荒漠甘泉 Streams in the Desert

使我們復活

經文: 「你是叫我們多經歷重大急難的，必使我們復活。」（詩七十一20）

上帝是叫我們經歷急難的。有時，祂教我們進入「地的深處」（賽四十四23），行走隱秘的道路，埋在死人中間；雖然這樣，上帝和我們中間的交通和聯合是沒有一刻間斷的。上帝既叫我們進入「深處」，也必從「深處」帶領我們出來。

信徒阿，你不要對上帝懷疑！你不要說上帝已經棄絕你了、忘記你了。你不要想祂不和你表同情。白日無論如何長，總要完結的。冬日雪無論如何厚，總要融化的。

你當站住；你的工作不是徒然的。上帝必安慰你。那時，你就要高唱凱歌了。──選


Quicken Us

Scripture: "Thou, who hast showed us many and sore troubles, wilt quicken us again" (Ps. 71:20, RV).

God shows us the troubles. Sometimes, as this part of our education is being carried forward, we have to descend into "the lower parts of the earth," pass through subterranean passages, lie buried amongst the dead, but never for a moment is the cord of fellowship and union between God and us strained to breaking; and from the depths God will bring us again.

Never doubt God! Never say that He has forsaken or forgotten. Never think that He is unsympathetic. He will quicken again. There is always a smooth piece in every skein, however tangled. The longest day at last rings out the evensong. The winter snow lies long, but it goes at last.

Be steadfast; your labor is not in vain. God turns again, and comforts. And when He does, the heart which had forgotten its Psalmody breaks out in jubilant song, as does the Psalmist: "I will thank thee, I will harp unto thee, my lips shall sing aloud." --Selected
