【Daily Bread】拒绝诱惑



We fall into temptation when we don’t flee from it.

远离诱惑,就不会深陷其中。


Sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it. Genesis 4:7

罪就伏在门前。它必恋慕你,你却要制伏它。-创世记4章7节


A Venus flytrap can digest an insect in about 10 days. The process begins when an unsuspecting bug smells nectar on the leaves that form the trap. When the insect investigates, it crawls into the jaws of the plant. The leaves clamp shut within half a second and digestive juices dissolve the bug.

一株捕蝇草消化一只昆虫,只需要十天的时间。捕蝇草的叶片就是陷阱,它会分泌蜜汁引诱昆虫靠近。当毫无戒心的昆虫到处觅食,爬到捕蝇草的叶面时,叶片就会在瞬间闭合,将昆虫紧紧夹住,并且分泌消化液来分解。


This meat-eating plant reminds me of the way sin can devour us if we are lured into it. Sin is hungry for us. Genesis 4:7 says, “If you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you.” God spoke these words to Cain just before he killed his brother Abel.

这种食肉植物猎食的方式,让我想起罪也是如此引诱并且吞吃我们,因为罪时刻都想吞灭我们。上帝在该隐杀了他的兄弟亚伯之前,就对他说:「你若行得不好,罪就伏在门前。它必恋慕你。」(创世记4章7节)


Sin may try to entice us by tempting us with a new experience, convincing us that living right doesn’t matter, or appealing to our physical senses. However, there is a way for us to rule over sin instead of letting it consume our lives. The Bible says, “Walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh” (Gal. 5:16). When we face temptation, we don’t face it alone. We have supernatural assistance. Relying on God’s Spirit supplies the power to live for Him and others.

罪会用各种方式引诱我们,怂恿我们尝试全新的体验,让我们相信正直的品格并不重要,或是鼓动我们满足自己感官的需求。但是,我们还是可以制伏罪,不让罪吞灭我们的生命。圣经说:「你们当顺着圣灵而行,就不放纵肉体的情欲了」(加拉太书5章16节) 。面对试探的时候,我们不是单打独斗,而是有属天的帮助,只要倚靠圣灵所赐的力量,我们就能为上帝而活,并服事众人。


Dear God, at times I let down my guard and indulge in sin. Please help me to listen to Your warnings and obey Your Word. Protect me from my own impulses and conform me to Your image. Thank You for Your work in me.

亲爱的上帝,有时我会松懈,沉溺于罪中之乐。

求祢让我听到祢的警告,遵行祢的话语,好让我更像祢,
不致任意而行。感谢祢在我的生命当中动工。
