PROVERBS 11

A kindhearted woman gains respect,
but ruthless men gain only wealth.
11:16
A kind man benefits himself,
but a cruel man brings trouble on himself.
11:17

The LORD detests men of perverse heart
but he delights in those whose ways are blameless.
11:20

箴言11章1-6節

詭詐的天平,
為耶和華所憎惡;
公平的法碼為他所喜悅,
驕傲來,羞恥也來,
謙遜人卻有智慧。
正直人的純正必引導自己,
奸詐人的乖僻必會毀滅自己。
發怒的日子,資財無益,
惟有公義能救人脫離死亡。
完全人的義必指引他的路,
但惡人必因自己的惡跌倒。
正直人的義,必拯救自己,
奸詐人必陷在自己的罪孽中。

2 Corinthians 1:20-22

For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God.Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.

神的聖潔

「父阿,求祢因祢所賜給我的名保守他們。
使他們為聖。我為他們的緣故,
自己分別為聖,叫他們也因真理成聖。」
(約十七:11、17、19)

基督曾祈求過這樣一個大的禱告,
並盼望得神的成全。

請我們聽保羅在帖前說:
「我們晝夜切切的祈求,好使你們,
在我們父神面前,心裡堅固,
成為聖潔,無可責備。」(帖前三:10、13)
「賜平安的神,親自使你們全然成聖」(帖前5:23)
「祂成就這事」(帖前5:24)
思想這些話,並以此項神禱告:
「主阿!堅固我的心,使我聖潔無可責備,
求神自己使我完全成聖,神是信實的,祂必做成這事。」(帖前5:24)

在隱密處與神相交是何等的權利。
請用以上這些話來禱告,
並且在神面前等候,
讓聖靈在我們心裡作工,
使我們漸漸認識關於神聖潔的事。

寫信給哥林多神的教會就是
「在基督耶穌裡成聖,蒙召作聖徒的。」(林前一:2)

在舊約裡,神已經啟示了祂的聖潔。
在新約裡,我們看見,
神的子民在基督裡的聖潔,
是藉著聖靈的成聖得到的。
哦!但願我們明白這話語裡的祝福:
「你們要聖潔,因為我是聖潔的。」

神臉上的光

「神就是光」(約壹一:5)
「耶和華是我的亮光」(詩二十七:1)

每早晨太陽升起,我們行走在祂的光中,歡歡喜喜地做各樣該做的事。
無論我們想不想,太陽的光總是整天照著我們的。

每早晨神的光也照著祂的兒女。但是如果我們要享受主臉上的光,
我們的心必須轉向神,相信他,好讓祂的光照著我們。

如果在午夜有條船遇了險,那水手們是怎樣熱切的等候早晨快到呢?
他們要發出多少的嘆息,說什麼時候天才發亮呢?
照樣基督徒也必須這樣等候神,忍耐的等候,直到祂的光照著他。
「我的心等候主,勝於守夜的等候天亮。」(詩一三0:6)
哦,我的心哪!每天用這些話來開始禱告:
「求祢使祢的臉光照僕人」(詩三十一16)
「耶和華求祢仰起臉來,光照我們。」(詩四:6)
「使祢的臉發光,我們便要得救。」(詩八十3、7、19)
不要停止使用這些話,直到你知道祂臉上的光和祝福已經賜給了你。
這樣,你就要認識這個真理:
「他們在祢臉上的光裡行走,他們因祢的名終日歡樂。」(詩八十九:15、16)
神的兒女們,相信你的父是熱切的盼望你一直歡樂地居住在祂的光中。
天上的光就是天父臉上的光,是絕對需要的,
正像你每個時候需要太陽的光一樣。
而且,我們接受享受這日光,我們就可以相信說,神是極其願意讓祂的光,照著我們的。

就是在有雲的時候,太陽仍舊在哪裡。
所以,當我們在各樣難處中的時候,神的光仍然不止息的照著我們。
如果你知道太陽已經升起了,你就能完全依靠這光行走,
照樣,如果早晨神的光是實在的照亮了你,你也能整天靠著這光行走。

不要停止追求,直到你說:「有許多人說:誰能將良善啟示我們呢?主阿,求你仰起臉來,光照我們,」
要花時間追求,直到光照亮在你心裡,
你也能誠實地說:「主是我們的亮光,是我的拯救。」(詩二十七:1)

Faith in God

Jesus said unto them: Have faith in God.--MARK xi.22

AS the eye is the organ by which we see the light and rejoice in it,
so faith is the power by which we see the light of God and walk in it.
Man was made for God, in His likeness; his whole being formed after
the Divine pattern. Just think of his wonderful power of thinking out
all the thoughts of God hidden in nature. Think of the heart, with its
unlimited power of self-sacrifice and love. Man was made for God, to
seek Him, to find Him, to grow up into His likeness and show forth His
glory; in the fullest to be His dwelling. And faith is the eye which,
turning away from the world and self, looks up to God and in His light
sees light. To faith God reveals Himself.
How often we toil and try to waken thoughts and concerning God, which
are but a faint shadow, and we forget" to gaze on the Incomparable Original."
Could we but realize it, in the depth of our soul God reveals Himself.
Without faith it is impossible to please God, or to know. In our quiet
time, we have to pray to our Father which is in secret. There "He hides us in
the secret of His pavilion." And there, as we wait and worship before Him, He
will in very deed, just as the light by its very nature reveals itself, let
His light shine into our heart.
Let our desire be to take time and be still before God, believing with an
unbounded faith in His longing to make Himself known to us. Let us feed on
God's Word, to make us strong in faith. Let that faith have large thoughts of
what God's glory is; of what His power is to reveal Himself to us; of what His
longing love is to get complete possession of us.
Such faith exercised and strengthened day by day in secret fellowship with God,
will become the habit of our life, keeping us ever in the enjoyment of His presence
and the experience of His saving power.
"Abraham was strong in faith, giving glory to God; being fully persuaded that, what
He had promised, He was able also to perform"(Rom.iv.20.21)
"I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me."(Act xxvii.25)
"Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart:
wait, I say,on the Lord"(Ps.xxvii.14)

Death and Life

你若讓罪惡的本性支配你的意志,
結果就是死,
但你若讓聖靈掌管你的思想,
就有生命與平安。
........................................

因此,親愛的弟兄姊妹,
你們沒有必要受罪惡本性的驅使行事,
你們若依從它的支配生活,就必死亡,
但你們若靠聖靈的能力,
就把出於罪惡本性的行為置於死地,
你們就必存活。
羅馬書8章6、12-13節

因為那曾說黑暗中要有光的上帝,
使這光照亮我們的心,
以致我們得以認識上帝的榮耀,
就是在耶穌基督的臉上看到的榮耀。
如今這光在我們心裡照耀,
我們卻像易碎的瓦器盛著這偉大的寶物。
這就清楚地表明,我們非凡的能力是來自上帝,
而不是我們自己。
儘管我們四面受壓,卻沒有被壓垮,
困惑迷茫,卻不至絕望,
被人追逼,卻沒有被上帝丟棄,
被人打倒,卻不至死亡。
在苦難中,我們身上一直帶著耶穌的死,
好讓耶穌的生命也在我們身上彰顯出來。
是的,我們因為事奉耶穌,時刻活在死亡的威脅下,
好讓耶穌的生命在我們必死的人身上展現出來。
哥林多後書4章6-11節 (新普及譯本)

總是主的人

我們沒有一個人為自己活,也沒有一個人為自己死。
我們若活著,是為主而活。
若死了,是為主而死。
所以我們或活或死,總是主的人。
