行动自如
经文: 「我必使他们倚靠我,得以坚固;一举一动必奉我的名。」(撒迦利亚书十︰12)
这经文是病痛中信徒的一帖安慰剂。当他们缠绵病榻,体力孱弱,难免陷入忧
惧的幽谷,但全能的大医生可以除掉我们的病痛,挪开我们的软弱,使我们刚强健壮,
因为只要「在耶稣里」一切的应许都是肯定的。我们的能力,若靠着自己,不但有限,
且容易自义;若靠着上帝,则源头不竭,且带来神人的契合。
我们的日子如何,力量也如何。我们的一举一动都奉主的名,大病初愈,能够
自由行动,是多么喜悦的事!尤其在主里得以健壮,更是令人快慰的事!主给祂的百姓
有这样的自由,能到处走动,也给我们内心的平安舒坦,来行使这自由。我们不再是工
作或金钱的奴仆,我们自在地到处旅行,享受主所赐的平安生活。
来吧,我的心,勿再受伤软弱;上帝叫你健壮与祂同行,就让我们默然靠主,
听从祂慈爱的吩咐吧!
Free to Travel
Scripture: "And I will strengthen them in the LORD: and they shall walk up
and down in His Name, saith the LORD" (Zechariah 10:12).
A solace for sick saints. They have grown faint, and they fear that
they shall never rise from the bed of doubt and fear; but the Great
Physician can both remove the disease and take away the weakness which has
come of it. He will strengthen the feeble. This He will do in the best
possible way, for it shall be "in Jehovah." Our strength is far better in
God than in self. In the LORD it causes fellowship, in ourselves it would
create pride. In ourselves it would be sadly limited, but in God it knows no
bound.
When strength is given, the believer uses it. He walks up and down
in the name of the LORD. What an enjoyment it is to walk abroad after
illness, and what a delight to be strong in the LORD after a season of
prostration! The LORD gives His people liberty to walk up and down and an
inward leisure to exercise that liberty. He makes gentlemen of us: we are
not slaves who know no rest and see no sights, but we are free to travel at
our ease throughout Immanuel's land.
Come, my heart, be thou no more sick and sorry; Jesus bids thee be
strong and walk with God in holy contemplation. Obey His word of love. |
