蒙主引导
“他使我的灵魂苏醒，为自己的名引导我走义路。”
诗篇 23:3
过去，我们都是在汽车的方向盘上摊开地图找目的地。为了确认我们的方向，我们要不停地对照地图上的数据和街头的实际标示。反反复复，最后我们总是希望平安顺利抵达。如今，完全不同了，没有人再去看地图了。我们有人工智能服务助手Siri。在你的苹果手机上，你只要对着它说你要去哪里，它马上就给你一个导航设置，你只要听从它的语音提示 包括改换车道、避开建筑施工等等。很多时候，你都不知道它是否准确，但是你就得跟着它，因为你相信它知道你要去的地方。
但是，你的人生要往哪里走？这个Siri可就帮不了你了。但是主耶稣可以引导你到达你受造时所命定的地方。他叫你在哪里拐弯；从哪个出口出来，你都愿意听从他的带领吗？即使你并不知道自己要走的每一步，你是否相信祂的引领呢？如果你相信，祂的灵就会帮助你刚强壮胆，坚定地追求你的使命。
今日祷告：
亲爱的耶稣，我相信你对我人生每一步的带领，求你帮助我听从你。阿们。

GPS
He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name.
PSALM 23:3
In the old days, people used to unfold road maps over their steering wheels and on their dashboards. Then, in order to figure out where they were going, they would look up at the road, down at the map, up at street signs, down again at the map, up at visual markers, and down at the map again—eventually, hopefully safely, getting to where they needed to go. Today, of course, things are quite different. Instead of a paper map, we have Siri. On your iPhone you can tell Siri to find the location you need to go and route you there. You merely follow her navigation (or his if you have changed its voice), including instructions to change lanes or to avoid construction. Many times you don’t even know for sure that you are being led in the right direction, but you consent to follow Siri because you trust she/he knows where you are going. Where do you need to go in your life? Siri can only get you so far. But Jesus can get you where you were created to be. Are you willing to let him tell you when to turn or when to take an exit? Do you trust yourself to his guidance, even if you don’t always know all the steps to take? If you do, you will be strengthened by his Spirit to pursue your calling.
Pray for the Day:
Dear Jesus, I trust your steps of guidance for my life today. Help me listen to you. Amen.
