410 中翻英 (110) God's grace is enough for us. 上帝的恩典够我們用. 6/7/2023
六月七日的曠野筵席是特別大餐. 主內的訪友儘管享用, 直至你們飲用享受盡性為止.
「因為耶和華以色列的神如此說,缸內的面必不減少,瓶里的油必不缺短」 (王上 17:14 新國際版)
我們在這世界上是神的代表,要在此證明和彰顯祂的信實。我們的態度、言語、行為都必須宣告祂是我們唯一的供應源頭這件事實。所以,特別要緊的是在錢財的事情上,我們應當真實的不依賴人,而全然倚靠神。如果我們在這事上有什么軟弱,祂該得的榮耀就被削減了。我們作神的仆人,必須顯出祂資源的丰富,我們不必懼怕在人面前表現富裕。我不是建議你們去裝作,但這一個態度是与誠實完全一致的。讓我們將自己錢財上的需要保密,即使在困境中而別人還因此誤認我們席丰履厚,也在所不計。那位在暗中察看的神,會顧念我們一切的需要,祂會無限量的供給我們 --- 乃是「照著祂在基督耶穌里榮耀的丰富」(腓4:19)。我們敢于為神制造難處,因為祂不需要我們幫助祂就能行出神跡。
June 7"For this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, say: "The jar of flour will not be used up, and the jug of oil will not run dry ......." (1 Kings 17:14 NIV)
We are God's representatives in this world for testifying and demonstrating His faithfulness. Our attitudes, words, and deeds must testify that the Lord is our only source of supply. Therefore, it is particularly important on the money matters that we should truly not depend on man but fully depend on God. If we have any weakness in this matter, His glory is hence diminished. As God's servants, we must demonstrate the richness of His resources, and we need not be afraid to appear rich in front of others. I'm not suggesting you to be pretended, but this attitude is completely consistent with honesty. Let us not to show our financial secret, even when we are in trouble. The others think we are rich. God knows and He will take care of all our needs. God will meet all our needs according to "His glorious riches in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19). We dare to make things difficult for God because He can do miracles with Himself.
