541 中翻英 (241)Without faith it is impossible to please God. 沒有信心絕不可能取悅上帝. 10/4/2023
十月四日晨曦默思啟示信徒要取悅上帝必須要具備信心. 我們若遵照祂的旨意求, 祂就應允.
「我們若照祂的旨意求什么,祂就听我們,這是我們向祂所存坦然無懼的心。」 (約壹 5:14 新國際版)
信心只能在神旨意的范圍里,自由發揮它的功效。在神旨意之外,我們盡管憑信心去呼喊、去相信、去行動、并去作其它的活動,但卻見不到顯然的效果,因為這樣做神并不支持我們。如果我們憑著自己的方法來試著相信,我們只會證明:即便有像山那么大的信心,也不能移去像芥菜种那樣小的困難!我們憑著自己美好的意思所采取的行動,神必不負責。神的能力是儲備在祂的旨意里。只要一切的事情都确實在神的旨意中,就縱使遇到最大的試煉,我們仍然可以坦然無懼,因「祂正在垂听我們!」(約壹5:14)
每一次信徒有缺乏的時候,必須先查問:這樣的缺乏影響到神否?是否神要我這樣的缺乏!當你看見神的旨意是要供給你的需要之后,你就可以成功祂的旨意。當你明白神的旨意后,你現在就應當因著你所明白的神的旨意而禱告,要神成功祂的旨意。現在的問題并非你有缺乏,你當得著供給,乃是神的旨意當得著成功。

“This is the confidence we have in Him, if we ask
anything according to His will, He hears us.” (1 John 5:14)
Faith can only freely exert its effect within the
scope of God's will. Although we call, believe, act, and perform other
activities with faith outside of God's will, we cannot see obvious results
because God does not support us in doing so. If we try to believe on our own
terms, we will only prove that even a mountain of faith cannot remove a problem
as small as a mustard seed! God is not responsible for the actions we take
based on our own good intentions. God's power is stored in His will. As long as
everything is indeed in God's will, even if we encounter the greatest trial, we
can still have confidence because "He is hearing us!" (1 John 5:14)
Every time a believer is in need, he must first
ask: Does this lack affect God? Does God want me to be so lacking? When you see
that God's will is to provide for your needs, you can accomplish His will.
After you understand God's will, you should now pray based on what you
understand about God's will, asking God to accomplish His will. The problem now
is not that you are lacking and that you should be supplied, but that God's
will should be accomplished.
