3月31日竭诚为主

3月31日你是專一還是假冒？

人若看見弟兄犯了不至於死的罪，就當為他祈求，神必將生命賜給他。（約壹五16）

我們若不留意神的靈如何在我們裡面工作，就會變成屬靈的偽君子。我們看見別人的失敗，就把它當作笑柄，肆意批評，並不為他們代求。我們所看見的，原不是出於自己機敏的腦筋，乃是神的靈直接啟示我們。因此，我們若不留意那啟示的來源，就會變成評論專家，忘記了神所說的——“不至於死的罪，就當為他祈求，神必將生命賜給他”。當心不要扮演偽君子；自己未敬拜神，就花盡時間去糾正別人。

神將一個最奇妙的擔子放在聖徒身上，就是為他人守望。神向我們啟示一些事情，為叫我們把這些人的擔子帶到他面前。然後，我們有了基督憐憫的心腸，就為他們代求。我們若這樣行，神說會“將生命賜給他”。我們並不是叫神遷就我們，按自己的心意去事奉，乃是激勵自己，直至神把他對我們所代求的人的心意傳遞給我們。

主耶穌在我們身上能否看見他勞苦的功效，就在乎我們是否與他合一，使自己有神的看法，以同樣的眼光看代求的人。這樣，主才能心滿意足。願我們學習全心全意的代求，以致主對我們這些代求者，能心滿意足。

祈禱◆噢，主神啊，我開始模糊地識別到你對我的意義——超過清晨的亮光、超過喜樂和健康、超過你一切的福氣。求你今天早上重新蒞臨到我身上，並且透過你的光，使我整天都散發光輝。

March 31 Heedfulness V. Hypocrisy In Ourselves

“If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and He shall give him Life for them that sin not unto death.” 1 John 5:16

If we are not heedful of the way the Spirit of God works in us, we will become spiritual hypocrites. We see where other folks are failing, and we turn our discernment into the gibe of criticism instead of into intercession on their behalf. The revelation is made to us not through the acuteness of our minds, but by the direct penetration of the Spirit of God, and if we are not heedful of the source of the revelation, we will become criticizing centres and forget that God says – “. . . he shall ask, and He shall give him life for them that sin not unto death.” Take care lest you play the hypocrite by spending all your time trying to get others right before you worship God yourself.

One of the subtlest burdens God ever puts on us as saints is this burden of discernment concerning other souls. He reveals things in order that we may take the burden of these souls before Him and form the mind of Christ about them, and as we intercede on His line, God says He will give us “life for them that sin not unto death.” It is not that we bring God into touch with our minds, but that we rouse ourselves until God is able to convey His mind to us about the one for whom we intercede.

Is Jesus Christ seeing of the travail of His soul in us? He cannot unless we are so identified with Himself that we are roused up to get His view about the people for whom we pray. May we learn to intercede so whole-heartedly that Jesus Christ will be abundantly satisfied with us as intercessors.
