“我惧怕的时候要倚靠祢”(诗56:3)。{CC 367.1}[1]

What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee. Psalm 56:3. {CC 367.1}[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第362章
惟有感受上帝的同在,才能消除恐惧。这种恐惧会使弱者视人生为重累。让他记住这个应许:“耶和华的使者,在敬畏祂的人四周安营,搭救他们”(诗34:7)。让他阅读以利沙在山城中的奇妙故事。当时有大队的天使,驻扎在他与敌军之间。让他阅读彼得被定死罪、关在监狱中时,上帝的使者显现了,领着祂的仆人安全地越过武装的卫兵和紧锁的铁门。让他阅读那身为囚犯的保罗,在前去受审赴难的途中,向那些在狂风巨浪中饥饿疲劳,筋疲力尽的士兵和水手们所说鼓励与希望的豪言壮语:“现在我还劝你们放心!你们的性命,一个也不失丧。……因我所属所事奉的上帝,祂的使者昨夜站在我旁边说:保罗,不要害怕,你必定站在凯撒面前;并且与你同船的人,上帝都赐给你了。”保罗凭着对这个应许的信心,向他的同伴们保证说:“你们各人连一根头发也不至于损坏。”事情果然如此。因为在船上有一位上帝能藉以作工的人,全船的外邦士兵和水手都保住了性命。“众人都得了救上了岸”(徒27:22-24,34,44)。{CC 367.2}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第362章
Only the sense of God’s presence can banish the fear that, for the timid child, would make life a burden. Let him fix in his memory the promise, “The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them” (Psalm 34:7). Let him read that wonderful story of Elisha in the mountain city, and, between him and the hosts of armed foemen, a mighty encircling band of heavenly angels. Let him read how to Peter, in prison and condemned to death, God’s angel appeared; how, past the armed guards, the massive doors and great iron gateway with their bolts and bars, the angel led God’s servant forth in safety. Let him read of that scene on the sea, when to the tempest-tossed soldiers and seamen, worn with labor and watching and long fasting, Paul the prisoner, on his way to trial and execution, spoke those grand words of courage and hope: “Be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man’s life among you.... For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve, saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.” In the faith of this promise Paul assured his companions, “There shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you.” So it came to pass. Because there was in that ship one man through whom God could work, the whole shipload of heathen soldiers and sailors was preserved. “They escaped all safe to land” (Acts 27:22-24, 34, 44). {CC 367.2}[2]

这些事记录下来,不仅要让我们阅读和惊讶,还要让这种昔日在上帝的仆人身上运行的信心也在我们的身上运行。只要人的信心成为祂能力的通道,祂就会象古时一样,以显著的方式行事。{CC 367.4}[3]

These things were not written merely that we might read and wonder, but that the same faith which wrought in God’s servants of old might work in us. In no less marked a manner than He wrought then will He work now wherever there are hearts of faith to be channels of His power. {CC 367.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第362章
当教导那些怀疑自己,缺乏自信,在操劳和责任面前畏缩不前的人倚靠上帝。这样,许多世界上本来无足轻重,甚至仅为累赘的人,竟能与使徒保罗同说:“我靠着那加给我力量的,凡事都能作”(腓4:13)。(Ed255,256){CC 367.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第362章
Let the self-distrustful, whose lack of self-reliance leads them to shrink from care and responsibility, be taught reliance upon God. Thus many a one who otherwise would be but a cipher in the world, perhaps only a helpless burden, will be able to say with the apostle Paul, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me” (Philippians 4:13).46 {CC 367.4}[4]
