为何悔改？
我们没有多少人喜欢听悔改这个词，因为它往往带有负面的含义。但在箴言中，智慧呼喊说，人都当为她的责备而“回转”，这是为了给他们一份大礼。
在这里，智慧被描绘成一个想要“倾吐”她的心意并让人明白她的训诲的人。“回转吧，”她在说，“好使我能把更多的自己赐给你。”这段经文有一个更直白的翻译，就是“我要将我的灵浇灌你们 . . .”
在别处的经文中，神藉着先知说了同样的话，应许将祂的心意和奥秘显明。或许其中最著名的是使徒行传2:17，使徒彼得宣告说：“神说：在末后的日子，我要将我的灵浇灌凡有血气的。你们的儿女要说预言；你们的少年人要见异象；老年人要做异梦”（另见约珥书 2:28）。
神总是愿意把祂自己更多地赐给我们，鼓励我们谦卑悔改，接受祂。耶稣是完全的神，祂成了像我们一样的人，好使我们能领受神的智慧，拥有全新、整全的生命。如果我们没有敞开自己，认识到我们需要祂的帮助，我们就不能领受祂的心意和训诲（变得更像祂）。
主啊，请帮助我今天听到你的智慧，鼓励我带着一颗开放、悔改的心来领受你的圣灵。阿们。
箴言 1:20-23
20智慧在街市上呼喊，在宽阔处发声，
21在热闹街头喊叫，在城门口、在城中发出言语，
22说：“你们愚昧人喜爱愚昧，亵慢人喜欢亵慢，愚顽人恨恶知识，要到几时呢？
23你们当因我的责备回转，我要将我的灵浇灌你们，将我的话指示你们。
Why Repent?
"Repent at my rebuke! Then I will pour out my thoughts to you. I will make known to you my teachings." - Proverbs 1:23
Not many of us like to hear the word repent, because it tends to have negative connotations. But here in Proverbs, when the voice of wisdom cries out that everyone should "repent" at her rebuke, it's for the sake of offering them a great gift.
Here Wisdom is pictured as a person who wants to "pour out" her thoughts and make known her teachings. "Repent," she is saying, "so that I can give you more of myself." A more literal translation of the text here says, "I will pour out my spirit on you. . . ."
In some other Bible passages, God speaks the same words through his prophets, promising to make known his thoughts and mysteries. Perhaps the best known of those passages is Acts 2:17, where the apostle Peter declares, "'In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams'" (see also Joel 2:28).
God has always desired to give us more of himself, to encourage us toward a humble and contrite posture so that we can receive him. And Jesus, who is fully God, became human, just like us, so that we can receive God's wisdom and have new, full life. We cannot receive his thoughts and teachings (and become more like him) if we have not opened ourselves to recognize that we need his help.
Lord, help me today to hear your voice of wisdom. Encourage me to come with an open, contrite heart to receive your Spirit. Amen.
