不輕易發怒—-詩篇37:8［當止住怒氣, 離棄忿怒. 不要心懷不平, 以致作惡.］［故事］有一個人常常發脾氣, 稍有不如意, 就動起怒來. 他檢討原因, 認為每次的發怒都是由於別人引起的. 他為了能改善自己的修養, 因此決定一個人躲在到深山修身養性. 有一天, 他拿著水罐去河邊取水. 一不小心, 把裝滿水的罐子弄倒了, 他只好再去取水. 但是走到一半, 又把水罐的水灑了一地. 連續三次都是如此, 他一氣之下, 把整個罐子摔碎在地上. 他看著滿地的碎片, 自責的說”我以前發怒, 都以為是別人引起的, 現在只有我一個人, 也能發這麼大的脾氣, 可見怒氣不是別人引起的, 是自己心中生出來的.” [思考］當我們想要把錯誤推給他人時, 往往自己才是問題的根源. 好好的自我檢討, 從心裏順服, 才有真正的平和. 而當耶穌在心中作王時, 問題才能真正的解決. [禱告］我們天上的父神, 我們來到祢的施恩寶座前, 祈求祢的慈愛和憐憫. 我們常常對人心存嫉妒和覺得不公平, 很容易發怒, 傷害自己也傷害別人. 求主幫助我們, 常常依靠祢, 控制我們的情緒和言行, 不輕易發怒, 使我們全然交托, 心中有祢同在. 禱告是奉主耶穌基督的名, 阿們！
Slow to anger – Psalm 37:8 [Cease your anger and forsake wrath. Do not harbor grievances that lead to evil.] [Story] There was a man who often lost his temper. When something went wrong, he became angry. He examined the reason. , thinking that every time he got angry was caused by others. In order to improve his self-cultivation, he decided to hide in the mountains alone to cultivate his character. One day, he took a water jug to the river to get water. Accidentally, he pretended to The full jar fell over, so he had to go to get more water. But halfway through, he spilled the water in the jar all over the floor. This happened three times in a row. In a fit of anger, he smashed the entire jar to the ground. He looked at it. There were pieces all over the floor, and he blamed himself and said, “When I got angry before, I thought it was caused by others. Now I am the only one who can lose such a big temper. It shows that anger is not caused by others, but comes from my own heart.” [Thinking] When we want to blame others for our mistakes, we are often the source of the problem. Only through good self-examination and obedience from the heart can we have real peace. And when Jesus reigns in the heart, the problem can truly be resolved Solution. [Prayer] Our Father God in heaven, we come before your throne of grace and ask for your love and mercy. We often feel jealous of others and feel unfair, and we easily get angry, hurting ourselves and others. Lord, please help us to always rely on You, control our emotions and words and deeds, be slow to anger, and enable us to fully surrender and have Your presence in our hearts. This prayer is in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen!
