激發成長
讀經: 希伯來書12章7-11節
金句: 「凡管教的事，當時不覺得快樂，反覺得愁苦，後來卻為那經練過的人結出平安的果子，就是義。」（希伯來書12章11節）
全年讀經: 耶利米書6-8章；提摩太前書5章

我的叔叔萊斯特住在佛羅里達，因著柚子樹不結果而苦惱。有人告訴他，要用木板重擊樹幹幾下。
這種激勵生長的方式顯然頗不尋常，卻有幾分道理。有位園藝專家說：「有時候，樹木的生長激素似乎停滯了，開不出花來。這時重擊樹幹幾下，會擦傷一點樹皮，如此嚇唬它，便可刺激它開花。」這種辦法也許能刺激生長。
當苦難臨到我們的生活時，我們有時覺得遭到了沉重打擊，陷入絕境。我們感到絕望，進而發出疑問：「為什麼這樣的事會臨到我？」
有一種可能是，上帝使用痛苦的經歷來警戒我們。大衛在詩篇119篇71節寫道：「我受苦是與我有益，為要使我學習你的律例。」希伯來書12章11節說，管教能「結出平安的果子，就是義。」
在你的生活中，上帝是否使用痛苦來慈愛地說服你改變自己？置身苦難固然艱難，但我們若能從中吸取教訓，我們就會有新的長進，越來越像上帝的兒子（腓立比書3章10節）。CHK
我們好害怕修枝，因忘了園丁之智；只有肯修剪越多，才會有纍纍碩果。Anon.
苦難是修枝剪，讓基督徒的生命結出碩果。

Growth Persuasion
ODB RADIO: Listen Now DownloadREAD: Hebrews 12:7-11
No chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but . . . it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it. —Hebrews 12:11
-->About this cover

My Uncle Lester, who lived in Florida, was discouraged by the lack of fruit on his grapefruit tree. Someone told him he needed to whack the trunk of the tree a few times with a board.
Apparently, there is some truth to this unusual method of encouraging growth. One gardening expert says: "At times, the flowering hormone in the tree seems to get stuck and no flowers appear. Carefully persuade the tree to flower by shocking it. Hit the trunk . . . several times, [which will cause] small bruises in the bark." This advice may stimulate growth.
When trouble comes into our lives, we sometimes feel as if we’ve been hit broadside. We feel desperation and then we wonder, Why is this happening to me?
One possibility is that God is using a painful experience to get our attention. In Psalm 119:71, David wrote, "It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I may learn Your statutes." And Hebrews 12:11 says that chastening "yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness."
Is God using pain in your life to lovingly persuade you to change? The season of trouble may not be easy, but if we let ourselves be trained by it, new growth will result as we become more like His Son (Phil. 3:10). —Cindy Hess Kasper—Cindy Hess Kasper-->
We shrink from the purging and pruning,Forgetting the Gardener knowsThe deeper the cutting and paringThe richer the cluster that grows. —Anon.
Affliction for God’s people can be the pruning knife to prepare us for greater fruitfulness.

五味不過 預防高血壓

　菜肴味道過濃、過鹹、過甜，增加高血壓發病率。【新華網】中醫將食物大致分為五類：酸、苦、甘、辛和鹹。據廣州日報報導，中醫專家指出，預防高血壓，在選擇食物上要注意五味的合理搭配。廣東省中醫藥學會心血管專業委員會副主任委員、省第二中醫院副院長王清海教授說，大量攝入高脂肪食物，菜肴味道過濃、過鹹、過甜及大量飲酒等，都與高血壓發病率不斷提高有密切關系。
王清海說，預防高血壓有飲食口訣，即：「半斤牛奶二兩肉，一斤蔬菜八兩榖。一個雞蛋五克鹽，水果綠茶享清福。不抽香菸少喝酒，樂觀開朗心無憂。每天早上跑跑步，保你腰帶不變粗。」飲食上必須秉持「五味不過」原則：
1、食物不過鹹：限鹽
健康成年人每天鹽的攝入量不宜超過6克，其中包括透過醬油、鹹菜、味精等調味品攝入鹽的量。
2、食物不過甜：限糖
含糖高的食品主要是米、面、糕點等。建議主食要粗細搭配，如玉米、小米、豆類、蕎麥、薯類等。最好不吃或少吃油餅、油條、炸糕、奶油蛋糕、巧克力、奶類雪糕等。
3、食物不過膩：限制脂肪過高的食品
王清海建議，生活中要限制家畜肉類（尤其是肥肉）、動物油脂（如豬油）、奶油糕點、棕櫚油等高脂肪和蛋類制品、蛋黃、動物內臟、魚子及雞皮、鴨皮等高膽固醇食物的攝入。每天不超過250克新鮮牛奶或酸奶。每天肉類控制在75克以內，主要是瘦肉，如豬、牛、羊、雞、鴨等禽類肉食。
4、食物不過辛：限制飲酒
酒也屬於「辛」類食物，對於嗜酒如命的人而言，王清海建議男性每天飲酒精不超過30克，即葡萄酒小於100~150毫升，比如2至3兩；或啤酒小於250~500毫升，比如半斤到1斤；或白酒小于25~50毫升，約0.5至1兩。女性則減半量，孕婦不飲酒。不提倡飲高度烈性酒。
5、食物不過苦：過食可致食欲不振
苦味食物主要是苦麥菜、芹菜、芥菜、苦瓜、咖啡等。苦能清熱，廣州地區氣候炎熱，適當吃些有苦味的蔬菜是有好處的，可以清肝炎、心火。不過，苦味畢竟寒涼，過食則損傷脾胃，導致食欲不振、或腹痛腹瀉等，影響食物的消化吸收。
需要提醒的是，很多老年人一提雞蛋就皺眉，認為其膽固醇含量太高，對身體不好，其實除了膽固醇過高者盡量少吃蛋黃外，其他人吃雞蛋沒多大問題。
還要強調的是，飲食有節，還包括不能過飽。「飲食自倍，腸胃乃傷」，不可不防。如果能再配合適當的運動和保持心情舒暢就更好了。
