經文: 「我的盼望是從祂而來。」(詩篇六十二:5)

若信徒想從世界獲得什麼,結果會令他蠻失望的。若他轉向求告耶和華上帝,無論是物質上的,或精神上的需要,他必得著滿足。慈愛的天上父那兒,有無限的恩典,只要我們憑著信心來到祂的施恩寶座前求,上帝必使祂的應許兑現,絕不使祂的兒女空手而回,因此我要等候在上帝面前,從祂展開的雙臂中得著福份。
<BR> 基督徒不但有今生的祝福,更有來生的盼望。不久我們既將離世,與上帝同在,我們的盼望實在是從祂而來。難道臨死前,我們不巴望有天使來接我們回天家?我們深信,在我們氣息微弱,溘然長逝前,奉差的天使正以溫柔的眼神望著臨終前的我們,並以溫柔的聲音向我們低語:「主所愛的靈魂,來吧!」我們渴望這時刻的到來,能像我們榮耀的主一樣──「主若顯現,我們必要像祂,因為必得祂的真體」(約壹三:2)。喔,我的全人哪,為主而活吧,若我有千條性命,也願擺上為榮耀主而活,因為我的能力、盼望,一切的一切都由祂而來。

Scripture: "My expectation is from him."(Psalm 62:5)

It is the believer's privilege to use this language. If he is looking for aught from the world, it is a poor "expectation" indeed. But if he looks to God for the supply of his wants, whether in temporal or spiritual blessings, his "expectation" will not be a vain one. Constantly he may draw from the bank of faith, and get his need supplied out of the riches of God's lovingkindness. This I know, I had rather have God for my banker than all the Rothschilds. My Lord never fails to honour his promises; and when we bring them to his throne, he never sends them back unanswered. Therefore I will wait only at his door, for he ever opens it with the hand of munificent grace. At this hour I will try him anew. But we have "expectations" beyond this life. We shall die soon; and then our "expectation is from him." Do we not expect that when we lie upon the bed of sickness he will send angels to carry us to his bosom? We believe that when the pulse is faint, and the heart heaves heavily, some angelic messenger shall stand and look with loving eyes upon us, and whisper, "Sister spirit, come away!" As we approach the heavenly gate, we expect to hear the welcome invitation, "Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world." We are expecting harps of gold and crowns of glory; we are hoping soon to be amongst the multitude of shining ones before the throne; we are looking forward and longing for the time when we shall be like our glorious Lord—for "We shall see him as he is." Then if these be thine "expectations," O my soul, live for God; live with the desire and resolve to glorify him from whom cometh all thy supplies, and of whose grace in thy election, redemption, and calling, it is that thou hast any "expectation" of coming glory.
