8月11日 必會臨到的經歷
以後不再見他了。（王下二12）
倚賴以利亞是沒有錯的，只要是神把他給你；可是別忘記，總有一天他會離開。他不再做你的領導，因為神認為他不應該再做你的領導。你會說：“沒有以利亞，我無法前行。”但神說你一定要前行。
獨自在你的約但（14節）。約但是分離的表徵，表示再沒有人與你相交，沒有人分擔你的責任。你必須把從以利亞學習所得的，拿出來考驗。你跟以利亞過約但河不知有多少次了，但如今你得獨自面對。空說不能過，是沒有用處的。這事已經臨到，你必定要前行。你若要知道神是否如你所信的一樣，就得單獨過你的約但河。
獨自在你的耶利哥（15節）。你曾在耶利哥看見以利亞行大事，但當你來到自己的耶利哥，就退縮，不肯主動去信靠神，只想別人去替你擔當。可是，你若遵從以利亞所學的，就必得著神與你同在。
獨自在你的伯利恒（23節）。在伯利恒你來到自己才智的盡頭，這卻是神智慧的開端。千萬不可在智窮力竭時，僕倒恐慌之中，要緊靠著神，忠於他，他自有方法把真理顯明，使你的生命成聖。把你跟以利亞所學的行出來，用他的外衣和他的祈禱。立志信靠神，不要再尋找你的以利亞了。
祈禱◆主啊，我的生命是如此傾斜，如此充滿漏洞，求你今天讓我全神貫注於你！願我回到你的家中，重新過著完全倚靠你的生活。
August 11 This Experience Must Come
“And he saw him no more.” 2 Kings 2:12
It is not wrong to depend upon Elijah as long as God gives him to you,
but remember the time will come when he will have to go; when he stands no more
to you as your guide and leader, because God does not intend he should. You say
– “I cannot go on without Elijah.” God says you must.
Alone at your Jordan. v.14. Jordan is the type of separation where there
is no fellowship with anyone else, and where no one can take the responsibility
for you. You have to put to the test now what you learned when you were with
your Elijah. You have been to Jordan over and over again with Elijah, but now
you are up against it alone. It is no use saying you cannot go; this experience
has come, and you must go. If you want to know whether God is the God you have
faith to believe Him to be, then go through your Jordan alone.
Alone at your Jericho. v.15. Jericho is the place where you have seen
your Elijah do great things. When you come to your Jericho you have a strong
disinclination to take the initiative and trust in God, you want someone else
to take it for you. If you remain true to what you learned with Elijah, you
will get the sign that God is with you.
Alone at your Bethel. v.23. At your Bethel you will find yourself at
your wits’ end and at the beginning of God’s wisdom. When you get to your wits’
end and feel inclined to succumb to panic, don’t; stand true to God and He will
bring His truth out in a way that will make your life a sacrament. Put into
practice what you learned with your Elijah, use his cloak and pray. Determine
to trust in God and do not look for Elijah any more.
