安靜的心

經文: ��「你們得力在乎平靜安穩。」（以賽亞書卅︰15）�

向上帝質疑抱怨，或憂慮愁煩是我們的致命傷。即使我們煩惱到面容憔悴，又有什麼用呢？我們會因恐懼煩憂，而加添一年的歲數或得到什麼？難道我們不能尋求智慧的決定？或採取當機立斷的行動？我們的心力常常耗費在這種無謂的猶疑或掙扎，其實，我們可以憑著對上帝的信心，而超越失敗，扭轉頹勢。�

喔，我們需要上帝的恩典，賜我們一顆安靜的心。為什麼到處向人訴苦，這會讓你心情好些嗎？為什麼要把自己關在家裡，為不如意的遭遇自憐自艾？能不到處吐苦水是好的，若能有一顆安靜的心更好。要安靜，要知道耶和華是上帝。�

喔，我們需要上帝的恩典，讓我們對上帝有信心。以色列的聖者，必要保護屬祂的民，並釋放他們的綑綁。祂必不違背祂神聖的誓言，即使高山挪移，祂所說的每一句話，都安定在天。祂值得我們信賴，若我們在祂面前靜默無聲，專心仰望，我們必要像在祂寶座前的天使般那樣快樂。�

來吧，我的靈，靠在主的胸懷，享受屬天的安息吧！�


A Quiet Heart

Scripture: "In quietness and in confidence shall be your strength" (Isaiah 30:15).

It is always weakness to be fretting and worrying, questioning and mis-trusting. What can we do if we wear ourselves to skin and bone? Can we gain anything by fearing and fuming? Do we not unfit ourselves for action and unhinge our minds for wise decision? We are sinking by our struggles when we might float by faith.

Oh, for grace to be quiet! Why run from house to house to repeat the weary story which makes us more and more heart-sick as we tell it? Why even stay at home to cry out in agony because of wretched forebodings which may never be fulfilled? It would be well to keep a quiet tongue, but it would be far better if we had a quiet heart. Oh, to be still and know that Jehovah is God!

Oh, for grace to be confident in God! The holy One of Israel must defend and deliver His own. He cannot run back from His solemn declarations. We may make sure that every word of His will stand though the mountains should depart. He deserves to be confided in; and if we would display confidence and consequent quietness, we might be as happy as the spirits before the throne.

Come, my soul, return unto thy rest, and lean thy head upon the bosom of the LORD Jesus.
