標　　題： 眼能見，耳能聽

經　　節： 但你們的眼睛是有福的，因為看見了；你們的耳朵也是有福的，因為聽見了。（馬太福音十三章16節）

當你成為基督徒的那一刻，神賜給你屬靈的眼睛和耳朵，好叫你開始經歷祂的同在與祂的作為。當你與祂同行，聖靈會幫助你使用這些屬靈的感官。在靈裡面對神的敏銳是恩賜，需要我們願意接受，並且操練它。聖經上告訴我們，靈性死亡的人無法看見及瞭解屬靈的事物（馬太福音十三：14∼15）。如果沒有屬靈的眼睛，你可能會處於祂大能作為之中，卻毫無所覺。

在根本上，以人類的眼光來看所處的環境，與以屬靈的眼光來透視生命，兩者是截然不同的。非基督徒困惑不解世事的發生。但是身為基督徒的你，看見了同一件事，會認出神的作為，並調整自己的生活，好配合神的心意。當你遇見一位尋求上帝的人，你會認出聖靈的作為是此人信服神的存在，於是調整自己的生活配合神的工作（羅馬書三：11）。一些沒有屬靈知覺的人同樣遇見此人，卻不能理解其人生遭遇的永恆重要性。其他人會受新的哲學思想與社會潮流走向所影響，不能分辨真理。然而在世界嘈雜聲中，你仍能聽到神的聲音，且在這令人困惑的環境中，繼續向著標竿直跑。

罪會使你感受遲鈍，最後會讓你成為屬靈的瞎子和聾子。不要只滿足於有肉眼能看、有耳朵能聽，但對神的作為卻毫無所感。禱告求神藉著聖靈大能，使你能敏銳地感受神的作為。

Eyes That See, Ears That Hear

"But blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear." (Matthew 13:16)

When you became a Christian, God gave you spiritual sight and hearing so you could begin experiencing His presence and activity all around you. The Holy Spirit helps you to develop these spiritual senses as you walk with Him. Spiritual sensitivity to God is a gift that must be accepted and exercised. Scripture indicates that those who are spiritually dead cannot see or understand spiritual things (Matt. 13:14–15). Without spiritual eyes, you can be right in the midst of a mighty act of God and not recognize it.

There is a radical difference between seeing your surroundings from a human perspective and seeing life through spiritual eyes. Non-Christians will see world events around them and become confused. You will look at the same events, recognize the activity of God, and adjust your life to Him. When you meet a person who is seeking God, you will recognize the convicting work of the Holy Spirit and adjust your life to God’s activity (Rom. 3:11). Someone without spiritual perception will encounter that same person and not grasp the eternal significance of what is happening in that person’s life. Others will hear of new philosophies and trends in society and not know how to discern the truth. You will hear God’s voice over the din of the world’s voices, and you will keep your bearings in the midst of the confusing circumstances.

Sin dulls your senses, ultimately leaving you spiritually blind and deaf. Do not be content with merely seeing with physical eyes and hearing with natural ears but not sensing what God is doing. Ask God, through the power of the Holy Spirit, to sensitize you to His activity all around you.
