箴言［第1章］|Book of Proverbs 1【要作智慧的达人】
21/04/2023
引言：全世界都有各自的“达人秀”！Everywhere Got Talent，各国各处都有天才“达人”······！
每一个读《箴言》的基督徒都可以成为神国达人！
一、箴言有妙用（1:1-6）
1.心思通达能分辨（V1-2）
神是一切智慧的源头，喜爱祂的话，尤其思考箴言中的训诲，有能力理解和分辨什么话该说？如何说？若能够在口舌上没有过失，他就是完全人。（雅各书 3:2 原来我们在许多事上都有过失；若有人在话语上没有过失，他就是完全人，也能勒住自己的全身。）
2.行事正直显智慧（V3-6）
领受箴言的训诲可以让人做事有公义、公平、正直，这岂不是一个英明领导者所当具备的素质吗？原来读箴言有这效用。而且对于本来不聪明的人会变聪明、本来很聪明的人也会增长学问。换言之，要孩子成为人上之人，看来必须多读箴言了。
二、尊荣有赏赐（1:7-9）
全备的知识与智慧原来不是单靠多读书，而是对神敬畏有尊荣。对父母的听从，这又是一种尊荣的文化。如此行的人原来会得荣耀的冠冕，有贵重和美丽的金链；意思说大有奖赏。世人都往求学和努力工作的方式去求取知识和奖赏，原来关键是敬畏神和尊荣在上的权柄。
三、好儿当自强（1:10-19）
1.不要随波逐流行恶事（V10-14）
所罗门王以为父的心对子民孩子说话；其实是父神透过王的文字对世上所有的儿女们说话。不要随从世界的价值理念行为去作恶事，那将是死路一条。不要受了钱财的利诱而上当。
2.不要同流合污害己命（V15-19）
不要和恶人同流合污，一起干伤天害理的事，因为最终事情必会败露，想谋财害命的人最终都害了自己的生命。钱财的诱惑是很可怕的，世上有很多关系都可以因为钱的事情而六亲不认，翻脸成仇。
四、领受灵与粮（1:20-33）
1.智慧发出呼召（V20-23）
智慧可以被誉为耶稣基督，祂对世人发出呼召，要罪人悔改而归向神；就必经历圣灵的浇灌，还有圣言的指引。
2.罪人拒绝回应（V24-32）
人的沉沦灭亡不是因为没有蒙恩的机会，而是不愿相信和接受“智慧”的呼召，硬心拒绝了神的拯救。今天“智慧”仍然在呼召我们悔改，回应祂的托付，起来悔改，成为有见证和影响力的人。这时代需要智慧的见证人，你愿意被主兴起吗？
总结：你想成为安枕无忧的达人吗？
我们都期待成为一个蒙福的达人，甚至可以安枕无忧的行走人生。最终离不开一句圣经常说的话：“V33 惟有听从我的，必安然居住，得享安静，不怕灾祸。”
Proverbs 1: Be a wise talent
GK611 Morning Devotion
21/04/2023
Speaker: Rev David Tan
Everywhere Got Talent, there are talented "talents" in every country and everywhere ------! Every Christian who reads the book of Proverbs can become a man of God!
1. Proverbs has wonderful uses (1:1-6)
(1) A clear mind can discern (V1-2)
God is the source of all wisdom, so if you love His words, especially when you think about the teachings in Proverbs, you will be able to understand and discern what to say and how to say it. How to say it? If he is able to speak without fault, he is a perfect man. (James 3:2 If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body.)
(2) Act uprightly and show wisdom (v3-6)
Isn't it a quality of a wise leader to receive the teachings of Proverbs so that one can act with righteousness, fairness, and integrity? So reading Proverbs has this effect. And for those who are not wise, they become wise, and for those who are wise, they grow in knowledge. In other words, if we want our children to be the best, it seems we must read more Proverbs.
2. Honour and glory have rewards (1:7-9)
The fullness of knowledge and wisdom turns out not to be based on more study alone, but on honour and respect for the fear of God. Obedience to parents, which is another culture of honour. He who does so is crowned with glory, and has a precious and beautiful golden chain; it means a great reward. The world seeks knowledge and rewards by studying and working hard, but the key is the fear of God and the honour of the authority above.
3. Good children should strengthen themselves (1:10-19)
(1) Don't follow the crowd and do evil things (V10-14)
King Solomon thought that the heart of the Father spoke to the children of his people; in fact, it was God the Father who spoke to all the children of the world through the King's words. Do not follow the world's values and behaviour to do evil, it will be a death sentence. Do not be tempted by money to fall for it.
(2) Don't be a partner in evil and harm your own life (V15-19)
Don't be a partner with the wicked and do evil deeds together, because eventually things will come to light and those who want to seek money and harm their lives will end up harming their own lives. The temptation of money is terrible, and there are many relationships in the world that can be turned against each other because of money.
4. Receiving the Spirit and the Bread (1:20-33)
(1) Wisdom issues a call (V20-23)
Wisdom can be hailed as Jesus Christ, who issued a call to the world for sinners to repent and turn to God; they will experience the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and the guidance of the Word.
(2) The sinner refuses to respond (V24-32)
Man's sinking and perishing is not due to the lack of opportunity for grace, but to his unwillingness to believe and accept the call to "wisdom", and his hardening of heart to reject God's salvation. Today "wisdom" is still calling us to repent, to respond to His commission, to rise up in repentance, and to become witnesses and influencers. These times need wise witnesses. Are you willing to be raised up by the Lord?
Conclusion: Do you want to be a restful and secure person?
We all expect to be a blessed person, and even to walk through life with no worries. Ultimately, we cannot live without the words of the Holy Spirit, "V33 But whoever listens to me will dwell safely, And will be secure, without fear of evil."
