沉迷在嫉妒中

Obsessed With Envy

读经

Reading

“躺在床上，转脸向内，也不吃饭。” - 王上 21:4

He lay on his bed sulking and refused to eat.

— 1 Kings 21:4

Devotion

亚哈王虎视眈眈想得到邻居的一个园子来作菜园，可是园主拿伯拒绝了他的要求。由于园子是神在应许地分给拿伯先人的，所以他不肯交换或出售这份留给他的产业。亚哈便因此闷闷不乐，也不吃饭，只是躺在床上。

King Ahab wanted his neighbor’s land in order to cultivate vegetables, but Naboth the owner refused the offer. He would not trade or sell his inheritance, the garden God had assigned to his ancestors in the promised land. King Ahab moped, refused food, and retreated to bed.

嫉妒是眼目引起的罪：别人的房屋、配偶，或薪酬，都可以令我们沉迷；为了要得到想要的东西，有些人不惜杀人。亚哈的嫉妒播了种，种子发芽生长，成为耶洗别的阴谋，而亚哈也同意这样做。嫉妒带来毁灭，每一个当事人都会受到伤害。

Envy is a sin of the eyes: another’s house, spouse, or salary can become an obsession. Some people have killed in order to get the things they wanted. Ahab’s envy sowed a seed that grew into Jezebel’s twisted plan, and he went along with it. Envy aims to destroy, and it harms everyone involved.

上古罗马哲学家塞尼加说：“没有人能拥有他希望得到的所有东西的，但他却可以抑制自已，不去希望得到他没有的，反而快乐地善用他手上所有的。”

Seneca, an ancient Roman philosopher said, “No one can have all he wants, but a man can refrain from wanting what he has not, and cheerfully make the best of a bird in the hand.”

在耶稣所讲的浪子比喻中，父亲热烈欢迎回头的浪子（路加福音15:28-32），可是，兄长嫉妒的眼目却忍受不了父亲的欢乐。同样，嫉妒妨碍了我们的天父赐给每一个人应去享受的欢乐。

In Jesus’ parable of the prodigal son, the envious eye of the older brother could not bear to look on the joy of his father at welcoming back a wandering son who had returned (Luke 15:28-32). Envy gets in the way of the joy our heavenly Father provides and wants everyone to enjoy.

耶稣建议我们挖去嫉妒的眼睛，这话听来似乎有点严厉，但这样做总好过陷入嫉妒的罪中。我们与神同行时，每一个信徒都应该朝着一个目标走，就是失去自己的视力，好叫我们能以神恩典的目光来看万事。

Jesus’ recommendation to pluck out the envious eye may seem severe, but it is not worse than the sickness. It should be the goal of every believer, as we walk with the Lord, that we lose our own vision so that we might see through the eyes of God’s grace.

Is that your goal?

祷告

Prayer

主啊，求祢开我的眼睛，好叫我能学习快乐地看到你赐给我邻舍的恩典。奉祢的名求，阿们。

Open my eyes, Lord, that I may learn to see with joy the gifts you bestow on my neighbor. Amen.
