0716 尋求我聖靈的印證
當你凡事都先尋求我時，你必將面臨挑戰。有時，你會受到誘惑，聽從周圍人的建議，而不是聽從那在你裡面升起、我聖靈的智慧。你必須始終謙卑受教，尊重我放在你生命中作為領袖的人；但你也必須與我建立親密的個人關係。我的聲音必須是你的決定性因素；我的話語必須是你的根基。
事實是，你不可能取悅所有人，你不可能總是得到他人的認可。有些問題太過深奧，他人無法理解。我給你的某些指示，除了你之外，沒有人能夠明白。有時，甚至連你自己也無法明白！眾多的諮詢師能為你提供安全感，很多時候，我也會藉着他們來引導你。然而，有時宗教性限制會試圖壓制我的聲音。這就是為什麼你必須先與我建立關係。在尋求他人的建議之前，先奔向我；呼求我的智慧，尋求我的引導，勝過任何其他人的指引，我必會使你的腳步清楚明白（或：我必為你指明方向）。跟隨你內心的平安，以及我聖靈的帶領。
惟願你們今天能聽從祂的聲音。不要像在曠野悖逆時那樣，硬着心腸惹祂發怒。——希伯來書 3:15
0716 Seek the confirmation of my Spirit.
As you seek me first in all things, you will be challenged. At times, you will be tempted to heed the counsel of those around you instead of the wisdom of my Spirit that rises within you. You must always be humble and teachable, honoring those I’ve placed in your life as leaders, but you must also have an intimate, personal relationship with me. My voice must be the deciding factor. My Word must be your foundation.
The truth is, you cannot please everyone. You cannot expect to always have man’s approval. Some issues are too deep for others to understand. Some instructions that I give you won’t make sense to anyone but you. Sometimes they won’t even make sense to you! There is safety in the multitude of counselors, and very often I guide you through them. However, sometimes the restrictions of the religious will try to suffocate my voice. This is why you must have a relationship with me first. Run to me before you run to the counsel of man. Cry out for my wisdom, for my guidance more than any other, and I will make your steps plain. Follow the peace within and the leading of my Spirit.
If only today you would listen to his voice. Don’t make him angry by hardening your hearts, as you did in the wilderness rebellion. –HEBREWS 3:15
