怎么知道上帝的旨意？

这是每个年轻基督徒都会问的问题——选什么专业？交什么朋友？未来做什么工作？首先要分清两种旨意：上帝的'显明旨意'（圣经里明确写的，比如爱人如己、不撒谎等）和'隐秘旨意'（比如你该去哪个大学）。对于显明旨意，直接照着做就好。对于隐秘旨意，这里有一些原则：1）读圣经——上帝的旨意不会违反圣经。2）祷告——求上帝赐你智慧（雅各书1:5）。3）听建议——请教你信任的长辈、牧师、父母。4）看环境——上帝会通过环境开门或关门。5）用理性——上帝给了你大脑，分析利弊也是好的。6）平安——当你做对的决定时，圣灵会给你心里的平安。不要焦虑——上帝是好牧人，祂会引导你。

This is a question every young Christian asks — what major to choose? What friends to make? What career to pursue? First, distinguish two types of God's will: His 'revealed will' (clearly stated in Scripture, like love your neighbor, don't lie) and His 'secret will' (like which college you should attend). For the revealed will, just obey it. For the secret will, here are some principles: 1) Read the Bible — God's will never contradicts Scripture. 2) Pray — ask God for wisdom (James 1:5). 3) Seek counsel — ask trusted mentors, pastors, and parents. 4) Watch circumstances — God opens and closes doors. 5) Use your mind — God gave you a brain; analyzing pros and cons is good. 6) Peace — when you make the right decision, the Holy Spirit gives you inner peace. Don't stress — God is a good Shepherd and He will guide you.
