    按：你知道魔鬼引诱你犯罪会有什麽结果吗？第一、你会远离神，会失去许
    多祝福；第二、罪的工价乃是死，包括肉体的死和灵命的死；第三，你会被
    魔鬼踏在脚底下，受魔鬼的欺凌、控制，你会失去基督徒应有的喜乐和平安
    。

    不过，我要告诉你：你凭著自己，绝对无法胜过魔鬼的引诱和试探，你唯一
    得胜的方法，就是投靠救主耶稣基督徒，让他作你的力量，仗著他夸胜，那
    你就能把魔鬼踩在脚底下，胜过罪恶的引诱！

求祢拦阻仆人不犯任意妄为的罪。□诗篇19篇13节
Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins. □Psalm 19:13

    在我童年时，我喜欢骑著一辆由绳子操纵的推车。有一次，我从家门口滑向
马路时，我记起父母的警告：「一定要先左右查看街上有无车辆。」但我自以为
，就这一次不查看车辆也没有关系。忽然，我听到刺耳的紧急刹车声，车子差点
就撞到我。就这一次违反父母的规定，差点就让我付出了生命的代价。

    圣经有许多对上帝的命令明知故犯的例子。当大卫还是个少年，他在牧羊时
就经常默想上帝的律法。他清楚知道十诫的第七条就是不可奸淫。然而，当他看
见乌利亚的妻子在沐浴的时候，他却利用自己的王权抢夺了这位美丽的女人。他
犯下的罪导致了严重的後果（撒母耳记下 11-12 章）。

    诗人写道：「求祢拦阻仆人不犯任意妄为的罪」（诗篇 19 篇 13 节）。你
是否也面临类似的诱惑？即使你知道那是错的，你还是想要做某件「就这一次」
的事。例如：浏览色情网站，从公司帐户「借」钱，或是歪曲事实。这些事件看
起来似乎都只是「就这一次」的行为，但是却会导致严重的後果。让我们靠著上
帝的帮助，脱离罪恶，得著从上帝而来的出路（哥林多前书 10 章 13 节）。

我深知道心易放荡，
远离父家慕虚华，
今献身心求加印记，
永作主民在父家。Robinson

试探会来敲门；千万不要留它吃晚餐！
Temptations will knock at your door; don』t ask them to stay for
dinner!

Just This Once
June 5, 2012 □ by Dennis Fisher

    As a boy, I used to ride a go-cart that was steered with a rope.
On one occasion, as I propelled my way down the driveway, my parents
』 warning came to mind: 「 Always look up and down the street for
cars. 」 But I rationalized: It 』 s okay not to do that just this
once. Then I heard the sound of screeching tires as a car came to an
abrupt stop to avoid hitting me. Thinking I could break my parents 』
rule nearly cost me my life.

    The Bible has many examples of those who knew better but who chose
to break God 』 s rules. From boyhood, David had meditated on the law
of God while he tended his sheep. He knew that the seventh commandment
condemned adultery, yet when he saw a beautiful woman bathing he used
his royal power to take the wife of Uriah for his own. This sin
resulted in terrible consequences (2 Sam. 11 □ 12).

    The psalmist wrote: 「 Keep back Your servant also from
presumptuous sins 」 (Ps. 19:13). Have you felt tempted to do
something 「 just this once 」 even though you knew it was wrong?
Glancing at Internet pornography, 「 borrowing 」 money from an
account at work, or stretching the truth may each seem like an
isolated activity but can lead to terrible consequences. With God 』 s
help, turn from sin and find His way of escape (1 Cor. 10:13).

Prone to wander□Lord, I feel it;
Prone to leave the God I love; Here』s my heart, O take and seal it,
Seal it for Thy courts above. □Robinson
