信心與行為

經文: ��「你當倚靠耶和華而行善，住在地上，以祂的信實為糧。」（詩篇卅七︰3）

信心與行為總是相輔相成，攜手並行，而聖靈也感動人心，按著這次序而出。我們必須先有「信心」，接著必有「行為」緊跟而出。我們依靠耶和華而行善，在地上以祂的信實為糧。因著我們信靠上帝，我們不會坐在那裡不動，我們會期盼自己被上帝所用，我們不會在那兒擔憂或做惡，我們會信靠上帝並行善。我們不只會信靠上帝，卻沒有行動表現，也不會光有外在的行為，卻沒有內心的信靠。�

艱難困阨的環境，不會把我們擊倒，因為我們信靠上帝，住在地上以祂的信實為糧。我們不會再進入埃及，反之，我們要留在以馬內利之地，認定迦南美地之約，知道此乃上帝的旨意。我們並不如仇敵所想像的，那麼容易被打敗；我們在上帝的國度，有名份有地位，仇敵絕對不輕易將我們攆出或趕走。�

至於我們日用所需的呢﹖上帝說在祂裡面有豐富的預備。上帝是錯不了的，祂的百姓必一無所缺；只要我們信靠上帝，先求上帝的國和上帝的義，上帝必供應我們一切所需，若不是叫烏鴉叼肉，就是叫寡婦供油，無論怎樣，祂總是讓我們樣樣不缺，隨時享受上帝的供應，所以我們不用為未來害怕憂愁。�


Trust and Do; Do and Trust

Scripture: "Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed" (Psalm 37:3).

Trust and do are words which go well together, in the order in which the Holy Spirit has placed them. We should have faith, and that faith should work. Trust in God sets us upon holy doing: we trust God for good, and then we do good. We do not sit still because we trust, but we arouse ourselves and expect the LORD to work through us and by us. It is not ours to worry and do evil but to trust and do good. We neither trust without doing nor do without trusting.

Adversaries would root us out if they could; but by trusting and doing we dwell in the land. We will not go into Egypt, but we will remain in Immanuel's land-the providence of God, the Canaan of covenant love. We are not so easily to be got rid of as the LORD's enemies suppose. They cannot thrust us out nor stamp us out: where God has given us a name and a place, there we abide.

But what about the supply of our necessities? The LORD has put a "verily" into this promise. As sure as God is true, His people shall be fed. It is theirs to trust and to do, and it is the LORD's to do according to their trust. If not fed by ravens, or fed by an Obadiah, or fed by a widow, yet they shall be fed somehow. Away, ye fears!
