效法主耶稣-第313章
God’s People Will Be Refined by Time of Trouble, November 8
效法主耶稣-第313章
“耶和华啊,求祢施恩于我们。我们等候祢。求祢每早晨作我们的膀臂。遭难的时候,为我们的拯救”(赛33:2)。{BLJ329.1}[1]
效法主耶稣-第313章
O Lord, be gracious to us; we have waited for You. Be their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.Isaiah 33:2, NKJV.{BLJ 329.1}[1]
效法主耶稣-第313章
雅各的历史也是一个凭据,证明凡受欺骗,遭试探,并陷于罪恶之中的人,只要回头,真心悔改归主,上帝决不丢弃他们。撒但虽然设法除灭这一等人,但上帝却要差遣天使在艰难中安慰并保护他们。{BLJ329.2}[2]
效法主耶稣-第313章
Jacob’s history is also an assurance that [in the final time of trouble] God will not cast off those who have been deceived and tempted and betrayed into sin, but who have returned unto Him with true repentance. While Satan seeks to destroy this class, God will send His angels to comfort and protect them in the time of peril.{BLJ 329.2}[2]
效法主耶稣-第313章
撒但的袭击固然猛烈而坚决,他的欺骗固然可怕,但耶和华的眼目必眷顾祂的子民,祂的耳朵垂听他们的呼求。他们的苦难虽然惨重,熊熊的烈火似乎要烧灭他们,但那熬炼他们的主必要把他们从火中取出来,如同火炼的金子一样。上帝对祂儿女的爱心在试炼最剧烈的时候,和在顺利繁荣的时候是一样坚强而温慈的。但他们被放置于炉火中乃是必需的。他们那世俗化的成分必须焚烬,使基督的形象可以在他们身上完全反映出来。{BLJ329.3}[3]
效法主耶稣-第313章
The assaults of Satan are fierce and determined, his delusions are terrible; but the Lord’s eye is upon His people, and His ear listens to their cries. Their affliction is great, the flames of the furnace seem about to consume them; but the Refiner will bring them forth as gold tried in the fire. God’s love for His children during the period of their severest trial is as strong and tender as in the days of their sunniest prosperity; but it is needful for them to be placed in the furnace of fire; their earthliness must be consumed, that the image of Christ may be perfectly reflected.{BLJ 329.3}[3]
效法主耶稣-第313章
我们需要一种能以忍受疲劳,迟延和饥饿的信心,来应付那即将临到我们的忧患和痛苦的时期,──这种信心纵然经受最惨重的试炼,也不至于衰退。上帝给人一个恩典时期,使人人都可以准备应付这未来的考验。雅各的得胜是因为他有恒心和决心。他的胜利说明了恳切祈祷的力量。凡能像雅各一样持守上帝的应许,并像他一样热切呼求坚持到底的人,必能像他一样成功。凡不愿克己,不愿在上帝面前挣扎,不愿恒切求主赐福的人,必一无所得。{BLJ329.4}[4]
效法主耶稣-第313章
The season of distress and anguish before us will require a faith that can endure weariness, delay, and hunger—a faith that will not faint though severely tried. The period of probation is granted to all to prepare for that time. Jacob prevailed because he was persevering and determined. His victory is an evidence of the power of importunate prayer. All who will lay hold of God’s promises, as he did, and be as earnest and persevering as he was, will succeed as he succeeded. Those who are unwilling to deny self, to agonize before God, to pray long and earnestly for His blessing, will not obtain it.{BLJ 329.4}[4]
效法主耶稣-第313章
与上帝“角力”,能体会这一句话的人,真是寥寥无几!有几个人曾因渴慕上帝而不遗余力地寻求祂呢?当那说不出来的绝望之感,象浪涛一样猛然冲击祈求上帝的人时,又有几个人能以不屈不挠的信心持住上帝的应许呢?{BLJ329.5}[5]
效法主耶稣-第313章
Wrestling with God—how few know what it is! How few have ever had their souls drawn out after God with intensity of desire until every power is on the stretch. When waves of despair which no language can express sweep over the suppliant, how few cling with unyielding faith to the promises of God.{BLJ 329.5}[5]
效法主耶稣-第313章
那些现在很少操练信心的人,将来最容易屈服于撒但迷惑的能力和强迫信仰的法令之下。即或他们经得起这种试炼,但他们在大艰难的时期却要被卷入更深的忧患和痛苦之中,因为他们没有养成信赖上帝的习惯。他们现今所忽略信心的操练,他们必须在灰心绝望的非常压力之下从头学起。(GC621,622){BLJ329.6}[6]
效法主耶稣-第313章
Those who exercise but little faith now are in the greatest danger of falling under the power of satanic delusions and the decree to compel the conscience. And even if they endure the test they will be plunged into deeper distress and anguish in the time of trouble, because they have never made it a habit to trust in God. The lessons of faith which they have neglected they will be forced to learn under a terrible pressure of discouragement.—The Great Controversy, 621, 622.{BLJ 329.6}[6]
