「祂就說,拿過來給我。」-馬太福音14:18你是否正在經歷苦難和試煉呢?你有否被他們所打敗呢?
其實,這些都是神為你量好的機會,好讓聖靈有機會更多充滿你。
若你能明白神的心意,這些都將轉成你的祝福,成為你得拯救的機會。因為祝福和拯救只能藉此得著。
運用信心的禱告,把你的器皿都拿過來給神吧!
安靜下來,停下你慌亂的忙東忙西,直到祂開始動工;不要輕舉妄動,直到祂親自吩咐。
你若肯給神機會,神必開始作事。如此一來,所有的損失與失望,都將成為神彰顯祂恩典和榮耀的機會。只要你肯「拿過來給我(神)」。-宣信
「我的神必在榮耀中,照著祂的豐富,在基督耶穌裡,使你們一切所需用的都充足。」-腓立比書4:19
- 「神」!是何等的源頭;
- 「祂的豐富」!是何等的供應;
- 「基督耶穌」!是何等的管道。
祂永不枯竭、無止無盡的寶庫,因著深愛著你,早已開啟著大門,歡迎你隨時用無偽的信心來放膽支取。-C.H.M.
"Bring them hither to me" (Matt. 14:18)..Are you encompassed with needs at this very moment, and almost overwhelmed with difficulties, trials, and emergencies? These are all divinely provided vessels for the Holy Spirit to fill, and if you but rightly understood their meaning, they would become opportunities for receiving new blessings and deliverances which you can get in no other way.
Bring these vessels to God. Hold them steadily before Him in faith and prayer. Keep still, and stop your own restless working until He begins to work. Do nothing that He does not Himself command you to do. Give Him a chance to work, and He will surely do so; and the very trials that threatened to overcome you with discouragement and disaster, will become God's opportunity for the revelation of His grace and glory in your life, as you have never known Him before. "Bring them all needs. to me." --A. B. Simpson
"My God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus" (Phil. 4:19).
What a source--"God!" What a supply--"His riches in glory!" What a channel--"Christ Jesus!" It is your sweet privilege to place all your need over against His riches, and lose sight of the former in the presence of the latter. His exhaustless treasury is thrown open to you, in all the love of His heart; go and draw upon it, in the artless simplicity of faith, and you will never have occasion to look to a creature-stream, or lean on a creature-prop. --C. H. M.
