微聲祈禱

經文: 「到那時候，凡求告耶和華名的就必得救。」(約珥書二：32)

為何我不呼求祂的名？為何我向鄰居或他處求救？祂不是就近在眼前，能聽到我們最微弱的求救聲嗎？為何我坐在這兒自己籌劃，而沒有將重擔交託給上帝？最佳的跑者總是一馬當先──為何不奔向永生上帝？若我們想從別處得到幫助，常是枉然；但求告上帝，永不令你失望，因君無戲言，萬王之王的承諾，絕非空頭支票！

我不需要問我可不可以來到上帝面前，因經上說「任何人都可以」這當然包括我，所以我就可以按著經文所說的，坦然無懼地來到這位榮耀的王前，得到祂的應許。

我的需要是很急迫的，而我不曉得該如何解決，但沒有關係，因上帝必會想出一個方法，使祂的應許不落空，我的責任就是順服祂的命令，而不是要上帝聽我指揮；我是祂的僕人，不是祂的參謀長。我要求告祂，祂就釋放我。


Even the Faintest Call

Scripture: "And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shalt be delivered"(Joel 2:32).

Why do I not call on His name? Why do I run to this neighbor and that when God is so near and will hear my faintest call? Why do I sit down and devise schemes and invent plans! Why not at once roll myself and my burden upon the LORD? Straightforward is the best runner -- why do I not run at once to the living God? In vain shall I look for deliverance anywhere else; but with God I shall find it; for here I have His royal "shall" to make it sure.
I need not ask whether I may call on Him or not, for that word whosoever is a very wide and comprehensive one. Whosoever means me, for it means anybody and everybody who calls upon God. I will therefore follow the leading of the text and at once call upon the glorious LORD who has made so large a promise.
My case is urgent, and I do not see how I am to be delivered; but this is no business of mine. He who makes the promise will find out ways and means of keeping it. It is mine to obey His commands; it is not mine to direct His counsels. I am His servant, not His solicitor. I call upon Him, and He will deliver me.
