6月3日 主的秘密
耶和华与敬畏他的人亲密，他必将自己的约指示他们。（诗二十五14）
朋友的标记是什么？是他把隐藏的愁苦告诉你？不是的，是他把隐藏的喜乐告诉你。许多人会把心底的愁苦向人倾诉，但是倾吐心底的喜乐才是亲密的最高表现。我们是让神向我们吐露他的喜乐，还是不断地把自己的心事向他倾吐，不容他有机会向我们说话？初信主的时候，对神有一大堆的请求；后来就发现神希望我们与他建立关系，摸着他的心意。耶稣对祷告的观念－－照你的旨意而行－－我们有没有紧紧遵守，以致获得神的奥秘？我们觉得宝贵的往往不是神所赐的大福，而是一些细微的事物。因为这些表示他与我们奇妙无比的亲密，深知我们生命的任何细节。
“……耶和华必指示他当选择的道路。”起初我们所要的，知道神爱引导；后来既然知道日益活在神里面，就不需要追问他的旨意是什么，因为根本没有想过还有其他可选择的旨意。我们得救成圣了，神就依我们一般的选择来引导我们；若我们选了神不喜悦的，他就会阻止，我们就要听从。一有疑惑，要立刻止步。切勿诸多辩驳说：“为什么不可以？”神借我们的选择教导我们，也就是说，他引导我们依常理来选择，我们不必经常问：“主啊，你的旨意怎样？”这样反阻碍了圣灵的工作。
祈祷◆啊，主啊，愿意跟从你是何等有益和重要的事。我愿意和极之渴望你的旨意得以成就。当我预期没有东西比你的旨意那样满有荣耀，我整个人都深深地感到喜乐。
June 3 The Secret Of The Lord
“The secret （friendship R.V.） of the Lord is with them that fear Him.” Psalm
25:14
What is the sign of a friend? That he tells you secret sorrows? No, that
he tells you secret joys. Many will confide to you their secret sorrows, but
the last mark of intimacy is to confide secret joys. Have we ever let God tell
us any of His joys, or are we telling God our secrets so continually that we
leave no room for Him to talk to us? At the beginning of our Christian life we
are full of requests to God, then we find that God wants to get us into relationship
with Himself, to get us in touch with His purposes. Are we so wedded to Jesus
Christ’s idea of prayer – “Thy will be done” – that we catch the secrets of
God? The things that make God dear to us are not so much His great big
blessings as the tiny things, because they show His amazing intimacy with us;
He knows every detail of our individual lives.
“. . . him shall He teach in the way that He shall choose.” At first we
want the consciousness of being guided by God, then as we go on we live so much
in the consciousness of God that we do not need to ask what His will is,
because the thought of choosing any other will never occur to us. If we are
saved and sanctified God guides us by our ordinary choices, and if we are going
to choose what He does not want, He will check, and we must heed. Whenever
there is doubt, stop at once. Never reason it out and say – “I wonder why I
shouldn’t?” God instructs us in what we choose, that is, He guides our common
sense, and we no longer hinder His Spirit by continually saying – “Now, Lord,
what is Thy will?”
