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

渴慕上帝

經文: 「夜間我心中羡慕您，我裡面的靈切切尋求您！」（以賽亞書廿六：9）

一生中最大、最榮耀的事，莫過於尋找上帝、遇見上帝；在每一天中最大、最榮耀，最需要的事，也是摸著上帝，並且愛慕、讚美這位榮耀的上帝。因爲這位上帝是這樣一位榮耀的王，所以那些將自己獻上，爲祂而活的信徒，上帝也要在他們的心中做工，使他們在生活中顯出上帝的榮美。�

親愛的弟兄姐妹們，你可知道每一天最重要的事是什麽嗎？就是尋找上帝、遇見上帝，敬拜祂，爲祂的榮耀而活。一個真正的基督徒，當他看清楚這點，且願意將自己獻上當做活祭，就會將與上帝親近當作第一件大事來做。�

花些時間求問上帝，相信這真理是最高的智慧，也是基督徒一生的職志——更認識上帝，並全心全意地愛祂。不但堅信這是千真萬確的事，而且要明白上帝的心意，祂也渴望我們與祂親近，讓祂有機會回應我們的禱告，將各樣的恩典賜給我們，使我們充足行各樣的善事。�

今天就開始，在靈裡安靜時用上帝的話來禱告：�

「上帝啊，您是我的上帝，我要切切的尋求您。在乾旱疲乏無水之地，我渴想您，我的心切慕您。」（詩六三：1）�

「遵守祂的法度，一心尋求祂的，這人便爲有福。」（詩一一九：2）�

用孩童對父母般的依戀，以及虔誠恭敬的態度，一再向上帝重複上列的經文，並且安靜等候，上帝要向你展笑顔、施恩典。若你能有�心毅力地常在心中默想這些上帝的話語，上帝的同在就會因你對他的敬畏，而在一整天都保守你在祂的愛中。�

「我曾耐性等候耶和華。祂垂聽我的呼求。」（詩篇四十：1）


THE DESIRE FOR GOD

Scripture: "With my soul have I desired Thee in the night."—ISA. xxvi. 9.

And what is the chief thing, the greatest and most glorious, that man can see or find upon earth? Nothing less than God Himself.
And what is the chief and the best and the most glorious thing that a man needs every day, and can do every day? Nothing less than to seek and to know, and to love and to praise this glorious God. As glorious as God is, so is the glory which begins to work in the heart and life of the man who gives himself to live for God.
My brother, have you learnt what is the first and the greatest thing you have to do every day?
Nothing less and nothing greater than to seek this God, to meet Him, to worship Him, to live for Him and for His glory. It is a great step in advance in the life of a Christian when he truly sees this and yields himself to consider fellowship with God every day as the chief end of his life.
Take time and ask whether this be not the truth, the highest wisdom and the one thing for which a Christian is above all to live—to know his God aright, and to love Him with his whole heart. Do believe that it is not only in very deed true, but that God Himself is most desirous that you should live thus with Him and will, in answer to prayer enable you to do so.
Begin today and take a word from God's Book to speak to Him in stillness of soul.
"O God,—Thou art my God;—early will I seek Thee:— my soul thirsteth for Thee,—my flesh longeth for Thee,—my soul followeth hard after Thee" (Ps. lxiii-1).
"I seek Thee with my whole heart" (see Ps. cxix. 2).
Repeat these words in deep reverence and childlike longing till their spirit and power enter your heart; and wait upon God till you begin to realize what the blessedness is of thus meeting with Him. As you persevere you will learn to expect that the fear and the presence of God can abide with you through all the day.
"I waited patiently for the Lord; and He inclined unto me, and heard my cry" (Ps. xl. 1).
