1月2日 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,那么当有人问你在干什么时,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--“你期望做些什么?”你根本不知道该做什么,你唯一知道的,是神知道他在做什么。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。“不要为生活谋算……也不要为身体担忧。”你“出去”之前,这些东西都不要再理会了。你是否不住地追问神,他将做些什么,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”,那么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,这种心情并非以任何狭隘的方式来表达,乃是藉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.
