583 中翻英 (283) I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. 我靠著那加給我力量的，凡事都能做 . 11/16/2023

583 中翻英 (283)                I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.                                                                                          我靠著那加給我力量的，凡事都能做 .                                                              11/16/2023           

 我們在天上的父上帝,     孩子靠著祢加給的力量，凡事都能做.    求主在上帝裡對孩子再施憐憫.    使我知足.   我們日用的一切祢都賜給.   奉主耶穌基督的名禱告.     阿們.      

十一月十六日的晨曦甘露是主的孩們必須品嚐的恩典.   我們當負主耶穌基督的軛.   因為祂的軛是輕省的.     主耶穌基督心里柔和謙卑,   是我們要學的樣式.   親愛的的訪友,   編輯者有很多的經驗,   當我們離開主的軛時,   我們就入了魔鬼的圈套.  

「我心里柔和謙卑，你們當負我的軛，學我的樣式。」（太   11:29 新國際版）

負主的軛是什么意思？這乃指著甘心樂意，愿在神的計划里与主同工合作。當然軛會限制牛的行動，叫它不能任意在田間四處游蕩，而且必須按直線向前。惟獨如此，工作才有成效。在此，我們看見了心里謙卑的价值。心里謙卑的人，是從不為自己圖謀大事，但卻愿意接受神所指派給他的托付与地位，即使至低至微，也在所不計。

在馬太福音第十一章我們看見，主公開的職事從表面看，好像是失敗了，因為只有那些嬰孩明白并接受祂的教訓。我們對主的遭遇也許要喊出：「何等的失尊啊！」但主的話卻是：「父阿，我感謝你，因為你的美意本是如此。」（太   11:20）主沒有為自己圖謀什么，祂全然樂意接受神所命定的。而我們現在的問題乃是：我們是否甘心樂意地接受主的限制，而与祂同行呢？因為最深的安息，乃是「在我們心里的安息。」

"Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, ...."     (Matthew 11:29 NIV )

What does it mean to bear the yoke of the Lord? This means being willing to surrander and to cooperate with the Lord in God’s plan. Of course, the yoke will restrict the movement of the cow, so that it cannot wander around the field as it is at its will, and must move according to master commander going straight forward on a line. Only in this way it can work correctively.  Here we see the value of humility of heart. Hence, we can see a humble heart being worthwhile.  For it is  never plans big things for himself, but is willing to accept the trust and position assigned to him by God, no matter how humble or small.  It does not matter.

In Matthew Chapter 11,  we see that the Lord’s public ministry seemed to have failed on the  outwardly, because only the babies understood and accepted His teachings. We may cry out at the Lord's encounter, "How meaningless it is!" But the Lord's words are, "Father, I thank you, for Your Words are so good." (Matthew 11:20) The Lord did not do it for Himself. No matter what He planned, He was fully willing to accept what God ordained. Our question now is: Are we willing to surrander for accepting the Lord’s limitations and walk with Him? Because the deepest rest is “the rest in our hearts.”
