(482) 「灵粮主题 TODAY’s Topic」：诚实工作行事完全的为神所喜悦 Work Honestly and Act Completely to Please God

「灵粮经节 TODAY’s Verses」：「智慧的所罗门王在今日灵粮的箴言经节中劝诫给我们说： “恶人经营，得虚浮的工价；撒义种的，得实在的果效。恒心为义的，必得生命；追求邪恶的，必致死亡。心中乖僻的，为耶和华所憎恶；行事完全的，为他所喜悦。恶人虽然连手，必不免受罚；义人的後裔必得拯救。”; The wise King Solomon exhorted us in the verses of Proverbs with this Spiritual Food TODAY, and said: ” A wicked person earns deceptive wages, but the one who sows righteousness reaps a sure reward. Truly the righteous attain life, but whoever pursues evil finds death. The LORD detests those whose hearts are perverse, but he delights in those whose ways are blameless. Be sure of this: The wicked will not go unpunished, but those who are righteous will go free.” 」(箴言 Proverbs 11: 18-21 节）

「灵粮分享 TODAY’s Sharing」： 今晨在「今日圣言 Holy Word Today」里，读到鲍勃牧师和黛比加 斯夫人 Rev. Bob & Mrs. Debby Gass 写了一篇， “如何在工作中蒙福” 的分享。牧者鲍勃引用所罗门王的智慧与其箴言Proverbs 10: 2 节，来描述如何在工作中蒙福，且知道不义之财是毫无益处，惟有公义赚来的钱财，才能救人脱离犯罪死亡的惩罚。也就是「今日灵粮 Spiritual Food TODAY」 主题要分享的, “诚实工作行事完全的为神所喜悦” 。鲍勃牧师给我们解释道：为了在工作中蒙福，我们必须操练这一品格：诚实。盗窃是不明智的，即使你永远不会被抓住。牧者今日所引用的箴言 10 章第 2 节，明明告诉我们， “不义之财毫无益处，… 。” 你也许行窃却侥幸逃脱惩罚，但你不会从中受益。箴言 13:11 节也在警告我们， “不义之财必耗尽，… 。” 你不可能做了错误的事情却得到正确的结果。不仅仅是你自己会有麻烦，而且你还会给那些爱你和依靠你的人带来麻烦。因为，箴言 15:27 节也再提醒我们，“贪爱财富，自害己家；… 。” 想一想：你有可能失去你的工作，毁坏你的名声，蒙受耻辱，面对你整个家庭要付出的代价和承担的法律后果，并以羞愧告终，这一切都会给你的孩子带来负面的影响。你的配偶值得拥有一个诚实的伴侣，你的孩子值得拥有一个诚实的榜样，相信你所走的路他们跟着走是安全的。

电台评论员保罗·哈维 Paul Harvey 指出，有 40% 的美国人承认在工作中偷过东西，其中 25% 的人觉得这么做是合理的。他们为自己辩解说：“人人都这么做，我为什么不可以呢？老板负担得起，他不会放在心里的 … 这只是小事，不会有什么影响 … 公司欠了我的，我只不过是拿回属于我自己的东西 … 这是我该得到的。我辛苦地工作，却从来没有得到认可。” 但是，神对此是怎么说的？ 今日灵粮所引用的经节箴言11:18 节里意眛着告诉我们，“恶人赚来的转眼成空。” 当你欺骗你的雇主时，《圣经》说你是 “恶人”。在所有的人当中，你的雇主和顾客应该能够相信基督的跟随者是诚实的，赚取他们的工资，并提供优质的服务。大家星期五开心与周末愉快！

「灵粮祷告 TODAY’s Prayer」：「今日灵粮 Spiritual Food TODAY」 也就引用箴言 21: 6-7 节和大家在主的爱里相互勉励祷告。鲍勃牧师在今日的分享里，就是在教导提醒我们要，“如何在工作中蒙福”。所以在今日灵粮结语所引用的箴言经节里，智慧的所罗门王再次提醒我们：“用诡诈之舌求财的，就是自己取死；所得之财乃是吹来吹去的浮云。恶人的强暴必将自己扫除，因他们不肯按公平行事。”求神帮助我们一生也都能过着富有属灵的生命，生活谋生就是多么困难，都得牢牢记住，“诚实工作行事完全的为神所喜悦”！祷告奉主名求的，阿们！

In "今日圣言 Holy Word Today " this morning, I read the sharing of " How to Be Blessed at Work " written by Rev. Bob & Mrs. Debby Gass. Pastor Bob quoted Proverbs 10: 2 written by the wise King Solomon. This verse describes as to how to be blessed at work, and know that ill-gotten gains are of no benefit, and only riches earned righteously can save people from committing crime or death penalty. That is what the theme of "今日灵粮 Spiritual Food TODAY" is about to share, " Work Honestly and Act Completely to Please God ". Pastor Bob explained to us: In order to be blessed at work, we must practice this quality: “Honesty.” Stealing is unwise, even if you will never get caught. Proverbs 10:2, which the pastor quoted today, clearly tells us, "Ill-gotten gains do no good, . . . " You may steal and get away with it, but you will not benefit from it. Proverbs 13:11 also warns us, "The ill-gotten gains will be spent, . . . " You cannot do the wrong thing and get the right result. Not only will you be in trouble, but you will be in trouble for those who love you and depend on you. Because, again, Proverbs 15:27 reminds us, "The love of riches is to the detriment of one's own house ..." Think about it: you may lose your job, ruin your reputation, suffer disgrace, and face the threat of your whole family. The price and legal consequences, and the shame that comes with it, can all have a negative impact on your child. Your spouse deserves an honest partner, and your children deserve an honest example, believing that the path you walk is safe for them to follow.

Radio commentator Paul Harvey noted that 40 percent of Americans admit to stealing at work, and 25 percent of them feel it is reasonable to do so. They justified themselves and said: "Everyone is doing it, why can't I? The boss can afford it, and he will not take it to heart ... It is just a trivial matter; it will not have any impact ... The company owes me, it is just taking back what's mine ... it is what I would serve. I've worked so hard and never been recognized." But what does God say about that? Proverbs 11:18, which is quoted in the sharing for the “今日灵粮 Spiritual Food TODAY,” tells us that "the gains of the wicked are gone in a blink of an eye." When you deceive your employer, the Bible says that you are a "wicked person". Of all people, your employers and customers should be able to trust that followers of Christ are honest, earn their wages, and provide quality service. Happy Friday and great weekend everyone!

In conclusion, “今日灵粮 Spiritual Food TODAY” would like to quote Proverbs 21:6-7 and encourages to pray for each other in the love of the Lord. In today's sharing, Pastor Bob is teaching and reminding us, “How to be blessed at work". Therefore, in the verses quoted for the conclusion of today's spiritual food, the wise King Solomon once again reminded us in the Proverbs that: " A fortune made by a lying tongue is a fleeting vapour and a deadly snare. The violence of the wicked will drag them away, for they refuse to do what is right. " May God help us to live a rich and spiritual life throughout our lives. No matter how difficult it is to make a living, we must keep in mind, and always "Work Honestly and Act Completely to Please God”! Pray in the name of the Lord, Amen!
