标 题：一条看似正路的路
经 节：有一条路，人以为正，至终成为死亡之路。（箴言十六章25节）
事情不总是像它们的外表一样。箴言警告，我们可能自以为走在正途，但实际却走在敌对神的方向，朝着死亡而行。人们不会主动寻求神或追求公义（罗马书三：10～18）。只有圣灵能唤醒我们向基督沉睡的心，使我们愿意遵行神旨意。如果我们所作的决定已经远离圣灵的教导，我们就像一条没有指南针的船一样。我们会以自己的智慧判断，按著自己看起来是最合理的方法行事。然而，看似富有吸引力的事物，实际上却可能将我们推入罪恶的深渊，最后会毁灭我们最宝贝的东西。人类最深奥的思想在神面前是愚拙的（歌林多前书一：18～20）。惟有神知道永生的道路，祂要引导我们行在其中（马太福音七：13～14）。
不要假设每个机会都是从神而来的。撒但会假扮成“光明的天使”，牠的邀请对你似乎是最有好处（哥林多后书十一：14）。然而，牠的道路只有将人引入死亡（约翰福音八：44）。惟有神的话语如同路上的光，引导你走向正路（诗篇一一九：105）。
没有先询问圣灵的指引来行事，是非常危险的（约翰福音十六：13）。当你面对抉择时，花时间寻求圣灵指引。祂对你各个选择都一清二楚，祂会帮助你了解真理，并经验丰盛的生命，要相信祂的带领。
A Way That Seems
Right
There is a way
that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death. (Proverbs 16:25)
Things are not always what they seem. Proverbs warns that we can be
deceived into believing we are going down the right path and yet be heading
toward death, the opposite direction from God’s will. People do not naturally
seek God or pursue righteousness (Rom. 3:10–18). Only as the Spirit awakens our
hearts to the Person of Christ are we able to desire God’s will. If we make
decisions apart from the guidance of the Spirit of God, we will be like a ship
trying to sail without a compass. We will do what makes the most sense, based
on our own wisdom. But what looks attractive may actually lead to sin,
ultimately destroying what is precious to us, for our most profound human
thinking is mere foolishness to God (1 Cor. 1:18–20). Only God knows the way
that leads to life, and He wants to lead us to walk in it (Matt. 7:13–14).
Don’t assume every opportunity that arises is from God. Satan will
disguise himself as an “angel of light,” and his invitations will seem to be in
your best interest (2 Cor. 11:14). Yet his way leads only to death (John 8:44).
The word of God will be like a light to your path, guiding you in the ways of
righteousness (Ps. 119:105). It can be perilous to follow a path that seems
right without first consulting the Holy Spirit for guidance (John 16:13). Take
time to seek the Holy Spirit’s direction when you face decisions. He knows the
full ramifications of your choices. The Holy Spirit will assist you to
understand truth and to experience abundant life. Trust Him as He leads you.
