標　　題：這一點也不難！

經　　節：我今日所吩咐你的誡命不是你難行的，也不是離你遠的。（申命記三十章11節）

活出基督的生命一點也不困難。那位曾經活出完全順服、無罪的基督，今日預備好要藉著你而活（加拉太書二：20）。神的旨意並不難以分辨，祂賜下聖經揭示祂的旨意。祂把祂自己的聖靈放置我們的心中，在人生每一個情況引導我們明白祂完美的旨意（約翰福音十六：13）。我們最大的挑戰是全心全意把自己的生命交托給神，按著神的心意，遵行神的旨意。

摩西在以色列百姓進入應許地之前，聚集他們站在以巴路山和基利心山上。在那裡，神告訴他們要怎麼做才是順服祂。神非常仔細地指示他們，讓他們對祂的指示完全沒有疑問。然後，神要他們作個選擇。如果不順服祂的旨意，他們需要面對祂的懲罰；如果順服祂的旨意，他們會得到祂的祝福。

神這句話一樣是要給現在的你。這句話本身不難瞭解，你不需費盡心機、分辨神有關淫亂、饒恕或誠實的旨意。神的話已經表達得夠清楚了。問題是你如何反應？神在聖經中沒有任何地方是含糊曖昧及錯綜複雜，可以成為你不順服的藉口。人被定罪是因為心裡明知神的心意，卻故意不做！神藉著聖靈，總是給予你足夠的啟示及力量，與祂同走下一步路。如果不確定神要你做甚麼，要先確定你是否竭盡全力順服祂。因著你的順服，祂下一步的指示會變得很清楚。

It’s Not Difficult!

For this commandment which I command you today is not too mysterious for you, nor is it far off. (Deuteronomy 30:1)

The Christian life is not difficult. The same Christ who lived a perfect, obedient, and sinless life stands prepared to live it again through you (Gal. 2:20). God’s will is not hard to discern. He has given us the Scriptures, which reveal His will, and He has placed His Holy Spirit within us to guide us to His perfect will in every situation (John 16:13). Our greatest challenge will be to wholly commit our lives to follow God’s will obediently as He reveals it.

Moses gathered the Israelites around Mount Ebal and Mount Gerizim before they were to enter the Promised Land. There, God described what they had to do in order to obey Him. God gave detailed instructions so there was no mistaking what was expected of them. Then God asked them to make a choice. If they chose to disobey His commands, they would face His wrath. If they chose to obey, they would receive His blessing.

God’s Word comes to you in the same way. It is not too complex to understand. You don’t have to struggle to discern God’s will about adultery or forgiveness or honesty. God’s word is perfectly clear. The question is, how will you respond? Nowhere in Scripture did God excuse disobedience because His instructions were too vague or complex. Condemnation came because they knew exactly what God wanted them to do, yet they chose not to do it! God, through His Holy Spirit, will always give you sufficient revelation and strength to take the next step with Him. If you are uncertain about what God is asking of you, make sure that you are obeying all that you do know, and through your obedience, God’s next instruction will become clear.
