箴言［第24章］|Book of Proverbs 24【胜过世界的秘诀】
08/09/2022
引言：
我们活在这个世界上，就会面对各种不同生活的挑战和诱惑。因此，我们要学习如何胜过我们所在的这个世界。
一、以智慧行事(V1-12)
1. 以智慧建造房屋(V1-4)
我们要明白，家庭的建立和稳固，是倚靠从神而来的智慧、而不是财富。当我们倚靠神所赐的智慧去建造房屋、建造家庭时，我们必因智慧让其中「充满各样美好宝贵的财物」（V4）。
同样的，我们在任何所面对的事上，如果都是倚靠神所赐的智慧，我们在各样事上都会被神所祝福与带领。
2. 以智慧得着胜利(V5-7)
圣灵除了会亲自向人显现和说话，祂也会透过人向我们启示。因此，我们也要虚心并有一颗愿意聆听别人的忠告的心，使我们在面对任何事情的时候，都能经历得胜。
我们要有神的智慧，倚靠神来开口，作个有神智慧的人。如此，愚昧人，就是恶人在城门内就不敢开口。尤其现今世代，我们更要勇敢的把神的真理带出，使我们的国家继续的活在神的光明中。
3. 以智慧避开奸恶 (V8-9)
我们特别需要有从神来的智慧来恢复公义标准的世代。我们要求神帮助我们懂得辨别哪些是来自于神，哪些是来自于世界，而不随波逐流。
4．以智慧得着能力（V10-12）
人在患难之日若胆怯，表示我们缺乏智慧，以致我们的力量就微小。然而神经常兴起各种「患难之日」，好让我们认识自己真实的属灵光景，催促我们去仰望神，倚靠神的智慧去行事。
当我们坚定的仰望祂的时候，我们就可以从神获取智慧，支撑我们走过这些艰难的岁月。
二、当远离恶人(V13-22)
1. 心要得着智慧 (V13-14)
当我们开始学习顺服神、其实就是迈出「吃蜜」的第一步。神就会让我们品尝到「甘甜」，就是倚靠祂的福气，然后这也会吸引我们继续寻求祂；直到最后心得了智慧，得以相信至终必有善报，我们就自然会远离恶人。
2. 不要结伴攻击(V15-16)
神允许义人遭难失败，因为平静的大海从来不能造就出色的水手。所以，义人跌倒是神要帮助他们，兴起他们的生命。因此，我们不要与恶人结伴攻击义人，以致我们同恶人一起被祸患倾倒。
3. 不要幸灾乐祸(V17-18)
对那些不友善、而且经常惹事生非的人，我们可能会故意忽视他，甚至暗暗地幸灾乐祸。然而，耶稣说，「要爱你们的仇敌，为那逼迫你们的祷告」（太5:44），并且要善待仇敌。因此，我们不要看到恶人遭灾的时候，就在一旁幸灾乐祸，以致我们也成为神的敌人。
4. 不要嫉妒怀怒(V19-20)
我们就算没有看见恶人遭报，我们也要相信神是公义的，并且在恶人兴旺时也不嫉妒恶人。我们要相信一切都在神的公义管理之下，即「恶人终不得善报」（V20a）。
5. 敬畏神与君王(V21-22)
神赐下律法，并且设立君王来维持社会秩序，因此我们要敬畏耶和华与君王。君王若不能秉公行义，那是他在神面前的罪，神自己也会施行祂的公义；然而，我们若以自己的方式或暴力来推翻君王，这就成了我们在神面前的罪。
三、作真实的人（V23-34）
1.当公正审判(V23-26)
一个公正公义的审判，就是法官在审判的时候，既不可看人情面，也不颠倒是非。反之，必遭人的咒诅和憎恶。
当我们按照神的真理责备恶人并应对正直，必得神和人的喜悦，美好的福也必临到我们。
2. 当诚实见证(V28-29)
我们不可在没有事实的根据下诬陷别人。尤其，不可因为别人说谎、自己就可以用说谎来报复。我们要相信神在掌权。
3. 当勤奋工作 (V27, 30-34)
神要人承担看守和修理的责任，以防人因懒惰而陷入贫穷。我们若不每日迈向追求属灵的成熟而怠慢闲懒，就会助长罪恶的荆棘，就是慢慢远离神，甚至离弃神。
总结：
现今，我们要面对许多的挑战和诱惑。因此，我们很需要神帮助我们以智慧行事、也要远离恶人，并作真实的人，使我们可以胜过这世界。
Proverbs 24:The secret of overcoming the world
Gk611 Morning Devotion
08/09/2022
Speaker: Ps Stella
As we live in this world, we will face all kinds of challenges and temptations. Therefore, we must learn how to overcome the world in which we live.
