64 永不失信的神

因為主曾說:“我總不撇下你,也不丟棄你。”(來十三5

我思想的路向如何?是轉向神的話,還是轉向自己的恐懼?我有沒有學習不去講述神說什麼,而是先聽他說些什麼,然後才開口?“主曾說:‘我總不撇下你,也不丟棄你。’所以我們可以放膽說:‘主是幫助我的,我必不懼怕,人能把我怎麼樣呢?’”

“我總不失信。”(中文聖經作“我總不撇下你”)--不管我是罪汙、自私、固執、背逆,神總不撇下我。我真有讓神對我說:“我總不失信”?若我曾聽過神如此說,讓我如今聽他再說吧。

“我總不丟棄你。”有時並非是困難叫我覺得神丟棄我,而是枯燥乏味的生活。沒有困難的高山可以攀登,也沒有異象賜下,更沒有什麼興奮美麗的東西,只是日復一日的平凡生活--在這景況下,我有聽見神如此說呢?

在我們的意念中,總以為神會行奇事,裝備我們將來要成就偉大的工作。可是,我們若在神的恩中生活,便會發現神就在此時此地榮耀他自己。我們若有“神如此說”作後盾,就有最奇異莫名的能力臨到,使我們在平凡的生活中歡呼歌唱。

祈禱◆噢,主啊,求你榮耀的復活,進入我們的生命、路程和行動中。求你今天的醫治、盼望、恩典和美善,強而有力地臨到。


June 4 The Never-Failing God

For He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” Hebrews 13:5

What line does my thought take? Does it turn to what God says or to what I fear? Am I learning to say not what God says, but to say something after I have heard what He says? “He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.”

I will in no wise fail thee” – not for all my sin and selfishness and stubbornness and waywardness. Have I really let God say to me that He will never fail me? If I have listened to this say-so of God's, then let me listen again.

Neither will I in any wise forsake thee.” Sometimes it is not difficulty that makes me think God will forsake me, but drudgery. There is no Hill Difficulty to climb, no vision given, nothing wonderful or beautiful, just the commonplace day in and day out can I hear God's say-so in these things?

We have the idea that God is going to do some exceptional thing, that He is preparing and fitting us for some extraordinary thing by and bye, but as we go on in grace we find that God is glorifying Himself here and now, in the present minute. If we have God's say-so behind us, the most amazing strength comes, and we learn to sing in the ordinary days and ways.
