He looks for distraction, for overconfidence, for a heart that has started to relax spiritually.
The Bible tells you plainly in First Peter 5:8, "Be sober minded, be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. "
He is an opportunist.
He looks for open doors, for moments when you are not paying attention, when you are more focused on your own success than on God's presence.
That is why your highest moments can often be your most vulnerable ones.
Another danger of success is the subtle entrance of pride.
When emotions are high and people are applauding, it becomes easy to think I am gifted.
I am special.
This happened because l am so capable.
I, I and I.
Your words may still give glory to God, but your heart can quietly begin to glorify self.
You start giving yourself the credit for what was always a work of grace.
The Bible warns strongly about this in Proverbs 16:8. Better a little with righteousness than much gain with injustice.
Proverbs 16:18, "Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall," which is a biblical proverb warning that arrogance and pride can lead to one's downfall. It emphasizes the importance of humility and the dangers of overestimating oneself.
In this context, pride is not just feeling happy about what God has done.
It is an attitude of independence, an inner posture that says, "I do not really need God as much now."
The proud person starts to follow their own wisdom instead of God's word.
They stop listening.
They stop submitting.
They stop depending.
That is a dangerous place because pride opens the door to many other sins.
Scripture also tells you in James 4:6, "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble."
To be opposed by people is hard.
To be opposed by God himself because of a proud heart is terrifying.
But the verse does not stop there.
It gives hope.
God gives grace to the humble.
The place of safety is not in appearing strong but in admitting weakness and depending fully on Christ.
他会寻找分心的机会，寻找过度自信的机会，寻找一颗在灵性上开始放松的心。
圣经在彼得前书5章8节中明确地告诉你：“务要谨守、警醒。因为你们的仇敌魔鬼，如同吼叫的狮子，遍地游行，寻找可吞吃的人。”
他是个机会主义者。
他会寻找机会，寻找你注意力不集中的时刻，寻找你更关注自身成功而非上帝同在的时刻。
这就是为什么你最辉煌的时刻往往也是你最脆弱的时刻。
成功带来的另一个危险是骄傲的悄然滋生。
当情绪高涨，人们为你鼓掌时，你很容易会想：我天赋异禀。
我很特别。
这一切的发生都是因为我能力超群。
我，我，还有我。
你的言语或许仍能荣耀神，但你的内心却可能悄然开始荣耀自己。
你开始将原本是神恩典的功劳归于自己。
圣经箴言16:8对此发出严厉警告：“少而公义，胜过多而奸诈。”
箴言16:18说：“骄傲在败坏以先，狂心在跌倒之前。”这句圣经箴言警告人们，傲慢和骄傲会导致人的堕落。它强调了谦卑的重要性以及高估自己的危险。
在此语境下，骄傲不仅仅是为神的作为而感到高兴。
它是一种独立的态度，一种内在的姿态，仿佛在说：“我现在不再那么需要神了。”
骄傲的人开始遵循自己的智慧，而不是神的话语。
他们不再聆听。
他们不再顺服。
他们不再依靠。
这是一个危险的境地，因为骄傲会打开通往其他罪恶的大门。
圣经雅各书4章6节也告诉我们：“神阻挡骄傲的人，赐恩给谦卑的人。”
被人反对是痛苦的。
因骄傲的心而被神反对是可怕的。
但这节经文并没有就此结束。
它带来了希望。
神赐恩给谦卑的人。
真正的安全不在于表现得坚强，而在于承认自己的软弱，并完全依靠基督。
So what should you do when God lifts you up?
When life is going well, when you are on top, stay watchful, stay prayerful, stay small in your own eyes.
Celebrate, but do not forget the One who brought you there.
Keep saying in your heart, "Lord, apart from you, I can do nothing. Every good thing in my life is from you."
The Apostle Paul understood this deeply.
In 2 Corinthians 12:9, the Bible says, "But he said to me, my grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."
God is not asking you to pretend you have no gifts or to deny what he has done through you.
He is inviting you to remember that the power behind everything is his grace, not your strength.
那么，当上帝高举你时，你该怎么做呢？
当生活顺遂，当你身居高位时，要保持警醒，保持祷告，保持谦卑。
庆祝固然重要，但不要忘记那位将你带到这一切的上帝。
要不断地在心中默念：“主啊，离了你，我什么都做不了。我生命中一切美好的事物都来自你。”
使徒保罗对此深有体会。
《哥林多后书》12章9节写道：“他对我说：‘我的恩典够你用的，因为我的能力是在人的软弱上显得完全。’”
上帝并非要你假装自己没有恩赐，或否认他通过你所成就的一切。
他邀请你记住，一切背后的力量都源于他的恩典，而非你的力量。
You are weak in yourself but strong in Christ.
So let this be your heart posture.
Never trust in your own standing.
Always trust in Jesus.
Do not measure your security by how high you have climbed but by how close you are to him.
Stay in the place of dependence, the place of prayer, the place of humility.
Always keep your eyes on Jesus Christ.
Do not think of yourself as standing strong on your own.
See yourself as someone who is weak in human strength, but held, strengthened, and kept by the power of Christ.
That is where true safety is found.
Now, let us take a moment to pray together.
你自身软弱，但在基督里刚强。
所以，要以此为你的心态。
永远不要倚靠自己的力量。
要始终信靠耶稣。
衡量安全的标准，不是你攀登的高度，而是你与祂的亲近程度。
要始终倚靠祂，祷告，谦卑。
要始终仰望耶稣基督。
不要以为自己可以靠自己站立得稳。
要看到自己在人的力量中软弱，却被基督的大能所扶持、加添力量、保守。
真正的安全就在于此。
现在，让我们一起祷告片刻。
🤲 🙏
Dear Lord Jesus, I confess that l am not strong on my own.
