「耶和華的約櫃在他們前頭往前行。」－民數記10:33
若有一個感動真是出於神，祂就必定驅散所有疑惑，親自證明這感動出自於祂。
耶利米的那段故事是很動人的。在他得了感動要買下亞拿突那塊地之後，他並沒有貿然驟下決定；他乃是等到次日，他叔叔的兒子來央求他購買，他才確知有了神外在環境的印證，說：「我...就知道這是耶和華的話」（耶利米書32:8）。
他靜待不動，直等到神親自印證了他的感動，他才照著擺在眼前的事實採取行動，使自己並他身旁的人一一信服。
神願意我們作個按祂心意行事的人，所以我們不該忽略了好牧人殷殷的提醒，反而該學習保羅和他的同工在特羅亞為我們所作的榜樣：細細聆聽來自四面八方的聲音，以準確「蒐集」到神心頭真正的願望。

"The ark of the covenant of the Lord went before them" (Num. 10:33).God does give us impressions, but not that we should act on them as impressions. If the impression be from God, He will Himself give sufficient evidence to establish it beyond the possibility of a doubt.
How beautiful is the story of Jeremiah, of the impression that came to him respecting the purchase of the field of Anathoth. But Jeremiah did not act upon this impression until after the following day, when his uncle's son came to him and brought him external evidence by making a proposal for the purchase. Then Jeremiah said: "I knew this was the word of the Lord."
He waited until God seconded the impression by a providence, and then he acted in full view of the open facts, which could bring conviction unto others as well as to himself. God wants us to act according to His mind. We are not to ignore the Shepherd's personal voice but, like Paul and his companions at Troas, we are to listen to all the voices that speak and "gather" from all the circumstances, as they did, the full mind of the Lord. --Dr. Simpson
