箴言 (6)
聖經閱讀:箴言11:12-13 現代中譯本|合和本
2016年11月7日(一)


 我有幾個認識了很久的朋友,他們是我的多年好友,但有時候這些朋友惹我生氣,這時我會想要說一些傷害他們的話。
今天的經文閱讀教導我們怎麼處理像第12節說的狀況:「嘲弄鄰舍毫無見識;明智人緘默不言。」最好的作法往往是保持緘默並對朋友施展愛和憐憫。
第13節同時給我們一些對待朋友的忠告:「愛說閒話的人洩漏機密;誠實人堪受信託。」當有朋友告訴我們秘密時,我們要作一個可靠的人,不要將秘密告訴別人。
要謝謝上帝賜給你好朋友,你要愛他們、尊敬他們。 —BR

「飛短流長的,難保機密;好饒舌的,不可結交。」 箴言20:19
禱告:上帝,謝謝祢賜給我好朋友,我願永遠愛他們、尊敬他們。奉耶穌的名,阿們!
(尤榮輝譯)

Proverbs (6)
Bible Reading: Proverbs 11:12-13
Monday, November 7, 2016


I have several friends that I have known for a long time. These people have been my friends for many years. But sometimes these friends make me upset. When that happens I feel like I want to say something hurtful to them.
Our Bible Reading today teaches us what to do in situations like that. Verse 12 says, “Stupid people say bad things about their neighbors. Wise people know to be quiet.” Often it is best for us to keep quiet and show love and compassion to our friends.
Verse 13 also gives us some good advice about friends. “People who tell secrets about others cannot be trusted. Those who can be trusted keep quiet.” When a friend shares a secret with us, we should be trustworthy and not tell the secret to other people.
Thank God for your good friends. Treat them with love and respect. —BR

“You cannot trust someone who would talk about things told in private. So don't be friends with someone who talks too much.” Proverbs 20:19
PRAYER: God, thank You for my good friends. I want to always love and respect them. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
