Jehovah hears the prayer of the righteous
W4 2010-08-19 (箴15:1-15:33)
經文: 箴言 15:4 溫良的舌是生命樹；乖謬的嘴使人心碎。
默想: 舌頭是上帝賞賜給人類很寶貴的禮物。舌頭能夠把我們內心的思想、情感與意志，經由語言表達出來。由於這是人與人之間能夠將彼此的心意溝通的很重要管道。因此，我們的舌頭，可以影響別人的心情與生命。求主保守我的口舌，讓我的口所說出來的話語，是能夠造就人、安慰人的話語，而不會說出使人心碎，讓人喪志的話語。
題目: 本段經文有那些與人際溝通有關的教導呢？
“A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger”(Pr 15: 1). The day before yesterday I had a quarrel with my colleague. She is a Christian as well. We both raised our voice when we were arguing, which no doubt results in intense relationship between us. I’m surprised that she apologized to me today since she is much more senior to me. She quoted this verse in her apology so these words seem pretty striking to me.
回覆刪除I wish to have a heart of the righteous for “it weighs its answers, but the mouth of the wicked gushes evil”(15:28). It does take wisdom in communicating with others.
大家平安
回覆刪除「聽從生命責備的，必常在智慧人中。棄絕管教的，輕看自己的生命；聽從責備的，卻得智慧。」(15:31-32)
在被責備時，求主讓我從中得著生命的智慧與益處，又不致產生自卑或否定自己。
Ps.謝謝Yi-ting的見證分享。
「箴 15:33 敬畏耶和華、是智慧的訓誨‧尊榮以前、必有謙卑。」
回覆刪除一個謙卑的人，不以自己的經驗為判斷，乃思量如何回答；有醫治的話語，播揚知識，彼此相愛，止息紛爭，先與謀士商議，口善應對、話合其時，總是良言好信息。
Dear All, Peng An,
回覆刪除I think "a positive response" is helpful for communication with others. However, it is not easy to have "a positive response" especially when you are very angry. One problem is about personal pride. If we can understand there may have some lessons from God in the criticism, then we should learn how to listen carefully and have a positive response.

本段經文與人際溝通有關的教導如下:
回覆刪除一、回答柔和，口善應對。
二、善發知識，忍怒止戈。
三、事先商議，眾志成城。
四、領受責備，得著見識。
五、尊敬父母，常使喜樂。
六、愛宴分享，彼此相愛。
七、不貪財利，家道平安。
而以上若建立在【敬畏耶和華是智慧的訓誨；尊榮以前，必有謙卑。】的基礎上，將會帶出基督生命的光彩與果效。
