标 题：祂在你的右边
经 节：我将耶和华常摆在我面前，因祂在我右边，我便不致摇动。（诗篇十六篇8节）
将主“常摆在你的面前”是什么意思？这句话是指，你愿意以自己对神的信心，来看周遭发生的每一件事。你全心所注意的人事物，成为支配你生活的动力。你可能是基督徒，然而如果你总是专注于自己的问题，你的问题会决定你人生的方向。如果你的专注点是人，那么人们会决定你的思想与作为。在圣经时代，右手是最重要的席位，通常是保留给参谋长和主要的拥护者。当你选择专注于基督，你就是邀请祂在你生活占有最重要的席位，成为你的策士和保卫者。
每当面对一个新的经验，你应当转向祂，向祂咨询见解及支取力量。当人们侮辱你或错待你，你应该向你的策士征询何为合宜的反应。当你面对危机，应当向你右手的那一位支取力量。当你有所需求，应当在自己付出行动时，询问策士的意见。当你面对可怕的处境，应该向你右手边的保卫者支取勇气。你做的所有事情，都落入你与基督关系的范畴之内。
神的恩典实在令人难以置信，基督就站在你的身旁指引你、劝导你、并且保护你！基督就在你的右手边，你怎能因为环境而变得忧心沮丧？祂就在你的右手边，会带给你何等的信心！
He Is at Your Right Hand
I have set the LORD always before me; Because He is
at my right hand I shall not be moved. (Psalm 16:8)
What does it mean to set the Lord always before
you? It means that you choose to relate everything you encounter to your trust
in God. What you choose to focus on becomes the dominant influence in your
life. You may be a Christian, but if your focus is always on your problems,
your problems will determine the direction of your life. If your focus is on
people, then people will determine what you think and do. In biblical times,
the right hand was the most distinguished position, reserved for one’s chief
adviser and supporter. When you choose to focus on Christ, you invite Him to
take the most important position in your life as Counselor and Defender.
Every time you face a new experience, you should
turn to Christ for His interpretation and strength. When people insult you and
mistreat you, you should seek direction from your Counselor regarding the right
response. When you face a crisis, you should receive strength from the One at
your right hand. When you experience need, you should consult your Counselor
before you react. When you face a fearful situation, you should take courage
from the Advocate at your right hand. Everything you do is in the context of
your relationship to Christ.
What an incredible act of God’s grace that Christ
should stand beside you to guide you and counsel you and defend you! How could
you ever become dismayed over your situation with Christ at your right hand?
What confidence this should give you!
