💜《神的心意-God’s Best Secrets》20211022『靠聖靈行事-Walk in the Spirit』— 慕安德烈(Andrew Murray)

經文: 「你們當順著聖靈而行……我們若是靠聖靈得生，就當靠聖靈行事。」— (聖經·加拉太書 5章16,25節)

「靠聖靈行事」讓我們聯想到每天與人彼此互動的日常生活。基督徒的言行舉止，必須依靠聖靈而行，才算是個屬靈的人，他不放縱情慾，反倒順著聖靈而行。

很多人以為只有在親近上帝，向上帝禱告的時候，才需要聖靈；或是在做教會事工的時候，才需要聖靈，其實這是極大的錯誤，因為上帝賜下聖靈，就是要我們整天與祂同在，隨時隨地求教於祂，仰賴祂。尤其在這邪惡的世代，全人類都臥在惡者的權勢下，我們格外需要聖靈的看顧與保守，我們每天清晨都要來到上帝面前，領受新鮮的聖靈，心被膏抹，行這一天的路程。在這一天當中，讓我們常常提醒自己，聖靈與我們常相左右，並將我們的心向上帝高舉，宣告聖靈常與我們同在。

保羅說：「我們既接受耶穌為救主，就當與祂同行。」又說：「當穿戴主耶穌。」就如同我們外出時，要穿外衣，我們行事動作時，也當想到若是耶穌，祂會怎麼做。

「要靠著聖靈行事，勿放縱肉體的私慾。」若我們不在聖靈的引導之下，就很容易滑入世界的誘惑，任憑己意而行。但願我們能夠明白上帝的恩典是何等寶貴，聖靈在我們心中呼叫「阿爸父」，藉此保守我們如蒙愛的兒女，常常活在上帝面前。

弟兄姐妺們，謹記這個真理：聖靈要教導我們每天時時刻刻與耶穌同行，並藉著聖靈行事。要不斷地感謝上帝，賜給我們這樣好的一位導師，每天更新我們的靈，賜下屬天的恩典，使我們能緊緊倚靠耶穌，每天與祂同行談心。

『 Walk in the Spirit 』

Scripture: “Walk in the Spirit . . . If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.” — (Galatians 5:16,25)

The word “walk” reminds us of daily life with our fellow-men. The Christian in his walk and conversation must follow the leading of the Spirit, and walk by the Spirit. That will be the sign of the spiritual man, who serves God in the Spirit, and does not trust in the flesh.

People speak as though the Spirit were only needed in our intercourse with God when we pray, or for our work in the service of the Kingdom. This is a great mistake. God gives us His Spirit to be in us the whole day. We need Him most in the midst of our daily work, because the world has then such power to lead us away from God. We need to pray the Father every morning for a fresh portion of His Spirit for each day. During the course of the day let us remind ourselves that the Spirit is with us, and lift up our hearts to God, remembering that the Spirit abides with us always.

Paul says: “As ye have received Christ Jesus our Lord, so walk ye in Him;” and again: “Put on the Lord Jesus Christ.” As I put on my cloak when I go out, so the Christian must put on the Lord Jesus, and show by his conduct that Christ lives in him, and that he walks by the Spirit.

“Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lusts of the flesh.” As long as we are not under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, the flesh will rule over us. Oh, that we knew the unspeakable value of the grace that God has given! The Spirit of His Son in our hearts will cry “Abba, Father,” so that we may walk the whole day in God’s presence as His beloved children. Christian, learn this lesson: the Spirit is given you to teach you that you may walk by the Spirit at all times. Thank God continually for this Divine Leader, who gives us daily renewal from heaven, and enables us to walk and to abide in Christ.
