不要只看見烏雲,要注意雲朵周圍日光鑲上的銀邊-4月2日

「他們...觀看,不料,耶和華的榮光在雲中顯現。」-出埃及記16:10
若看見一抹烏雲,別只看它中間黑壓壓灰黑的陰影,試著注意雲朵周圍日光鑲上的銀邊。

不論情況多遭,不要輕言放棄。

沒有人能幫助沮喪中的人;所以你需要逃避沮喪,如同逃避致命的毒蛇。千萬不能猶豫,除非你想束手就擒。

找出神的應許,大聲的向每個身旁的人說:「這個應許是我的!」若你仍覺得一點也沒有用,那你就把你的苦楚告訴神,叫神懲治那個無情苦害你的仇敵。

當你一離開不信和沮喪,聖靈就要讓你充滿信心,灌注你神聖的能力。或許一開始你並不覺得,但你若堅決的斥退每個攻擊你的疑惑和沮喪,你就要看見黑暗的權勢節節敗退。

哦!若我們的眼目能轉眼不看黑暗的勢力,定睛注目於神自己,仇敵所有使我們傷心、鬱悶、氣餒的詭計,將在我們身上失去效力。

即使是一位最微小信徒,他若能在基督的名裡,以孩子般單純地將自己獻給神,並求助神的引導和加力時,神一切豐富奇妙的屬性都會站在他這一邊,為他加油打氣。-選

"They looked...and behold, the glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud" (Exod. 16:10).
Get into the habit of looking for the silver lining of the cloud and when you have found it, continue to look at it, rather than at the leaden gray in the middle.

Do not yield to discouragement no matter how sorely pressed or beset you may be. A discouraged soul is helpless. He can neither resist the wiles of the enemy himself, while in this state, nor can he prevail in prayer for others.

Flee from every symptom of this deadly foe as you would flee from a viper. And be not slow in turning your back on it, unless you want to bite the dust in bitter defeat.

Search out God's promises and say aloud of each one: "This promise is mine." If you still experience a feeling of doubt and discouragement, pour out your heart to God and ask Him to rebuke the adversary who is so mercilessly nagging you.

The very instant you whole-heartedly turn away from every symptom of distrust and discouragement, the blessed Holy Spirit will quicken your faith and inbreathe Divine strength into your soul.

At first you may not be conscious of this, still as you resolutely and uncompromisingly "snub" every tendency toward doubt and depression that assails you, you will soon be made aware that the powers of darkness are falling back.

Oh, if our eyes could only behold the solid phalanx of strength, of power, that is ever behind every turning away from the hosts of darkness, God-ward, what scant heed would be given to the effort of the wily foe to distress, depress, discourage us!

All the marvelous attributes of the Godhead are on the side of the weakest believer, who in the name of Christ, and in simple, childlike trust, yields himself to God and turns to Him for help and guidance. --Selected
