在神只有一件難成的事,就是人對祂的愛和能力剛硬頑梗的不信-11月5日

「耶和華豈有難成的事麼?」-創世記18:14
是今日神對你我的一個愛的挑戰。

祂盼望我們思考在我們心田裡的那些最深、最高、最有價值的渴望;思考那些關於自己與關於我們所愛之人,那些在生命中已經塵封已久、早已忘卻、視之為妄想的那些失落的渴望。

那個渴望,若緊貼在神心意的中心線上,像亞伯拉罕與撒拉那般對生子的切望,神就會使我們成就;儘管我們想也不想的覺得荒謬可笑,即使在人聽了覺得天馬行空,但是神會使我們的渴望成就,只要我們願意。

「耶和華豈有難成的事嗎?」當我們選擇相信,並照祂旨意去行的時候,對祂的確就沒有難成的事。

若亞伯拉罕和撒拉選擇不信,神的計畫就會因此受到攔阻。

耶和華只有一件難成的事,就是人對神的愛和能力剛硬頑梗的不信,與抵死不從的拒絕。

對那些相信的人而言,耶和華沒有一件難成的事。

"Is there anything too hard for Jehovah?" (Gen. 18:14).
Here is God's loving challenge to you and to me today. He wants us to think of the deepest, highest, worthiest desire and longing of our hearts, something which perhaps was our desire for ourselves or for someone dear to us, yet which has been so long unfulfilled that we have looked upon it as only a lost desire, that which might have been but now cannot be, and so have given up hope of seeing it fulfilled in this life.

That thing, if it is in line with what we know to be His expressed will as a son to Abraham and Sarah was., God intends to do for us, even if we know that it is of such utter impossibility that we only laugh at the absurdity of anyone's supposing it could ever now come to pass. That thing God intends to do for us, if we will let Him.

"Is anything too hard for the Lord?" Not when we believe in Him enough to go forward and do His will, and let Him do the impossible for us. Even Abraham and Sarah could have blocked God's plan if they had continued to disbelieve.

The only thing too hard for Jehovah is deliberate, continued disbelief in His love and power, and our final rejection of His plans for us. Nothing is too hard for Jehovah to do for them that trust Him --Messages for the Morning Watch
