凡物皆蒙福

經文: 「你的筐子和你的摶麵盆都必蒙福。」（申命記廿八：5）

因著順服，現代化文明所提供的一切便利設施，皆可蒙福。無論是日用飲食，或民生用品，都一樣地蒙福。或許今早出門工作前，冰箱裡只有幾片土司聊以充飢，上帝也賜福，因祂的應許連筐子、摶麵盆也包括在內。假若你生活捉襟見肘，所賺儘夠糊口，你仍然像以色列人那樣生活過得去，還記得以色列民在曠野漂流的日子，上帝為他們預備的嗎哪，就是一天的量，多收取的也沒有剩。我們有衣有食，就當知足，還需要些什麼？

但是若我們有盈餘，更加需要上帝的賜福！因為若我們只掛心著賺取、儲存、管理，曾幾何時，這些財富會成為纏累我們的重擔或偶像，而不自知。

主啊，賜福我們手中的一切，讓我們知道如何善用它來榮耀上帝；幫助我們對身外之物保有正確的心態與處置之道，絕不讓它成為我們追求靈性富足的絆腳石。


Our Substance Blessed

Scripture: "Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store"(Deuteronomy 28:5).

Obedience brings a blessing on all the provisions which our industry earns for us. That which comes in and goes out at once, like fruit in the basket which is for immediate use, shall be blest; and that which is laid by with us for a longer season shall equally receive a blessing. Perhaps ours is a hand-basket portion. We have a little for breakfast and a scanty bite for dinner in a basket when we go out to do our work in the morning. This is well, for the blessing of God is promised to the basket. If we live from hand to mouth, getting each day's supply in the day, we are as well off as Israel; for when the LORD entertained His favored people He only gave them a day's manna at a time. What more did they need? What more do we need?
But if we have a store, how much we need the LORD to bless it! For there is the care of getting, the care of keeping, the care of managing, the care of using; and, unless the LORD bless it, these cares will eat into our hearts till our goods become our gods and our cares prove cankers.
O LORD, bless our substance. Enable us to use it for Thy glory. Help us to keep worldly things in their proper places, and never may our savings endanger the saving of our souls.
