大山夷為平地
經文: ��「大山哪，你算甚麼呢？在所羅巴伯面前，你必成為平地。他必搬出一塊石頭，安在殿頂上。人且大聲歡呼說：願恩惠歸與這殿。」（撒迦利亞書四︰7）'W
此刻在你的人生道路上，或許荊棘滿佈，困難重重，看不出有任何的亮光或出路，但憑信心仰望上帝，頭頂還有一片青天，你不會被困住的，所謂山窮水盡疑無路，柳暗花明又一村，將需要與難處交託給上帝，上帝必要將山一般高大的攔阻挪開，為你開一條路。但信心來自於上帝的話︰「不是依靠才能，不是依靠勢力，乃是靠著聖靈的大能。」當我們遭遇人生風暴大浪時，這個顛撲不破的真理，將成為內心一個穩若磐石時的靈錨，讓我們可以求告，可以依靠，渡過一切的磨難與考驗。�
我知道我什麼都不能做，而且依靠人也是枉然。「不是依靠才能」，因為眼所能見的東西都不可靠，惟有眼不能見的聖靈才是可靠的。上帝單獨可以做成這事工，人的籌算計劃都屬虛空。既是如此，全能的上帝若插手管這件事，在祂是沒有難成的事，祂可以移動地球，像小孩踢足球一樣。上帝可以把這樣的能力賜給我們，若上帝要我們移動阿爾卑斯山，靠著祂的聖名，我們也能做到。它雖是世界的高峰，但靠著上帝我們可以征服它。因上帝說︰「若上帝站在我這邊，我還怕什麼嗎？」�
Mountains Turned to Plains
Scripture: "Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain; and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it" (Zechariah 4:7).
At this hour a mountain of difficulty, distress, or necessity may be in our way, and natural reason sees no path over it, or through it, or round it. Let faith come in, and straightway the mountain disappears and becomes a plain. But faith must first hear the word of the LORD--"Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the LORD of hosts." This grand truth is a prime necessity for meeting the insurmountable trials of life.
I see that I can do nothing and that all reliance on man is vanity. "Not by might." I see that no visible means can be relied on, but the force is in the invisible Spirit. God alone must work, and men and means must be nothing accounted of. If it be so that the Almighty God takes up the concerns of His people, then great mountains are nothing. He can remove worlds as boys toss balls about or drive them with their foot. This power He can lend to me. If the LORD bids me move an Alp I can do it through His name. It may be a great mountain, but even before my feebleness it shall become a plain; for the LORD hath said it. What can I be afraid of with God on my side?
