【SCRIPTURE 经文】：“不要嫉妒罪人，要终日敬畏耶和华。”; “Let not your heart envy sinners, but continue in the fear of the Lord all the day.” (箴言 Proverbs 23:17)

【SHARING 分享】: 《今日灵粮 Spiritual FOOD TODAY》 分享的经文是箴言 Proverbs 23:17。许多圣经学者认为，这是圣经中智者所罗门王的呼召，教导和警告我们，要弃绝对恶人的嫉妒和贪欲，认识到他们暴力和麻烦的道路最终会导致毁灭。与其贪图邪恶的暂时利益，不如专注于公义，在圣灵的引导下，用上帝的智慧和永恒的视角过圣洁的生活，这样的生活不会像世俗的欲望那样欺骗或消逝。今日灵粮分享这节经文是为了提醒我们，真正的成功和满足感来自于过正直的生活，走上帝鼓励的圣洁之路，而不是来自邪恶的暂时诱惑。

考门夫人 Rev. Lettie Cowman 的荒漠甘泉 Wells of Grace 的专栏中，圣经作家玛格丽特·波顿 Margaret Bottome 发表了一篇题为 “不要感到沮丧或不公平” 的讲道，引用了诗篇 Psalm 37:1，劝诫我们 “不要因人作恶而恼怒，也不要嫉妒作恶的” 。波顿解释说，这是上帝的诫命，类似于出埃及记 Exodus 20:15 中的 “不可偷盗” 。那么，感到不公平究竟是什么意思呢？她举了以下例子： (1) “表面变得粗糙不平” ；或 (2) “摩擦或磨损” 。一个心怀怨恨、不讲道理或吹毛求疵的人不仅会损害自己，也会损害他人。 “脾气暴躁” 意味着经常感到烦恼。这是有害的，上帝不希望我们伤害自己。医生会告诉你，愤怒比发烧更有害。

因此，一个经常 “脾气暴躁” 的人不可能保持健康。我们知道怨恨容易导致愤怒，愤怒容易导致狂怒。所以，让我们遵守上帝的诫命：“不要心怀不满！” 正如所罗门王今日的箴言 Proverbs 23:17 中鼓励我们过平安圣洁的生活：“不要嫉妒罪人，要终日敬畏耶和华。” 敬畏上帝，我们被应许拥有安全的未来和永恒的盼望。这鼓励我们将注意力从他人的暂时利益转移到顺服上帝所带来的永恒盼望上。 The scripture shared on "今日灵粮 Spiritual FOOD TODAY " is Proverbs 23:17. Many Bible scholars believe this is a call from the biblical wise man, King Solomon, to teach and warn us to abandon envy and lust for the wicked, recognizing that their violent and troublesome paths ultimately lead to destruction. Rather than coveting the temporary gains of evil, we should focus on righteousness, guided by the Holy Spirit, and living a holy life with God's wisdom and eternal perspective, which will not deceive or fade away like worldly desires. "今日灵粮 Spiritual FOOD TODAY " shares this scripture to remind us that true success and fulfillment come from living an upright life and walking the path of holiness encouraged by God, not from the temporary temptations of evil.

In a column by Rev. Lettie Cowman of “Wells of Grace, biblical author Margaret Bottome published a sermon titled “Don’t Feel Frustrated or Unfair,” quoting Psalm 37:1, which exhorts us to “not be mad at others for doing evil, nor be envious of those who work evil.” Bottome explains that this is a command from God, similar to Exodus 20:15, “You Shall Not Steal.” So, what exactly does it mean to feel unfair? She gives the following examples: (1) “a surface becomes rough and uneven”; or (2) “friction or wear and tear.” A person who is resentful, unreasonable, or critical wears not only himself but others as well. To be “grouchy” means to be constantly troubled. This is harmful, and God does not want us to hurt ourselves. A doctor will tell you that anger is more harmful than a fever.

Therefore, a person who is constantly “grouchy” cannot stay healthy. We know that resentment easily leads to anger, and anger easily leads to rage. So, let us obey God's command: "Do not be discontented!" As King Solomon encourages us to live peaceful and holy lives in today’s Proverbs 23:17, "Do not envy sinners; let the fear of the Lord be with you all the day long." By fearing God, we are promised a secure future and an unfailing hope. This encourages us to shift our focus from the temporary interests of others to the eternal hope that comes from obeying God. 【054】 Whisper Web transfers this sharing from Dr. John King 张皇卿博士 on “今日灵粮 Spiritual FOOD TODAY” at 分享自脸书网站：www.facebook.com/johnking9999 和 and 维克斯站：johnking9999.wixsite.com/website Edmonton, AB, Canada Friday 10.24..2025.
