標 題:這就是你的智慧

經 節:所以你們要謹守遵行;這就是你們在萬民眼前的智慧、聰明。他們聽見這一切律例,必說:「這大國的人真是有智慧,有聰明!」(申命記四章6節)

智慧不是你對世界認識的多寡,而是你對神的認識有多少。人類的理性不能使你有智慧,它反而可能使你拒絕神的法則(哥林多前書一:1825)。神的目的是要設立一個屬祂的國度,好藉著祂百姓的順服,展現出祂的智慧(撒迦利亞書八:23)。當以色列的百姓跟隨神,祂就祝福他們。所以,順服神的智慧就是真智慧。

神也給予你同樣的機會,讓你的生命創建在祂智慧的基礎上。當非信徒作重要決定時,他們一定得倚靠自己的知識與判斷力。而身為基督徒的你可以使用神的智慧。神的靈在你心中指引你(約翰福音十六:13)。聖靈會打開你的眼睛看到聖經的真理,好叫你能以神的觀點來透視問題。只有神能夠預知將來,所以也只有祂能領你今日作正確的決定。

當你允許神指引你的一生,你周圍的人會看到真智慧,不是世界的智慧,乃是神的智慧。其他人生活在這複雜的世界,困惑不知該如何行,但是神會指引你作正確且可靠的決定。由於你作了正確的決定,你的家人會蒙福,你的朋友們也有了智慧的顧問。你順服的生活會表露出容許聖靈作你指引的智慧。


This Is Your Wisdom

Therefore be careful to observe them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples who will hear all these statutes, and say, “Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.” (Deuteronomy 4:6)

Wisdom is not what you know about the world but how well you know God. Human reasoning will not make you wise. It may even lead you to reject the ways of God (1 Cor. 1:18–25). God’s purpose in creating a nation for Himself was to demonstrate His wisdom to the world through the obedience of His people (Zech. 8:23). As the Israelites followed God, He would bless them, and the wisdom of obeying God would be evident to all.

God gives you the same opportunity to base your life on His wisdom. When unbelievers make important decisions, they must rely on their own knowledge and understanding. You, as a Christian, have access to God’s wisdom. God’s Spirit is within you to guide you (John 16:13). The Holy Spirit will open your eyes to the truth of the Scriptures so that you can see things from God’s perspective. Only God sees the future, so only He can accurately lead you to make correct decisions today.

As you allow God to direct your life, those around you will see true wisdom, wisdom not of the world but of God. Others will be confused about what to do in our complicated world, but God will guide you safely to the correct choices for you. Your family will be blessed because you make wise decisions. Your friends will have a wise counselor to come to for help. Your obedient life will demonstrate the wisdom of allowing the Holy Spirit to be your Guide.
