【认真悔改 堵住祸患】

主讲: 郑伟健同工

引言：认真的人只错一次

一、生活的次序要再次摆对

1. 勿体贴肉体大于神 (V1-20)

体贴肉体的约押看见大卫肉体的需要，自己用了自己的方式，用人的聪明满足大卫的需要。他找了一位聪明的妇人来劝王，叫她假装居丧的寡妇到王面前说一个比喻，好让押沙龙可以回来。

2. 勿爱儿子大于爱神 (V21- 24)

大卫因为很爱和想念押沙龙，所以抵挡不过肉体的感情，想把他带回来。但回来了又不想见他，因为见了押沙龙若不处理他，在神、在人面前都说不过去。

大卫的纠结不是因为无知，而是因为明知故犯。他明明知道神的律法是故杀人的必被治死，但又舍不得父子情深，结果就在挣扎之中，埋下了家国灾难的祸根。

二、要知人知面更需要知心 （V25-27）

押沙龙和扫罗一样俊美，一样都得人的称赞。也生养众多，表面看来具备王位继承人的条件，使大卫没有动手惩罚他。押沙龙的女儿名叫他玛，和他被暗嫩玷污的妹子同名；他和妹子紧紧相连。

虽然人是俊美，但他内心的仇恨也很深，甚至把暗嫩杀害。甚至后来他追捕大卫像追捕猎物一样，大卫被押沙龙的俊美抓住了，也被押沙龙的气势盖过了。

三、站在对的位置要摆对位 （V28-33）

大卫爱子心切，没有站对位置拿起父亲的威严，而是用肉体去体贴和包容孩子。即便他杀了人、放火烧人的田、威迫约押，但大卫什么都没说就和他亲嘴。

大卫作为父亲，面对儿子如此软弱无力，其实是纵容儿子走上死路，也让自己的王位不保。

总结：一错再错，祸患无穷；知错悔改，必有后福

无论过去如何，让我们不要重复“错”，而是让 “错”成为过去。一起进入神恩典的门，在认真悔改的时刻，神一定会给我们机会回转。

2 Samuel 14 Serious Repentance, Stop the Woe
GK611 Morning Devotion

The Morning Devotion Speaker: Co-Worker Asher Chang

Introduction: Serious people only makes mistakes once.

1. The order of life must be set right again

(1) Don't treasure flesh before God (V1-20)

Considerate Joab saw the need of David's flesh and used his own way to fulfill David's need with human cleverness. He found a wise woman to persuade the king that she should pretend to be a widow in mourning to tell a parable before the king so that Absalom could return.

(2) Do not love your son more than God (V21- 24)

David couldn't resist his fleshly feelings and wanted to bring him back because he loved and missed Absalom so much. But when he came back, he did not want to see him because if he saw Absalom and did not deal with him, he would not be able to explain before God or men.

David's entanglement was not out of ignorance, but out of knowing. He knew that God's law was that a murderer would be put to death, but he could not let go of his father's love for his son. As a result, in the midst of his struggle, he planted the root of disaster for his family and his nation.

2. Knowing a man is more important than knowing his heart (V25-27)

Absalom was as handsome as Saul and as praised by the people. He also had many children and appeared to have the qualifications of an heir to the throne, which prevented David from punishing him. Absalom's daughter's name was Tamar, the same name as his sister who had been defiled by Amnon; he and her were closely related.

Though the man was handsome, the hatred of his heart ran deep, even to the point of murdering Amnon. Even later he pursued David like a prey, and David was seized by Absalom's handsomeness and overshadowed by Absalom's manner.

3. Standing in the Right Position to Set the Right Position (V28-33)

David loved his son so much that he did not stand in the right position to take up the majesty of a father, but used his flesh to be considerate and tolerant of his child. Even though he killed a man, set fire to a man's field, and intimidated Joab, David kissed him without saying anything.

By being so weak as a father in the face of his son, David actually condoned his son's path to death and put his own throne at risk.

Conclusion: Repeated mistakes will lead to endless trouble; repentance of mistakes will lead to future blessings

Regardless of what happened in the past, let us not repeat our "mistakes", but let them become the past. Let us enter the door of God's grace together, and in the moment of serious repentance, God will surely give us the opportunity to turn around.
