標  題:神主動

經  節:耶和華對亞伯蘭說:「你要離開本地、本族、父家,往我所要指示你的地去。」(創世記十二章1節)

你生命中最戲劇化的改變是由神主動,不是由你主動。那些在聖經中被神重用的人都是普通人,他們被賜予神聖的任務,這些任務絕對不是他們主動要求得來的。主通常出乎他們意料之外臨到他們,他們根本沒有向神尋求任何重大的指示。儘管如此,祂看到他們的心,祂知道他們是值得信任。

當神要開始創建一個屬自己的國家時,祂開口向亞伯蘭說話。救贖主將藉著這個國家降臨世上。當神要拯救以色列脫離埃及的奴役,祂向摩西顯現。神發現耶西最小的兒子大衛是敬虔的人,可以帶領祂的百姓。當神讓馬利亞知道自己要作彌賽亞的母親時,祂的作為令馬利亞訝異。當神的兒子要把祂救恩的好消息傳播全世界時,祂挑選了十二個平凡、沒有受教育的人作門徒。在曆世歷代,神主動在人們每日的生活中,成就超過他們所求所想的一切事物。

神可能在你生命中開始一項新事。當祂向你透露祂的計劃時,要相信祂,與祂緊密同行。不要讓你當前忙碌的活動捆綁,以至於無法得到神所要給你的體驗。你將會看到神在你的生活中,成就超過你所求所想的一切(以弗所書三:20)。


God’s Initiatives

Now the LORD had said to Abram: "Get out of your country, From your family And from your father's house, To a land that I will show you." (Genesis 12:1)

The most dramatic changes in your life will come from God’s initiative, not yours. The people God used mightily in Scripture were all ordinary people to whom He gave divine assignments that they never could have initiated. The Lord often took them by surprise for they were not seeking significant mandates from God. Even so, He saw their hearts, and He knew they were trustworthy.

The Lord spoke to Abram when He was beginning to build a nation dedicated to His purposes. Through this nation would come the Savior. God appeared to Moses at the very time He had purposed to deliver Israel out of slavery in Egypt. God found in Jesse’s youngest son David a godly man who could lead His people. God surprised Mary when He told her she would be the mother of the Messiah. God’s Son selected the twelve disciples, all ordinary, uneducated men, when He was ready to take the good news of His salvation to the world. Through the ages God has taken the initiative in the everyday lives of people to accomplish things through them that they never could have imagined.

The Lord may be initiating some new things in your life. When He tells you what His plans are, trust Him and walk closely with Him. Don’t let the busyness of your present activity keep you from experiencing all that God has in store for you. You will see Him accomplish things through your life that you never dreamed were possible (Eph. 3:20).
