Careful Planning Necessary in God’s Work, June 26
得胜的基督-第179章
“我又对王说,王若喜欢,求王赐我诏书,通知大河西的省长准我经过,直到犹大。又赐诏书,通知管理王园林的亚萨,使他给我木料,做……城墙”(尼2:7,8)。{CTr 184.1}[1]
得胜的基督-第179章
Let letters be given me to the governors beyond the river, that they may convey me over till I come into Judah; and a letter unto Asaph ... that he may give me timber ... for the wall of the city.Nehemiah 2:7, 8.{CTr 184.1}[1]
得胜的基督-第179章
尼希米对王的要求既蒙恩准,他就壮胆请求更多的援助。为要使他的使命有充分的尊严和权威,又为旅途中得到保护起见,他要求并得到了武装的护卫。他也得到王所发的信件,通知幼发拉底河以西各省的省长。这些就是他前往犹大所必经之地。他也得到一封信,通知看守黎巴嫩山王家森林的人,吩咐他要提供重建耶路撒冷城墙和尼希米建造房屋所需要的木材。{CTr 184.2}[2]
得胜的基督-第179章
As his [Nehemiah’s] request to the king had been so favorably received, he was encouraged to ask for such assistance as was necessary to carry out his plans. To give dignity and authority to his mission, as well as to provide protection on the journey, he secured a military escort. He obtained royal letters to the governors of the provinces beyond the Euphrates, the territory through which he must pass on his way to Judea; he obtained also a letter to the keeper of the king’s forest in the mountains of Lebanon, directing him to furnish such timber as was needed for the wall of Jerusalem and such buildings as Nehemiah proposed to erect.{CTr 184.2}[2]
得胜的基督-第179章
这位圣人(尼希米)的榜样应当成为一切上帝子民的教训。他们不但要凭着信心祷告,也要殷勤忠实地作工。我们遇到了多少困难,人为地妨碍了上天为我们所进行的工作,都是因为觉得深思熟虑和辛勤工作与宗教没有什么关系!……今日和尼希米的时代一样,圣工的成功有赖于周密的思考和成熟的计划。……{CTr 184.3}[3]
得胜的基督-第179章
The example of this holy man should be a lesson to all the people of God, that they are not only to pray in faith but to work with wise diligence and fidelity. How many difficulties we encounter, and how we hinder the working of Providence on our behalf, because prudence, forethought, and painstaking are regarded as having little to do with religion.... Careful consideration and well-matured plans are as essential to the success of sacred enterprises today as in the time of Nehemiah....{CTr 184.3}[3]
得胜的基督-第179章
尼希米没有凭空办事。他缺乏经济,就向那些能捐款的人募集。全世界及其财富宝藏都是属于上帝的,但现在被恶人所占有。倘若祂的仆人采取聪明慎重的作法,主的恩手就会与他们同在;他们就能得到推展祂圣工所需要的资源。{CTr 184.4}[4]
得胜的基督-第179章
Nehemiah does not depend upon uncertainties. The means that he has not he solicits from those who are able to bestow. All the world, with its riches and treasures, belongs to God, although it is now in the possession of wicked people. If His servants take a wise and prudent course, so that the good hand of the Lord may be with them, they can obtain the means that they need to advance His cause.{CTr 184.4}[4]
得胜的基督-第179章
尼希米重建耶路撒冷的经验,带来上帝的子民所需要的教训,直到世界的末日。各时代都需要品格坚强果断的人。保罗说:“我还有未了的话:你们要靠着主,倚赖他的大能大力作刚强的人。要穿戴上帝所赐的全副军装,就能抵挡魔鬼的诡计。”上帝的工人如果不时时警惕,仇敌就会在每一件好事上鱼目混珠。他就是这样竭力破坏上帝的工作。(Manuscript.1903. 58){CTr 184.5}[5]
得胜的基督-第179章
Nehemiah’s experience in connection with the rebuilding of Jerusalem teaches lessons that will be needed by God’s people as long as time shall last. The times call for men and women of strength and decision of character. Paul says, “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” The enemy will mingle his evil with every good work that is done if the workers are not on guard. Thus he seeks to spoil God’s purposes.—Manuscript 58, 1903.{CTr 184.5}[5]
