1月15日 明知故犯

撒上15:17-21
撒母耳对扫罗说、从前你虽然以自己为小、岂不是被立为以色列支派的元首么。耶和华膏你作以色列的王。耶和华差遣你、吩咐你说、你去击打那些犯罪的亚玛力人、将他们灭绝净尽。你为何没有听从耶和华的命令、急忙掳掠财物、行耶和华眼中看为恶的事呢。扫罗对撒母耳说、我实在听从了耶和华的命令、行了耶和华所差遣我行的路、擒了亚玛力王亚甲来、灭尽了亚玛力人。百姓却在所当灭的物中、取了最好的牛羊、要在吉甲献与耶和华你的神。
Samuel said, "Though you were little in your own sight, weren't you made the head of the tribes of Israel? Yahweh anointed you king over Israel; and Yahweh sent you on a journey, and said, 'Go, and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they are consumed.' Why then didn't you obey the voice of Yahweh, but took the spoils, and did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh?" Saul said to Samuel, "But I have obeyed the voice of Yahweh, and have gone the way which Yahweh sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites. But the people took of the spoil, sheep and cattle, the chief of the devoted things, to sacrifice to Yahweh your God in Gilgal."
主耶稣!扫罗王明知神的吩咐,却纵容以色列百姓违反神的命令,受责备时还假装无辜受累。我们身为信徒,晓得神的法规,纵容他人去行,面对神的责备,就把责任归咎他人。我们明知故犯,还怪责他人,推卸责任,主啊!我们向祢认罪,悔改,求祢收回祢的怒气,免我们的债,不追算我们的罪孽。
