对今日诗句的想法
当神的百姓认识到自己的罪是何等深重，将要临到他们的审判是何等严厉，他们便悔改并寻求神的帮助。遗憾的是，我们常常隐藏、回避或绕开自身的罪。我们不喜欢承认自己的罪，更不愿意认罪悔改：“没那么糟！我知道很多人的行为更糟糕！”我们决不能将认罪视作耻辱或软弱。就让我们认自己的罪，寻求神的饶恕与洁净，请求神极大地使用我们。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
When God's people realized the depth of their sin and their impending punishment by God, they repented and asked for his help. They didn't try to diminish the gravity of their sin. Instead, they threw themselves on the mercy of the Lord and his graciousness. Unfortunately, today, we often hide, avoid, rationalize, deny, blame, or skirt the seriousness of our sins. We don't like to admit them, much less confess them, and we sure don't seem to turn away from them. "It's not really all that bad. I know a lot of folks who do a lot worse things than I did," people often rationalize. As Jesus' followers, we must not view confession of sin as humiliation or weakness. Acknowledging our sins and asking for God's forgiveness, cleansing, and power open the door for him to use us mightily if we will look to him for our rescue and let him not only forgive us, but forgive us of all of our unrighteousness (1 John 1:8-9).
