Tonight I cleaned up the dining table, then finished up the last bowl of rice. What caught my attention was how different the dining table look like, when it’s in the dark, then under the light, and finally when I sat down and ate my supper.<\/p>\n
In the dark, I couldn’t see anything very much. I saw a dining table, cleared from stuff. With the light, I could see few black beans left from dinner, so I cleaned them up. But when I sat down and ate, I saw the many little ants that running across the table.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It reminded me of this afternoon incident. When convicted under God’s Word, I felt so ashamed of myself. I felt so bad that I didn’t pay attention enough and let my guard slipped.<\/p>\n
But when I read other articles and especially a comment from somebody who brought up phycology and human’s built up, somehow I felt that I was justified, or the degree of my err was normal. To some extent, I felt I was not that bad after all.<\/p>\n
Then I realized this truth, that difference between human’s standard and God’s standard was just so huge. In human’s standard, I’m considered ok. But in God’s standard, that’s a wrongdoing.<\/p>\n
Similarly, without God’s standard revealed in His Word, we all live in darkness. We just can’t see the dirt. With God’s Word shed the light, we could see our dots and black sins. And when we look intently into our dots, we will realize how terrible we are and our actions.<\/p>\n
So Lord, help me to look intently into Your Law. And help me not to waver and compare myself with human’s standard.<\/p>\n
But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it\u2014not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it\u2014they will be blessed in what they do. ~James 1:25<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tonight I cleaned up the dining table, then finished up the last bowl of rice.
