1月2日竭誠為主

12 你肯不肯不知去向就出去?

出去的時候,還不知往哪裏去。(來十一8

你曾否這樣出去?若有,那麽當有人問你在幹什麽時,你簡直沒有合邏輯的話可以回答。作神的工其中一個難題就是--你期望做些什麽?你根本不知道該做什麽,你唯一知道的,是神知道他在做什麽。要經常審查自己對神的態度,看看是否竭盡所能、完全信靠神。這種態度使你不住地稀奇,因你不知道神下一步會怎樣做。每天清晨醒來,就是新的出去,建立對神的靠賴。不要爲生活謀算……也不要爲身體擔憂。出去之前,這些東西都不要再理會了。你是否不住地追問神,他將做些什麽,神決不會告訴你。神不會告訴你他怎樣行事,他只會向你顯明他是誰。你相信神是行神迹的神嗎?你肯不肯順命出去,對他所作的一切,一點也不詫异?

假若神真是你親近他時所認識的神,憂慮是何等不當哩!讓我們的生命不斷地靠著神出去,那麽生命會奇妙得難以形容,且叫耶穌心滿意足。你一定要好好學習從信念、教條、經驗中出來,直至你與神之間,已全無隔膜。

祈禱主啊,我對禰渴慕的心是何等熱切地加增,這種心情幷非以任何狹隘的方式來表達,乃是藉著榮耀的方式表現出來--更完全的實現禰的聖潔。


January 2 Will You Go Out
Without Knowing?

“He went out, not knowing whither he went.” Hebrews 11:8

Have you been “out” in this
way? If so, there is no logical statement possible when anyone asks you what
you are doing. One of the difficulties in Christian work is this question –
“What do you expect to do?” You do not know what you are going to do; the only
thing you know is that God knows what He is doing. Continually revise your
attitude towards God and see if it is a going out of everything, trusting in
God entirely. It is this attitude that keeps you in perpetual wonder – you do
not know what God is going to do next. Each morning you wake it is to be a
“going out,” building in confidence on God. “Take no thought for your life, . .
. nor yet for your body” – take no thought for the things for which you did
take thought before you “went out.”

Have you been asking God
what He is going to do? He will never tell you. God does not tell you what He
is going to do; He reveals to you Who He is. Do you believe in a
miracle-working God, and will you go out in surrender to Him until you are not
surprised an atom at anything He does?

Suppose God is the God you
know Him to be when you are nearest to Him – what an impertinence worry is! Let
the attitude of the life be a continual “going out” in dependence upon God, and
your life will have an ineffable charm about it which is a satisfaction to
Jesus. You have to learn to go out of convictions, out of creeds, out of
experiences, until so far as your faith is concerned, there is nothing between
yourself and God.
