标 题:这就是你的智慧

经 节:所以你们要谨守遵行;这就是你们在万民眼前的智慧、聪明。他们听见这一切律例,必说:“这大国的人真是有智慧,有聪明!”(申命记四章6节)

智慧不是你对世界认识的多寡,而是你对神的认识有多少。人类的理性不能使你有智慧,它反而可能使你拒绝神的法则(哥林多前书一:1825)。神的目的是要设立一个属祂的国度,好借着祂百姓的顺服,展现出祂的智慧(撒迦利亚书八:23)。当以色列的百姓跟随神,祂就祝福他们。所以,顺服神的智慧就是真智慧。

神也给予你同样的机会,让你的生命创建在祂智慧的基础上。当非信徒作重要决定时,他们一定得倚靠自己的知识与判断力。而身为基督徒的你可以使用神的智慧。神的灵在你心中指引你(约翰福音十六:13)。圣灵会打开你的眼睛看到圣经的真理,好叫你能以神的观点来透视问题。只有神能够预知将来,所以也只有祂能领你今日作正确的决定。

当你允许神指引你的一生,你周围的人会看到真智慧,不是世界的智慧,乃是神的智慧。其他人生活在这复杂的世界,困惑不知该如何行,但是神会指引你作正确且可靠的决定。由于你作了正确的决定,你的家人会蒙福,你的朋友们也有了智慧的顾问。你顺服的生活会表露出容许圣灵作你指引的智慧。


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.
