時候將到,你將為著神所量的一切環境,對祂感激不已-3月1日

「你要察看神的作為;因神所彎曲的,誰能變為直呢?」-傳道書7:13
經常將祂的兒女置於極大的艱困中;他用雲彩在他們前頭領路,帶領他們到無法逃脫的圍欄,使人的智慧無法理解的環境四面困迫他們。

或許你現今正處於這樣的時刻。

這些環境似乎使你感到莫名其妙,令你無法忍受、痛苦不堪...

但時候將到,神的美意將會顯明,你的疑惑也將煙消雲散。你會明白,你一切的處境最終將成為讓祂的恩典和能力得以彰顯的舞台。

有一天,祂不僅會釋放你脫離困楚,祂還要讓你得到一個寶貴的功課,使你能將所有的苦難化為詩章,反覆誦詠歌唱;你將為著祂在你身上所置放的艱困,對祂感激不已。

"Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked" (Eccles. 7:13).
Often God seems to place His children in positions of profound difficulty, leading them into a wedge from which there is no escape; contriving a situation which no human judgment would have permitted, had it been previously consulted. The very cloud conducts them thither. You may be thus involved at this very hour.

It does seem perplexing and very serious to the last degree, but it is perfectly right. The issue will more than justify Him who has brought you hither. It is a platform for the display of His almighty grace and power.

He will not only deliver you; but in doing so, He will give you a lesson that you will never forget, and to which, in many a psalm and song, in after days, you will revert. You will never be able to thank God enough for having done just as He has. --Selected
