奋斗与勇敢-第122章
(士7:1-3)
“耶和华对基甸说:跟随你的人过多,我不能将米甸人交在他们手中,免得以色列人向我夸大,说,是我们自己的手救了我们”(士7:2)。{CC 127.1}[1]

Judges 7:1-3[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第122章
以色列中向来就有一条律法,在他们将要上阵作战之前,必须在全营宣布说:“谁建造房屋,尚未奉献?他可以回家去,恐怕他阵亡,别人去奉献。谁种葡萄园,尚未用所结的果子?他可以回家去,恐怕他阵亡,别人去用。谁聘定了妻,尚未迎娶?他可以回家去,恐怕他阵亡,别人去娶。官长又要对百姓宣告说:谁惧怕胆怯,他可以回家去,恐怕他弟兄的心消化,和他一样”(申20:5-8)。{CC 127.2}[2]

And the Lord said unto Gideon, The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me. Judges 7:2. {CC 127.1}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第122章
基甸因为自己的人数与仇敌的人数比较起来已经众寡悬殊,所以没有照着平常的习惯宣告以上的话,如今上帝还要说他的人数太多,这就使他不禁大为惊奇。耶和华看出百姓还存有骄傲和不信的心。他们当初听了基甸动人的号召,就愿意前来入伍;但他们一看到米甸人的大军时,许多人就心惊胆寒了。可是,如果以色列得胜的话,这样的人倒会把胜利归功给自己,而不把荣耀归给上帝。{CC 127.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第122章
It had been made a law in Israel that before they went to battle the following proclamation should be made throughout the army: “What man is there that hath built a new house, and hath not dedicated it? let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man dedicate it. And what man is he that hath planted a vineyard, and hath not yet eaten of it? let him also go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man eat of it. And what man is there that hath betrothed a wife, and hath not taken her? let him go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man take her.” And the officers were to speak further to the people, saying, “What man is there that is fearful and fainthearted? let him go and return unto his house, lest his brethren’s heart faint as well as his heart” (Deuteronomy 20:5-8). {CC 127.2}[3]

基甸听从了耶和华的指示。他以沉重忧郁的心情看着二万二千人,就是他全军的三分之二以上的人回家去了。(PP548,549){CC 127.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第122章
Because his numbers were so few compared with those of the enemy, Gideon had refrained from making the usual proclamation. He was filled with astonishment at the declaration that his army was too large. But the Lord saw the pride and unbelief existing in the hearts of His people. Aroused by the stirring appeals of Gideon, they had readily enlisted; but many were filled with fear when they saw the multitudes of the Midianites. Yet, had Israel triumphed, those very ones would have taken the glory to themselves instead of ascribing the victory to God. {CC 127.3}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第122章
上帝愿意为我们施行大事。我们得胜不在于人数多寡,而在于是否将心完全献给耶稣。我们要靠着祂的能力前进,信赖以色列大能的上帝。基甸军队的故事中,有我们应当学习的教训。……如今上帝同样愿意藉着人工作,用软弱的器皿成就大事。(2BC.1003){CC 127.5}[5]
奋斗与勇敢-第122章
Gideon obeyed the Lord’s direction, and with a heavy heart he saw twenty-two thousand, or more than two thirds of his entire force, depart for their homes.1 {CC 127.4}[5]
