主讲:区箴唤实习传道 + 陈炎明牧师

24/03/2023


引言:

这章经文讲述的分别是对丈夫和对妻子的箴言,是我们一生需要不断学习去活出来的。 值得留意的是,在读的时候我们要为自己读,而不是为配偶读。但是当你读到你配偶有的一些优点,你就可以去好好地称赞配偶。

一、致丈夫(1-8)

1. 不好色邪荡(3)
神命定丈夫要成为有影响力的权柄者,不单是从这个部分的经文我们能够看到,从论贤妻的V23我们也同样可以看见。而这章箴言首先要提醒作丈夫的,要保守自己免于陷入好色邪荡的生命中。因为这样就会耽误正事和朝政,以至于他就无法没有活出神给权柄的美好旨意。

2. 不与酒为伴(4-7)
这里第二个提醒,是讲到属神的丈夫不要与酒为伴,免得因为醉酒就忘记神的心意,颠倒是非,做出错误的行径。

3. 当施行公义(8-9)
第三个对属神的丈夫的提醒,是要运用自己的权柄施行公义,为受屈的人,尤其是因处在弱势中而受屈的人,来申冤。

二、致妻子(10-31)

1. 活出美好的生命

(1)值得信赖(11)
属神的妻子是丈夫所信赖的,并带给丈夫许多的益处。

(2)殷勤管理(13, 18-19,24,27)
属神的妻子殷勤地管理家中现有的需要,也按着自己的能力去帮补家里的经济!

(3)对人有爱(20,26)
属神的妻子对人有爱,无论是透过话语,还是透过行为,都是于人有益的。

(4)保护家人(21-22)
属神的妻子会做好各样能够保护家人的准备。

(5)充满盼望(25)
属神的妻子因为满有神的能力在她的身上,所以她能够对着未来充满盼望。

2. 结出丰盛的果子

(1) 家得照顾(14-15)
属神的妻子结出美好的果子,首先第一个果子就是她的家得到美好的照顾。

(2)财务富足(16)
属神的妻子结出来的第二个果子,就是因着她很好地管理家中的财富,使得她就能够建造起一个财务富足的家庭!

(3)身心有力(17)
属神的妻子也懂得照顾自己的需要,使得自己身心有力,以至于她能继续地服事家庭,并服事众人。

(4)助夫成功(12,23)
属神的妻子更是丈夫的好帮手,她为了能够成就神对丈夫的命定,她愿意做一个360度全方位的女主人,去让丈夫没有后顾之忧。所以属神的妻子,能够结出的最美好的果子,就是让丈夫能够成功。

3. 得着属神的赞赏

(1)来自神的话语(10,30)
属神的妻子必得赞赏,首先第一个她要得的,就是因着她对神的敬畏和对丈夫的价值,她就要得着神话语的赞赏。

(2)来自她的儿女(28a)
属神的妻子也必得儿女的赞赏。

(3)来自她的丈夫(28b-29)
属神的妻子更要得丈夫的赞赏,并认定妻子就是最适合自己的帮助者!

(4)来自她的所做(31)
属神的妻子所做的,尤其是她对着丈夫的付出,使得丈夫能够进入到神的命定,必使得她也得到众人的赞赏!

总结:

作为丈夫,我们要禁戒酒色等等会让我们成瘾的诱惑,我们当带着清醒的头脑,来使用神所要赐给我们的权柄,去施行出神的公义。

作为妻子,我们要活出一切属神的美好品格,使得我们自己和我们的家都能够结出各样美好的果子,并且最终我们也要因此就得着美好的赞赏!

Proverbs 31: Words to husbands and wives
GK611 Morning Devotion
24/03/2023
Speaker: Ps Moses Ou + Rev David Tan

Introduction:

This chapter is about the proverbs for husbands and wives respectively, which we need to keep learning to live out throughout our lives. It is important to note that when reading it we are to read it for ourselves, not for our spouse. But when you read some of the good things your spouse has, you can go ahead and praise your spouse well.

1. To the husband (1-8)

(1) Not to be lustful and wicked (3)
God ordained that husbands be influential and powerful, as we can see not only from this section of Scripture, but also from V23 on the virtuous wife. And this chapter of Proverbs begins by reminding husbands to keep themselves from falling into a life of lust and debauchery. For then he will delay his business and government, so that he will not be able to live out the good purpose of God's authority. 2.

(2) Do not keep company with wine (4-7)
The second reminder here is that godly husbands should not keep company with wine, lest they forget the mind of God through drunkenness, and pervert right and wrong, and do wrong.

(3) To do justice (8-9)
The third reminder for Godly husbands is to use their authority to do justice, and to redress the grievances of those who have been wronged, especially those who have been wronged because they are in a weak position.

2. To Wives (10-31)

(1). Live a good life

(a) Trustworthy (11)
A godly wife is trusted by her husband and brings him many benefits.

(b) Diligent management (13, 18-19, 24, 27)
A godly wife diligently manages the needs of her family and helps the family financially according to her ability!

(c) Love for others (20, 26)
A godly wife has love for people, both through words and deeds, which is beneficial to people.

(d) Protecting the family (21-22)
A godly wife is prepared to protect her family in every way.

(e) Full of hope (25)
A Godly wife is full of hope for the future because she has the power of God in her.

(2). bearing abundant fruit

(a) The home is taken care of (14-15)
A godly wife bears good fruit, and the first and foremost fruit is that her home is well cared for.

(b) Financial Abundance (16)
The second fruit of a godly wife is that she manages the wealth of her family well, so that she can build a financially rich family!

(c) Strength of mind and body (17)
A godly wife also knows how to take care of her own needs, making herself physically and mentally strong, so that she can continue to serve her family and the people.

(d) Helping her husband succeed (12, 23)
A godly wife is a good helper for her husband. She is willing to be a 360-degree wife in order to fulfill God's destiny for her husband, so that he can have no worries. Therefore, the most beautiful fruit a godly wife can bear is to enable her husband to succeed.

(3) to receive Godly appreciation

(a) From the Word of God (10:30)
The first thing she will receive is the appreciation of God's Word because of her fear of God and her value to her husband.

(b) From her children (28a)
The wife of God will also receive the appreciation of her children.

(c) From her husband (28b-29)
A godly wife will be appreciated by her husband, and will decide that she is the best helper for her!

(d) From what she does (31)
What a godly wife does, especially what she gives to her husband, so that he can enter into God's destiny, will make her appreciated by all!

Conclusion:

As husbands, we are to abstain from the temptation of alcohol and sex, which can lead to addiction, and we are to use the authority God wants to give us with a clear mind to carry out God's righteousness.

As wives, we are to live out all the good characteristics of God so that we and our family can bear all kinds of good fruit and ultimately we will be well appreciated for it!
