2月9日 你的灵疲惫不堪吗？
永在的 神耶和华……幷不疲乏，也不困倦。（赛四十28）
疲惫就是生命的活力耗尽。属灵的疲惫幷非因罪而来，而是因事奉而来。你疲惫与否，就视乎你的供应从何而得。耶稣对彼得说：“喂养我的羊。”却没有给他饲料。要成爲擘开的饼，倒出来的酒，就必须要耗尽你的一点一滴，所以你要赶快得着供应，否则不需多久，你就精疲力竭了。人未懂得直接向主汲取供应之前，他们要透过你去获得；你要像被人吮吸一般，直到他们学会了从神得养料。我们在神面前有这责任，不但要尽忠于他，也要爲他的羊群尽上一切。
你事奉神的方式是否令你疲惫不堪？若然，就该重新挑旺你的热诚。你的事奉从哪里出发？是从你个人的同情心，还是基于耶稣基督的救赎？要追溯你热诚的根源，幷回想你能力来自何方。你没有权这样说：“主啊，我多麽困倦。”他拯救你，叫你成圣，正是要燃烧你。爲神耗尽吧，但紧记你的供应从他而来。“我的泉源都在你里面。”
祈祷◆噢，主啊，我所渴求的是你！“我的心渴想神，就是永生神，我几时得朝见神呢？”噢，愿你的感动、你的生命、你的美善，此刻临到我，主啊，就在我祷告的这一刻。
February 9 Are You Exhausted
Spiritually?
The everlasting God . . . neither faints
nor is weary —Isaiah 40:28
Exhaustion means that our vital energies are completely worn out and
spent. Spiritual exhaustion is never the result of sin, but of service. Whether
or not you experience exhaustion will depend on where you get your supplies.
Jesus said to Peter, “Feed My sheep,” but He gave him nothing with which to
feed them (John 21:17). The process of being made broken bread and poured-out
wine means that you have to be the nourishment for other people’s souls until
they learn to feed on God. They must drain you completely— to the very last
drop. But be careful to replenish your supply, or you will quickly be utterly
exhausted. Until others learn to draw on the life of the Lord Jesus directly,
they will have to draw on His life through you. You must literally be their
source of supply, until they learn to take their nourishment from God. We owe
it to God to be our best for His lambs and sheep, as well as for Him.
Have you delivered yourself over to exhaustion because of the way you
have been serving God? If so, then renew and rekindle your desires and
affections. Examine your reasons for service. Is your source based on your own
understanding or is it grounded on the redemption of Jesus Christ? Continually
look back to the foundation of your love and affection and remember where your
Source of power lies. You have no right to complain, “O Lord, I am so
exhausted.” He saved and sanctified you to exhaust you. Be exhausted for God,
but remember that He is your supply. “All my springs are in you” (Psalm 87:7).
