箴言 (6)
聖經閱讀：箴言6:1-19 現代中譯本|合和本
2014年10月27日(一)

今天經文的第16-19節列出七件上帝恨惡的事：「傲慢的眼睛，撒謊的舌頭，殺害無辜的手，策劃陰謀的心，奔走邪路的腿，編造假證，在朋友間挑撥是非。」 　但是第6-15節則列出一些看似容易、其實不然的事，像是貪睡、懶惰，或是計劃做不對的事。做這些事的後果就是：「你將會一無所有」（第11節）、「災禍要突然臨到他們」（第15節），或是「沒有一人會幫助他們」（第15節）。 　你要如何避免這些可怕的事情呢？要留心聆聽上帝的話語，檢視你的生活習慣、你的行為和你的思想。懇求上帝幫助你看見生活中的罪並赦免你，這樣你才可以跟祂有一個合宜的關係。 —KP 「你要是做了該做的事，我自然會接受你的祭物，但因為你做了不該做的事，罪已經埋伏在你門口。罪要控制你，可是你必須制服罪。」 創世記4:7 禱告：天父，求祢顯明我生活中的罪，懇求祢赦免我，並幫助我每天為祢而活。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (林威妮譯)

Bible Reading: Proverbs 6:1-19
Monday, October 27, 2014

Verses 16-19 of our Bible Reading today list seven things that God hates: “...eyes that show pride, tongues that tell lies, hands that kill innocent people, hearts that plan evil things to do, feet that run to do evil, witnesses in court who tell lies, and anyone who causes family members to fight.” 　But verses 6-15 list things that are not as easy to see. These are things like sleeping too much, being lazy or making plans to do something that is wrong. The results of these things are “you will have nothing” (verse 11), “disaster will strike” (verse 15) or “there will be no one to help them” (verse 15). 　How can you avoid these terrible things? Pay attention to God’s Word. Examine your habits, your actions and your thoughts. Ask God to help you see the sin in your life and to forgive you. Then you can have a right relationship with Him. —KP “You know that if you do what is right, I will accept you. But if you don’t, sin is ready to attack you. That sin will want to control you, but you must control it.” Genesis 4:7 PRAYER: Father, show me the sin in my life. Please forgive me and help me to live for You each day. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
