奋斗与勇敢-第142章
（撒上12:）
“撒母耳对他们说：你们在我手里没有找着什么，有耶和华和祂的受膏者今日为证”（撒上12:5）。{CC 147.1}[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第142章
1 Samuel 12[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第142章
如今和撒母耳时代一样，对于属世权势和炫耀的追逐是难以救药的。基督徒们竟追求世俗的建筑，穿世俗的服装，效法那些只敬拜世界之神的人所抱的风俗习惯。圣经的教训，衪仆人的劝勉和责备，甚至直接来自祂宝座的警告，似乎都无法制止这种可鄙的野心。当人心与上帝疏远时，可以为漠视上帝的权威找到任何借口。……{CC 147.2}[2]

And he said unto them, The Lord is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that ye have not found ought in my hand. 1 Samuel 12:5. {CC 147.1}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第142章
最有用的人是很少得到欣赏的。那些为同胞无私而积极地服务，努力争取最大成果的人，所得到的往往是忘恩负义和疏忽。当这样的人发觉自己被冷落，说的话受轻忽或藐视时，会觉得自己遭遇不公正的待遇。唯愿他们学习撒母耳的榜样，不必为自己辩护，除非上帝的灵明确指示他们这样做。（2BC.1013）{CC 147.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第142章
The dissatisfied longing for worldly power and display, is as difficult to cure now as in the days of Samuel. Christians seek to build as worldlings build, to dress as worldlings dress—to imitate the customs and practices of those who worship only the god of this world. The instructions of God’s Word, the counsels and reproofs of His servants, and even warnings sent directly from His throne, seem powerless to subdue this unworthy ambition. When the heart is estranged from God, almost any pretext is sufficient to justify a disregard of His authority.... {CC 147.2}[3]

完成工作的人所得的尊荣要远胜过那些刚开始工作，还没有经受考验的人所接受的掌声和祝贺。（2BC.1014）{CC 147.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第142章
The most useful men are seldom appreciated. Those who have labored most actively and unselfishly for their fellow man, and who have been instrumental in achieving the greatest results, are often repaid with ingratitude and neglect. When such men find themselves set aside, their counsels slighted and despised, they may feel that they are suffering great injustice. But let them learn from the example of Samuel not to justify or vindicate themselves, unless the Spirit of God unmistakably prompts to such a course.43 {CC 147.3}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第142章
有多少从士师这样的负责岗位上退任的人，能述说自己的清白，说，你们中有那一个能指认我有罪呢？谁能指证我接受贿赂，偏离正义呢？我从来没有玷污我秉公执法的记录。今日有谁能说撒母耳因以色列民决意立王而不顾他们呢？他是一个勇敢、尊贵的士师，但是一个极为正直的人要屈尊为自己辩护，乃是一件伤心的事。（2BC.1013,1014）{CC 147.5}[5]
奋斗与勇敢-第142章
The honor accorded him who is concluding his work is of far more worth than the applause and congratulations which those receive who are just entering upon their duties, and who have yet to be tested.44 {CC 147.4}[5]
