慢慢地動怒—-雅各書1:19B-20[要快快地聽, 慢慢地說, 慢慢地, 動怒, 因為人的怒氣並不成就神的義.] [故事]張三與同事坐在辦公室聊天, 他感嘆李四的才華非常好, 是一個不錯的人才, 只可惜有兩項很糟糕的缺點:一項是脾氣不好, 容易動怒. 另一項是做事魯莽. 這時, 李四剛好經過, 聽見了張三的議論, 立刻大發脾氣, 拿起拳頭, 動手痛揍張三, 同事趕緊拉開李四. 並問他為何要打張三?李四氣呼呼地說”你們評評理, 我什麼時候容易發怒, 做事魯莽呢? 而他卻說我容易發怒, 做事魯莽, 明明是無中生有, 所以才揍他.” [思考]一些壞習慣或毛病, 往往自己不自覺, 總認為他人是在無理的論斷和挑剔. 回想一些周遭人的提醒, 是不是切實需要我們的改變呢?[禱告]親愛的天父上帝, 我們很多時候聽到別人對自己不好的評論就大發脾氣, 也會誤解別人的言詞而生氣, 甚至發生爭論. 主啊!幫助我們𧫴慎自己的言語, 不發惡言, 也不隨心所欲的亂發脾氣. 幫助我們謙卑尋求, 走在祢的引導之中, 免得我們在言語上得罪人, 也失去好見證. 禱告是奉主耶穌基督的名, 阿們!
Be slow to get angry – James 1:19B-20 [Be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to get angry, because man’s anger does not accomplish God’s righteousness.] [Story] Zhang San Sitting in the office chatting with a colleague, he lamented that Li Si was very talented and a good person, but unfortunately he had two terrible shortcomings: one was a bad temper and easy to get angry. The other was recklessness. This At that time, Li Si happened to pass by and heard Zhang San’s discussion. He immediately lost his temper, picked up his fist and beat Zhang San. His colleagues quickly pulled Li Si away and asked him why he beat Zhang San? Li Si said angrily, “You guys judge me, when do I get angry easily and do things recklessly? But he said that I get angry easily and act recklessly, which is obviously unfounded, so I beat him.” [Thinking] Some bad habits or problems are often caused by Without realizing it, we always think that others are making unreasonable judgments and faults. Looking back at some of the reminders from people around us, do we really need to change? [Prayer] Dear Heavenly Father God, we often lose our temper when we hear other people’s bad comments about us. We also misunderstand other people’s words and become angry, or even get into arguments. Lord! Help us to be careful with our words, not to speak evil words, nor to lose our temper as we please. Help us to seek humbly and walk in your guidance, so as not to offend others with our words and lose our good testimony. Prayer is a service. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen!
