荒漠甘泉 Streams in the Desert

時雨和陽光

經文: 「我也必叫時雨落下；必有福如甘霖而降。」（結卅四26）

今天早晨你的光景如何？是不是一個枯燥的光景？那麼你正需要時雨滋潤了。是不是一個憂鬱煩惱的光景？那麼你正需要時雨調劑了。「你的日子如何，你的力量也必如何。」（申卅三25）「必有福如甘霖而降。」「福」字在原文中是多數的。意謂上帝要降各種──不止一樣──的福。上帝一切的祝福聯在一起，如一條金鍊一般，一一降下。如果祂給我們得救的恩典，祂也要給我們得勝的恩典。恩典上還要加上恩典，祂的賜福眞如甘霖一般。哦，枯萎植物啊！張開你的葉子和花瓣來接受從天上來的時雨罷。──司布眞（Spurgeon）

主啊！您能使我的荊棘變成花朵。我願我的荊棘變成花朵。約伯在雨後獲得陽光，雨是完全白費的嗎？約伯想知道，我也想知道，那場傾盆大雨和雨後的陽光普照，是否毫無關係？您能告訴我——您的十字架能告訴我。您已給您的苦難加上王冠。主啊！願這是我的王冠。我知道了雨的榮耀，我唯有爲您而歡欣。——馬得遜

多結果的生命常尋求時雨。


Showers and Sunshine

Scripture: "I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing"

What is thy season this morning? Is it a season of drought? Then that is the season for showers. Is it a season of great heaviness and black clouds? Then that is the season for showers. "As thy day so shall thy strength be." "I will give thee showers of blessing." The word is in the plural. All kinds of blessings God will send. All God's blessings go together, like links in a golden chain. If He gives converting grace, He will also give comforting grace. He will send "showers of blessings." Look up today, O parched plant, and open thy leaves and flowers for a heavenly watering. --Spurgeon
Thou, O Lord, canst transform my thorn into a flower. And I want my thorn transformed into a flower. Job got the sunshine after the rain, but has the rain been all waste? Job wants to know, I want to know, if the shower had nothing to do with the shining. And Thou canst tell me Thy Cross can tell me. Thou hast crowned Thy sorrow. Be this my crown, O Lord. I only triumph in Thee when I have learned the radiance of the rain. --George Matheson
The fruitful life seeks showers as well as sunshine.
