367  中翻英  (97)    Did I obey willingly God's will ?    我甘心 樂意順從上帝的旨意了嗎?         4/25/2023  

親愛的主內訪友，如何我們才能甘心的順從上帝的旨意?     在今天的曠野筵席中擺滿了各式各樣的菜餚，有山珍海味，也有清淡的蔬菜水果。上帝是公義的，有人被主按手做牧師，有的却做招待引人入座的事工，都是服事主。希望走到人生的盡頭，我們能夠像保羅一樣的說，"當跑的路，我已經跑盡了。"（提后   4:7）

「.... 与王同處，為王做工。」（代上     4:23  新國際版  ）

大衛王有許多勇士，其中有些是將軍，有些是看門的，這些人都是按著王所指定的崗位，各守其職。我們必須甘心樂意，接受神所賜給我們的那一份。或作將軍或作看門，是照著神的意思，不是憑著自己的選擇。如果你是一個基督徒，就該知道，神早已為你標明一條該走的道路。使徒保羅在提后四章七節稱之為「路程」。神不單為保羅標出一條道路，也為祂每一個儿女個別標出一條道路。因此最要緊的，就是每一個神的儿女，都應明了并行走在神為他所指定的路程上。「主阿，我只有這愿望，就是將自己獻給你，讓你帶領我，在你所命定的道路上往前。」這就是真正的奉獻。如果到了一生的盡頭，我們能夠和保羅一同說：「當跑的路，我已經跑盡了。」（提后4:7）那我們就真是有福了。我們在地上的生命只活一次，而最悲慘的，乃是當我們到生之終時，才知道自己以往所走的，是一條錯誤的道路。

"...... ; they stayed there and worked for the king." (1 Chronicles 4:23 NIV)

King David had many warriors, some of whom were generals, and some were gatekeepers. These people all held their positions according to the positions appointed by the king. We must be willing to accept what God has given us. Whether to be a general or a gatekeeper is according to God's will, not according to one's own choice. If you are a Christian, you should know that God has already marked a path for you to take. The apostle Paul calls it "the journey" in 2 Timothy 4:7. God not only marked out a way for Paul, but also for each of His children individually. Therefore, the most important thing is that every child of God should understand and walk on the path God has appointed for him. "Lord, I have only this desire, and that is to give myself to You to lead me in the way You have appointed me to go." That's true consecration. If at the end of our lives, we can say with Paul, "I have finished my course" (2 Timothy 4:7), then we are truly blessed. We only live one life on earth, and the most tragic thing is when we come to the end, we realize that we have been on a wrong path.
