(455) 「灵粮主题 TODAY’s Topic」：避免嫉妒拿自己跟他人比较 Avoid Jealousy Comparing Yourself to Others

「灵粮经节 TODAY’s Verses」：「你们想经上所说是徒然的么？神所赐、住在我们里面的灵，是恋爱至于嫉妒么？但他赐更多的恩典，所以经上说：神阻挡骄傲的人，赐恩给谦卑的人；Or do you think Scripture says without reason that he jealously longs for the spirit he has caused to dwell in us? But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.” 」（雅各书 James 4: 5-6 节）

「灵粮分享 TODAY’s Sharing」： 今晨在「今日圣言」里，读到鲍勃和黛比加斯夫人 Rev. Bob & Mrs. Debby Gass 写了一篇 “永远不要嫉妒” 的分享。牧者引用箴言 Proverbs 14: 30 节，描述 “心中安静是肉体的生命；嫉妒是骨中的朽烂。” 也就是灵粮主题要分享的 “避免嫉妒拿自己跟他人比较” 。牧者解释道， 请注意 “肉体的生命” 这个词组。如果你想在心理、情感、灵性和身体上健康，那就不要给嫉妒让路，否则它会吞噬你。妒火中烧的人，是生活过得最痛苦的人。嫉妒啃蚀他们并偷走他们的喜乐。他们几乎不考虑别的事，只是想着别人拥有他们想要的东西，这反而导致了怨恨和纷争。牧者劝勉我们要如何克服嫉妒：（1）承认自己有这个问题；（2）悔改并祈求上帝的帮助；（3）为你所嫉妒的那个人祷告。刚开始时你可能会感到尴尬，但如果你持续这么做的话，神就会改变你的心，并以爱来替代嫉妒。开始和别人一起庆贺他们的成功，并特别地赞扬他们。谨记，没有人比你更擅长做你自己。因此，你没有竞争对手。当你在神面前对自己的身份有安全感时，你就不必嫉妒任何人，或是跟他们比较了。大家星期五开心，周末愉快！

「灵粮祷告 TODAY’s Prayer」：今日灵粮也就引用箴言 Proverbs 3: 34-35 节，和大家在主的爱里相互勉励和祷告。在这经节里，智慧的所罗门王对有关谦卑的话题，给了我们有个教导，“避免嫉妒拿自己跟他人比较” 。因为智慧的人知道神：“他讥诮那好讥诮的人，赐恩给谦卑的人。智慧人必承受尊荣；愚昧人高升也成为羞辱。“ 为此我们就明白，为什么不要总是拿自己跟他人比较，或是专注于他人在做什么、买什么、穿什么，以及跟谁来往等。祈求神帮助我们能够信任邻舍和所爱的人，不要总要查问他们？好让我们能拥有智慧，做个神喜悦的谦卑有喜乐的人。祷告奉主名求的。阿门 !

This morning in "今日圣言 Today's Word", I read the sharing of "never be jealous" written by Rev. Bob & Mrs. Debby Gass. The pastor quotes Proverbs 14:30, which describes " heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones." That is what this spiritual food theme is going to share, "Avoid Jealousy Comparing Yourself to Others". Pastor Gass explained, notice the phrase "life of the body." If you want to be mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically healthy, don't give way to jealousy or it will eat you up. People who are jealous are the people who live the most miserable life. Jealousy gnaws at them and steals their joy. They don't think about anything else except that others have what they want, which leads to resentment and strife. The pastor exhorts us how to overcome jealousy: (1) admit that we have the problem; (2) repent and ask God for help; (3) pray for the person you are jealous of. You may be embarrassed at first, but if you keep doing it, God will change your heart and replace jealousy with love. Start celebrating their successes with others and give them special praise. Remember, no one is better at being yourself than you. Therefore, you have no competition. When you feel secure about who you are before God, you don't have to be jealous of anyone or compare yourself to them. Happy Friday everyone and happy weekend!

To this end, 今日灵粮 Spiritual Food Today would like to quote Proverbs 3: 34-35, and encouraged to pray with everyone in the love of our Lord and understand it. In this verse, the wise King Solomon teaches us on the subject of humility, " Avoid Jealousy Comparing Yourself to Others." For the wise know God, " He mocks proud mockers but shows favor to the humble and oppressed. The wise inherit honor, but fools get only shame." Therefore, we see why we should not always take ourselves to compare yourself with others, or focus on what others are doing, buying, wearing, and with whom. Pray that God will help us to trust our neighbors and love our loved ones without always asking them? Grant us to have wisdom and be humble of being a joyful people that please God. Pray in the name of the Lord. Amen!
