James Part 3: Wisdom Needed Now (Chinese/English)

Chapter 1
雅各书 1:5-8

6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
你们中间若有缺少智慧的，应当求那厚赐与众人、也不斥责人的　神，主就必赐给他。只要凭着信心求，一点不疑惑；因为那疑惑的人，就像海中的波浪，被风吹动翻腾。这样的人不要想从主那里得什么。心怀二意的人，在他一切所行的路上都没有定见。

Wisdom Needed Now
现在需要智慧

Wisdom is a great gift from God, Solomon asked for it and received it.
智慧是神所给予的极大赏赐。所罗门求智慧，也得着了。

In Proverbs 1, it says:
在箴言1章中说:

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.
敬畏耶和华是知识的开端；愚妄人藐视智慧和训诲。

Psalm 111 says:
诗篇111章中说：

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practice it have a good understanding. His praise endures forever!
敬畏耶和华是智慧的开端；凡遵行他命令的是聪明人。耶和华是永远当赞美的！

God graciously gives us wisdom to deal with everyday circumstances, we are told later in James 3, what true wisdom is:
上帝仁慈地赐予我们智慧来处理日常环境，《雅各书》第三章后面告诉我们，真正的智慧是什么

17 But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere.
惟独从上头来的智慧，先是清洁，后是和平，温良柔顺，满有怜悯，多结善果，没有偏见，没有假冒。

How do we endure and handle trials? When trying times come, how do we handle them?
我们如何忍受和对待试炼呢?当困难时刻来临时，我们该如何应对?

We ask for wisdom from God, and he will give us the wisdom to get through these things. But we ask in faith, we have to have a complete and utter trust in God, and this must come with no doubt.
我们向神求智慧，他必给我们智慧，使我们渡过这些事。但我们在信仰中祈求，我们必须对上帝有一个完全和无疑的信心，这必须是毫无疑问的。

Sometimes when faced with a situation, we ask for God’s wisdom, but then we try to figure it out through the world’s wisdom, this is being caught between two minds, we cannot be two minds. We cannot afford to have one foot in both camps.
有时，当我们面对一个情况时，我们请求上帝的智慧，但我们试图通过世界上的智慧来解决它，这是夹在两种思想之间，我们不可能是两种思想。我们不能同时站在两个阵营。

Christians need to completely and totally trusting in the Lord. Otherwise, we will be like a wave on the sea, God cannot give wisdom to us, unless we trust him 100%, God’s wisdom and man’s wisdom, do not mix.
基督徒需要完全、全身心地信靠主。否则，我们就会像海上的波浪，上帝不能给我们智慧除非我们百分之百地相靠他，上帝的智慧和人的智慧，不要混在一起。

For the believer, it is either one or the other and I know what kind of wisdom I want, and that is God’s wisdom.
对于信徒来说，不是这个 就是那个，我知道我想要什么样的智慧，那就是神的智慧。

Ask God for his wisdom, act in faith and believe that he will give it to you.
向神求智慧，凭信心行事，相信他必赐给你。

God’s wisdom, will enable you to overcome trials and to see them in the right perspective, it clears the mist and allows you to see them in the divine perspective, but man’s wisdom, only sees them from man’s perspective
上帝的智慧，会使你度过试炼，以正确的眼光看待它们，它会拨开迷雾，让你以属灵的眼光看待它们，但世人的智慧，只能从人的角度看待它们

God bless you

愿上帝祝福你
