【诗101:7】“行诡诈的，必不得住在我家里；说谎话的，必不得立在我眼前。”【Psa 101:7】“No one who practices deceit will dwell in my house; no one who speaks falsely will stand in my presence.”

诗篇101篇是大卫立志过讨神喜悦的生活。他宣告，诡诈和虚假在他的家中以及神面前都没有立足之地。大卫明白，一个健康的国度始于一颗圣洁的心，而无论在公开场合还是私下生活中，正直都至关重要。Psalm 101 is David’s commitment to lead a life that honours God. He declares that deceit and falsehood have no place in his house or before God’s presence. David understood that a healthy kingdom begins with a holy heart, and that integrity matters both in public and in private.

神是真理的神。祂从不说谎，祂所说的一切都可信可靠。作为祂的儿女，我们蒙召彰显祂的性情。诡诈不仅仅是说谎，也包括夸大事实、隐瞒真相、假装成不是自己的样子，或心怀二意地生活。God is a God of truth. He never lies, and everything He says is trustworthy. As His children, we are called to reflect His character. Deceit is more than telling lies. It can include exaggerating, hiding the truth, pretending to be someone we’re not, or living with a divided heart.这些事看似微小，但因为“说谎话的，必不得立在我眼前”，若不加以对付，它们就会渐渐使我们远离主的同在，我们的心也可能在属灵上变得麻木。Though these may seem small, because “no one who speaks falsely will stand in My presence,” if they are left unchecked, they gradually pull us away from the Lord’s presence, and our hearts can become spiritually numb.

耶稣就是“道路、真理、生命”（约翰福音14:6）。祂藉着受死和复活赦免我们的罪，并赐给我们祂的圣灵，就是真理的圣灵。当圣灵责备我们时，我们不需要因羞愧而躲藏。Jesus is “the way and the truth and the life” (John 14:6). Through His death and resurrection, He forgives our sins and gives us His Holy Spirit, the Spirit of truth. When the Holy Spirit convicts us, we don’t need to hide in shame.相反，我们可以谦卑悔改，离弃自己的道路，让祂的真理改变我们的思想、言语和行为。当我们行在真理中，就不再需要戴着面具或维持虚假的外表，因为祂的恩典够我们用。Instead, we can humbly repent, turn from our own ways, and let His truth transform how we think, speak, and act. As we walk in the truth, we no longer need masks or false appearances, because His grace is sufficient for us.

祷告Prayer

天父，感谢祢是真理的神。求祢鉴察我的心，显明我里面一切的诡诈、虚伪和隐藏的罪。求祢饶恕我在言语、态度或行为上所有不诚实和不忠信之处。求祢以圣灵充满我，帮助我爱慕真理，用爱心说诚实话，并以正直而活。Heavenly Father, thank You that You are the God of truth. Search my heart and reveal any deceit, hypocrisy, or hidden sin within me. Forgive me where I have been dishonest or unfaithful in my words, attitudes, or actions. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit and help me to love the truth, speak the truth in love, and live with integrity.愿我的生命彰显耶稣的性情，使我的家和我的心都成为祢乐意居住的地方。奉耶稣的名祷告，阿们。May my life reflect the character of Jesus, so that my home and my heart may be places where You delight to dwell. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
