經文: 「所以自己以為站得穩的，須要謹慎，免得跌倒。」（哥林多前書十：12）

奔走天路有件事要特別小心，就是莫因自己的屬靈光景好而沾沾自喜。有人說：「我有極大的信心，所以我不會跌倒。」有人說：「我有燃燒的愛在心中，所以我不致跌倒。」也有人說：「我忠心跟隨主，絕不可能偏行己路。」唉！這些人以為己身有足夠的恩典，可以潔身自愛，出污泥而不染。其實不然，我們自己有何值得可誇？若沒有上帝源源不絕供應我們油料，說不定我們今天還亮著的油燈，明天就燈殘煙熄，不再發光。
因此，要小心，不要自滿自誇，將你的信心放在上帝的信實與能力上。這是保守你不滑跌的唯一方法。多花些時間敬拜主，殷勤地讀經禱告，多多地親近主，常常自我檢討，並以聖徒的典範作榜樣。平常談話要聖潔，對別人的關懷要誠懇，謙卑地與公義憐憫的上帝同行。當那日上帝接我們上天堂，但願祂能對我們說：「當跑的路你已經跑盡了，當打的仗你已經打過了，當守的道你已經守住了。孩子，進來吧！這兒有永不褪色的榮耀冠冕，為你存留。」只有祂能保守你不失腳，直到你進入榮耀見主面那日（猶24）。


Morning, March 14

Scripture: "Let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall."(1 Corinthians 10:12)

It is a curious fact, that there is such a thing as being proud of grace. A man says, "I have great faith, I shall not fall; poor little faith may, but I never shall." "I have fervent love," says another, "I can stand, there is no danger of my going astray." He who boasts of grace has little grace to boast of. Some who do this imagine that their graces can keep them, knowing not that the stream must flow constantly from the fountain head, or else the brook will soon be dry. If a continuous stream of oil comes not to the lamp, though it burn brightly to-day, it will smoke to-morrow, and noxious will be its scent. Take heed that thou gloriest not in thy graces, but let all thy glorying and confidence be in Christ and his strength, for only so canst thou be kept from falling. Be much more in prayer. Spend longer time in holy adoration. Read the Scriptures more earnestly and constantly. Watch your lives more carefully. Live nearer to God. Take the best examples for your pattern. Let your conversation be redolent of heaven. Let your hearts be perfumed with affection for men's souls. So live that men may take knowledge of you that you have been with Jesus, and have learned of him; and when that happy day shall come, when he whom you love shall say, "Come up higher," may it be your happiness to hear him say, "Thou hast fought a good fight, thou hast finished thy course, and henceforth there is laid up for thee a crown of righteousness which fadeth not away." On, Christian, with care and caution! On, with holy fear and trembling! On, with faith and confidence in Jesus alone, and let your constant petition be, "Uphold me according to thy word." He is able, and he alone, "To keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy."
