“在你所行的一切事上，都要认定他！”（箴3:6）
我们必须保持亲近上主、跟随他，并确定我们是在他的旨意之中。除非我们确定是上帝的旨意，否则我们就不能做那些看来像是好的、合理的、以及符合常识的事！如果我们依靠自己的聪明、忘记了感谢上主、或忘记了聆听那每时每刻都在带领和指引我们的圣灵之声的话，我们就必将堕入魔鬼的陷阱，那是很危险的！我们无法使自己不受任何事物的侵害，但我们却能保持亲近上主，所以他就会使我们时时保持警惕！
依赖血肉上的能力和按常理来思考问题是很危险的！（耶17:5）没有耶稣，我们就一无所是！耶稣说：“离了我，你们就不能做什么！”（约15:5）就不能做任何好事！因此，上主，请帮助我们常常留在您的灵里，使我们对您的声音十分敏感，使我们能够听到它，能够知道您的旨意，能够听到您的圣言，使我们能够跟随您和服从您。
“你必听见后边有声音说：‘这是正路！要行在其间。’”（赛30:21）上主，请帮助我们留心您的声音，即使它看来似乎是不合理的，即使我们疑惑我们为什么不如往常一样地做事。上主，如果我们得到了任何启示的话，请您帮助我们去留心它，使我们明白：您知道这是为什么！

Let Jesus lead
To be successful for the Lord, we have to stay close to Him and make sure we’re in His will. There’s a sure and simple formula for that: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths” (Proverbs 3:5–6).
We can’t even do things that seem good
and reasonable unless we’re sure they’re what the Lord wants. If we’re leaning to our own understanding and forgetting to acknowledge Him, if we’re not listening to the voice of His Spirit and letting Him lead and guide us every moment, then we’re
apt to get sidetracked or step into one of the Devil’s traps. We can’t guard ourselves from everything, but we can stay so close to Jesus that we are always in the charmed circle of His blessing and protection. “Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, ‘This is the way, walk in it,’ whenever you turn to the right hand or whenever you turn to the left” (Isaiah 30:21).
(Prayer:) Thank You, Jesus, for being our ever-present companion and coworker—the best help that we could ever ask for! Help us to do our part, to be sensitive to Your voice and to follow it. Then we can act in full faith and You’ll be able to bless and use us to the full. Amen.
