經文: 我要謹慎我的言行。（詩篇三十九：1）

犯罪的危險永不遠離你，因此你不能誇耀自己的安全。道路是泥濘的，你將很難找到一條不會濺污衣服的途徑。這是一個腐敗的世界；倘若你希望保持清白，就需要隨時警戒。路上每個轉角都有賊隱藏，他們想要掠奪你的珠寶。你能到達天堂完全歸功於父上帝的大能，祂施行恩典奇蹟。隨時警戒！當人攜帶著汽油時，必會注意切勿走近火源。你也必須防犯不使自己陷入試探之中。甚至你每日的活動都正與利器有關，你必須小心地使用。在這世界上沒有一事物能助長基督徒的信心，反之，每一事物皆試圖要摧毀你的信心。你必須仰望上帝，唯有祂能保守你！你的禱告應該是：「扶持我，使我平安。」以聖潔的注意力來保守你的每一思想、言語和行動。勿讓自己暴露在不必要的危險中。倘若你必須到飛鏣穿梭之地，切記攜帶盾牌，不要冒險前往。一旦魔鬼發現你是無防衛的，必會因勝利的時刻已屆而歡呼。你或許不至於被殺害，但是很可能受傷。因此謹慎你的言行，要殷切地祈禱。十分警醒的人永不失足犯錯。但願聖靈在各方面引導我們，使我們常常討主的喜悅。

Scripture: "I will take heed to my ways."(Psalm 39:1)

Fellow-pilgrim, say not in your heart, "I will go hither and thither, and I shall not sin;" for you are never so out of danger of sinning as to boast of security. The road is very miry, it will be hard to pick your path so as not to soil your garments. This is a world of pitch; you will need to watch often, if in handling it you are to keep your hands clean. There is a robber at every turn of the road to rob you of your jewels; there is a temptation in every mercy; there is a snare in every joy; and if you ever reach heaven, it will be a miracle of divine grace to be ascribed entirely to your Father's power. Be on your guard. When a man carries a bomb-shell in his hand, he should mind that he does not go near a candle; and you too must take care that you enter not into temptation. Even your common actions are edged tools; you must mind how you handle them. There is nothing in this world to foster a Christian's piety, but everything to destroy it. How anxious should you be to look up to God, that he may keep you! Your prayer should be, "Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe." Having prayed, you must also watch; guarding every thought, word, and action, with holy jealousy. Do not expose yourselves unnecessarily; but if called to exposure, if you are bidden to go where the darts are flying, never venture forth without your shield; for if once the devil finds you without your buckler, he will rejoice that his hour of triumph is come, and will soon make you fall down wounded by his arrows. Though slain you cannot be; wounded you may be. "Be sober; be vigilant, danger may be in an hour when all seemeth securest to thee." Therefore, take heed to thy ways, and watch unto prayer. No man ever fell into error through being too watchful. May the Holy Spirit guide us in all our ways, so shall they always please the Lord.
