經文：「祂...用手中的巧妙，引導他們。」（詩78:72） 親愛的讀者，當你前方的道路尚未顯明的時候，就應該將自己的判斷力全然交託聖靈，求祂為你關閉每一扇其它的門，只剩下那唯一合適的。同時，你應該繼續停留在原來的位置上不動，當你尚未得到清楚的指示之前，就當把你正處的階段算為神的旨意。 在人生的長路上，你會看見神走在你的前頭，並且封鎖了許多你本來想要進去的門；但是請你記得：在這些門以外，還有一扇是祂特地為你保留不鎖的。請打開來並走進去，在其中你將面對面地看見一道充滿機會的河流；那是比你最香甜的夢中所能想像的還要更寬闊，更深遠，並且是直通洋海的。 神常常藉著環境引導我們。有時前方的道路似乎完全堵住，但是沒有多久一件平凡的事情發生了；這件事情，也許對於別人根本不算甚麼；但是對於擁有敏銳信心的眼睛，卻是充滿意義。 這樣的經歷，有時竟然會反覆遇到許多次。這並不是一種偶然，乃是神正在為我們敞開一條當走的路徑。我們越往前走，所接受的引導也越多；就像坐在一部飛馳的夜間快車：越接近城市，看見的燈火也就越通明。--梅爾 F.B.Meyer 如果你到神的面前尋求引導，祂必然引導你；但是絕不會為了安慰你對於神的半信半疑，便將那張祂對於你生命計劃的圖表拿出來給你看。祂只會引導你一條路，如果你願意高高興興，相相信信地向前跟隨，祂就會再指引你更前方的路程。--蒲秀納爾 Horace Bushnell 新譯｜荒漠甘泉讀書會

Scripture: "He guided them by the skillfulness of his hands" (Ps. 78:72). When you are doubtful as to your course, submit your judgment absolutely to the Spirit of God, and ask Him to shut against you every door but the right one…Meanwhile keep on as you are, and consider the absence of indication to be the indication of God's will that you are on His track…As you go down the long corridor, you will find that He has preceded you, and locked many doors which you would fain have entered; but be sure that beyond these there is one which He has left unlocked. Open it and enter, and you will find yourself face to face with a bend of the river of opportunity, broader and deeper than anything you had dared to imagine in your sunniest dreams. Launch forth upon it; it conducts to the open sea. God guides us, often by circumstances. At one moment the way may seem utterly blocked; and then shortly afterward some trivial incident occurs, which might not seem much to others, but which to the keen eye of faith speaks volumes. Sometimes these things are repeated in various ways, in answer to prayer. They are not haphazard results of chance, but the opening up of circumstances in the direction in which we would walk. And they begin to multiply as we advance toward our goal, just as the lights do as we near a populous town, when darting through the land by night express. --F. B. Meyer If you go to Him to be guided, He will guide you; but He will not comfort your distrust or half-trust of Him by showing you the chart of all His purposes concerning you. He will show you only into a way where, if you go cheerfully and trustfully forward, He will show you on still farthcr. --Horace Bushnell ｜ Mrs. Charles Cowman
