一月六日

經文: 晚上耶和華的靈（原文作手）降在我身上。（以西結書三十三：22）

在黑夜�受磨鍊的不是只有你一人。但願你能心誠意悅地降服在主的管教下，並且小心謹慎地竭力從中獲益。主的手能使心靈得著力量，向永恆攀昇。啊，願我能親身感受上帝的對付！上帝的同在與內往，使心靈如鷹展翅上騰昇至天上。那時刻，我們將充滿了屬靈的喜樂，忘卻世上的反應煩惱。當我們接近那眼不能見的事物時，可見的事物就失去了控制我們的力量。身軀雖如奴僕，靜候在山麓；心靈卻能自由地登上山巔，在主的面前敬拜祂。哦，但願今晚賜我聖潔的時刻能與您親密相交！主知道我的需要！我的心凋萎，我的信心軟弱，我的熱情冷卻了。這些皆成為祂醫治的手必須降在我身上的理由。祂的手能冷卻我額上火燒的熱氣，能平息我心中的攪擾。那榮耀的手創造了世界，也能更新我的心思意念。那永不疲倦的手支撐著地球的巨大柱子，也能托住我的心靈。那仁愛的手環抱著眾聖徒，也能安撫我。那大能的手擊敗了敵人，也能征服我的罪孽。為了拯救我，耶穌的雙手被刺透。曾經一度摸到但以理，使他下跪而得見上帝異象的手，我也必能心到它撫摸在我身上。

Scripture: "Now the hand of the Lord was upon me in the evening."(Ezekiel 33:22)

In the way of judgment this may be the case, and, if so, be it mine to consider the reason of such a visitation, and bear the rod and him that hath appointed it. I am not the only one who is chastened in the night season; let me cheerfully submit to the affliction, and carefully endeavour to be profited thereby. But the hand of the Lord may also be felt in another manner, strengthening the soul and lifting the spirit upward towards eternal things. O that I may in this sense feel the Lord dealing with me! A sense of the divine presence and indwelling bears the soul towards heaven as upon the wings of eagles. At such times we are full to the brim with spiritual joy, and forget the cares and sorrows of earth; the invisible is near, and the visible loses its power over us; servant-body waits at the foot of the hill, and the master-spirit worships upon the summit in the presence of the Lord. O that a hallowed season of divine communion may be vouchsafed to me this evening! The Lord knows that I need it very greatly. My graces languish, my corruptions rage, my faith is weak, my devotion is cold; all these are reasons why his healing hand should be laid upon me. His hand can cool the heat of my burning brow, and stay the tumult of my palpitating heart. That glorious right hand which moulded the world can new-create my mind; the unwearied hand which bears the earth's huge pillars up can sustain my spirit; the loving hand which incloses all the saints can cherish me; and the mighty hand which breaketh in pieces the enemy can subdue my sins. Why should I not feel that hand touching me this evening? Come, my soul, address thy God with the potent plea, that Jesus' hands were pierced for thy redemption, and thou shalt surely feel that same hand upon thee which once touched Daniel and set him upon his knees that he might see visions of God.
