我们许多人都有过这样的时刻，当我们回顾过去的决定时，会想：“我怎么会觉得那是个好主意？”然而在当时，那个决定或选择可能在我们看来是正确的。
怪不得人们说“事后诸葛亮”。这意味着你往往可以在事情过去之后，有时间从你所做的一些选择中学习，从而将情况看得更清楚（正如诸葛亮的视角）。我们自己在当下看清楚的能力是有限的。而当下看似正确的决定或正确的思维，有时会弊大于利。
耶稣警告祂的门徒，跟随祂并不容易，有时甚至看起来不是个好主意。祂谈到了做祂门徒的代价，但祂也应许说，祂的道路是通向生命的。祂说：“你们要进窄门。因为引到灭亡，那门是宽的，路是大的，进去的人也多； 引到永生，那门是窄的，路是小的，找着的人也少。”（太 7:13-14）
换句话说，可能有许多看起来正确的方式（甚至是宗教式的），似乎比耶稣的道路更有吸引力，但它们最终会带来痛苦和毁灭。
在你的生活中，是否有一条路可能会带你远离耶稣？你能为此做些什么呢？
主和救主，藉着你圣灵的大能，求你赐给我辨别力和智慧，使我找到忠心跟随你的道路。阿们。
箴言 14:11-12
11奸恶人的房屋必倾倒，正直人的帐篷必兴盛。
12有一条路人以为正，至终成为死亡之路。
"There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death." - Proverbs 14:12
Many of us have had moments when we have looked back on a past decision and wondered, "How did I ever think that was a good idea?" Yet at the time, that decision or choice probably seemed right to us.
There's a reason why people say, "Hindsight is 20/20." This means you can often see a situation more clearly (as with 20/20 vision) after it has passed and you have had time to learn from some of the choices you have made. Our own ability to see clearly in the present moment is limited. And what appears to be a right decision or right thinking in the moment can sometimes do more harm than good.
Jesus warned his disciples that following him would not be easy or even look like a good idea at times. He spoke about the costs of being his disciple, but he also promised that his way leads to life. He said, "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it" (Matthew 7:13-14).
In other words, there can be many ways that appear to be right (even religiously) and seem more attractive than the way of Jesus, but they will bring misery and destruction in the end.
Is there a road in your life that might be taking you away from Jesus? What can you do about that?
Lord and Savior, by the power of your Spirit, give me discernment and wisdom to know the way to follow you faithfully. Amen.
