以诺与神同行。（创五24）
一个人属灵生命与个性的考验，不是在特殊情况下的表现，乃在平凡无奇的时日中所行所作。人的价值视乎他在隐藏时对普通事物所抱的态度（比较约一36）。要达致与神同步的境地，是一件痛苦的事，那是属灵上“第二阵风”的经历。学习与神同行，总有跟不上他步伐的困难；但一旦跟上了，所表现的唯一特质，就是神的生命。个人的生命在与神结合中隐藏了，所表现的只有神的步伐与能力。
与神步伐一致是不容易的，因为一开始与神同行，就会发现我们才走了三步，他已在老远了。他有他作事的方法，我们必须学习并接受操练，才能以他的方法作事。耶稣“不灰心，也不丧胆”，因为他从不以他个人的观点去行事，乃是以他父的观点，我们也要如此。属灵真理是在熏陶下学习的，而不是靠头脑的推理。神的灵改变我们看事物的态度，于是从来不可能的事，也变得可能了。与神同行，就是与神联合。要做到这个，需时甚久，但要持之以恒。不要因现在的痛苦而放弃，不久，你会得着新的异象与目标。
祈祷◆主啊，如此众多的活动，如此众多的事情，如此众多的人！愿你因你的荣耀，以宽大的心胸和美善的属性来赐福今天。
October 12 Getting Into God's Stride
“Enoch walked with God.” Genesis 5:24
The test of a man's religious life and character is not what he does in the exceptional moments of life, but what he does in the ordinary times, when there is nothing tremendous or exciting on. The worth of a man is revealed in his attitude to ordinary things when he is not before the footlights (cf. John 1:36). It is a painful business to get through into the stride of God, it means getting your second wind spiritually. In learning to walk with God there is always the difficulty of getting into His stride; but when we have got into it, the only characteristic that manifests itself is the life of God. The individual man is lost sight of in his personal union with God, and the stride and the power of God alone are manifested.
It is difficult to get into stride with God, because when we start walking with Him we find He has outstripped us before we have taken three steps. He has different ways of doing things, and we have to be trained and disciplined into His ways. It was said of Jesus – “He shall not fail nor be discouraged,” because He never worked from His own individual standpoint but always from the standpoint of His Father, and we have to learn to do the same. Spiritual truth is learned by atmosphere, not by intellectual reasoning. God's Spirit alters the atmosphere of our way of looking at things, and things begin to be possible which never were possible before. Getting into the stride of God means nothing less than union with Himself. It takes a long time to get there, but keep at it. Don't give in because the pain is bad just now, get on with it, and before long you will find you have a new vision and a new purpose.
