经文: 「耶和华的约柜在前头行。」（民十33）
许多时候，我们里面起了一个声音，自己不知道这声音究竟是出乎上帝的呢，
还是出乎自己的。在这种情形之下，我们还是不动的好。如果这是出乎上帝的，上帝必
给我们充足的证据来证实这是出乎祂的，叫我们丝毫没有疑惑的可能。
耶利米的故事多美丽：耶利米对于购买亚拿突那块地的事，已经知道是出乎耶
和华的，但是他不去做，直到他叔叔的儿子果然到他那里去求他买回──给了他证据。
于是耶利米说：「我….就知道这是耶和华的话。」（耶卅二8）
他等着，直到上帝叫他明白──叫别人和自己都相信──以后，他才照着事实
去做。上帝喜欢我们照着祂的心意行事。所以我们不可轻举妄动，以致违反了祂的心意
。 ──信宣（A. B. Simpson）
上帝的手指所点的道路，上帝的手必去预备。
信徒阿，你不要说你要做什么、你不要做什么；你只要求上帝叫你看见祂所为
你选择的是那一条路。如果道路还未显明，这就是说：现在还没有行动的需要；你站在
你现在所站的地位上，上帝是负全责的。 ──选
Impressions
Scripture: "The ark of the covenant of the Lord went before them" (Num. 10:
33).
God does give us impressions, but not that we should act on them as
impressions. If the impression be from God, He will Himself give sufficient
evidence to establish it beyond the possibility of a doubt.
How beautiful is the story of Jeremiah, of the impression that came
to him respecting the purchase of the field of Anathoth. But Jeremiah did
not act upon this impression until after the following day, when his uncle's
son came to him and brought him external evidence by making a proposal for
the purchase. Then Jeremiah said: "I knew this was the word of the Lord."
He waited until God seconded the impression by a providence, and
then he acted in full view of the open facts, which could bring conviction
unto others as well as to himself. God wants us to act according to His mind
. We are not to ignore the Shepherd's personal voice but, like Paul and his
companions at Troas, we are to listen to all the voices that speak and "
gather" from all the circumstances, as they did, the full mind of the Lord. |
