4月21日 不要傷主的心！
腓力，我與你們同在這樣長久，你還不認識我嗎？（約十四9）
我們的主必定時常感到驚愕，稀奇我們為何不夠單純。人的主見，常顯明自己的愚昧；我們若單純一點，就不會愚昧，就能時時懂得分辨了。腓力期望獲得神秘莫測的啟示，卻不從他所認識的主身上去找。神的奧秘並不在於將成的事，乃在現今；雖然我們預期那奧秘會在將來一些震撼、歷史性的事件中揭示出來。我們順服耶穌並不遲疑；但我們所發的問題，可能傷透他的心：“求主將父顯給我們看。”他立刻回答說：“他就在這裡，一直在這裡，不在別處。”我們期望神向他兒女顯現，但是，神卻只在他兒女裡面彰顯他自己。當別人看見他，神的兒女卻看不見。我們想要感覺到神在我們裡面作工；但我們不能一面敏感於自己的意識，一面又保持清晰的頭腦。我們若求神給我們經歷，或追求感覺，就會傷主的心。我們所發的問題傷了主的心，因為那原不是兒女應問的問題。
“你們心裡不要憂愁。”——我是否任由我的心憂慮、傷主的心？我若真正相信主，我的生活是否與信心相稱？我有沒有讓什麼煩擾我？有什麼可怕的問題進來？我必須與主心心相印，以致我能接受一切臨到我的事，都是從他而來的。神的引導從不延遲，他總是現在就引導。只要明白主是此時此地的主，就必即時大得釋放。
祈禱◆噢，主啊，在這新一天，願你的恩典幫助我完全感受到你的接近和你的大能。讓我面對著你的榮耀，以致我可以“變成主的形狀，榮上加榮。”

21 Now Don’t Hurt The Lord!
“Have I been so long time with you, and yet
hast thou not known Me, Philip?” John 14:9
Our Lord must be repeatedly astounded at
us – astounded at how un-simple we are. It is opinions of our own which make us
stupid, when we are simple we are never stupid, we discern all the time. Philip
expected the revelation of a tremendous mystery, but not in the One Whom he
knew. The mystery of God is not in what is going to be, it is now; we look for
it presently, in some cataclysmic event. We have no reluctance in obeying
Jesus, but it is probable that we are hurting Him by the questions we ask.
“Lord, show us the Father.” His answer comes straight back – “There He is,
always here or nowhere.” We look for God to manifest Himself to His children:
God only manifests Himself in His children. Other people see the manifestation,
the child of God does not. We want to be conscious of God; we cannot be
conscious of our consciousness and remain sane. If we are asking God to give us
experiences, or if conscious experience is in the road, we hurt the Lord. The
very questions we ask hurt Jesus because they are not the questions of a child.
“Let not your heart be troubled” – then am I
hurting Jesus by allowing my heart to be troubled? If I believe the character
of Jesus, am I living up to my belief? Am I allowing anything to perturb my
heart, any morbid questions to come in? I have to get to the implicit
relationship that takes everything as it comes from Him. God never guides
presently, but always now. Realize that the Lord is here now, and the
emancipation is immediate.
