在危機時刻,基督徒最常聽到的三句話是:「主啊,請採取行動!」
當我們面對令人困惑的考驗時,站着不動、無所作爲違背了我們的本性。耐心等待上帝採取行動可能是基督徒生活中最困難的事情之一。即使是虔誠的信徒,當上帝沒有按照他們的時間表行事時也會感到恐慌。
我們總是給上帝設定最後期限和時間限制。我們哭喊着:「主啊,你什麼時候才能解決這個問題?如果你現在不採取行動,那就太晚了!」但上帝永遠不會太晚。他總是按照他的時間表行事,而不是我們的。
我們的上帝一直在地球上尋找那些在每一次危機、考驗和絕望的情況下都信靠他的人。事實上,他經常把我們帶入危急和具有挑戰性的境地來考驗我們。他想看看我們是否會停下來等待他帶來超自然的拯救。
聖經說得很清楚:「義人的腳步被耶和華立定,他的道路,耶和華也喜悅他。」(詩篇37:23,NKJV)這裏「立定」的希伯來語意思是「預先安排好的、一步一步的、固定的、上帝指定的」。
這意味着是上帝,而不是魔鬼,帶領我們進入困境。我們可能會哭喊:「主啊,你爲什麼允許我的危機繼續下去?」但事實是,他不僅允許我們經歷考驗,而且他這樣做往往是有目的的。這讓我們很難接受。
上帝允許這些艱難困苦出現在我們生活中,是爲了讓我們產生信心。他正在把我們塑造成虔誠的信仰典範,作爲他對這個缺乏信心、不虔誠時代的見證。
我堅信,我們的天父掌管着我的每一步,他絕不會把我帶到困境的邊緣,然後拋棄我。他不會說:「好吧,大衛,我已經指引你到了這一步。現在你要靠自己了。」
不!上帝在每一次危機中都對他的孩子們絕對忠誠。他總是問我們:“你會是我一直在尋找的那個人嗎?那個不會驚慌失措、不會指責我拋棄、拋棄和傷害我的孩子的人?
親愛的,你願意在危機時刻堅定立場,相信他能幫助你渡過難關嗎?
耶穌,你愛我嗎?

了解新約,理解拯救信仰,感受基督的美麗和永恒完美。

DAILY DEVOTIONAL – November 19, 2024
Stand Still
By David Wilkerson
Listen Now
In times of crisis, the three most common words heard among Christians are: 「Lord, do something!」
When we face perplexing trials, standing still and doing nothing goes against our nature. Waiting patiently for God to act is probably one of the most difficult things about the Christian walk. Even devoted believers panic when the Lord does not move according to their timetable.
We constantly give God deadlines and time limits. We cry, “Lord, when will you do something about this? If You don’t act now, it will be too late!” But God is never too late. He always acts according to his schedule, not ours.
Our God is constantly searching the earth for those who will trust him in every crisis, trial and hopeless situation. Indeed, he often leads us into critical and challenging situations to test us. He wants to see if we will stand still and wait for him to bring supernatural deliverance.
The Bible states clearly: 「The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way」 (Psalm 37:23, NKJV). The Hebrew word for ordered here means 「prearranged, step by step, fixed, ordained by God.」
This means God, not the devil, leads us into difficult places. We may cry, 「Lord, why are you allowing my crisis to continue?」 But the truth is, not only does he allow our trial, but he often does so deliberately for a purpose. This is hard for us to accept.
God allows these hard things in our lives to produce faith in us. He is shaping us into godly examples of faith to be his testimony to a faithless, ungodly age.
I firmly believe our heavenly Father ordains every step I take, and he would never lead me to the brink of a difficult situation, only to abandon me. He would not say, 「Okay, David, I have directed you up to this point. Now you are on your own.」
No! God is absolutely faithful to his children in every crisis. He always asks us, “Will you be the one I’ve been searching for? One who will not panic, who will not charge me with forsaking, abandoning and hurting my children?
Beloved, will you stand still in your crisis and trust him to see you through?
Jesus, Do You Love Me?
