「摩西向海伸手，耶和華便用強大的東風，使海水一夜退去，叫海成了乾地；水就分開了。」－出埃及記14:21
神為以色列百姓所行的神蹟，不是經過一晚醒來，發現自己身在紅海的另一邊，真正的神蹟乃是在那「一夜」。
照樣，在你我人生的黑夜中，四圍盡都是雙眼無法測透的黑暗，但別忘了，神仍在作工。祂正為你整夜不睡，摸黑趕工；只要等到「一夜」過去，天一旦重新放明，你要看見，神在夜間所為你作工的成果。
親愛的朋友，當你讀到這段文字的時候，你正處於人生的黑夜中嗎？你是否覺得你能看見，但其實你卻無法看見？你得勝的經歷寥寥可數，你和神的關係常常中斷，你的生活暗日無光。
「耶和華...使海水一夜退去。」請記得，神花費的時間是「一夜」，直到天明。
或許你什麼也看不見，但當你信靠的時候，你會曉得，神「一夜」都在作工。－C. H. P.
"The Lord caused the sea to go back?all that night" (Exod. 14:21).In this verse there is a comforting message showing how God works in the dark. The real work of God for the children of Israel, was not when they awakened and found that they could get over the Red Sea; but it was "all that night."
So there may be a great working in your life when it all seems dark and you cannot see or trace, but yet God is working. Just as truly did He work "all that night," as all the next day. The next day simply manifested what God had done during the night. Is there anyone reading these lines who may have gotten to a place where it seems dark? You believe to see, but you are not seeing. In your life-progress there is not constant victory; the daily, undisturbed communion is not there, and all seems dark.
"The Lord caused the sea to go back all that night." Do not forget that it was "all that night." God works all the night, until the light comes. You may not see it, but all that "night" in your life, as you believe God, He works. --C. H. P.
