肯定的保證

經文: ��「我總不撇下你，也不丟棄你。」（希伯來書十三︰5）�

聖經中像這樣的話，上帝不知說過幾次，祂一再地重覆，是給我們一個確定的保證，叫我們對此應許確信不疑。這句話本身就鏗鏘有聲，極具信服力。在希臘文裡，這句話有五個否定句，強烈排除上帝會丟棄我們的可能性。這應許並沒有保證信徒一帆風順，好景常在，但卻應許上帝必不丟棄我們。或許上帝會呼召我們走一條崎嶇艱難的道路，但祂必伴我們同行，一路供應我們所需，我們切莫貪戀錢財，免得被世上的愁苦刺透，到頭來一無所獲，要知道上帝比一切金銀財寶更可貴，祂的恩惠與眷顧比財富更寶貴。�

我們必須知足常樂，以現在所擁有的為滿足，若覺得還缺少什麼，那是上帝覺得還不到給我們的時候。話又說回來，若有一位全能的上帝，無限的主在我們心中，我們不是比擁有全世界更好﹖我們還缺少什麼呢？�

來吧，我的心，上帝既說祂不撇下你，也不丟棄你，我們就求上帝保守我們在祂的恩典裡，讓我們永不離開這位主，而且一刻也不離棄祂的道。�


Absolute Assurance

Scripture: "He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee" (Hebrews 13:5).

Several times in the Scriptures the LORD hath said this. He has often repeated it to make our assurance doubly sure. Let us never harbor a doubt about it. In itself the promise is specially emphatic. In the Greek it has five negatives, each one definitely shutting out the possibility of the LORD's ever leaving one of His people so that he can justly feel forsaken of his God. This priceless Scripture does not promise us exemption from trouble, but it does secure us against desertion. We may be called to traverse strange ways, but we shall always have our LORD's company, assistance, and provision. We need not covet money, for we shall always have our God, and God is better than gold; His favor is better than fortune.

We ought surely to be content with such things as we have, for he who has God has more than all the world besides. What can we have beyond the Infinite? What more can we desire than almighty Goodness.

Come, my heart; if God says He will never leave thee nor forsake thee, be thou much in prayer for grace that thou mayest never leave thy LORD, nor even for a moment forsake His ways.
