司布真每日靈修(日) Morning by Morning

十一月二十六日

經文: 「凡你手所當作的事，要盡力去作。」（傳道書九：10）

凡你手所當做的事，意指日常可行的事；但我們發現有許多心中想做的事，卻從來沒有實踐，我們實在不能滿足於只是想想它，或是談談它而已，我們必須理想付諸行動，不能僅止於坐而言，而沒有起而行。因為行動勝於理論或空言。

我們不能自我安慰地說：「我要等待更好的機會！卻眼睜睜地讓時間白白溜逝。要知道我們僅有今生一世可活，怎可任時間虛擲荒廢？昨日已逝不可追，明日未到難掌握，我們所能利用的，只有「今日」、「現在」，切莫說我要等到屬靈經驗很豐富時，才要服事主，則為時已晚，所以從現在起就要為上帝結果子。

現在就採取行動，不要推施延宕到明天再為上帝做工，做主的工要及時趁早，不管做什麼，都要盡心盡意盡力地去做。而我們所需要的力氣，是來自於上帝而非自己。親愛的弟兄姐妹們，我們藉著信心與禱告，向上帝求取幫助，並等候上帝的祝福，堅立我們手中所做的工。


Morning, November 26

Scripture: "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might."(Ecclesiastes 9:10)

"Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do," refers to works that are possible. There are many things which our heart findeth to do which we never shall do. It is well it is in our heart; but if we would be eminently useful, we must not be content with forming schemes in our heart, and talking of them; we must practically carry out "whatsoever our hand findeth to do." One good deed is more worth than a thousand brilliant theories. Let us not wait for large opportunities, or for a different kind of work, but do just the things we "find to do" day by day. We have no other time in which to live. The past is gone; the future has not arrived; we never shall have any time but time present. Then do not wait until your experience has ripened into maturity before you attempt to serve God. Endeavour now to bring forth fruit. Serve God now, but be careful as to the way in which you perform what you find to do—"do it with thy might." Do it promptly; do not fritter away your life in thinking of what you intend to do to-morrow as if that could recompense for the idleness of to-day. No man ever served God by doing things to-morrow. If we honour Christ and are blessed, it is by the things which we do to-day. Whatever you do for Christ throw your whole soul into it. Do not give Christ a little slurred labour, done as a matter of course now and then; but when you do serve him, do it with heart, and soul, and strength.

But where is the might of a Christian? It is not in himself, for he is perfect weakness. His might lieth in the Lord of Hosts. Then let us seek his help; let us proceed with prayer and faith, and when we have done what our "hand findeth to do," let us wait upon the Lord for his blessing. What we do thus will be well done, and will not fail in its effect.
