奋斗与勇敢-第212章
(代下20:1-30)
“我们的上帝啊,祢不惩罚他们么?因为我们无力抵挡这来攻击我们的大军;我们也不知道怎样行,我们的眼目单仰望祢”(代下20:12)。{CC 217.1}[1]

2 Chronicles 20:1-30[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第212章
在约沙法作王的末叶,犹大国被敌军侵犯。这一支敌军实在足以使当地的居民惊恐。……约沙法是一个勇敢的战士。他已多年增强兵力,巩固边塞的防地。他已经有很好的准备可以应付任何仇敌;然而在这次危机中他没有依靠血肉的膀臂。他不敢靠有纪律的军队和坚固的城邑,却要坚心依赖以色列的上帝。这样,他才能希望战胜那些矜夸自己有力量在列国面前把犹大降卑的异邦人。{CC 217.2}[2]

O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee. 2 Chronicles 20:12. {CC 217.1}[2]

“约沙法便惧怕,定意寻求耶和华,在犹大全地宣告禁食。于是犹大人聚会,求耶和华帮助;犹大各城都有人出来寻求耶和华”(代下20:3,4)。约沙法当着百姓站在圣殿院内,倾心祈祷,恳求上帝履行祂的应许,同时承认以色列的软弱无力。……{CC 217.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第212章
Toward the close of Jehoshaphat’s reign the kingdom of Judah was invaded by an army before whose approach the inhabitants of the land had reason to tremble.... Jehoshaphat was a man of courage and valor. For years he had been strengthening his armies and his fortified cities. He was well prepared to meet almost any foe; yet in this crisis he put not his trust in the arm of flesh. Not by disciplined armies and fenced cities, but by a living faith in the God of Israel, could he hope to gain the victory over these heathen who boasted of their power to humble Judah in the eyes of the nations. {CC 217.2}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第212章
约沙法很有把握地说:“我们的眼目单仰望祢。”多年以来,他常教训百姓依靠那在过去的各世代中时常伸手拯救祂选民不受完全毁灭的主;所以现在,当国势垂危的时候,约沙法不是单独一人站在那里的;“犹大众人和他们的婴孩、妻子、儿女、都站在耶和华面前”(代下20:13)。他们都同心合意,禁食祈祷;同心合意恳求耶和华使仇敌溃败,使祂的圣名得到荣耀。……{CC 217.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第212章
“Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the Lord, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah. And Judah gathered themselves together, to ask help of the Lord: even out of all the cities of Judah they came to seek the Lord.” Standing in the temple court before his people, Jehoshaphat poured out his soul in prayer, pleading God’s promises, with confession of Israel’s helplessness.... {CC 217.3}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第212章
在这一次危机中,上帝乃是犹大的力量。今日祂依然是祂子民的力量。我们不可依靠君王,也不可拿人代替上帝。我们必须记住:人都是有错误,有软弱的,所以我们必须以那具有一切能力的主为保护我们的“坚固台”。在每一次危机中,我们必须认明“胜败……乃在乎上帝。”祂所有能力的资源是没有穷尽的,而且那些看上去是无法克服的障碍只能使祂的胜利更显伟大。(PK198-202){CC 217.5}[5]
奋斗与勇敢-第212章
With confidence Jehoshaphat could say to the Lord, “Our eyes are upon Thee.” For years he had taught the people to trust in the One who in past ages had so often interposed to save His chosen ones from utter destruction; and now, when the kingdom was in peril, Jehoshaphat did not stand alone; “all Judah stood before the Lord, with their little ones, their wives, and their children.” Unitedly they fasted and prayed; unitedly they besought the Lord to put their enemies to confusion, that the name of Jehovah might be glorified.... {CC 217.4}[5]
