經文:箴言四、五章
鑰節:「你要保守你心,勝過保守一切,因為一生的果效,是由心發出。」(4:23)
提要

        正如箴言第四章開始的經文告訴我們的,所羅門王很幸運有一位好父親,告訴他得到智慧,以及忠心事奉上帝的必須性與重要性(代上28:9)。大衛王的話的確已牢牢地銘刻在所羅門的心中(4:4),因為當上帝向所羅門要什麼的時候,他記得他父親的話,以及正如眾所週知的,他的回答就是:「請給我智慧與知識」(代下1:10;比較王上3:5~9)。耶和華高興地答應所羅門的要求;這件事不僅在歷史中有明證(王上4:29~30;代下9:5~6),而且也在箴言書中得到證明。他父親大衛王已經告訴他,如果他能將智慧當作一位可愛的妻子一樣來擁抱與高舉,那麼智慧就會為他帶來榮耀。大衛引用古代婚禮中的作法來說明這一點,例如他說,新娘會把花冠(「榮耀的冕」)戴在新郎的頭上(4:9)。

        所羅門也像他父親大衛那樣,也教訓他的兒女要努力追求智慧,但是他的注意力似乎都集中在那個要繼承他王位的兒子身上(比較4:1之「我的孩子們」與4:10、20之「我的兒子」)。一國的人民是否能獲得他們的屬靈與政治的福祉,經常視統治他們的是那一類君王而定。以色列的歷史證明一個事實,也即:當一位公義的君王統治他們,並能以上帝的智慧帶領他們時,國運就會昌隆,而且萬事也會順遂。

        對學生(任何年齡的人)所作有智慧的忠告,就是要把握有智慧的教訓,不要讓它從手邊溜去,因為它會帶來生命。不過,惡人的道路就是黑暗的道路,無論如何都不可以走。在比較之下,義人的道路好像黎明的光亮,以及那些終生忠心走光明道路的人,就會越來越接近那光的源頭,也越來越接近「完美的日子」──站在我的主耶穌、世界之光的面前(4:18;約1:9)。

        我們走在信心的道路上,必須儆醒我們的心,不要受到任何不潔的感染,以及要審慎思想我們正在走的道路,我們的眼睛要向耶和華看,因為如果我們那樣做了,我們就不會偏離正道(4:23、25~26)。如果我們的嘴說了謊話與荒謬的話,那麼那就表示,我們的心裡也同樣地充滿了荒謬(4:24;太15:18~19)。但是如果我們能寄託在上帝的話語及純潔與可愛的事物上,那麼我們的嘴裡就會說出造就人的話來,而且也會使我們的心思、身體、及靈魂更有健康與生命(4:21~22)。因為它們都是上帝在我們心裡所賜的平安結出來的果子(腓4:8~9;路6:45)。

        所羅門在箴言第五章中所教導的上帝智慧的另一個重要部份,就是婚姻的忠貞,因為他強烈警告,人們必須遠離不道德的性關係,甚至連想都不要去想它。所羅門一開始就警告他的學生,通姦是邪惡的。不道德的人嘴裡充滿了諂媚與誘人的甜言蜜語,但是事實上,甜蜜的話似乎都會變成苦草;認為最令人滿意的與最圓潤的話(像油一樣)都會像一支鋒利的劍,可以將一個人劈成兩半,給人致命的一擊,使他永遠得不到上帝的祝福(4:4、10~11)。所羅門似乎依據他個人的經驗又繼續說到,那些犯姦淫的人都是失敗者,到後來當然會後悔,因為那件事使他在群眾的面前受到羞辱,使他走上毀滅的邊緣(4:12~14),除非他能悔改,以及耶和華饒恕他,並使他恢復智慧。

        所羅門引用泉水為例,說明一個人忠於配偶的正確性與重要性,因為祇有跟配偶在一起,一個人才能得到真正又持久的滿足,以及上帝才會因他們忠於自己的婚約而祝福他們(5:18)。上帝能看見人類的一切作為,即使他們在臥房中的私事,所以所羅門警告人們,那些一直在過著不道德性生活的人一定會為上帝所知,也會得到祂的懲罰。他離棄上帝及祂道路的罪惡愚妄會為他帶來危險,以及他從此就得不到上帝的教訓與恩典;因此,他就會死在罪裡(比較羅1:28~32)。

禱告

        親愛的主,求您揭示我們藏在心裡的事,因為它影響我們生活的每一方面。願我們的心裡充滿您的形像和話語。奉主耶穌基督聖名,阿們!

