【以弗所书 5:16–17】要爱惜光阴，因为现今的世代邪恶。不要作糊涂人，要明白主的旨意如何。【Eph 5:16-17】making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.

主耶稣在世上时，警醒门徒说：“趁着白日，我们必须作那差我来者的工；黑夜将到，就没有人能作工了。”（约 9:4）又说：“白日不是有十二个小时吗？”（约 11:9）When Jesus was on earth, He warned His disciples: “As long as it is day, we must do the works of Him who sent Me. Night is coming, when no one can work” (John 9:4). He also said, “Are there not twelve hours of daylight?” (John 11:9). 祂深知父所赐的时间有限，因此在三年多的服事中，殷勤奔走，昼夜不息地完成神的托付。主用祂的生命为我们树立了“爱惜光阴”的榜样。Jesus knew that the time the Father gave Him was limited, so in His three and a half years of ministry, He worked tirelessly, day and night, to finish the work God entrusted to Him. The Lord showed us through His life what it means to “make the most of the time.”

如今的世代邪恶，撒旦用各种计谋迷惑信徒，使人把宝贵的时间浪费在无益的事上—沉迷眼目的情欲、肉体的情欲和今生的骄傲，却忽略了尽心、尽性、尽意、尽力寻求神的旨意。Today’s world is evil. Satan uses countless schemes to distract and deceive believers, wasting our precious time on meaningless things—being caught up in the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life—while neglecting to seek God’s will with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength.许多人在世上积攒财富，却没有在天上积存财宝；追求地上的成功，却失去了得基督的宝贵生命。Many store up wealth on earth but forget to store up treasures in heaven. They chase after worldly success but lose the priceless treasure of knowing Christ.

主啊，感谢你为我们树立榜样，使我明白时间与精力都是有限的，时光一去不复返。求你让我不至于在终了时后悔，而是每天警醒、爱惜光阴，把握机会为你而活。Lord, thank You for setting the example for us, teaching me that both time and energy are limited—and once gone, they can never be recovered. Don’t let me reach the end and live in regret. Help me to stay alert, to make the best use of my time, and to seize every opportunity to live for You.

主啊，你说：“将事隐藏，是神的荣耀；将事查明，乃是君王的光荣。”（箴 25:2）Lord, You said, “It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the glory of kings to search it out” (Proverbs 25:2). 感谢你常常将事隐秘，不是要我困惑，而是邀请我进入与你亲密的寻求。你应许说：寻求的就寻见，谦卑的必蒙指引；“耶和华与敬畏祂的人亲密，必将自己的约指示他们。”（诗 25:14）Thank You for hiding things—not to confuse me, but to invite me into deeper closeness with You. You’ve promised that those who seek will find, and that “the Lord confides in those who fear Him; He makes His covenant known to them” (Psalm 25:14). 明白你的旨意，不是出于好奇，而是出于爱你、愿遵行你旨意的心。主耶稣在地上凡事顺服，不求自己的意思，只求父的旨意成就—这是爱父、荣耀父的、儿子的心。Understanding Your will doesn’t come from curiosity, but from love—a desire to obey You. When Jesus was on earth, He obeyed in all things, never seeking His own way but only that the Father’s will would be done. That’s the heart of a Son who loves and honours His Father.

主啊，赦免我常常懒惰，没有殷勤祷告，也没有尽心寻求你的旨意，错过许多你训练我、塑造我的机会。Lord, forgive me for being lazy, for not praying earnestly or seeking Your will diligently, and for missing the many moments You intended to shape and train me. 其实，你一直在等我—等我来寻求你，等我领受你为爱你的人所预备的赏赐。（来 11:6）You’ve always been waiting—waiting for me to seek You and to receive the reward You’ve promised to those who love You (Hebrews 11:6). 主啊，让我真知道：你的旨意虽隐藏，却不是为叫我迷茫的，而是邀请我享受：寻求你、认定你、摸着你的心，而得着的无比满足和喜乐，在顺服和忍耐中得着真盼望。训练我成为有王性情的忠心仆人。Help me truly understand that Your will may be hidden, but never to leave me lost. It’s an invitation to enjoy the joy of seeking You, knowing You, touching Your heart, and finding deep satisfaction in obeying You. In patience and obedience, may I find real hope. Train me to be a faithful servant with the heart of a king.

主啊，感谢你，已将智慧和启示的灵赏给了我我们，你的旨意就是要我们效法基督作智慧人，住在你里面，殷勤求问，思想，在一切属灵的智慧和悟性上，满心知道你的旨意，不再浑浑噩噩的作糊涂人。Lord, thank You for giving us the Spirit of wisdom and revelation. Your will is that we become wise like Christ—living in You, asking, reflecting, and growing in spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that we fully know Your will and no longer live aimlessly or foolishly. 好叫我凡事讨你喜悦，结出美好的果子。 像你忠心仆人大卫王那样：‘有一件事，我曾求耶和华，我仍要寻求：就是一生一世住在耶和华的殿中，瞻仰祂的荣美，在祂的殿里求问。’(诗27:4) May I please You in everything, bearing good fruit—like Your faithful servant King David, who said: “One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek Him in His temple” (Psalm 27:4). 凡事合你心意，行完了你的旨意，最终得着你所应许的赏赐。（来 10:36）May I live according to Your heart, finish Your will, and in the end receive the reward You’ve promised (Hebrews 10:36).
