今日经文｜约翰福音11:11
“耶稣说了这话，随后对他们说：‘我们的朋友拉撒路睡了，我去叫醒他。’”
灵修
门徒听见耶稣说拉撒路“睡了”，便以为他只是身体睡着，休息后就会好起来。但耶稣所指的是他的死，随后也清楚告诉他们：“拉撒路死了。”
门徒听见了主的话，却还没有明白主的意思。我们也可能如此：用自己的经验理解神的话，以眼前的环境判断祂的作为。因此，我们需要让自己的思想与主对齐，愿意聆听，也愿意让祂调整我们的认识。
对齐，不是忽略现实，也不是强迫自己凡事乐观。耶稣没有否认拉撒路已经死了，祂却知道自己将要使他复活。人的眼光停留在死亡，主却显明祂胜过死亡的权柄。
“我去叫醒他。”在这段经文中，耶稣说的是使拉撒路从死亡中复活。今天，我们也可以借此省察自己的属灵光景：是否在忙碌中渐渐冷淡，在习惯中失去渴慕，虽然听见主的话，却没有回应？
愿我们向主祈求：“主啊，把我叫醒。”求祂唤醒我们沉睡的心，使我们重新渴慕祂的话，让思想受祂引导，让脚步跟随祂，在每天的生活中活出信心与爱。
今日默想
我生命中有哪些地方已经变得冷淡，需要主唤醒？今天，我愿意怎样回应祂的话，使自己与祂对齐？
祷告
主耶稣，求祢帮助我明白祢的话，使我的思想、眼光与脚步都与祢对齐。求祢把我叫醒，使我从属灵的沉睡、冷淡与自满中醒来，重新渴慕祢，留心听祢的声音。当我的认识有限，赐我谦卑受教的心；当环境使我惧怕，帮助我信靠祢，顺服祢的带领。奉主耶稣基督的名祷告，阿们。
Aligning Our Perspective with the Lord
11 November 2026 | Wednesday
Today’s Scripture | John 11:11
“After he had said this, he went on to tell them, ‘Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going there to wake him up.’”
Devotion
When the disciples heard Jesus say that Lazarus had “fallen asleep,” they thought he was simply resting and would recover. But Jesus was referring to his death. He later told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead.”
The disciples heard the Lord’s words, yet they did not understand His meaning. We can be like them, interpreting God’s Word through our own experience and judging His work by what we see around us. We need to align our thoughts with the Lord, listen willingly, and allow Him to reshape our understanding.
Aligning ourselves with Him does not mean ignoring reality or forcing ourselves to be optimistic. Jesus did not deny that Lazarus had died. Yet He knew He was going to raise him to life. While human eyes saw death, the Lord revealed His authority over it.
“I am going there to wake him up.” In this passage, Jesus was speaking about raising Lazarus from the dead. Today, these words can also prompt us to examine our spiritual condition: Have we grown cold amid our busyness? Have familiar routines replaced our hunger for God? Do we hear His Word without responding?
May we pray, “Lord, wake me up.” May He awaken our sleeping hearts, renew our hunger for His Word, guide our thoughts, and lead our steps, so that we live each day with faith and love.
Today’s Reflection
Where have I grown spiritually cold and need the Lord to awaken me? How will I respond to His Word today and bring my life into alignment with Him?
Prayer
Lord Jesus, help me understand Your Word so that my thoughts, perspective, and steps align with You. Wake me up from spiritual slumber, coldness, and complacency. Renew my hunger for You and help me listen attentively to Your voice. When my understanding is limited, give me a humble, teachable heart. When circumstances make me afraid, help me trust You and obey Your leading. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen.