I. Act with wisdom (V1-12)
1. Building a house with wisdom (V1-4)
We need to understand that the establishment and stability of a family depends on wisdom from God, not on wealth. When we rely on the wisdom that God has given us to build houses and families, we will “By wisdom the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches.” (V4).
In the same way, if we rely on God's wisdom in everything we face, we will be blessed and guided by God in all things.
2. Victory through wisdom (V5-7)
In addition that Holy Spirit will appear and speak to people personally, the Holy Spirit also reveals to us through people. Therefore, we must also be humble and have a willing heart to listen to the advice of others, so that we can experience victory in any situation.
We must have God’s wisdom, rely on God to open our mouths, and be a person with God’s wisdom. In this way, fools, even wicked people, dare not to open their mouths at the gates of the city. Especially in the present age, we must bravely bring out the truth of God, so that our country can continue to live in the light of God.
3. Avoid evil with wisdom (V8-9)
We especially need the wisdom from God to restore a generation with the standard of righteousness. We ask God to help us know what is from God and what is from the world and not to follow the crowd.
4. Gain Power with Wisdom (V10-12)
To be fearful in the day of trouble shows that we lack wisdom and that our strength is small. Yet God often raises up various "days of adversity" so that we can recognise our true spiritual situation and urge us to look to God and act in His wisdom.
When we look firmly to Him, we can draw wisdom from God to support us through these difficult times.
II. Keep away from the wicked (V13-22)
1. The heart must gain wisdom (V13-14)
When we begin to learn to obey God, we are actually taking the first step of "eating honey". God will give us a taste of the "sweetness," the blessing of trusting in Him, and this will attract us to continue seeking Him; until we finally gain wisdom and be able to believe that there will be good things in the end, we will naturally turn away from the wicked.
2. Do not attack in groups (V15-16)
God allows the righteous to fail because calm seas never make good sailors. Therefore, when the righteous fall, God wants to help them and raise up their lives. Hence, let us not associate with the wicked against the righteous, so that we will not be tipped over with the wicked.
3. Do not gloat (V17-18)
We may deliberately ignore or even secretly gloat over someone who is unkind and often causes trouble. However, Jesus said, "love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you" (Matt. 5:44) and be kind to your enemies. Therefore, we should not rejoice in the misfortune of the wicked, otherwise we would also become the enemies of God.
4. Don't be jealous or angry (V19-20)
Even if we do not see the wicked suffer, we must believe that God is just and not to get jealous of the wicked when they prosper. We are to believe that everything is governed by God's righteousness, that "for there will be no prospect for the evil man" (V20a).
5. Fear God and Kings (V21-22)
God gave laws and established kings to maintain social order, so we must fear the Lord and the king. If a king fails to do justice, that is his sin before God, and God Himself will perform His justice; however, if we overthrow the king by our own means or violence, it becomes our sin before God.
III. Be a real person (V23-34)
1. Be a fair judge (V23-26)
A fair and just trial means that when the judge is judging, he should neither look at the favour from men nor reverse the right and wrong. On the contrary, they will be cursed and hated by people.
When we rebuke the wicked and deal with uprightness according to God's truth, we will please God and man, and good blessings will come to us.
2. Be an honest witness (V28-29)
We must not frame others without a basis in fact. In particular, do not seek revenge by lying because others lie. We have to believe that God is in control.
3. Be hardworking (V27, 30-34)
God requires man to take on the responsibility of guarding and repairing, for fear that man be brought into poverty by laziness. If we did not strive for spiritual maturity every day, we might get lazy and be sluggish, hence overgrown with thorns of wickedness which will slowly turn away from God, even to forsake God.
Conclusion：
Today, we face many challenges and temptations. Therefore, we need God's help to act wisely, to shun the wicked, and to be real person so that we can overcome the world.
