司布真每日靈修(日) Morning by Morning 四月二十七日 經文: 「萬軍之耶和華與我們同在，雅各的上帝是我們的避難所。」（詩篇四十六：7） 這是很奇怪的事，基督徒很少懂得支取屬靈的福份，更奇怪的是，基督徒很少求告主的名，尋求祂的幫助。多少時候，我們碰到麻煩的事，並沒有依靠上帝，反倒向外尋找人的幫助。多少時候，我們落在迷惘困惑的光景，竟忘記求問上帝智慧的帶領，反倒自己瞎摸亂闖。這是我們的錯。 上帝已經清楚對我們說：「來吧，孩子，有什麼問題，有什麼需要，儘管向我求，我必厚賜那尋求我面的人。」我們既有這樣一位奇妙慈愛的救主，我們儘可每天坦然無懼地來到施恩寶座前，作我們隨時的幫助，在祂那兒有豐盛的恩典，我們必一無所缺。 朋友，別擔心上帝會嫌煩，或顧慮上帝幫不上忙。藉著禱告，常常來到上帝面前，將你心裡所求、所想的告訴上帝，祂必使你心願得償，因為祂是你的天父上帝。若你覺得前途茫茫，有如烏雲蔽日，讓耶穌做你信心的指標；若你覺得仇敵當前，無力招架，讓耶穌做你的盾牌；若你覺得迷失在滾滾的萬里紅塵，找不到人生意義，讓耶穌做你的嚮導，祂必帶領你！ Morning, April 27 Scripture: "God, even our own God."(Psalm 67:6) It is strange how little use we make of the spiritual blessings which God gives us, but it is stranger still how little use we make of God himself. Though he is "our own God," we apply ourselves but little to him, and ask but little of him. How seldom do we ask counsel at the hands of the Lord! How often do we go about our business, without seeking his guidance! In our troubles how constantly do we strive to bear our burdens ourselves, instead of casting them upon the Lord, that he may sustain us! This is not because we may not, for the Lord seems to say, "I am thine, soul, come and make use of me as thou wilt; thou mayst freely come to my store, and the oftener the more welcome." It is our own fault if we make not free with the riches of our God. Then, since thou hast such a friend, and he invites thee, draw from him daily. Never want whilst thou hast a God to go to; never fear or faint whilst thou hast God to help thee; go to thy treasure and take whatever thou needest—there is all that thou canst want. Learn the divine skill of making God all things to thee. He can supply thee with all, or, better still, he can be to thee instead of all. Let me urge thee, then, to make use of thy God. Make use of him in prayer. Go to him often, because he is thy God. O, wilt thou fail to use so great a privilege? Fly to him, tell him all thy wants. Use him constantly by faith at all times. If some dark providence has beclouded thee, use thy God as a "sun;" if some strong enemy has beset thee, find in Jehovah a "shield," for he is a sun and shield to his people. If thou hast lost thy way in the mazes of life, use him as a "guide," for he will direct thee. Whatever thou art, and wherever thou art, remember God is just what thou wantest, and just where thou wantest, and that he can doall thou wantest. www.glorypress.com
