墨菲定律是一套对生活观察的定律，它似乎有实际经验作为基础，因而更有份量。你可能听过这一条：「如果事情会出错，就一定会出错。」还有「你所做的每件事都不是孤立的，所有的事都存在着因果关系。」

我自己的经验似乎也印证了许多条墨菲定律，我特别把上述的第二条挂在墙上作为座右铭。错误的决定会导致一连串后果，如果有人的生活只顾追求享乐，他们的子 子孙孙都会受到牵连（出埃及记20章4-5节）。假使你偏离了上帝的道路，你的孩子可能也会走上同样的道路，即使后来你回转归向上帝，他们却可能仍不回 返。

但是，这条定律也有其好的一面。如果有人凭着信心活在上帝面前，也会对子子孙孙带来深远的影响。如果他们活得够长，就能亲眼看到信心对后代子孙所产生的影响。对年长的人来说，看到子孙为基督而活，是多么令人满足的一件事！

墨菲定律和圣经一致认同这一观点：「你所做的每件事都不是孤立的，所有的事都存在着因果关系。」HWR

散播败坏的种子，
收割罪恶的浆果；
散播正义的种子，
得到祝福的收获。Sper

Murphy’s Laws are observations about life that seem to have the weight of experience behind them. You’ve probably heard this one: “If anything can go wrong, it will.” Here’s another one: “You can’t do just one thing; everything has its consequences.”

My own experience seems to confirm many of Murphy’s Laws, but it’s that second one that I would hang on the wall as a motto. Wrong choices have their consequences. For example, if we choose to live for pleasure, that will affect our children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren (Ex. 20:4-5). If we walk away from God, we may discover that our children have taken that trip with us. Later, even if we return to Him, they may not.

But there is also good news. Devotion to the Lord has its consequences too. Men and women who live in faith before God can have a strong influence on their children and their children’s children. If they live a long life, they can witness the effect their faith has had on several generations. What satisfaction it brings to older people to see their posterity living for Christ!

Murphy and the Bible agree on this point: “Everything has its consequences.” — Haddon W. Robinson

If you sow seeds of wickedness,
Sin’s harvest you will reap;
But scattered seeds of righteousness
Yield blessings you can keep. —Sper

People who follow Christ lead others in the right direction.
