是是誰 D+ 看世界~*

去留之間總在聖靈的帶領

身為一個事奉者若有好多的想望
但沒有一個想望是屬乎聖靈的帶領
那麼這些想望只不過是一種自我的理想
而非從神而來的意念

因此順服聖靈的帶領
將會是一個事奉者想望決勝的關鍵點

有時候我們有好多的喜歡
如同門徒對耶穌說
就讓我們留在這裡吧
這樣的感覺甚好
因為能讓自己喜悅
但並不會讓聖靈喜悅

有時候我們有好多的夢想
如同今天經文裡他們定意要前往亞細亞庇推尼
但聖靈卻不允許
這樣的感覺甚差
因為自己無法稱心如意
但聖靈卻有更美妙的安排

在去與不去之間
決定在於自己的順服

順服於神呼召的馬其頓是你我一生最好的祝福


使徒行傳

16:5 於是眾教會信心越發堅固，人數天天加增。
And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily.
16:6 聖靈既然禁止他們在亞細亞site講道，他們就經過弗呂家site、加拉太site一帶地方。
Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia,
16:7 到了每西亞site的邊界，他們想要往庇推尼site去，耶穌的靈卻不許。

16:8 他們就越過每西亞site，下到特羅亞site去。
And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas.
16:9 在夜間有異象現與保羅photo。有一個馬其頓site人站著求他說：「請你過到馬其頓site來幫助我們。」
And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.
16:10 保羅既看見這異象，我們隨即想要往馬其頓site去，以為　神召我們傳福音給那裡的人聽。
And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them.
16:11 於是從特羅亞site開船，一直行到撒摩特喇site，第二天到了尼亞坡里photosite。

16:13 當安息日，我們出城門，到了河邊，知道那裡有一個禱告的地方，我們就坐下對那聚會的婦女講道。

16:14 有一個賣紫色布疋的婦人，名叫呂底亞photo，是推雅推喇site城的人，素來敬拜　神。她聽見了，主就開導她的心，叫她留心聽保羅photo所講的話。
And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us : whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul.
16:15 她和她一家既領了洗，便求我們說：「你們若以為我是真信主的（或譯：你們若以為我是忠心事主的），請到我家裡來住」；於是強留我們。
And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us , saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there . And she constrained us.
