全新四年樂活讀經
箴言的作者教導我們,要保守我們的心,勝過保守一切,因為一生的果效是由心而發。心是我們行動的指引與根基。我們行為的果效也是由心來決定。我們讓什麼進入心中,並充滿內心,就決定我們如何抉擇。
我們要分辨清楚,是愛情還是情慾?是由神來的異象還是野心?是為了榮耀神或是為了滿足自己?省察我們的心,我們的動機是否有在正道上?願神保守我們。
題目:在本章經文中,除了保守我們的心之外,還要保守什麼呢?

Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.
4:2 因我所給你們的是好教訓;不可離棄我的法則(或譯:指教)。

4:11 我已指教你走智慧的道,引導你行正直的路。
I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths.
4:12 你行走,腳步必不致狹窄;你奔跑,也不致跌倒。

4:16 這等人若不行惡,不得睡覺;不使人跌倒,睡臥不安;
For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.
4:17 因為他們以奸惡吃餅,以強暴喝酒。
For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.
4:18 但義人的路好像黎明的光,越照越明,直到日午。
But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.
4:19 惡人的道好像幽暗,自己不知因甚麼跌倒。
The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.
