标 题：相信的人有福了
经 节：这相信的女子是有福的！因为主对她所说的话都要应验。（路加福音一章45节）
在神的国度中，相信是接受的必要前提。神对马利亚说话，给了她保证。每回祂将人力无法达成的任务，交付祂的百姓时，祂总是会先给他们承诺。万事已经就绪，只等神施展作为。万事就等著马利亚相信神的话。她一相信，事就成了！在这种情况之下，唯有全心相信，并向主清心的人，才能得见神（马太福音五：8；希伯来书十二：14）。
神总是如此与祂的百姓相交。马利亚看不到在天堂所有的安排，也看不到众多天使预备好要保护她和她的婴儿。她不知道将来如何，也不清楚自己和婴儿会遭遇什么事。她所知道的就是神对她说话，这就足够了。所以，她回答：[我是主的使女，情愿照你的话成就在我的身上。]（路加福音一：38）
当神宣告祂的计划时，万事已经就绪要成就祂的话。神从不说不肯定的话，祂清楚知道会发生什么事。祂只要你能够相信祂。若你完全信任祂，你会经历到极大的祝福。马利亚未曾想过全然顺服的结果是什么。同样地，你也无法想像当你完全相信神的时候，神在你身上的作为是什么。祂知道如何把救恩带给你所代祷的人，或医治你的朋友，或供应你的需要。神已经使万事就绪。你相信祂吗？
Blessed in Believing
“Blessed is she who believed, for there will
be a fulfillment of those things which were told her from the Lord.” (Luke 1:45)
In
the kingdom of God, believing is a prerequisite to receiving. God spoke to Mary
and gave the assurances He always gives when He assigns the impossible to His
people. Everything was in place for God to act. Everything waited on Mary to
believe Him. Once she believed, it was done! It takes an undivided heart to
believe under such circumstances and a pure heart to see God (Matt. 5:8; Heb.
12:14).
This
has always been God’s way with His people. Mary could not see all that had been
arranged and assembled in the courts of heaven. She could not see the legions
of angels prepared to protect her and her baby. She was unaware of the future
and all that she and her child would face. All she knew was that God had spoken
to her, and that was enough. So she responded: “Behold the maidservant of the
Lord! Let it be to me according to your word” (Luke 1:38).
When
God speaks about His plans, He does so with everything already in place to
fulfill His word. God never speaks hypothetically. He knows exactly what will
come to pass. He simply asks you to believe Him. You will experience great
blessing when you place your absolute trust in Him. Mary could not have dreamed
all that would result from her faithful obedience. Likewise, you cannot
possibly imagine all that God has in store for you when you trust Him. He knows
exactly what He will do to bring salvation to someone you have prayed for or to
heal your friend or to provide for your needs. God has everything in place.
Will you believe Him?
