身體，然後我們也許會憂鬱，或很容易生病。我們必須記得，我們也一定要讓自己的心思和意念保持潔淨。 　跟隨上帝和祂的話語會幫助我們擁有健康的身體、心思和意念。所羅門今天的話語教導我們遠離罪惡並親近上帝：「壞人走的路，你不要走；邪惡者的榜樣，你不要學。要躲避邪惡，不要跟從；只管走你的路，拒絕同流合污」（第14-15節）。 　今天，要小心謹慎來保守你的身體、你的心思和你的意念。要跟隨上帝和祂的話語。 —KP 「所思所想要謹慎，因為生命是由思想定型的。對所計劃的事要有把握，你所做的就不至於差錯。」 箴言4:23, 26 禱告：上帝，今天我願順服祢並遵行祢的話語。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (尤榮輝譯)

Proverbs (4)
Bible Reading: Proverbs 4:13-27
Saturday, October 25, 2014

Many people today remind us that we need to protect ourselves from physical sicknesses. The world is full of things that can hurt us or make us sick. But there are also other things that can hurt us mentally and spiritually. 　If someone says something bad about us or hurts our feelings, we may become angry and want to hurt them back. When we refuse to forgive someone, our bad thoughts control our bodies. Then we may become depressed or get sick easily. We need to remember that we need to keep our hearts and minds clean, too. 　Following God and His Word will help us have healthy bodies, hearts and minds. Solomon's words today teach us to stay away from evil and close to God. “Don't take the path of the wicked; don't follow those who do evil. Stay away from that path; don't even go near it. Turn around and go another way” (verse 14-15). 　Be careful to guard your body, your heart and your mind today. Follow God and His Word. —KP “Above all, be careful what you think because your thoughts control your life. Make sure you are going the right way, and nothing will make you fall.” Proverbs 4:23,26 PRAYER: Lord, I want to obey You and Your Word today. In Jesus' name. Amen.
