(箴言 16:6)
“因憐憫誠實，罪孽得贖．敬畏耶和華的，遠離惡事。”
這節經文的上半部分揭示了神那份永恆不變的慈愛與真理。當我們真心相信耶穌，生命便會經歷巨大的翻轉。我們會學習以神的愛去愛人，並以聖經的真理作為行事為人的準則。一個真正信靠主的人，生命中必然會流露出憐憫與誠實的特質。
而經文的下半部分則關乎我們在日常生活中的應用。因為我們愛神，所以心中會生發出一份敬畏之情，使我們不願做出任何令神憂傷或不喜悅的事情。這種敬畏並非恐懼，而是一種尊崇，引導我們在面對各種抉擇時，自覺地遠離惡事。
無論是在學校、職場還是生活的各個細節中，我們每天都會面臨無數的選擇。其實抉擇並不困難，關鍵在於我們是否願意順服聖靈的引領，並勤讀聖經以明白神的心意。今天，你會怎樣抉擇呢？
(Proverbs 16:6)
“By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.”
The first half of this verse reveals God’s eternal and unchanging mercy and truth. When we truly believe in Jesus, our lives undergo a massive transformation. We learn to love others with the love of God and take the truth of the Bible as our standard for conduct. In the life of a person who truly trusts in the Lord, the qualities of mercy and truth will inevitably flow out.
The second half of the verse concerns our application in daily life. Because we love God, a sense of reverence arises in our hearts, making us unwilling to do anything that would grieve Him or displease Him. This kind of fear is not terror, but rather a form of profound respect and honor that guides us to consciously depart from evil when facing various choices.
Whether at school, in the workplace, or in every detail of life, we face countless choices every day. In truth, making a choice is not difficult; the key lies in whether we are willing to submit to the guidance of the Holy Spirit and diligently study the Bible to understand God’s heart. Today, how will you choose?
