今日经文｜撒迦利亚书 3:7
“万军之耶和华如此说：你若遵行我的道，谨守我的命令，你就可以管理我的家，看守我的院宇；我也要使你在这些站立的人中间来往。”
灵修
这节经文最耐人寻味的是最后一句：“我也要使你在这些站立的人中间来往。”“这些站立的人”在异象中指侍立在神面前的天上侍从。大祭司约书亚起初穿着污秽的衣服站在那里，撒但在旁控告他。如今，神除去他的罪孽，为他换上洁净的衣服，并应许让他在那些侍立者中间来往。同一个地方，起初是他受控告的地方，如今成了他蒙准亲近神的地方。
神的话也有一个清楚的次序。祂先除去约书亚的罪孽，然后才说：“你若遵行我的道，谨守我的命令……”赦免已经赐下，接下来的托付却有明确的要求。约书亚要管理神的家，就要照主人的心意照管。他自己怎样听从神，也会影响他怎样带领百姓敬拜神。
我们为人祷告、带领小组，或照顾神交在手中的人时，很容易先想事情要怎么安排。这节经文把我们带回一个更根本的问题：在替别人想该怎么做以前，我自己有没有先听神的话？ 有时，神要我做的第一步，是去听一个被我忽略的人，或承认一件我一直回避的事。
今日默想
在神托付给我的人和事上，有哪一件事，我已经知道祂的心意，却还没有照着去做？
祷告
主啊，感谢祢赦免我，也让我可以来到祢面前。求祢让我在服事中常常停下来听祢的话，照祢的心意善待祢托付给我的人，忠心做好手中的事。阿们。
Standing Before God, Faithful in What He Entrusts to Us
November 6, 2026 | Friday
Today’s Scripture | Zechariah 3:7
“This is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘If you walk in my ways and keep my commands, you will govern my house and have charge of my courts, and I will give you access among those standing here.’”
Devotional
The final words of this verse invite us to pause. “I will give you access among those standing here.” In the vision, “those standing here” are the heavenly attendants who serve in God’s presence. At first, Joshua the high priest stood there in filthy clothes while Satan accused him. Now God takes away his sin, clothes him in clean garments, and promises him access among those attendants. The very place where Joshua once stood accused is now the place where he is welcomed into God’s presence.
There is a clear order to what God says. He first takes away Joshua’s sin and then says, “If you walk in my ways and keep my commands…” Joshua has already received forgiveness, and God makes clear what is expected of him in the work that follows. As he cares for God’s house, he is to do so according to God’s will. The way Joshua listens to and obeys God will also shape how he leads the people in worship.
When we pray for others, lead a small group, or care for people God has entrusted to us, it is easy to start by thinking about what needs to be done. This verse brings us back to a more basic question. Before I think about what others should do, have I taken time to listen to what God is saying to me? Sometimes the first step God asks me to take is to listen to someone I have overlooked or to acknowledge something I have been avoiding.
Today’s Reflection
As I think about the people and responsibilities God has entrusted to me, where do I already know what he wants me to do and still need to act on it?
Prayer
Lord, thank you for forgiving me and welcoming me into your presence. Help me pause often as I serve so I can listen to you. Teach me to care for the people you have entrusted to me in a way that pleases you and to be faithful in the work you have given me. Amen.
