Hope in Jesus Alone
“As you don’t know what is the way of the wind, nor how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child; even so you don’t know the work of God who does all. In the morning sow your seed, and in the evening don’t withhold your hand; for you don’t know which will prosper, whether this or that, or whether they both will be equally good.” (Ecclesiastes 11:5-6 WEB)
Don’t put your hope and confidence in a certain something, whether it be a project, an investment, a person, an organization.
It is true that you don’t know which will prosper, whether this or that, or whether they both will be equally good.
When we start justifying with our mind and natural reasoning to support why something will surely work out, it is dangerous. The Book of Proverbs says that there is a way that seems right to a man, but it is a way that leads to death.
When that thing you are hoping in falls apart, you will be crushed if you placed all your hope and confidence in it. It is unwise to trust in temporal, visible things in this fallen world.
Let us put all our hope and confidence in the Lord Jesus. He is the eternal one that we can trust.
We do not know the way God works and many times, we have to just be okay with not knowing. Just believe that He is working on your situation.
When we have faith in Jesus, we will not be trusting in the individual methods. Our confidence will be in the one who blesses the work of our hands, and who gives us favor in the way that we go. No matter what He places His favor on, that is what will prosper. Be wise and keep your hope only in Him!
Keep studying God’s word and growing in your understanding of His ways. Our Patreon community is currently on a Bible study series called “My Faith Declarations” which looks at the Spirit-inspired utterances of the authors of the Psalms. They wrote about the trials and tribulations they experienced, so the book of Psalms is very relatable.
By turning their faith declarations into our own, we can learn how to overcome similar circumstances in life through faith in the Lord!

今天收看了 #Saddlebackchurch 的講道
提到在這段時期
大家心裏都很不安及充滿憤怒
首先,牧師要我們學習控制自己的情緒
不要令憤怒控制自己的情緒
我記得 #JockoWillink 亦曾經提過
要學習 #Detach
當然每個人都有怒氣
但是怒氣會影響我們的判斷能力
因為憤怒要付出代價
很容易傷害到別人
另外,我們要知道自己的弱點在哪裏?
當你憤怒的時候
牧師要我們不要出聲
反而要「聆聽」
平靜自己
Slow To Speak
你說話越大聲
變越憤怒
憤怒原來會傳染的
你的孩子亦會學習你
但是每個人都可以改變!
“Do not make friends with a hot-tempered person, do not associate with one easily angered,”
Proverbs 22:24 NIV
--------------------
Emotional control
Everyone is emotional,
but not everyone can control their emotions.
You are not effective when you are emotional.
You don’t have productive conversations,
send good emails,
or make smart decisions when you lose control of your emotions.
Know your red flags and learn to identify when emotions start to take over.
Children struggle controlling their emotions.
Eminently Qualified Humans do not.

3⃣ earn one’s daily bread

5⃣ break bread

After covering dairy products, it’s time to move on to another kind of food—bread. Bread has long been a staple of the Western diet since ancient times, so of course it has made its way into all kinds of proverbs and idioms.
聊完乳製品之後,我們來聊聊另一種食品:麵包。自古以來,麵包一直是西方飲食不可或缺的主食,所以跟麵包相關的諺語與生活用語想必也不少。
Let’s start with a proverb that has its origins in the Bible: 1⃣ Bread is the staff of life. If you’re picturing someone using a baguette as a staff to walk with, it may give you a sense of the proverb’s meaning: bread is what supports us in our lives, or provides us with sustenance. But bread here is also a symbol of all food, so the real meaning is that one must eat in order to survive. Ex: I know you’re busy, but don’t forget to eat—bread is the staff of life.
先來看一個源自《聖經》的諺語:Bread is the staff of life.(麵包是生命的拐杖。)想像一下用法國麵包當做拐杖走路的樣子,大概就能理解這句諺語的意思:麵包是支持生活的必需品,供給我們營養。不過麵包在這裡也是象徵所有食物之意,所以真正的意思是「民以食為天」。如:I know you’re busy, but don’t forget to eat—bread is the staff of life.(我知道你很忙,但別忘了吃飯啊,民以食為天。)
Another proverb with Biblical origins: 2⃣Man does not live by bread alone. Here, bread means “food and shelter.” So the proverb means that beyond their physical needs, people also need mental or spiritual sustenance. Ex: He may be wealthy, but man does not live by bread alone.
另一個諺語也是出自《聖經》:Man does not live by bread alone.(人活著不只是為了溫飽。)bread在這句話中指的是「食物與住所」。因此,這個諺語要人們超越生理需求、滋養心靈。如:He may be wealthy, but man does not live by bread alone.(他或許很富有,但是人活著不是只為了溫飽。)
Since bread is a symbol for sustenance, there are also idioms like 3⃣ “earn one’s daily bread,” which means “make a living.” Ex: The man earns his daily bread as a taxi driver. 4⃣ And “take the bread out of sb.’s mouth” means to deprive them of their means of living. Ex: Lowering wages would be taking the bread out of workers’ mouths.
因為麵包是食物的象徵,所以也有如earn one’s daily bread這樣的片語,指「維持生計」。如:The man earns his daily bread as a taxi driver.(這個男人當計程車司機維持生計。)而take the bread out of sb.’s mouth則是指「搶某人飯碗」,如:Lowering wages would be taking the bread out of workers’ mouths.(減薪對員工而言是剝奪了他們的飯碗。)
5⃣ And finally there’s “break bread.” Can you guess what it means? It means to have a meal. In the old days, a family would share a loaf of bread at each meal, and everyone would break off pieces to eat. Ex: It’s been a long time since I broke bread with Michael.
最後來看看break bread這個短語。猜猜看,這是什麼意思?答案是「吃飯」。古時候的家庭,每餐都有一條麵包分給全家人,每個人會掰一塊麵包來吃。如:It’s been a long time since I broke bread with Michael.(我已經很久沒跟麥可吃頓飯了。)
