一個小男孩有一整袋的糖果，但他的媽媽把袋子拿走，一天只讓他吃一或兩顆糖，為什麼呢？因為她知道，如果吃太多糖，他會生病。但是男孩很傻，他找到了袋子，把所有糖果都吃光了。 　今天我們讀的經文中，所羅門談到了淫亂。如果上帝賜下丈夫或太太來祝福一個人，他們就應該要感到滿足並心存感激，而不應該嘗試在其他的關係中尋找快樂。淫亂是「要把你帶到死亡的境地……走入邪徑」（第5b-6節）。 　當小男孩不順服、吃太多糖果時，他就生病了。同理，一個牽扯淫亂的人會面臨不好的下場：「你臨終的時候會呻吟不已，你的皮肉消耗殆盡」（第11節）。 　今天求上帝幫助你心存感激並滿意你目前的關係。 —KP 「上主鑒察你一切的作為，注視你所走的途徑。他因為不能自制而喪命；極端的愚昧使他淪亡。」 箴言5:21, 23 禱告：親愛的上帝，求祢幫助我遠離罪惡。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (尤榮輝譯)

Proverbs (5)
Bible Reading: Proverbs 5:1-20
Sunday, October 26, 2014

A little boy has a whole bag of candy. His mother puts the bag away and only lets him have one or two pieces a day. Why? She knows that if he eats too much candy, he will become sick. But the boy is foolish. He finds the bag and eats all of the candy! 　In our Bible verses today, Solomon talks about adultery. If God has blessed a person with a husband or wife, they should be satisfied and thankful. They should not try to find happiness in other relationships. Adultery is on “a path leading to death...Be careful. Stay on the road that leads to life” (verses 5b-6). 　When the little boy disobeyed and ate too much candy, he became sick. In the same way, a person who becomes involved in adultery will face bad consequences. “At the end of your life, you will be sad that you ruined your health and lost everything you had” (verse 11). 　Ask God to help you be thankful and content in your relationships today. —KP “The Lord clearly sees everything you do. He watches where you go. Evil people will die because they refuse to be disciplined. They will be trapped by their own desires.” Proverbs 5:21,23 PRAYER: Dear God, help me to stay away from evil. In Jesus' name. Amen.
