对今日诗句的想法
噢，这是何等的景象啊。当我们看重钱袋胜于品格时，当我们为政党领导人的轻率言行、不忠诚、不法行为开脱时， 我们其实已经到了非常可悲的地步！但在我们大声抱怨政府官员可悲的道德现状之前，让我们确保我们在日常生活中的坦诚—不说别人的坏话，对婚姻与纯净的誓言持守忠诚，让我们确保对自己的要求胜过对他人的要求。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Wow, what an indictment, so please bear with me as we think through this and open our hearts to God.
When we vote our pocketbook more than character, and when we excuse the indiscretions, infidelities, and illegalities in the leaders of any political party, we have reached a very sad state indeed! When we ignore the anti-biblical stands politicians and their parties make to vote for a candidate because we hate the other candidate, we give the future away to godlessness. So, what do we do? We can and should pray for wisdom when we go to the polls. But there is a more important issue for each of us. Before we rant and rave about the sad state of morality and ethics in our public officials, let's make sure we're honest with ourselves about the sin in our own daily lives. What do we do in private when we think no one is looking? What corners are we willing to shave off of holiness and honesty to justify our indiscretions, falsehoods, lusts, and distortions? Do we say cruel things and gossip about others behind their backs? Are we faithful to our marriages? Do our hearts seek purity more than security? Do we treat others who serve us with dignity and respect? Is our word trustworthy, empty of malice, while being full of kindness? Let's make sure we expect higher standards of ourselves than we do of others. Let's also live to bless our nation through our righteous living. Let's seek to be sinless, bringing honor to God and his people. Then, let's ask our officials, politicians, and church leaders to do the same.
我的祷告
神啊，你不仅是全恩神，更是圣洁的神！圣洁，你是圣洁的全能神。愿全地充满你的荣耀，愿我所行所言都能彰显你的荣耀。愿你饶恕我的罪和伪善。我承诺以生命荣耀你，愿你以纯净、公义与圣洁祝福我。奉主耶稣之名祈求，阿们！
My Prayer...
Father, we honor you as the only true, living, almighty, and holy God! We join the angels of heaven in saying, "Holy, holy, holy are you, the Lord God Almighty."* May we bring you glory through what we think, say, and do. Please forgive us of our sins as we seek to banish hypocrisy from our character. Please bless us with purity, righteousness, holiness, compassion, and love as we pledge ourselves to live for your glory. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
* Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 4:8.
