你不理解的事? 信靠神 - rick warren

這一篇很有用,我自己的經曆證明了這是真的.很多事以我們有限的智慧看來不合邏輯,不可能.可是神遠遠大過我們,他的心意和道路遠遠大過我們.我們信靠順從他,他就為我們開路,他的光就照耀我們的路. 

當到了一個階段,了解到一點點神的愛和對我們好的結果時,那種驚喜,愉悅和安寧難以言表.

所以,在耶穌裏麵,我們的生活充滿了驚喜.神讓我們看到從未想象過的可能性.固執,驕傲,自大的人常常因為自己過快的判定失去了機會

我很喜歡一首歌裏的歌詞:
I hear the Savior say,
“Thy strength indeed is small;
Child of weakness, watch and pray,
Find in Me thine all in all.” 

喜歡裏麵神的勸導,對小小我們的關切和愛.

Don't Understand? Trust God
by Rick Warren

 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV)

You may be facing a dead end right now—financial, emotional, or relational—but if you will trust God and keep on moving in faith, even when you don’t see a way, he will make a way.

It will become more understandable as you head down the path he sets before you, but understanding is not a requirement for you to start down the path. Proverbs 4:18 says, “The path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, shining brighter till the full light of day.” (NIV) One day you will stand in the full light of eternity and view the big picture. You’ll see God’s purpose behind the path he specifically chose for you. 

In the meantime, do what Proverbs 3 says: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”

Be patient. God knows what He’s doing. God knows what is best for you. He can see the end result. You can’t. All those problems, heartaches, difficulties and delays—all the things that make you ask “why”—one day will all be clear in the light of God’s love.

But for now, we’re learning to trust God.

你不理解的事, 信靠神

--- 華理克牧師 

你 要 專 心 仰 賴 耶 和 華 ， 不 可 倚 靠 自 己 的 聰 明 。在 你 一 切 所 行 的 事 上 ， 都 要 認 定 他 ， 他 必 指 引 你 的 路 。箴言3:5-6 

你也許現在正麵對一個死胡同 – 經濟上的,感情上的,關係上的 – 但是如果你信賴上帝並保持在信心裏前行,那麽就算你看不到路,他也會為你開一條路 .

沿著他在你前麵已經開好的路走比較容易理解,但是理解並不是你沿著他的路走的要求.箴言4:18 說: “但 義 人 的 路 ， 好 像 黎 明 的 光 ， 越 照 越 明 ， 直 到 日 午. ”.總有一天你會完全站在永恒的光裏,且看到整個畫麵.在神特別為你選擇的路後麵,你講看到他的目的. 

同時,按照箴言第三章裏說的那樣去做: “你 要 專 心 仰 賴 耶 和 華 ， 不 可 倚 靠 自 己 的 聰 明 。在 你 一 切 所 行 的 事 上 ， 都 要 認 定 他 ， 他 必 指 引 你 的 路” 

要忍耐.神知道他在做什麽.神知道什麽對你最好.他可以看到最後的結果,而你不能.所有的問題,心痛, 困難和延遲 – 所有令你要問”為什麽”的一切 – 有一天在神的大愛的光裏會顯明給你. 

而現在,我們在學習信靠神.
