标  题: 现在是回应的时刻

经  节: 主耶和华的灵在我身上;因为耶和华用膏膏我,叫我传好信息给谦卑的人,差遣我医好伤心的人,报告被掳的得释放,被囚的出监牢;报告耶和华的恩年,和我们神报仇的日子;安慰一切悲哀的人。(以赛亚书六十一章12节)

神对时间的安排总是最好的!当祂向你启口,就是你以顺服回应的时刻。通常我们的言行举止,总好像自己掌握世界所有的时间,任我们选择去顺服祂!然而,历史并不等待我们的参与。根本没有所谓的向神延迟一个决定。我们不是选择顺服,就是选择不顺服。信与不信、顺服与不顺服,两者不可能共立。

当神宣告现在是祂的恩年时,你的下一步行动是极重要的。当神向人们开口时,人们常常自觉尚未预备好。神说:“现在是你回应我的时候。”人们的反应却是:“我还没预备好。有些事我得先处理。我太忙啦!”(马太福音八:21)神对时间的拿捏总是最完美的!祂知道你,祂完全清楚你的环境。祂知道到当前为止,祂在你身上所有的造就。祂向你提出邀请,要知道祂的资源远远超过祂所交给你的任务所需。

这就是为什么圣经告诉我们,神在乎的是我们的心。如果没有全心全意爱主,不顺服神的邀请,就会影响其他人的生命。神总是以永恒的角度,邀请我们参与祂的事工。我们不需要知道祂邀约的前因后果,只要确定这是全能神口中所发出的话语。“现在”永远是你回应神的最佳时刻!


Now
Is the Acceptable Time

“The
Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me, Because the LORD has anointed Me To preach
good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim
liberty to the captives, And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, And the day of vengeance of our
God; To comfort all who mourn. (Isaiah 61:1-2)

God’s timing is perfect! When He speaks, the time
to respond in obedience is now. We often act as if we have all the time in the
world to obey Him, but history doesn’t wait on our commitments. There is no
such thing as postponing a decision with God. Either we obey, or we disobey. It
is either faith or unbelief, obedience or disobedience.

When God announces that now is the acceptable time,
what you do next is critical. How often people have been unprepared when a word
came to them from the LORD. God said, “Now is the time for you to respond to
Me” and their response was, “But I’m not ready. I have some things I need to do
first. I’m too busy!” (Matt. 8:21). God’s timing is always perfect. He knows
you, and He is fully aware of your circumstances. He knows all that He has
built into your life until now, and He extends His invitation knowing that His
resources are more than adequate for any assignment He gives you.

That is why Scripture tells us God is concerned
with our heart. If we do not keep our heart in love with Jesus, our
disobedience when God speaks could affect the lives of others. When God speaks
it is always out of the context of eternity. We don’t have to know all the
implications of what He is asking. We just have to know that it is a word from
almighty God. “Now” is always the acceptable time to respond to the Lord!
