「我要將他所踏過的地賜給他...,因為他專一跟從我耶和華。」-申命記1:36在每一樣生命道路上難擔的職責中,在每一樣令你不願面對、苦不堪言、心力交瘁的重擔裡,都隱含了神的祝福。
不論代價輕重,你若退卻逃離,就必失去祝福。
每段艱苦的道路上,必散佈主的足跡;若祂命你隨祂步步向前,祂就必負責引你進入榮耀。
若你無法走上這條漫漫的荊棘路,你也無法得到祝福。
每次的爭戰都有得勝的機會,每次的拔劍都有滅敵的可能;而每次的勝利都會成為生命中寶貴的祝福,每一份的沈重都要帶給你重新得力的秘訣。
-密勒
"To him will I give the land that he hath trodden upon because he hath wholly followed the Lord" (Deut. 1:36).Every hard duty that lies in your path, that you would rather not do, that it will cost you pain and struggle or sore effort to do, has a blessing in it. Not to do it, at whatever cost, is to miss the blessing.
Every hard piece of road on which you see the Master's shoe-prints and along which He bids you follow Him, surely leads to blessing, which you cannot get if you cannot go over the steep, thorny path.
Every point of battle to which you come, where you must draw your sword and fight the enemy, has a possible victory which will prove a rich blessing to your life. Every heavy load that you are called to lift hides in itself some strange secret of strength. --J. R. Miller
