Day 3

Psalm 19:12-14
  • 誰能知道自己的錯失呢?願你赦免我隱而未現的過錯。
  • 求你攔阻僕人不犯任意妄為的罪,不容這罪轄制我,我便完全,免犯大罪。
  • 耶和華我的磐石,我的救贖主啊,願我口中的言語、心裡的意念在你面前蒙悅納。


我相信透過認識神我會更加認識自己。

主啊!我可如何更加與祢連結?

Do we sometimes sin without knowing? Perhaps.

Sometimes we suddenly found that we have sinned; sometimes we know we are committing a sin; and sometimes we have a thought to commit a sin; and sometimes a bad idea that might lead us to sin. There is a whole range of scenerios we may either fall into one of these.

May God help us to cling to Him as often as we could, ideally 24/7. The more we cling to God and His word, the more we are aware of our spiritual status and the easier to avoid sin.

May God help us mind our words too. Even careless whisper can kill.

一個很自律的人會犯錯嗎? 我相信答案是對的 - 皆因俗語有云: 聖人也有錯 ... 我想錯並非最可怕的事, 最可怕的是當我們浸沒在罪中仍慒然不知, 又或是沒法自拔時, 才是最可怕的 - 因為我們不能自救, 不能不去犯罪.

以往曾經是一個小心翼翼,極怕犯錯的我. 那日子並不好過. 每分每秒都過得心驚膽戰, 別人每一個反應都像是對我的控訴 ... the truth is 不論多小心, 也不能 eliminate 犯錯的機會. 藉這詩篇神再次提醒我, 祂是生命的主, 祂是能改變我生命的那位. 感謝神! 神不但願意寬恕我們那些痛悔的, 更為我們開了出路 - 祢攔阻我犯任意妄為的罪, 保守我不被罪轄制, 叫我完全. Why am I still fear? Fear of doing wrong / making wrong decision? For you "works in (me) to will and to act according to (your) good purpose." Lord, you are my ROCK, help me to lean on you and fully rely on you~

Stay away and not be controlled by willful sins!

Lord, I pray that all my hidden sins will be revealed and forbidden by You, don't let me fall into any of the temptation, but pull me away from any willful sins and selfish desires. I really want to be pleasing in your sight as a whole person, both words, deeds and heart!

我們真是無時無刻都在犯罪。有些是不經意地做了些神不喜悅的事[隱而未現的過錯], 但更多時是那些明知不應該, 需要停止做的, 但卻又偏偏要繼續做下去的錯事。心中掙扎的痛苦只有自已才知道。保羅描述的好:『立志行善由得我, 只行出來卻由不得我。』

今天的經文卻清楚地告訴我, 在我憑自已的能力不可能做到的事, 卻是在神的恩典中可以達到。認識自己的過犯, 有不受罪的轄制的能力, 全都是神的恩典。真正皂福音, 不單是神赦免了我們以往的過犯, 更是神每一天的保守, 提醒, 免得我們繼續犯罪。

Oh Father, help me to know you more, and listen to your Word. Help me to be more aware of my sin and sinful nature and follow you daily with a fearful heart. Help me to become perfect in your eyes. Aman

I share similar reflection with po. Hidden faults, wilful sin are something that we cannot never avoid. But when the psalmist addressed God as 'my Rock', my 'Redeemer', his eyes turn to God's grace, protection and salvation, rather than our inability to save ourselves. We can be counted as blameless and innocent in God's grace and salvation. How can that be!!! (怎能如此!!!)

深信神要我們面對自已的罪,不是要我們活在罪疚之中,而是要我們渴慕能活在恩典中的自由和能力,has the will and power to speak words that please god, and to think what please god. Thank you Lord.
