God Teaches Self-distrust Through Trials, December 10
彰显主基督-第345章
“耶和华说:我的意念非同你们的意念;我的道路非同你们的道路”(赛55:8)。{RC358.1}
彰显主基督-第345章
My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. Isaiah 55:8. {RC 358.1}
彰显主基督-第345章
上帝的工人往往视人生的活动为推展圣工的必要条件。他看自己是必不可少的,把自我混杂在一切言行之中。于是上帝进行干预。祂吸引祂的孩子转离摄夺他注意力的属世事物,使他能看得见祂的荣耀。祂说,“这可怜的生灵看不见我和我充足的大能。他的眼睛沒有注视他的主。我必须将我的光和我赐生命的大能浇灌他的心,以此预备他按正确的方针工作。藉着用属天的眼药膏擦他的眼睛,预备他接受真理。{RC358.2}
彰显主基督-第345章
The worker for God often regards the activities of life as essential for the advancement of the work. He looks upon himself as a necessity, and self is mingled with all that is said and done. Then God interposes. He draws His child away from the earthly, which holds his attention, that he may behold His glory. He says: “This poor soul has lost sight of Me and My sufficiency. His eye is not fixed upon his Lord. I must throw My light and My vitalizing power into his heart, and thus prepare him to work in right lines. By anointing his eyes with the heavenly eyesalve I will prepare him to receive truth.” {RC 358.2}
彰显主基督-第345章
主不得不加强人的力量,以抵制自满和依靠自我的倾向,使工人不视自己的弱点为美德,以致因自高自大而毁灭。有时主以人觉得痛苦的过程作为祂通达心灵的路径。洁净是一项伟大的工作,需要人经受痛苦与试炼。但他必须经过火窑,直至烈火将渣滓烧尽,才能反映上帝的形像。{RC358.3}
彰显主基督-第345章
The Lord is compelled to fortify the soul against self-sufficiency and self-dependence, in order that the worker shall not regard his failings as virtues, and thus be ruined by self-exaltation. Sometimes the Lord makes His path to the soul by a process that is painful to humanity; the work of purifying is a great work, and will always cost man suffering and trial. But he must pass through the furnace until the fires have consumed the dross, and he can reflect the divine image. {RC 358.3}
彰显主基督-第345章
依从自我欲望的人无法正确地判断主的作为。他们心怀不满,视胜利为失败,视收获为损失。他们像雅各那样常说:“这一切的事都对我不利”,其实他们所埋怨的事情正互相效力使他们得益处。耶和华说,“我的意念非同你们的意念;我的道路非同你们的道路。”……{RC358.4}
彰显主基督-第345章
Those who follow their own inclinations are not good judges of what the Lord is doing, and they are filled with discontent. They see failure where there is triumph, loss where there is gain. Like Jacob, they are ready to exclaim, “All these things are against me,” when the very things whereof they complain are working together for their good. “My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.” ... {RC 358.4}

我们要稍微思考一下保罗的经验。表面上看来,蒙受试炼和逼迫的教会非常需要使徒来加强力量之时,他却失去了自由,遭到拘禁。但这正是主工作的时候,所获得的胜利是宝贵的。{RC358.5}
彰显主基督-第345章
Let us consider the experience of Paul for a little. At the very time when it seemed that the apostle’s labors were most needed to strengthen the tried and persecuted church, his liberty was taken away, and he was bound in chains. But this was the time for the Lord to work, and precious were the victories won. {RC 358.5}
彰显主基督-第345章
在保罗似乎无能为力的时候,真理竟进入王宫。并非保罗在这些大人物面前雄辩的证道,而是他的锁链,引起了他们的注意。因着他的被囚,他为基督成了得胜者。他耐心而温柔地忍受长久不公正的囚禁,使这些人衡量他的品格。保罗在给亲爱的同道写最后的信时加上一句话:“凯撒家里的人特特地问你们安”(腓4:22)。(ST.1900.2.21){RC358.6}
彰显主基督-第345章
When to all appearance Paul was able to do the least, then it was that the truth found an entrance into the royal palace. Not Paul’s masterly sermons before these great men, but his bonds attracted their attention. Through his captivity he was a conqueror for Christ. The patience and meekness with which he submitted to his long and unjust confinement set these men to weighing character. Sending his last message to his loved ones in the faith, Paul gathers up with his words the greetings from these saints in Caesar’s household to the saints in other cities.—The Signs of the Times, February 21, 1900. {RC 358.6}
