不求超然的感觉
经文: 「摩西牧养他岳父米甸祭司叶忒罗的羊群，一日领羊群往野外去，到了上帝的山
，就是何烈山。耶和华的使者从荆棘里火焰中向摩西显现。」（出三1~2）
我们普通总以为异象必须在特别环境中才能看见，在这里我们看见我们的理想
错了：异象是在日常生活中看见的，上帝喜欢在我们日常生活中启示祂自己。祂常到顶
普通的路上去寻找一个人，忽然向他显现。
我的父上帝阿，求祢教导我怎样在日常生活中等待祢。我并不求什么超然的感
觉；我只求祢在日常生活中与我交通，求祢在我日常的道路上作我的伴侣，让这卑贱的
人生因着祢的同在得着变化。
有些基督人喜欢常有特别的喜乐和启示；但是这并不是上帝的方法。那些魂游
象外，与看不见的世界有奇异的接触，并不是上帝所给我们的应许；上帝所给我们的应
许乃是日常生活上的交通。其实这也已经够了。
门徒中间，看见耶稣在高山上变形的，只有三个人；这三个人也就是同尝客西
马尼苦味的。没有一个人能一直留在山上，因为山下还有许多工作等待我们去做。 ─

Not of the Extraordinary
Scripture: "Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest
of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside, of the desert, and came to
the mountain of God, even to Horeb. And the angel of the Lord appeared unto
him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush" (Exod. 3:1,2).
The vision came in the midst of common toil, and that is where the
Lord delights to give His revelations. He seeks a man who is on the ordinary
road, and the Divine fire leaps out at his feet. The mystic ladder can rise
from the market place to Heaven. It can connect the realm of drudgery with
the realms of grace.
My Father God, help me to expect Thee on the ordinary road. I do not
ask for sensational happenings. Commune with me through ordinary work and
duty. Be my Companion when I take the common journey. Let the humble life be
transfigured by Thy presence.
Some Christians think they must be always up to mounts of
extraordinary joy and revelation; this is not after God's method. Those
spiritual visits to high places, and that wonderful intercourse with the
unseen world, are not in the promises; the daily life of communion is. And
it is enough. We shall have the exceptional revelation if it be right for us.
There were but three disciples allowed to see the transfiguration,
and those three entered the gloom of Gethsemane. No one can stay on the
mount of privilege. There are duties in the valley. Christ found His life-
work, not in the glory, but in the valley and was there truly and fully the
Messiah. The value of the vision and glory is but their gift of fitness for
work and endurance. --Selected |
