C讀經：
- Psalm(詩篇)66:10 For you, O God, tested us; you refined us like silver.66:10 神阿、你曾試驗我們、熬煉我們、如熬煉銀子一樣。
很多時候都覺得生活還是很艱難，可是當然神不會加添我們無法承受的難處。試驗、熬煉都是為了陶造，讓我們變得更好，refine us like silver。
N讀經：
「“You must not oppress foreigners. You know what it’s like to be a foreigner, for you yourselves were once foreigners in the land of Egypt.」
Exodus 23:9
我們都有犯傻逼的時候，所以學會寬容。我們都有被騎在頭上的經歷，所以如果將來有機會反過來騎在別人頭上，那就是考驗我們的時候。中國人就是奴才當久了，翻身做主第一件事就學會了抬胯的惡習。
「but let the land be renewed and lie uncultivated during the seventh year. Then let the poor among you harvest whatever grows on its own. Leave the rest for wild animals to eat. The same applies to your vineyards and olive groves.」
Exodus 23:11
今天才聊到了「節制」的話題。這裡講的就是節制，是人類與大自然相處的節制。我們被造是成為天地萬物的管理者，而管理的智慧，這裡上帝啟示了我們，就是「節制」。一切有度有序，才叫做管理。管理自己也是一樣。
「“You have six days each week for your ordinary work, but on the seventh day you must stop working. This gives your ox and your donkey a chance to rest. It also allows your slaves and the foreigners living among you to be refreshed.」
Exodus 23:12
在我所知極其有限的外人關於老爸的評價裡，就有提到說他幹起事情來就不分晝夜，下屬非常反感他的瘋狂。其實在專業上，我和我爸非常像，要麼不願意動，要麼死命弄，對於身邊同事下屬也是不管不顧的以為大家都該跟著一起瘋狂。身邊不是所有合作的人都對眼下的事抱有夢想的態度。事實上絕大多數人非常實際⋯所以下屬和同夥都是自己需要去管理和協調調用的資源。這是老爸以前的彎路，引以為戒。
「You must not cook a young goat in its mother's milk.」
Exodus 23:19
看到這句莫名感動。做人要有底線。
「“See, I am sending an angel before you to protect you on your journey and lead you safely to the place I have prepared for you. Pay close attention to him, and obey his instructions. Do not rebel against him, for he is my representative, and he will not forgive your rebellion. But if you are careful to obey him, following all my instructions, then I will be an enemy to your enemies, and I will oppose those who oppose you.」
Exodus 23:20-22
感謝主！在我們不配得的時候一直與我們同在，帶領看顧著我們前行的道路。
