謙卑忍耐—-傳道書7:8［事情的終局, 強如事情的起頭. 存心忍耐的, 勝過居心驕傲的.］［故事］有一位女士, 正要搭飛機去某地. 在候機室她買了一包好吃的餅乾, 當她翻開心愛的小說, 正準備好輕鬆的邊看邊吃時, 她發現坐在她旁邊的一位男士, 居然打開她的那包餅乾, 並且放在椅子上, 毫不猶豫的吃著. 她心想怎麼會有這樣的人, 她也不客氣的拿起餅來吃, 兩人就你一片, 我一片的搶著吃. 她滿肚子怨氣, 想不到會有這樣貪小便宜的人. 那男士臨上飛機竞然還對她笑一笑. 當她在飛機上坐定後, 想拿起袋中尚未看完的小說, 一包完整的餅乾竟出現在她的袋中, 原來剛才吃的那袋餅乾不是她的. ［思考］我們是否也曾發生這類似的糗事？ 在未了解事情原由之前, 而自我的私下論斷, 結果犯錯而尷尬不堪. ［禱告］親愛的主耶穌. 祢曾經給我們立下謙卑忍耐的榜樣, 凡事都為了遵行上帝的旨意. 求天父幫助我們, 放下自我和驕傲的心, 做事避免太衝動, 以免被誤事又得罪人. 幫助我們常常尋求祢的心意, 做有智慧的人, 能夠有精明的判斷力, 讓我們所做的榮耀祢的聖名. 禱告是奉主耶穌基督的名, 阿們！
Humility and Patience – Ecclesiastes 7:8 [The end of a thing is better than the beginning. Better is he who is patient than is proud.] [Story] There was a lady who was about to take a plane to a certain place. She was waiting for the flight. She bought a package of delicious biscuits in the room. When she opened her favorite novel and was about to relax while reading, she found that a man sitting next to her actually opened her package of biscuits, and She put it on the chair and ate it without hesitation. She thought how could such a person exist, so she picked up the cake and ate it without any courtesy. You and I both had one piece, and I grabbed each piece. She was full of resentment. , she never imagined that there would be such a petty and cheap person. The man even smiled at her before getting on the plane. When she sat down on the plane, she wanted to pick up the novel she had not finished reading in her bag, but a complete package of biscuits came out. Now in her bag, it turns out that the bag of biscuits she just ate was not hers. [Thinking] Has a similar embarrassing incident happened to us? Before understanding the cause of the matter, I made private judgments and ended up making mistakes and being embarrassed. [Prayer] Dear Lord Jesus. You have set an example of humility and patience for us, doing everything in order to obey the will of God. Ask Heavenly Father for help. Let us put aside our egos and pride, and avoid being too impulsive in doing things, so as not to be mistaken and offend others. Help us to always seek your will, be wise people, and be able to make shrewd judgments, so that what we do glorifies you. Holy Name. This prayer is in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen!
