慕安德烈每日靈修 God's Best Secrets by Andrew Murray

全心全意

經文: 「我一心尋求了�。」（詩篇一一九：10）

詩人常常提到「全心全意」，「那一心尋求祂的人」（2節）「我一心遵守您的法度」（34節）「我一心守您的訓詞」（69節）「我一心呼籲您。」（145節）在尋求上帝，遵行祂的律例，呼求祂的幫助時——每一次詩人總是全心全意。

在世俗的事上，若我們想有所成，也是要全心投入，在做上帝的事工上豈不也如此？祂豈不值得我們全力以赴？祂的聖潔豈不吸引我們的心完全歸祂？就是在密室敬拜祂時，祂也配得我們專心一致地感謝讚美。

但很少有基督徒想到這點，也很少有人認真地讀經、禱告，遵行上帝的旨意——像大衛那樣「一心」尋求祂。是的，當我們讀經、禱告、遵行祂旨意時，讓我們這樣呼籲：上帝啊！我渴望見您的面，我一心要服事您，為討您歡心。

親愛的弟兄姐妹們，將這句經文「我一心尋求您。」藏記在心裡，並反覆思想它，為這樣的事禱告，並在上帝面前說出來，直到你感覺到你的心思意念真是放在這些事上，並確定上帝已經聽了你的禱告。每天早上都要這樣來到上帝面前親近祂，誠心地獻上禱告：「我一心尋求您。」在祂聖潔的光中等候祂，讓祂完全地內住你心中，如此我們將學會盡心、盡意、盡力來愛主我們的上帝。


THE WHOLE HEART

Scripture: "With my whole heart have I sought Thee."—Ps. cxix. 10.

Notice how often the Psalmist speaks here of the whole heart. "They that seek Him with the whole heart" (ver. 2) "I shall observe Thy law with my whole heart" (ver. 34). "I will keep Thy precepts with my whole heart" (ver. 69). "I cried with my whole heart" (ver. 145). In seeking God, in observing His law, in crying for His help—each time it is with the whole heart.
When we want to make anything a success in worldly affairs, we put our whole heart into it. And is this not much more necessary in the service of an holy God? Is He not worthy? Does not His great holiness, and the natural aversion of our hearts from God demand it? The whole heart is needed in the service of God when we worship him in secret.
And yet how little most Christians think of this. They do not remember how necessary it is—in prayer, in reading God's Word, in striving to do His will—to say continually: "With my whole heart have I sought Thee. Yes, when we pray, and when we try to understand God's word, and to obey His commands let us say: I desire to seek God, to serve Him and to please Him with my whole heart.
"With my whole heart have I sought Thee." Dear reader, take this word into your heart. Think over it. Pray over it. Speak it out before God until you feel, I really mean what I say, and I have the assurance that God will hear my prayer. Say it each morning as you approach God in prayer. I seek Thee with my whole heart. You will by degrees feel the need of waiting in holy stillness upon God, that He may take possession of your whole heart, and you will learn to love Him with your whole heart and with all your strength.
