我们这个月的主题是透过尊崇和顺服神来分辨祂的旨意。在今天的经文中，保罗告诫我们不要自欺。我们不应该把自己想像得比实际上更好，应该切实担当彼此的重担。

这意味着我们要互相关爱，对人行善，不要因自己在任何方面的能力或健康而自觉骄傲。如果我们健康有力量，而且我们有能力帮助别人，我们需要认识到，是神给了我们这一切——好使我们藉着行善来荣耀祂。如果我们开始有骄傲的念头，认为是自己赢得了这一切，我们就危险了——因为神是轻慢不得的。

我们再一次接受提醒，留意我们在生活中所走的道路。我们种的是什么，收的也是什么，所以我们要种下美好而真实的事物。保罗描述了两种生活方式——要么取悦自己的罪性，收获的是毁灭，要么取悦神的灵，收获的是永生。

在基督里，神已经提供了通向永生的道路。我们因着在基督里获得的整全的生命，可以努力向所有人行善。我们可以把握时机，透过行善来爱我们的邻舍。机会很多，我们应该不断留心行善。

Our theme this month has been about discerning God's will as we seek to honor and obey him. In our text for today Paul warns us not to deceive ourselves. We should not think more of ourselves than we ought, and we should be faithful in carrying each other's burdens.

This means caring for one another and doing good to all people, not taking pride in our own position of strength or health in any area. If we have health and strength and we are in a position to help someone, we need to realize that God is the one who has given us that position—so that we may honor him in doing good. If we begin thinking that we have earned that position for ourselves, we are in danger—because God will not be mocked.

Again we are challenged to beware of the path we take in life. We will reap what we sow, so we should sow what is good and true. Paul describes two ways of living. Either we will seek to please our own sinful nature and reap destruction, or we will seek to please the Spirit of God.

In Christ, God has provided the way to eternal life. And because we are given full life in Christ, we can strive to do good to all people. We can love our neighbors by doing good as we have opportunities. And opportunities abound, so we can do good all of the time.
