263中翻英 (14) Be rejoice in the God of my salvation.因救我的上帝喜樂.  1/11/2023

朋友們，要靠救我們的上帝喜樂。今天的曠野的筵席是，請在主內受苦難的信徒要靠主喜樂。

「然而我要因耶和華歡欣，因救我的神喜樂。」（哈巴谷書  3:18）

當那位加利利的孩童，把五個餅交給主耶穌以后，主如何處理呢？主就將它擘開。神常常將那些奉獻給祂的東西擘開。凡祂所接納的，祂就擘開，然后祝福，并使它們去應付世人的需要。你和我豈不是有同樣實在的經歷么？你把自己奉獻給神，立即你要發現一切的事情都很不順利，以致你內心起伏不安，誤解了主在你身上所帶領的道路。這种矛盾不安的心境，如果繼續存在，那就證明你正在被擘開。但這到底有何目的呢？因在已往的日子，你太屬于世界，太容易給世界所使用，但你卻不夠讓神來使用。這就是許多基督徒所遭遇的難題和悲劇。我們是否樂意給神使用？如果樂意，那就該天天繼續不斷的將自己交在祂手里，不要不滿意祂所帶領的道路。只要以贊美和期待的心情來接 受祂的安排。

"But I will rejoice in the LORD, I will rejoice in the God of my salvation." (Hab 3:18)

When the Galilee boy brought his bread to Jesus, what did Jesus do with it? He broke it . God will always break what is offered to Him.   He breaks what He takes, then blesses, and uses it to meet men’s needs. Is not this true to your experience and mine ? You give yourself to the Lord, and at once everything goes so badly wrong that you are tempted to find fault with His ways.  To persist in such an attitude is to be broken, yes indeed , but to what purpose?  You have gone too far for the world to use you but you have not gone far enough for God. This is the tragedy and the problems of many a Christian.  Do we want Him to use us? If you are willing, then you should be day by day to entrust yourself to Him,  not finding fault with His methods but accepting His handling of us with praise and expectation.
