每日箴言

独自一人

“圣灵就把耶稣催到旷野里去。” – 可 1:12

灵修

我的性格有点内向，所以朋友们都知道我喜欢独处，但请你不要误会——我也喜欢和别人一起共处的，然而，独自一人往往能够帮助我充电。我到教会的车程是二十五分钟，这二十五分钟是我一天中重要的时段，在途中我独自一人为当天的工作做好准备，而在回家的路上，我又准备好作父亲和丈夫的角色。

耶稣时常都是独自一人的。在开始传道之前，他独自一人在旷野四十天，受撒旦的试探。这段期间，祂在做什么呢？祂一定用了很多时间来祷告、禁食，好接受祂的父加添祂传道事工的力量；对耶稣预备完成祂降世的使命来说，这段时间是非常重要的。

同样，我们也需要有独自与神相交的时间。当我们独自与神相交、与祂倾谈，并且在祂的话语中聆听祂的指引，神就在预备我们去完成我们在世上的使命了。在我们寻求神的引领和智慧的时候，我们的信心也得到造就。可是，在忙碌的生活中，我们省略的第一件事往往就是与神相交，我们总是先处理预定的计划，与神一起的时间就这样错过了。我们原本希望多用时间与神相交的，可是我们却找不到时间这样做。

今天有一项给你的挑战：拨出时间来独自一人与祂相交，而主正预备你去完成你的人生使命。

祷告

父啊，求祢帮助我们，今天拨出时间单独与祢相交；求祢预备我们去完成祢给我们的使命，又用出人意外的方法来塑造我们的信仰。奉耶稣名祈求，阿们。

普世佳音每日箴言

Alone

The Spirit sent Jesus out into the wilderness. . . . — Mark 1:12

Devotion

I’m kind of an introvert by nature, so my friends know that I like to spend time alone. Don’t get me wrong—I like spending time with people too. But there is something about being alone that energizes me. My drive to church is about 25 minutes, and that’s an important part of my day. Along the way I can spend time alone preparing for my workday ahead, and on the way home I can spend time preparing to be a dad and husband.

Jesus often spent time alone. At the very start of his ministry, he spent 40 days alone in the wilderness, being tempted by Satan. What did he do in all that time? He no doubt spent a lot of it praying, fasting, and being energized for his mission by his Father in heaven. This was a vitally important time for Jesus’ preparation to do the work he had come to do.

Likewise, we need time alone with God. When we are alone with God, spending time talking to him and listening for direction through his Word, we are being prepared for our mission here on earth. Our faith is formed as we seek God’s guidance and wisdom. But in the busyness of life often the first thing we skip is time with God. Schedules get in the way, and time passes. We’d like to spend more time with God, but we can’t seem to fit it in.

Here is your challenge for today: find some time to be alone with God as he prepares you for his mission in your life.

Prayer

Father, help us to find time alone with you today. Prepare us for the mission you have for us, and form our faith in amazing ways. In Jesus, Amen.
