8月11日 必会临到的经历
以后不再见他了。（王下二12）
倚赖以利亚是没有错的，只要是神把他给你；可是别忘记，总有一天他会离开。他不再做你的领导，因为神认为他不应该再做你的领导。你会说：“没有以利亚，我无法前行。”但神说你一定要前行。
独自在你的约但（14节）。约但是分离的表征，表示再没有人与你相交，没有人分担你的责任。你必须把从以利亚学习所得的，拿出来考验。你跟以利亚过约但河不知有多少次了，但如今你得独自面对。空说不能过，是没有用处的。这事已经临到，你必定要前行。你若要知道神是否如你所信的一样，就得单独过你的约但河。
独自在你的耶利哥（15节）。你曾在耶利哥看见以利亚行大事，但当你来到自己的耶利哥，就退缩，不肯主动去信靠神，只想别人去替你担当。可是，你若遵从以利亚所学的，就必得着神与你同在。
独自在你的伯利恒（23节）。在伯利恒你来到自己才智的尽头，这却是神智慧的开端。千万不可在智穷力竭时，仆倒恐慌之中，要紧靠着神，忠于他，他自有方法把真理显明，使你的生命成圣。把你跟以利亚所学的行出来，用他的外衣和他的祈祷。立志信靠神，不要再寻找你的以利亚了。
祈祷◆主啊，我的生命是如此倾斜，如此充满漏洞，求你今天让我全神贯注于你！愿我回到你的家中，重新过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.
