标 题：撒下公义的种子
经 节：撒义种的，得实在的果效。（箴言十一章18节下）
投资人生有许多方式，没有一项比得上热爱追求公义的报酬更大。我们生活每个层面都应该流露出神的圣洁，这圣洁是由救赎恩典而来。我们的思想要圣洁，好叫我们所想的，没有一件事不与神儿女的身分相称。我们的行动要圣洁，好叫我们的生活能表露出我们正事奉著一位圣洁的神。我们要完全正直，才能超越所有人际关系的责难。
你在生活中是否将神的公义视为理所当然？公义不能靠你自己的力量达到，一定得靠圣灵在你的生活中作工才能达到。你是否容许邪恶和罪恶的思想，替换圣洁的思想，而在你心里滋长？你是否容许情欲毫不受阻碍地生长？你生命中是否仍有怀恨、苦毒、妒忌和报复的缠扰？耶稣说，我们要先求祂的国和祂的义，这些东西都要加给我们了（马太福音六：33）。
撒义种的会得大奖赏。你现在正在做哪些事，以栽种圣洁在你的生命？你如何在自己的心中撒下公义的种子，好使心思意念圣洁？你如何在自己的人际关系栽培公义，好让你能保持圣洁？你是否在日常生活中灌注公义，好让你的生活毫无指责？如果想要明天收割公义的果子，今日必要先撒下公义的种子。
Sowing Seeds of Righteousness
But he who sows righteousness will have a sure reward. (Proverbs 11:18b)
There are many ways to invest our lives, but none offers greater reward than devoting ourselves to the pursuit of righteousness. Every area of our lives should reflect the holiness of God that is ours by salvation: our thoughts, so that nothing we think about would be inappropriate for a child of God; our actions, so that our lives demonstrate that we serve a holy God; our integrity, so that we are above reproach in all our relationships.
Are you taking God’s righteousness in your life for granted? Righteousness is something you must allow the Holy Spirit to work in your life. Instead of sowing holy thoughts, are you allowing evil and sinful thoughts to grow in your mind? Are you allowing lust to grow unchecked within you? Does enmity, bitterness, jealousy, or unforgiveness remain in your life? Jesus said if we seek first God and His righteousness, everything else will follow (Matt. 6:33). There is great reward in sowing righteousness. What_are you presently doing to plant holiness in your life?_(1 Pet. 1:15). How are you putting righteousness in your mind so that your thoughts are holy? How are you cultivating righteousness in your relationships so that you maintain your integrity? Are you instilling righteousness in your activities so that your life is above reproach? If you want to harvest righteousness in your life tomorrow, you must plant seeds of righteousness today.