Scriptures:Read Proverbs 4&5
Key Verse:"Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life."(Proverbs 4:23)
Overview

        As we are told from the beginning of Proverbs 4, Solomon was fortunate to have a father that impressed upon him the importance and necessity of attaining wisdom and serving God with a loyal heart (1 Chron. 28:9). King David's words were indeed retained in Solomon's heart (4:4), for when God asked Solomon what he wanted, he remembered the words of his father and, as is well known, his response was "give me wisdom and knowledge" (2 Chron. 1:10; cf. 1 Kings 3:5-9). The Lord happily granted Solomon's request, which is not only attested to in history (1 Kings 4:29-30; 2 Chron. 9:5-6) but is evidenced in this Book of Proverbs. His father David had told him that if he embraced and exalted wisdom as he would a most beloved wife, then wisdom would promote him and bring him honour. David illustrated this by referring to the ancient practice in the marriage ceremony when the bride would put a wreath ("a crown of glory") upon the bridegroom's head (4:9).

        Like his father, Solomon instructed his children in the way of wisdom, but it appears he was especially attentive to the son who would succeed him upon the throne (compare 4:1 "my children" to 4:10, 20, "my son"). The spiritual and political welfare of the nation was often dependent upon the type of king that ruled over them. The history of Israel attests to the fact that when godly kings reigned, having the wisdom of God to guide them, it went well with the nation.

        The wise advice to the student (who is a person of any age) is to take hold of wise instruction and not let it go, for it will bring life. The path of the wicked, however, is a path of darkness which is to be avoided and shunned at all costs. In total contrast, the path of the righteous is like a bright light and those who faithfully continue to travel upon it all the days of their life get ever closer to the source of that light and closer to the "perfect day" when they will stand before the Lord Jesus, the Light of the World (4:18; John 1:9).

        In our walk of faith, we must be careful to diligently guard our hearts from any impurity, as well as carefully consider the path we are taking and resolve to keep our eyes on the Lord, for if we do that we will not stray from the right path (4:23, 25-26). If one's mouth speaks lies and perversity, then it shows that the heart within is equally perverse (4:24; Matt. 15:18-19). But if we feed on the Word of God and upon pure and lovely things, then equally lovely things will come out of our mouths and bring forth life as well as health in all areas: mind, body and soul (4:21-22), which all spring from the peace of God in our hearts (Phil. 4:8-9; Luke 6:45).

        An important part of the life-giving divine wisdom taught by Solomon in chapter 5 is marital fidelity, as he gives a strong warning to stay far from, and not even consider, sexual immorality. Solomon begins by warning his student about the evils of adultery. The immoral person's lips are full of flattery and sweet sounding words of enticement, but in actuality, what appears to be honey turns out to be the most bitter of all herbs; what was thought to be satisfying and soothing (like oil) turns out to be a sharp sword that breaks a person a part, gives a fatal blow, and cuts him off from the blessings of God (4:4; 10-11). As Solomon continues, he appears to speak from personal experience, saying that those who commit adultery will be the losers and will certainly come to regret it, for it will put them to public shame and leave them on the verge of total ruin (4:12-14) unless they repent and the Lord intervenes to forgive and restore wisdom.

        With an illustration of a fountain of water, Solomon shows the importance and Tightness of remaining faithful to one's spouse, for only with that person will there ever be true and lasting satisfaction, and God will bless them because of their fidelity in honouring their marriage covenant (5:18). God sees all that mankind does, even in the privacy of the bedroom, so Solomon warns that the one who persistently lives promiscuously will be known by God and receive the punishment due him. His sinful foolishness in leaving God and His ways will entrap him and he will have reached the point where he can no longer receive instruction or God's grace; thus he will die in sin (cf. Rom. 1:28-32).

Prayer

        Dear Lord, we pray that You would reveal to us the importance of that which we put into our hearts, for it affects all aspects of our lives. May we fill our hearts so full of You and Your Word that there would be no room for negative influences.
