禁止你的嘴唇不要犯罪

JOB 1
约伯记1章

20 Then Job stood up and tore his robe in grief and fell down upon the ground before God. 21 “I came naked from my mother’s womb,” he said, “and I shall have nothing when I die. The Lord gave me everything I had, and they were his to take away. Blessed be the name of the Lord.”
22 In all of this Job did not sin or revile God.
20约伯便起来，撕裂外袍，剃了头，伏在地上下拜。21说：“我从赤身出于母胎，也必赤身归回。赏赐的是耶和华，收取的也是耶和华。耶和华的名是应当称颂的。”
22在这一切事上，约伯并不犯罪，也不以神为愚妄。

Job was a very rich man, he had much cattle, sheep and also was blessed with many sons and daughters. Now to lose one of any of these, who be terrible, but to lose everything, must have been absolutely awful. One by one his servants came, each one telling a worse story than the last one. It must have been like, one servant finishes telling him that he has lost his sheep and then whilst he is just about to finish, here comes another one, look at the start of verses 16-18.
约伯是一个非常富有的人，他有很多牛和羊，也有很多儿女。现在，哪怕只失去其中任何一样，都会感到很可怕，而他竟失去一切，这绝对是骇人听闻的事。他的仆人一个接一个地，每个人都告诉约伯一个比上一个更糟糕的故事。这一定是这样的，一个仆人告诉他他丢了羊，然后当他正要讲完时，又来了一个，看看第16-18节的开头。

Job was not just having a bad day; he was having the ultimate bad day. He had suddenly lost everything. But and here is the beautiful thing about Job, he did not blame God or sin with his mouth.
约伯不仅仅是度过了不好的一天；他度过了极其糟糕的一天。他突然一无所有。但是，这是约伯的可取之处，他并没有责怪神或在言语上犯罪。

Why is this? Well, if we look back to the earliest verses of Chapter 1, we find out the reason. The first thing, we find out about Job is that he was aa good man who feared God and kept away from evil. Even the devil when we brought his sick accusation, recognized that Job Feared God.
为什么会这样？如果我们回顾约伯记第1章最前面的经文，我们就会找到原因。首先，我们发现约伯是一个好人，他敬畏神，远离恶事。即使是魔鬼，对他提出病态的指控时，也承认约伯敬畏神。

Secondly, Job was concerned for his family.   When they had a party, Job prayed for them.   This was Job’s regular practice. He was a praying father to his children.
其次，乔布斯关心他的家人。当他们举行聚会时，约伯为他们祷告。这是约伯经常做的事。对于他的孩子们来说他是祷告的父亲。

Finally, Job had a realization that everything he owned had come from God.   He was just the steward and that God was the real owner of all he owned. It was easy for him to let go, of all these things, because he realized who the real owner was.
最后，约伯意识到他所拥有的一切都来自神的恩赐。他只是管家，而神是他所有一切的真正主人。在所有这些事情中，他很容易放手，因为他意识到谁才是真正的主人。

What an example Job is. Hope you will follow.
