在信的人凡事都能-2月22日

「你說“你若能”─在信的人凡事都能。」-馬可福音9:23

很難聽到一個對信心更好的解釋。

一次的聚會中,一位青年人提出了他的疑惑:「如何從神得到應時的幫助?」一個親愛的年長黑人姊妹站了起來,伸出指頭,鄭重的指向那個青年人,她說:「你只需相信祂已經成就了,事就會這麼成就。」

我們最大的危險,就是常常我們請求主幫助時,卻不相信事情就會如此成就;反而,我們試圖助祂一臂之力,甚至找了許多人一同來幫助祂,然後看看祂會怎麼成就。

當神說「是」的時候,信心的回應就是「阿們」,然後完全鬆手,讓神完成祂的工作。

信心的邏輯是:「當將你的事交託耶和華,並信靠祂,祂就必成全。」(詩篇37:5)-屬天的日子

即便事情還未成就,積極、主動的信心能向所得的應許發出感謝;因為知道神不會空口說白話。-馬太亨利

"If thou canst believe, all things are possible. to him that believeth" (Mark 9:23).
Seldom have we heard a better definition of faith than was given once in one of our meetings, by a dear old colored woman, as she answered the question of a young man how to take the Lord for needed help.

In her characteristic way, pointing her finger toward him, she said with great emphasis: "You've just got to believe that He's done it and it's done." The great danger with most of us is that, after we ask Him to do it, we do not believe that it is done, but we keep on helping Him, and getting others to help Him; and waiting to see how He is going to do it.

Faith adds its "Amen" to God's "Yea," and then takes its hands off, and leaves God to finish His work. Its language is, "Commit thy way unto the Lord, trust also in him; and he worketh.' --Days of Heaven upon Earth

An active faith can give thanks for a promise, though it be not as yet performed; knowing that God's bonds are as good as ready money. --Matthew Henry
