466 中翻英 (166)         Only look upward upon Jesus.   當仰望主耶穌基督.                    7/23/2023

七月二十三日的曠野筵席是豐盛的大餐.     雖然是在曠野, 前面是一望無際的沙漠,   却有主的雲柱與火柱伴隨我們,   只要仰望祂, 就有無限的光亮與溫暖.  親愛的訪友,  您有經過黑暗與冷酷寒冬風 暴的經驗嗎?    只有仰望主的榮臉,   您就充滿了盼望.

「你的眼目，要向前正看，你的眼睛當向前直觀。」（箴   4:25 新國際版）

對于我們這些神的子民們，最殘害屬靈生命的，就是向內注視自己。自省是一种致命傷。我們有沒有認識這點呢？我們很容易認識罪是致人死命的毒物，但對自省之為害，卻是不易于明顯察覺。那難以覺察的隱疾，比明顯的病症更為可怕。如果我問你一個問題：「驕傲是錯嗎？」你是知道那答案的。如果我又再問：「嫉妒又如何呢？」你也必回答：「當然是錯的！」然而，你竟能在一日之內多次向內注視自己，尚認為自己所做的是特別屬靈，卻完全沒有留意到它的禍患。切莫再這樣做了！當學習那些在圣靈中行事為人（跟隨圣靈而行）的人。你若里面有感動要你對某人傳講基督，你是否停留在那里省察自己，看這催促到底是出乎自己，或是出乎神？當你正在這樣問自己的時候，机會就過去了！當行動起來，你就會得到釋放。

"Let your eyes look straight ahead, let your eyes look straight ahead." (Proverbs 4:25  NIV)

For God's people, we look inward ourselves to our spiritual life is the most harmful thing. Introspection is a fatal wound for us. Do we acknoelege this? We can easy to discover that sin is a deadly poison.  But it is not easy to clearly perceive its harmfulness to self-examination. The hidden disease that is difficult to detect is more terrible than the obvious disease. If I ask you a question, "Is pride wrong?" you know the answer. If I asked again, "What about jealousy?" you would answer, "Of course it is wrong!" Yet you can look inward at yourself many times a day, thinking that what you are doing is particularly spiritual, and completely oblivious to its evil.

Don't do it again! Learn from those who walk in the Spirit (walk with the Spirit). If you have an inner impulse to preach Christ to someone, do you stop there and examine yourself to see whether the urging is from yourself or from God? When you are asking yourself this, the opportunity is passing! When you act, you will be set free.
