依靠並安息

經文: 「你當倚靠耶和華。」（詩卅七3）

「依靠」是信的基本型態，它出於舊約，用來表示初民時期的信心。「信心」一詞所表示的，以意志的活動較多。「信仰」一詞所表現的，以精神或理智的活動較多，但「信靠」卻發自心的根本。「信心」和「信仰」比較接近於一種業已相信的真理或期望。

「依靠」則含有更多的意義，它看到，感覺到，並且依靠著一個物件，依靠著那偉大，真實，永生的愛。你當倚靠耶和華。雖然祂遲延已久，雖然你的困難日甚一日，雖然親戚朋友都棄絕你，雖然一切都似乎沒有盼望了，雖然你不明白前面的路程，不知道將來的結局，仍當繼續「倚靠祂，祂就必成全」（詩卅七5）──前面的道路必敞開將來的結局必平安上面的黑雲必消散午正的陽光必燦爛。──選


Trust and Rest

Scripture: "Trust also in him" (Ps. 37:3).

The word trust is the heart word of faith. It is the Old Testament word, the word given to the early and infant stage of faith. The word faith expresses more the act of the will, the word belief the act of the mind or intellect, but trust is the language of the heart. The other has reference more to a truth believed or a thing expected.

Trust implies more than this, it sees and feels, and leans upon a person, a great, true, living heart of love. So let us "trust also in him," through all the delays, in spite of all the difficulties, in the face of all the denials, notwithstanding all the seemings, even when we cannot understand the way, and know not the issue; still "trust also in him, and he will bring it to pass." The way will open, the right issue will come, the end will be peace, the cloud will be lifted, and the light of an eternal noonday shall shine at last.
