在人生中,會面臨到大大小小的試煉和試探。而現代的社會中,試煉和試探又會以各種不同的形式出現。當對他們的認識越清楚,就越能夠知道如何面對或處理。🌿
在希臘文中,試煉和試探是同一個字元πειρασμός,但是它的意義是不一樣的。好的試煉會讓人成長,但是試探可能讓人犯錯墮落。翻閱聖經中有一些關於試煉和試探的文字,雖然是好幾千年前的經典了,但是有很深的智慧,無論是不是信仰者都可以從中找到心靈成長或處世的方向。🌿
當在現實生活中遇到試煉,若是能力所及,面對挑戰之後,歷程雖然辛苦,但通常可以成長或增加能力。但面對試探就得當心,因為試探是對著人的私慾和弱點而來,可能會造成迷惑,讓人墮落或犯錯。主禱文中有一句"不叫人落入試探中",若發現這是一個不好的試探,最好的方法就是拒絕它、遠離它、不要給試探留餘地,就不會落入試探中,也不會對自己和他人造成不好的後果。🌿

But he knows the way that I take; when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold.
The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold, but the Lord tests the heart.

⭐哥林多前書 10:13
No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.
⭐雅各書 1:12
Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.