Help me to never see myself as a strong believer in my own ability, but to know deep in my heart that all my strength is in you.
Your word warns me in 1 Corinthians 10:12.
So if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall.
Lord, help me to take this warning seriously.
Guard me from spiritual pride.
No matter how many Bible verses I may know, no matter how many church services I may attend, remind me that I can do nothing of eternal value without you.
I cannot defeat sin.
I cannot resist the devil by myself.
I need you, King Jesus.
Only in you and in you alone am l able to walk in victory, and your power.
Your word in John 15:5 says, "I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit. For apart from me, you can do nothing. "
"I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing."
Lord, let this truth live in my heart.
Keep me from the deception of self-reliance.
Do not let me become impressed with my own walk, my own discipline, or my own spiritual habits.
Instead, let me always be impressed with your grace, your mercy, and your power at work within me.
Your word in Ephesians 4: 27 teaches me.
And do not give the devil an opportunity to lead you into sin by holding a grudge or nurturing anger or harboring resentment or cultivating bitterness.
King Jesus, help me to live with wisdom so that I never open the door to the enemy.
Help me to search my heart and see where I might be holding on to unforgiveness, anger, or hidden resentment.
l ask you to remove bitterness from me.
亲爱的主耶稣，我承认我靠自己并不刚强。
求祢帮助我永远不要自以为是地相信自己的能力，而是要从心底深处明白，我所有的力量都来自祢。
祢的话语在哥林多前书10章12节中警告我：
所以，自以为站得稳的，须要谨慎，免得跌倒。
主啊，求祢帮助我认真对待这警告。
求祢保守我远离属灵的骄傲。
无论我背诵多少经文，无论我参加多少次教会礼拜，都求祢提醒我，没有祢，我什么都做不了，也做不了任何有永恒价值的事。
我无法战胜罪恶。
我无法靠自己抵挡魔鬼。
我需要祢，耶稣君王。
唯有靠着祢，我才能得胜，才能拥有祢的大能。
约翰福音15章5节说：“我是葡萄树，你们是枝子。常在我里面的，我也常在他里面，这人就多结果子；因为离了我，你们就不能做什么。”
“我是葡萄树，你们是枝子。常在我里面的，我也常在他里面，这人就多结果子；因为离了我，你们就不能做什么。”
主啊，愿这真理常在我心里。
求你保守我远离自以为是的迷惑。
不要让我自以为是，自以为是，自以为是。
相反，愿我时刻被你的恩典、你的怜悯和你运行在我里面的大能所感动。
以弗所书4章27节教导我。
不要给魔鬼机会，让他引诱你犯罪，不要让你心怀怨恨、滋生愤怒、怀有怨恨或滋生苦毒。
耶稣君王，求你帮助我活出智慧，使我永不向仇敌敞开大门。
求你帮助我省察内心，看看我是否在何处怀有不饶恕、愤怒或隐藏的怨恨。
我祈求你除去我心中的苦毒。
Help me to release every offense, to forgive those who have hurt me, and to walk in love.
Protect me from any foothold the devil might try to gain through my emotions, my reactions, or my relationships.
Teach me to quickly confess, quickly forgive, and quickly return to your peace.
Father, help me to live in the truth of Philippians 3:8. For your word says, "Yes, everything else is worthless when compared to the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.
For his sake, I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage so that I could gain Christ.
Lord Jesus, let this be true in my life.
I confess that my real riches are in you, not in anything l own or anything I have accomplished.
I do not want to hold tightly to my achievements, my reputation, or my success.
I choose to hold tightly to you.
求祢帮助我放下一切怨恨，饶恕那些伤害过我的人，并活在爱中。
求祢保护我，使我免受魔鬼利用我的情绪、反应或人际关系所要害的侵害。
求祢教导我迅速认罪、迅速饶恕，并迅速回到祢的平安中。
天父，求祢帮助我活在腓立比书3章8节的真理中。 因为你的话说：“是的，万事都算不得什么，因为认识我主基督耶稣的价值是无限的。”
为了他，我舍弃了一切，视之为粪土，为要得着基督。
主耶稣，愿这在我生命中成为现实。
我承认，我真正的财富在于你，而非我所拥有的一切或我所成就的一切。
我不愿紧紧抓住我的成就、名誉或成功。
我选择紧紧抓住你。
I refuse to place my hope and affection on money, on status, or on human approval.
I do not depend on my skills or my intelligence.
I look to you, mighty Lord.
Right now, I decide again that I will keep my eyes on Jesus Christ, the author and finisher of my faith.
Help me to look to you in every season.
I fix my gaze on you so that I do not become distracted by pride, fear, or the things of this world.
我拒绝将我的希望和爱寄托于金钱、地位或人的认可。
我不倚靠我的技能或智慧。
我仰望你，全能的主。
此刻，我再次决定，我要定睛仰望耶稣基督，祂是我信心的创始成终者。
求你帮助我，无论何时何地都仰望你。
我定睛仰望你，免得我被骄傲、恐惧或世俗之事所分心。
I pray that I would be filled with the Holy Spirit in such a way that my eyes are opened.
Holy Spirit, open my eyes to see everything that is pulling me backward.
Show me every habit, every thought pattern, every relationship, and every hidden sin that is harming my walk with you.
Do not let me be blind to what is slowly draining my spiritual strength.
Shine your light into the deepest parts of my heart.
我祈求圣灵充满我，使我的双眼得以开启。
圣灵啊，求你开启我的双眼，让我看清一切将我拉向后方的事物。
求你让我看到每一个习惯、每一种思维模式、每一种关系，以及每一项隐藏的罪，它们都在损害我与你同行。
不要让我对那些正在慢慢消耗我灵性力量的事物视而不见。
求你用你的光照进我心灵的最深处。
