勒住你的口

Sep 16, 2024

“我就用嚼环勒住自己的口。”(诗篇39:1)

《诗篇》的作者针对口舌的危险有着不少的劝言。显然,他自己在那方面也须谨守。“耶和华啊,求你守住我的口,看住我的嘴。”(诗篇141:3)“耶和华──我的磐石、我的救赎主啊,愿你喜悦我口中的言语、心中的意念。”(诗篇19:14)不要仅仅因为一个想法闪现,就一定要让它脱口而出!“愚人尽发其怒,智者忍气含怒。”(箴言29:11)你可能会说:“我并不是真的这么想的,只是说说而已。”也许你认为自己口是心非,但《圣经》说:“因为心里充满的,口里自然会说出来。”(马太福音12:34)“藏居于内,形见于外。”设身处地为他人着想,听听你的发言,问问你自己会怎么回应。当你跟某个人交谈时,他们能接受,并非因为你提高嗓门,而是在于你能够倾听、理解、关心、同情并明智地回应。如果这些都不起作用,那就效法耶稣站在彼拉多的面前所做的——“祂默然不语。”(使徒行传8:32)令人惊讶!祂有能力和权柄叫来十二营天使(超过七万二千名)保护护祂,但祂没有这么做。那是力量,不是软弱!给智者的另一箴言:永远不要说亵渎的话。“污言秽语一句都不可出口,要随时随地说造就人的好话,使听的人得益处。”(以弗所书4:29)
