每日箴言(中英)|容得下大卫,也容得下我




每日箴言

容得下大卫,也容得下我


“得赦免其过,遮盖其罪的,这人是有福的!......我闭口不认罪的时候,因终日唉哼而骨头枯干。” - 诗 32:1, 3

? 灵修


有些人不愿意加入教会,因为他们不肯定自己是否 “有资格” 成为其中的一员。如果你是一间教会的会友,你的团契会不会让以色列的君王大卫加入呢?又是基于什么原因呢?假如你不清楚他的家族及出身,也不知道他从前犯过的罪,你会有不同的决定吗?在诗篇32篇,我们看到大卫真的需要神的赦免(也可参阅诗篇51篇。)


今天的经文,大卫在其中所说的,是我们很多人的安慰和祝福。当我们与神和好、又与别人和好时候,我们便重新得到喜乐,而生命里的困境也变得可以忍受了。如果我们闭口不认罪,只尝试把它们隐藏起来,那么我们的健康、态度,和人际关系也会受到损害,神甚至可能用激烈的方式来唤醒我们去认罪。大卫就是这样学了这个功课,神或许会向我们施加压力,而祂出手可能很重!


我们与人的关系,一定要以与神的儿子耶稣建立健全的关系作为开始,因为祂让我们看到应怎样以无条件的爱与人交往,这包括加入一间教会,并且欢迎其他人加入。我们需要承认, “自我” 的问题是犯罪的主要原因,如果我们像大卫那样承认我们的罪,我们便可以在神的恩典和赦免里欢喜快乐了。你有没有这样做呢?


? 祷告


慈爱的神,我们看不到未认的罪带来的伤害,求祢赦免。求祢向我们施压力和赦免我们,又帮助我们向他人传递祢的慈爱、赦免,和欢迎。奉基督的名祈求,阿们。


普世佳音每日箴言

? Room For David, Room For Me

"Blessed is the one whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered... When I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long." — Psalm 32:1, 3

? Devotion

Some people are reluctant to join a church because they wonder if they're "good enough" to belong. If you are a member of a church, would your fellowship let King David of Israel join? Why or why not? Would it make a difference if you didn't know his ancestry? And what about his sinful past? Psalm 32 reveals David's clear need to be forgiven. (See also Psalm 51.)

Many of us have been comforted and blessed by David's words here. When we confess, burdens are lifted. When we make things right with God and one another, joy returns and life's struggles become bearable. If we keep silent, trying to stuff our sin away, we find that our health, our attitude, and our relationships suffer. God may even use some drastic means to bring us around to confessing. As David learned, God may lean on us a little—and his hand is heavy!

Our relationships must begin with a healthy relationship with Jesus, God's Son, who shows us how to relate to one another with unconditional love. This includes being part of a church and welcoming others into it. We all have to acknowledge the "I" problem at the center of sin. And when, like David, we confess our sins, we can rejoice in God's grace and forgiveness. Have you done so?

? Prayer

Gracious God, forgive us for failing to realize the damage of unconfessed sin. Lean on us, forgive us, and help us to show your love, forgiveness, and welcome to others. In Christ, Amen.
