标 题：神的启示就是祂的邀请
经 节：主耶和华若不将奥秘指示祂的仆人——众先知，就一无所行。（阿摩司书三章7节）
基督徒花费许多时间讨论如何[寻求神的旨意]，好象神的旨意是隐藏、难以寻见的。神并没有隐藏祂旨意，祂的旨意不难发现。我们不需要恳求神向我们透露祂的旨意。祂比我们愿意接受其旨意，更愿意显明祂的旨意。有时候，我们求神去做一些祂已经成就的事！
阿摩司时代的人是一群迷失的百姓，不认识神，也不清楚祂的心意。神早已显明祂的旨意，问题是他们不理睬神的旨意，也不遵行祂的旨意。阿摩司宣告，神若不将自己的作为指示祂的仆人，就什么也不做。可悲的是，许多时候没人亲近祂，领受祂的启示（以赛亚书五十九：16，六十三：5；以西结书廿二：30-31）。
耶稣与天父十分亲密地同行，祂总是清楚知道天父的作为（约翰福音五：19-20）。耶稣说，我们的眼睛若是明亮，会看见神及祂的作为（马太福音六：22）。如果看不到神的作为，问题不在于神没有启示，而在于我们的罪阻挡了我们。
当神正在你的孩子身上动工，或正要让你的同工悔改，祂可能会向你透露祂的作为。祂的启示就是个请帖，邀请你加入祂的救赎大工。要儆醒注意你周围神的作为。祂会向祂的仆人显现祂的作为。如果你的属灵眼睛是明亮的，你会在周遭人们身上，赞叹地见到神的作为。
God’s
Revelation Is His Invitation
Surely
the Lord GOD does nothing, Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the
prophets. (Amos 3:7)
Christians
spend much time talking about “seeking God’s will,” as though it were hidden
and difficult to find. God does not hide His will. His will is not difficult to
discover. We do not have to plead with God to reveal His will to us. He is more
eager to reveal His will than we are willing to receive it. We sometimes ask
God to do things He has already done!
The
people in Amos’s day became disoriented to God and to His desires. God had
revealed His will; the problem was that they had not recognized it or obeyed
it. Amos declared that God does nothing in the affairs of humanity without
seeking one of His servants to whom He will reveal His activity. Tragically,
there are times when no one is walking closely enough with Him to be receptive
to His word (Isa. 59:16; 63:5; Ezek. 22:30–31).
Jesus
walked so intimately with His Father that He was always aware of what the
Father was doing around Him (John 5:19–20). Jesus said that if our eyes are
pure, they will see God and recognize His activity (Matt. 6:22). If we are not
seeing God’s activity, the problem is not a lack of revelation. The problem is
that our sin prevents us from noticing it.
When
God is working in your child’s life or when He is convicting your coworker, He
may reveal His activity to you. His revelation is His invitation for you to
join Him in His redemptive work. Be alert to God’s activity around you. He will
reveal His activity to His servants. If your spiritual eyes are pure, you will
be overwhelmed by all that you see God doing around you!
