「你們不見風，不見雨，但這谷必滿了水，使你們和牛羊、牲口有水喝。在耶和華眼中這還算為小事，祂也必將摩押人交在你們手中。」－列王紀下3:17-18
在沒有預兆與聲音之下，從看不見也想不透的源頭，大水在伸手不見五指的夜裡，無聲無息悄悄偷進了谷中；次日黎明，溝渠間漫著滾滾的清澈甘泉，閃閃地映著東邊群山間射出的晨光。
你我不信的心，總是期望外在眼見的預兆。許多人的信仰完全依賴感官，若缺了明確的蛛絲馬跡，他們是絕不肯心悅誠服的。
然而，信心最大的勝利是在靜寂中，認定祂是神。
信心的得勝，是在無法橫越的紅海前，聽見主說：「只管站住，看耶和華...所要施行的拯救」（出埃及記14:13）和「往前行」（15）；是在紋風不動的紅海前舉步向前；是在海浪沾濕了跨出去的腳時，面不改色的健步如飛。
只有這樣的信心，才能看見海水裂開，為我們展開一條康莊的平路。
質問不是信心的一部份，順服才是。
只要溝渠挖通，天上的江河就能傾倒。這才是信心的功課！
你渴望屬靈的祝福嗎？只要挖開你的溝渠，神就要從超乎你所求所想的將它充滿。
願我們都能不憑眼見，只憑信心；儘管風輕雨稀，仍然對神深寄厚望。
－宣信
"Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, that ye may drink, both ye, and your cattle, and your beasts. And this is but a light thing in the sight of the Lord: he will deliver the Moabites also into your hands" (2 Kings 3:16-18).To human thinking it was simply impossible, but nothing is hard for God.
Without a sound or sign, from sources invisible and apparently impossible, the floods came stealing in all night long; and when the morning dawned, those ditches were flooded with the crystal waters, and reflecting the rays of the morning sun from the red hills of Edom.
Our unbelief is always wanting some outward sign. The religion of many is largely sensational, and they are not satisfied of its genuineness without manifestations, etc.; but the greatest triumph of faith is to be still and know that He is God.
The great victory of faith is to stand before some impassable Red Sea, and hear the Master say, "Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord," and "Go forward!" As we step out without any sign or sound--not a wave-splash--and wetting our very feet as we take the first step into its waters, still marching on we shall see the sea divide and the pathway open through the very midst of the waters.
If we have seen the miraculous workings of God in some marvelous case of healing or some extraordinary providential deliverance, I am sure the thing that has impressed us most has been the quietness with which it was all done, the absence of everything spectacular and sensational, and the utter sense of nothingness which came to us as we stood in the presence of this mighty God and felt how easy, it was for Him to do it all without the faintest effort on His part or the slightest help on ours.
It is not the part of faith to question, but to obey. The ditches were made, and the water came pouring in from some supernatural source. What a lesson for our faith!
Are you craving a spiritual blessing? Open the trenches, and God will fill them. And this, too, in the most unexpected places and in the most unexpected ways.
Oh, for that faith that can act by faith and not by sight, and expect God to work although we see no wind or rain. --A. B. Simpson
