(489) 「灵粮主题 TODAY’s Topic」：被罪束缚的心要如何得释放 How to Free a Heart Bound by Sin

「灵粮经节 TODAY’s Verses」：「一向有智慧王之称的以色列国王，旧约时代里的所罗门王，在他收集箴言又写了有关人类犯罪能悔改的箴言，尤其是箴言 Proverbs 27: 6 节里说：“朋友加的伤痕出於忠诚；仇敌连连亲嘴却是多馀。”意思就是说，你犯罪做错事，有忠实的好人或是朋友忠告你悔改，好过那些假冒为善，像出卖耶的门徒犹大一样，给你温热的亲嘴，爱里藏刀的好！所以，今日灵粮的经节，也就引用箴言 Proverbs 28: 12-13 的经节，来提醒大家，我们做错事的时侯，“被罪束缚的心要如何得释放”。所以，所罗门王在他的箴言经节里鼓励我们要悔改，也得知道记住，说：“义人得志，有大荣耀；恶人兴起，人就躲藏。遮掩自己罪过的，必不亨通；承认离弃罪过的，必蒙怜恤。”; The King of Israel, who has always been known as the wise king, King Solomon in the Old Testament era, collected proverbs and wrote proverbs about people’s sins and repentance, especially in Proverbs 27: 6, which says: "Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses." It means that when you commit a crime and do wrong, it is better to have a good and honest man or friend to advise you to repent than to be a hypocrite, like Judas was Jesus’ close disciple, who betrayed Jesus and gave kisses, but Judas’s love hides a knife well! Therefore, the verses of today's spiritual food will quote the verses of Proverbs 28: 12-13 to warn and remind us when we do wrong things, we must remember and know, "How to Free a Heart Bound by Sin ". Therefore, King Solomon said it again in the verses of today's spiritual food and encourage us to remember it, saying: "When the righteous triumph, there is great elation; but when the wicked rise to power, people go into hiding. Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy."」 (箴言 Proverbs 28: 12-13 节）

「灵粮分享 TODAY’s Sharing」： 今晨在「今日圣言 Holy Word Today」里，读到鲍勃牧师和黛比加斯夫人 Rev. Bob & Mrs. Debby Gass 写了一篇， “你能够被纠正吗？” 的分享。牧者鲍勃引用撒母耳记下 2 Samuel 12: 13-14 节，描述大卫王犯了侵犯乌利亚妻子拔示巴的罪，他尽快认罪得到神的赦免，不至于死。也就是「今日灵粮 Spiritual Food TODAY」 主题要分享的，人必须知道, “被罪束缚的心要如何得释放” 。鲍勃牧师给我们解释道：神差派先知拿单去质问大卫王与拔示芭通奸的事。作为国王，大卫有权力处死拿单。可是，大卫没有这么做。他谦卑下来，接受纠正，悔改，他的王位得以恢复，他也重获神的恩宠。所以这里的问题是，你能够被纠正吗？如果能，你的未来就是光明的，你的潜能是巨大的。然而，你也必须要有分辨力。并非所有的纠正都是有建设性的，所以你也不必全盘接受。有些人也许巴不得假装好心劝你，其实心怀恶意想要摧毁你，削弱你的自尊，或操纵你接受他们的思维方式。

因此，我们必须谨慎，养成习惯能分析帮助纠正你的人的动机，问问自己这些问题：（1）在过去，这个人曾经对我个人的幸福和发展，表示过真正的关心吗？（2）如果我实现他们所推荐的行为，他们个人会获得什么？我会获得什么？失去什么？（3）他们的态度是善意的，还是让我感受到攻击和贬低？要小心，不要把一个人对你行为的劝告或起愤怒，误认为是攻击你；（4）在他们批评了我之后，我是觉得自己像个无望的失败者，还是他们表现出对我能否改变的能力怀有信心？（5）他们是否致力于和我一起经历这个改变？ 使徒约翰在他的书信约翰一书 1: 9 节里告诉我们，只有神的赦免和恩典，才使得知道 “被罪束缚的心要如何得释放” ： “我们若认自己的罪，神是信实的，是公义的，必要赦免我们的罪，洗净我们一切的不义。” 大家星期五开心与周末愉快！

