標  題: 我信不足,求主幫助!

經  節: 孩子的父親立時喊著說:「我信!但我信不足,求主幫助。」(馬可福音九章24節)

無知不可能生成信心,信心乃是創建於我們的認識。我們相信他人會送給我們寶貝時,先要搞清楚他是否值得信任。這位父親要求能更深認識神,好叫他相信主能夠拯救自己的孩子。

他的兒子從童年就被魔鬼附身。這位父親不夠認識耶穌,但是他曾經聽聞過,也親眼見過,他知道如果自己的兒子還有救,除了耶穌以外,沒有任何人有辦法。他拼命地求耶穌幫助。結果,耶穌醫治了他的兒子。這位絕望的父親雖然信心不足,他仍然正確地把問題帶到耶穌的面前。

當你自覺很難有信心的時候,這不是你回避耶穌,或者為自己的掙扎羞愧的時候。若不靠耶穌,你的信心永遠不可能增加!耶穌願意幫助你、增加你的信心。祂不僅能夠滿足你的需要,也能夠賜給你信心,要相信祂的供應。

如果你正在掙扎,不確定神是否能夠供應你所需,這是因為你不瞭解祂。祂願意你去認識祂、尋求祂,讓祂使你信服,祂能滿足你一切的需求。


Help My Unbelief!

Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears,
“Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!” (Mark 9:24)

Faith does not come from ignorance. Faith is based on what we know.

Before we will trust others with something precious to us, we first try
to find out if they are trustworthy. This father was asking that he might come
to know God in such a dimension that he could trust Him to cure his son.

His son had been possessed by an evil spirit since early childhood. The
father did not know Jesus well, but he had heard and seen enough to convince
him that if there was any hope for his son, it lay with Jesus. In desperation
he cried out to Jesus for help. Jesus’ response was to heal his son. The
desperate father had correctly gone to Jesus with his problem even though he
was struggling with his faith.

When you are struggling to believe, that is not the time to avoid Christ
or to be ashamed of your struggle. You will never increase your faith by not
going to Jesus! Rather, Jesus wants to help you with your belief. He can not
only meet your need, but He will also give you faith to trust Him to provide
for you.

If you are struggling to believe that God can take care of your need, it
is because you don’t know Him as He wants you to. Go to Him and allow Him to
convince you of His ability to meet every need you will ever face.
