神一直在試圖教導你什麼

神試圖教你什麼?

We go to college to be taught a specific course of study that we selected.  How do we know what God wants to teach us?  It’s not just the what, but also the how and why He wants to teach us.  How do we listen to Him for anything?

有時候,神的訊息可能不是我們可以聽到的聲音。有時候,它是通過一場講道。在過去的一年中,有沒有一場特別觸動我們的講道或信息?有沒有聖經中的一本書在我們閱讀時,感覺像神在對我們說話?有時候,它可能只是通過與教會成員的一次對話。那位成員讓你想起了神的原則和教導。或者有時候,它可能與靈性事物完全無關,但似乎神正在利用那些事情教你一些東西。不管是什麼,我們需要思考和反思,“神在這一年裡試圖教導我們什麼呢?”

I remember my first year in college. It was the first week of school. I remember that I was sitting on the school bus and I was thinking the question, “What am I doing here in this school?” Because I applied to six universities but I only got into one school. I think I had pretty good grades but only one accepted me. The first week I was there, I was thinking about “Well, God must have a purpose for me to be here in this school.” Particularly on that bus ride, I was thinking about that question. When I got off the bus, and as I was walking through the campus, it probably was a message from God, I don’t think it was just a coincidence, I ran into my high school friend in the courtyard. This high school friend was one of the first people I brought to church.  I tried to preach to him. After catching up with him, as I was walking, I was thinking “Oh, God just answered my question.” What am I doing here? God was reminding me that I need to preach the gospel here.

我們在這一年中可能有不同的經歷,神試圖以某種方式鼓勵和警告我們。我希望我們不要忘記這些教訓。那些時光過得如此之快,但讓我們不要忘記這些教訓。

一個月前,我和一位姊妹聊天。這位姊妹最近剛生了孩子。她在思考並祈禱這個問題:“我應該待在家裡陪孩子們,還是我應該繼續工作?”她不斷地為此祈禱。她真的很猶豫。在一次祈禱中,她聽到神對她說話。她聽到主耶穌告訴她 “讓他們看到我在你身上” ,這裡的他們指的是孩子們。當她聽到這個的時候,她意識到, “好吧,如果他們需要在我身上看到基督,那意味著我應該待在家裡陪我的孩子。” 她將這個信息銘記在心,決定辭掉工作,全職做媽媽。

神並不一定要像這樣清楚地向你說話,但神有很多種方式來說話。有時候是在小小的溫柔聲音中,有時候是通過其他人、經文、講道。我們應該將這些信息記在心裡,思考它們,永遠不要忘記它們。

對我自己來說,幾個月前有一段時間,我感到很沮喪。我認為這是信仰和生活的一部分。即使作為一個傳道人,前方的道路也並非總是蔚藍的天空。那時候,我也感到主耶穌在鼓勵我。不是透過任何我聽到的聲音,而是有時候,是透過見證神在其他人身上的工作。我感覺神試圖與我分享的信息是 “在行善中不要喪志” 。

“我們行善,若不灰心,到了時候就要收成。” 加拉太書 6:9

有時候我們可能覺得我們在做主的工作上付出了很多精力和努力。有時候,如果我們覺得成果不多,我們可能會感到沮喪。或者,即使相反的情況發生,那也可能讓人感到沮喪。

聖經告訴我們,在行善中不要喪志。如果我們持續做我們知道應該做的事,神最終會顯現自己。我們應該繼續行善,不要喪志。