「灵粮祷告 TODAY’s Prayer」：「今日灵粮 Spiritual Food TODAY」 也就引用约伯记 Job 5: 17-18 节和大家在主的爱里相互勉励祷告。鲍勃牧师在今日灵粮里的分享，就是要在询问我们，当你犯罪做错事，“你能够被纠正吗？”，换句话说，“被罪束缚的心要如何得释放”。今日在约伯记里的经节，约伯安慰我们说：“神所惩治的人是有福的！所以你不可轻看全能者的管教。因为他打破，又缠裹；他击伤，用手医治。” 求神帮助我们一生也都能过着富有属灵的生命，有罪当祈求神赦免我们得释放。求神怜悯给我们力量，能够谦卑顺服那藏在我们心殿里的圣灵，听从这保惠师的感触和引导，不得明知故犯，走完人生得救的义路。祷告奉主名求的，阿们！

In "今日圣言 Holy Word Today" this morning, I read the sharing of "Can you be corrected?" written by Rev. Bob & Mrs. Debby Gass. Pastor Bob quoted 2 Samuel 12: 13-14, describing that King David committed the crime of violating Uriah’s wife Bathsheba. He confessed his sin as soon as he realized it and received God’s forgiveness, so that he would not die. That is what the theme of "今日灵粮 Spiritual Food TODAY" is about to share. People must know, " How to Free a Heart Bound by Sin ". Pastor Bob explained to us: God sent the prophet Nathan to question King David about his adultery with Bathsheba. As king, David had the power to execute Nathan of his questioning, however, David did not do that. He was humbled, corrected, and repented. Not only his throne was restored, but also God's favour was restored to him. And thus, the question here is, can you be corrected? If you can, your future is bright and your potential is enormous. However, you also must be discerning. Not all corrections are constructive, so you do not have to accept them all. Some people may wish to pretend to be kind to you, but they may have malicious intentions to destroy you, weaken your self-esteem, or manipulate you into accepting their way of thinking. Therefore, we must be cautious and make it a habit to analyze the motivations of the person who helps correct you by asking yourself these questions: (1) In the past, has this person expressed a genuine concern for my personal well-being and development? (2) What do they personally gain if I implement the behavior they recommend? What will I get? What to lose? (3) Is their attitude well-meaning, or does it make me feel attacked and belittled? Be careful not to mistake a person's admonition or anger about your behavior for attacking you; (4) Do I feel like a hopeless loser after they criticize me, or do they show respect of you and have confidence in your ability to change? (5) Are they committed to going through this change with me? The apostle John tells us in his epistle 1 John 1:9 that only God's forgiveness and grace can make us know " How to Free a Heart Bound by Sin ", and therefore: "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” Happy Friday and great weekend everyone!

In conclusion, “今日灵粮 Spiritual Food TODAY” would like to quote Job 5: 17-18 and everyone encourages to pray for each other in the love of our Lord. Pastor Bob’s sharing in today’s spiritual food is asking us, when you sin and do wrong things, “Can you be corrected?” In other words, “How to Free a Heart Bound by Sin.” As quoted verses in the book of Job, Job comforts us and says, “Blessed is the one whom God corrects; so do not despise the discipline of the Almighty. For he wounds, but he also binds up; he injures, but his hands also heal.” May God help us to live a spiritual life throughout our lives, and if we have sinned, we should ask God to forgive us and be released. May God’s mercy give us the strength to humbly obey the Holy Spirit hidden in our heart temple, follow the touch and guidance of this Comforter, not to commit any sins knowingly, but walk on the righteous path to have the life of salvation. Pray in the name of the Lord, Amen!
