传道书［第5章|Book of Ecclesiastes 5【人生法则】

引言：
传道书就在讲苹果和香蕉的故事，上帝给人的是苹果人最后领受的是香蕉。
一、侍奉神的态度（V1-9）
「谨慎」留心注意，看守。
「谨慎脚步」指到神面前须警惕谨慎，外表敬虔的行为，要配上内里诚实的存心。
听比作更为优先，听比作更重要，听比说更为宝贵，听比作更有价值，听不懂就会苹果变成香蕉。听明白了才能作对事，事错了可以重作，人错了一生就输了。
二、今生的价值观 （V10-17）
「贪爱银子的，不因得银子知足」10-11节 钱财可以换取物质和精神的享受，钱财无法给人带来安全感，所以无论得到多少钱财，都不能叫贪心的人知足。
「劳碌的人不拘吃多吃少，睡得香甜」12节 指劳苦作工的人，他所拥有的财富虽然不多，不论他的享受多少，却能心安理得、睡得香甜。
「我见日光之下有一宗大祸患，就是财主积存资财，反害自己。」V13。
资财害了他们，使他们变得骄傲、自以为得意、贪爱世界，远离神，远离自己的责任，难以进天国，简直是自己关上了天国的门。
三、以神为乐生活（V18-20）
「善」好的，另人愉悦的事。
真正的幸福和内心的平安来自与神的正常关系。神乐意将好东西赐给祂的儿女，有劳碌才有享受。懒惰的人无缘享受神恩。
「在他劳碌中喜乐，这乃是神的恩赐」：指虽然劳苦，却仍能有满足的喜乐，这就是神的恩赐。
总结：
人带着敬畏的态度来到神的面前，聆听神的话是非常重要的。听懂了才是做对的基础。
人要有正确的价值观，上帝让我们做好金钱的管家，钱是最好的仆人，钱也是最坏的主人。
人生最重要的是以神为满足！以神为乐！
Ecclesiastes 5: Laws of Life
GK611 Morning Devotion

Speaker: Rev Moses Li + Rev David Tan
Introduction：
Ecclesiastes is telling the story of the apple and banana, where God gives the apple and man receives the banana in the end.
1. Attitude of Serving God (V1-9)
"Prudence" means to be attentive and watchful.
"Walk prudently" means to be alert and cautious before God, and to match one's outward godly behavior with an inwardly honest heart.
Hearing is more a priority than doing, hearing is more important than doing, hearing is more precious than speaking, hearing is more valuable than doing, and hearing without understanding becomes bananas. If you understand, then you can do the right thing. If you are wrong, you can do it again, but if men are wrong, you'll lose your life. 7:2 It is better to go to a house of mourning than to go to a house of feasting.
2. Values in this life (V10-17)
"He who loves silver will not be satisfied with silver" V10-11 Money can be exchanged for material and spiritual enjoyment. Money cannot bring security, so no matter how much money he gets, he cannot call the greedy man to be satisfied.
"The sleep of a laboring man is sweet, Whether he eats little or much;" verse 12 says he who toils and works, though he has little wealth, is content and sleeps soundly, no matter how much he enjoys.
"There is a severe evil which I have seen under the sun. Riches kept for their owner to his hurt. “ V13
Money has caused them to become proud, proud of themselves, lovers of the world, far from God, far from their responsibilities, and have difficulty in entering the kingdom of heaven, and have literally shut the door to heaven themselves.
3. Living with God as Pleasure (V18-20)
The "good" is good and pleasing.
True happiness and inner peace come from a normal relationship with God. God is pleased to give good things to His children, and only with labor can there be enjoyment. The lazy man has no chance to enjoy the grace of God.
"to receive his [e]heritage and rejoice in his labor—this is the gift of God. ": This means to have a contented joy in spite of labor, which is the gift of God.
Conclusion：
It is very important for people to come to God with reverence and listen to His word. Hearing and understanding is the basis for doing the right thing.
People need to have the right values. God tells us to be good stewards of money, money is the best servant and money is also the worst master.
The most important thing in life is to be satisfied with God and to be happy with God.
