1月2日竭诚为主

12 你肯不肯不知去向就出去?

出去的时候,还不知往哪里去。(来十一8

你曾否这样出去?若有,那麽当有人问你在干什麽时,你简直没有合逻辑的话可以回答。作神的工其中一个难题就是--你期望做些什麽?你根本不知道该做什麽,你唯一知道的,是神知道他在做什麽。要经常审查自己对神的态度,看看是否竭尽所能、完全信靠神。这种态度使你不住地稀奇,因你不知道神下一步会怎样做。每天清晨醒来,就是新的出去,建立对神的靠赖。不要爲生活谋算……也不要爲身体担忧。出去之前,这些东西都不要再理会了。你是否不住地追问神,他将做些什麽,神决不会告诉你。神不会告诉你他怎样行事,他只会向你显明他是谁。你相信神是行神迹的神吗?你肯不肯顺命出去,对他所作的一切,一点也不诧异?

假若神真是你亲近他时所认识的神,忧虑是何等不当哩!让我们的生命不断地靠着神出去,那麽生命会奇妙得难以形容,且叫耶稣心满意足。你一定要好好学习从信念、教条、经验中出来,直至你与神之间,已全无隔膜。

祈祷主啊,我对祢渴慕的心是何等热切地加增,这种心情幷非以任何狭隘的方式来表达,乃是借着荣耀的方式表现出来--更完全的实现祢的圣洁。


January 2 Will You Go Out
Without Knowing?

“He went out, not knowing whither he went.” Hebrews 11:8

Have you been “out” in this
way? If so, there is no logical statement possible when anyone asks you what
you are doing. One of the difficulties in Christian work is this question –
“What do you expect to do?” You do not know what you are going to do; the only
thing you know is that God knows what He is doing. Continually revise your
attitude towards God and see if it is a going out of everything, trusting in
God entirely. It is this attitude that keeps you in perpetual wonder – you do
not know what God is going to do next. Each morning you wake it is to be a
“going out,” building in confidence on God. “Take no thought for your life, . .
. nor yet for your body” – take no thought for the things for which you did
take thought before you “went out.”

Have you been asking God
what He is going to do? He will never tell you. God does not tell you what He
is going to do; He reveals to you Who He is. Do you believe in a
miracle-working God, and will you go out in surrender to Him until you are not
surprised an atom at anything He does?

Suppose God is the God you
know Him to be when you are nearest to Him – what an impertinence worry is! Let
the attitude of the life be a continual “going out” in dependence upon God, and
your life will have an ineffable charm about it which is a satisfaction to
Jesus. You have to learn to go out of convictions, out of creeds, out of
experiences, until so far as your faith is concerned, there is nothing between
yourself and God.
