時刻需要神的帶領
詩篇三十二篇
1得赦免其過、遮蓋其罪的，這人是有福的！
2凡心裡沒有詭詐、耶和華不算為有罪的，這人是有福的！
3我閉口不認罪的時候，因終日唉哼而骨頭枯乾。
4黑夜白日，你的手在我身上沉重；我的精液耗盡，如同夏天的乾旱。〔細拉〕
5我向你陳明我的罪，不隱瞞我的惡。我說：“我要向耶和華承認我的過犯。”你就赦免我的罪惡。〔細拉〕
6為此，凡虔誠人都當趁你可尋找的時候禱告你；大水氾溢的時候，必不能到他那裡。
7你是我藏身之處，你必保佑我脫離苦難，以得救的樂歌四面環繞我。〔細拉〕
8我要教導你，指示你當行的路；我要定睛在你身上勸戒你。
9你不可像那無知的騾馬，必用嚼環轡頭勒住牠，不然，就不能馴服。
10惡人必多受苦楚；惟獨倚靠耶和華的，必有慈愛四面環繞他。
11你們義人應當靠耶和華歡喜快樂；你們心裡正直的人都當歡呼。
信息分享
但我們卻要知道以下這幾個要點：
1. 神已應許，祂必帶領祂的兒女。
2. 每個基督徒都不僅有一位人生嚮導（聖靈），還有一部人生指南（聖經）。
3. 神的帶領，絕不會與祂的話語相違。
4. 當神帶領我們作決定後，我們的內心必有平安。倘若你仍忐忑不安，就不要先行動。
請留意，我們除了在跟從神的帶領時會得到平安；當我們等候神，讓祂按自己的時間和方式向我們顯明祂的心意時，也同樣會得著平安。
我們在生活上的每一方面，都要配合神的時間，只是我們並不覺察而已。許多時候，神已向我們顯明祂的心意，但是當我們行動時，卻發現大門緊閉。當神的時間一到，大門就會打開，祂的旨意就要成就。當祂的旨意與祂的時間配合，神就會很快行動。
我們最需要在日常生活中尋求神的帶領，這是我們行事的根據。約翰衛斯理說過：「一般而言，神的帶領方式是讓我想到許多如此行事的理由。」
我們還要記著，神對他人的心意，未必就是對你的心意。神給你的朋友開綠燈，卻可能給你亮紅燈。你當然要為你的朋友們禱告；但同時卻要為自己的生命尋求神的旨意。這是最重要的。
每天早上，當你將生命交托給主的時候，祈求祂帶領你度過一天，然後便安靜信靠祂的帶領。到日之將盡，回望一天的時候，無論你察覺神的帶領與否，都該為當天所經歷的一切，感謝祂的帶領。
GUIDANCE -OUR CONTINUING NEED
Psalm 32
1 Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven,
Whose sin is covered.
2 Blessed is the man to whom the LORD does not impute iniquity,
And in whose spirit there is no deceit.
3 When I kept silent, my bones grew old
Through my groaning all the day long.
4 For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me;
My vitality was turned into the drought of summer. Selah
5 I acknowledged my sin to You,
And my iniquity I have not hidden.
I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,”
And You forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah
6 For this cause everyone who is godly shall pray to You
In a time when You may be found;
Surely in a flood of great waters
They shall not come near him.
7 You are my hiding place;
You shall preserve me from trouble;
You shall surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah
8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will guide you with My eye.
9 Do not be like the horse or like the mule,
Which have no understanding,
Which must be harnessed with bit and bridle,
Else they will not come near you.
10 Many sorrows shall be to the wicked;
But he who trusts in the LORD, mercy shall surround him.
11 Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, you righteous;
And shout for joy, all you upright in heart!
Message
But there are several points we need to recognise:
1. God has clearly promised to be a guide for his children.
2. As Christians, we not only have a Guide (the Holy Spirit) but we also have a Guide Book (the Bible).
3. God will never guide us contrary to his Word.
4. God's guidance will never bring inner conflict after the decision is made. Never act if you do not have peace concerning the decision made.
Please note however - while peace follows God's guidance you can also have peace while waiting for God to reveal his will in his own time and way.
God's timing is also involved in our lives. This is something we don't always realise. He often reveals his will to us but the door for action remains closed. Then in God's time the door does open and his will is fulfilled. When his will and his time coincide, God can act very quickly.
However it is guidance in every day circumstances we seem to need the most. Here is where 'sanctified common sense' comes in. John Wesley said: 'God generally guides me by presenting reasons to my mind for acting in a certain way.'
Remember also that what may be God's will for someone else may not be God's will for you. A green light for your friend may be a red light for you. While naturally you will pray for your friends, it is God's will for your own life you are seeking. This is most important.
As you commit your life to the Lord each morning, ask him to guide you through that day. Then quietly trust him to do it. At the close of the day as you look back over it, thank him for leading you, consciously and unconsciously in all you have done during the day.
