信心的支票簿 Faith's check book 上帝完成事工 經文: 「耶和華必成全關乎我的事。」（詩篇一百卅八︰8） 上帝在我們身上所開始的善工，必要繼續完成。上帝關心我們身上的每件事，那些現在看來似乎不錯，但還不夠完全的，上帝要繼續看顧保守，直到完成為止。這是何等大的安慰，因為我們的能力有限、不足。我深知我每天常會跌倒，若非上帝的幫助，我連現在有的，都無法保住。若上帝離開我，我過往的經驗，將歸與烏有，我也將一敗塗地。但上帝要繼續保守我，祂將使我的信心更堅定，愛心更擴大，人格更完美，生命更茁壯，因為祂說，祂開始的工作，必永不停止，否則就不是上帝做事的方法，也不榮耀祂的名。雖然我有人性的軟弱、世界的引誘，上帝仍然慈悲地在我心中作感動，在某種程度上而言，給我一種我能感受到的感動，然後按著祂的設計藍圖，繼續完工，不讓撒但攔阻我，以致陰謀得逞。 我不懷疑上帝的應許，上帝必成全關乎我的事，我要永遠稱頌祂。上帝！讓我今天就能有些進步。 God Finished His Work Scripture: "The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me"(Psalm 138:8). He who has begun will carry on the work which is being wrought within my soul. The LORD is concerned about everything that concerns me. All that is now good, but not perfect, the LORD will watch over, preserve, and carry out to completion. This is a great comfort. I could not perfect the work of grace myself... If the LORD were to leave me, all my past experience would go for nothing, and I should perish from the way. But the LORD will continue to bless me. He will perfect my faith, my love, my character, my lifework. He will do this because He has begun a work in me. He gave me the concern I feel, and, in a measure, He has fulfilled my gracious aspirations, He never leaves a work unfinished; this would not be for His glory, nor would it be like Him. He knows how to accomplish His gracious design, and though my own [flesh] and the world and the devil all conspire to hinder Him, I do not doubt His promise. He will perfect that which concerneth me, and I will praise Him forever. LORD, let Thy gracious work make some advance this day! www.glorypress.com
