标  题:神借着祂的作为说话

经  节:耶和华说:你们要向列国中观看,大大惊奇;因为在你们的时候,我行一件事,虽有人告诉你们,你们总是不信。(哈巴谷书一章5节)

基督徒习惯借着祷告、神的话语或祂的使者,寻求祂的心意。然而,我们有时候没有注意到,神借着祂自己的作为,要告诉我们什么事。非基督徒看到神的作为,却不了解所看见这一切事的意义。神鼓励祂的百姓要观看祂的作为,好知道如何调整生活,回应神的作为。

门徒亲眼看见耶稣发命令平静暴风雨,更认识神的大能。他们亲眼看到耶稣与声名狼籍的罪人撒该同席,因而学到一个活生生的鲜明信息,就是神爱罪人。他们看耶稣被挂在十字架上,传递了一个无法否认的信息,就是神愿意将人由罪恶中释放出来。他们发现那空的坟墓,显露出神战胜死亡的惊人真理。对那些灵性上可以分辨是非的人而言,神的作为重大地启示出祂的心和祂的旨意。

如果你一直敏锐地注意神在自己周遭的作为,祂会以祂的作为清楚地告诉你祂的心意。你会知道神在作工,因为你所看见的事令人惊讶,是人类的能力与智慧所无法解释的。如果事情的发生,直接回答了你的祈求,这是神正在对你说话。当你经历一些超过你的理解和能力之事,这可能是神正向你传递一个重要的信息。

如果你想要听神的声音,看看祂在你周围的作为。当你在看神的作为时,你会看到祂的本性,你会了解如何回应祂的话。


God
Speaks through His Activity

Look
among the nations and watch–Be utterly astounded! For I will work a work in
your days Which you would not believe, though it were told you. (Habakkuk 1:5)

Christians
habitually seek God’s voice through prayer, through His word, or through His
messengers. Yet sometimes we fail to hear God speak through His activity, even
though He is working all around us. Unbelievers see God’s activity without understanding
what they see. God encourages His people to watch for His activity so they will
know how they should respond and adjust their lives.

The
disciples discovered much about God’s power by witnessing Jesus calming a
raging storm with a command. Seeing Jesus dine with the notorious sinner,
Zacchaeus, taught them a poignant message about God’s love for sinners.
Watching Jesus hang upon the cross communicated a compelling message of what
God was willing to do to free people from sin. Discovering the empty tomb
revealed an astounding truth of God’s victory over death. To those with
spiritual discernment, God’s activity is a significant revelation about His
heart and His will.

If
you are sensitive to what God is doing around you, He will clearly speak to you
through His activity. You will know that God is at work, because what you see
will astound you, and human power and wisdom will not explain it. If things
happen that are direct answers to your prayers, God is speaking to you. When
you experience events that surpass your understanding and ability, it may be
that God is communicating a critical message to you.

If
you want to hear God’s voice, look around you to see what He is doing. When you
are watching for God at work, what you see will reveal His character, and you
will have a fresh understanding of how to respond to Him.
