W5 2013-08-30 箴言13
13:7 假作富足的，卻一無所有；裝作窮乏的，卻廣有財物。
13:8 人的資財是他生命的贖價；窮乏人卻聽不見威嚇的話。
13:9 義人的光明亮（原文是歡喜）；惡人的燈要熄滅。
13:10 驕傲只啟爭競；聽勸言的，卻有智慧。
13:11 不勞而得之財必然消耗；勤勞積蓄的，必見加增。
默想:我們對金錢的看法與如何使用它，反映出我們的生命。箴言中提到兩種人，一種人是假裝富有的人，這種人的心態，就是希望透過炫富，來得到別人的敬重。這種人自我的價值是建立在擁有物質的層面上，所以，他們會用超過自己能力的方式，來維持門面，希望別人因為看見他的財富而覺得他是一位成功、有價值的人。事實上這種人很大的一個部分是因為對自己的價值沒有信心。耶穌提醒我們「人的生命不在乎家道豐富」(路十二15)
另外一種人是裝作自己很窮，但是實際上卻很富有。事實上，一個人固然不必炫富，但是也不需裝窮。我們要能夠適當地管理、使用上帝給我們的財富。一個富有的人，不應該為了害怕用錢，而成為守財奴。也不該只為自己的享受而「天天奢華宴樂」。
保羅說「我知道怎樣處卑賤，也知道怎樣處豐富」一個真正富有的人，就是一個知道怎樣使用、管理上帝託付他責任的人。我們的信仰相信，富有的人除了自己適當的享受外，我們的心中，不應該只有自己，而是應當紀念那些有需要的人。如同耶穌對少年官所說的「你還缺少一件：去變賣你所有的，分給窮人，就必有財寶在天上；你還要來跟從我。」(可十21)也許我們不一定能夠真的變賣一切所有的，但是，我們的心中不能忘記窮人。這對每一個富有的人是重要的提醒。
