Chap. 58 How God Trains His Workers
传道良助-第59章
上帝训练祂的工人,使他们准备好担任指派给他们的工作。祂希望能培养他们作出更蒙悦纳的服务。那些希望成为领袖的人,需要学会圣洁的顺从。上帝会使他们的生活发生变化。或许祂将他们所不愿意的责任摆在他们面前。如果他们愿意受祂引导,祂就会赐给他们恩惠和力量,以谦逊和乐于助人的精神履行这些责任。这样,他们就得到资格把他们所培养的能力充分发挥出来,使他们能从事大工。{GW 269.1}[1]
传道良助-第59章
The Lord disciplines His workers, that they may be prepared to fill the places appointed them. He desires to fit them to do more acceptable service. There are those who wish to be a ruling power, and who need the sanctification of submission. God brings about a change in their lives. Perhaps He places before them duties that they would not choose. If they are willing to be guided by Him, He will give them grace and strength to perform these duties in a spirit of submission and helpfulness. Thus they are being qualified to fill places where their disciplined abilities will make them of great service. {GW 269.1}[1]
传道良助-第59章
对于有些人,上帝藉着失望和表面上的失败训练他们。上帝的旨意是要他们学会克服困难。祂启发他们下决心,把每一个表面的失败变为成功。人们往往因面前的困惑和障碍而祷告哭泣。但他们若能始终不渝地坚持信心,上帝就会显明他们的道路。他们必成功地克服表面上无法克服的困难,获得极大的喜乐。{GW 269.2}[2]
传道良助-第59章
Some God trains by bringing to them disappointment and apparent failure. It is His purpose that they shall learn to master difficulties. He inspires them with a determination to prove every apparent failure a success. Often men pray and weep because of the perplexities and obstacles that confront them. But if they will hold the beginning of their confidence steadfast unto the end, God will make their way clear. Success will come as they struggle against apparently insurmountable difficulties and with success will come the greatest joy. {GW 269.2}[2]
传道良助-第59章
单调的生活不是最有利于属灵成长的。有些人只有藉着日常秩序的改变,才能达到最高的属灵标准。当上帝按照祂的旨意看到需要有改变才能造就品格时,就搅动平稳的生活潮流。上帝看到一个工人需要与祂有更密切的关系。为了达到这个目的,祂就使他与朋友和熟人分开。在祂预备以利亚变化升天的过程中,祂让他四处转移,无法安逸定居,以致得不到属灵的力量。上帝计划让以利亚的影响成为一股力量,帮助许多人获得更广泛、更有益的经验。{GW 269.3}[3]
传道良助-第59章
A life of monotony is not the most conducive to spiritual growth. Some can reach the highest standard of spirituality only through a change in the regular order of things. When in His providence God sees that changes are essential for the success of the character-building, He disturbs the smooth current of the life. He sees that a worker needs to be more closely associated with Him; and to bring this about, He separates him from friends and acquaintances. When He was preparing Elijah for translation, God moved him from place to place, that the prophet might not settle down at ease, and thus fail of gaining spiritual power. And it was God's design that Elijah's influence should be a power to help many souls to gain a wider, more helpful experience. {GW 269.3}[3]
传道良助-第59章
许多人对上帝交托他们的工作不满意,不乐意在祂所安排的地方服务,或任劳任怨地做祂所交托他们的工作。我们不满意自己履行职责的方式,这是情有可原的。但我们不可因想做别的事情而对职责本身表示不满。上帝本着自己的美意把责任分配给每一个人,犹如一剂心病的良药。祂就这样设法让人抛开自私的欲望,因为满足了这样的愿望,他们就无法胜任祂所指派他们的工作。他们如果接受和从事这项工作,他们的心就必得到医治。但他们如果拒绝,就会与自己和别人产生矛盾了。{GW 270.1}[4]
传道良助-第59章
There are many who are not satisfied to serve God cheerfully in the place that He has marked out for them, or to do uncomplainingly the work that He has placed in their hands. It is right to be dissatisfied with the way in which we perform duty, but we are not to be dissatisfied with the duty itself because we would rather do something else. In His providence God places before human beings service that will be as medicine to their diseased minds. Thus He seeks to lead them to put aside the selfish preference, which, if gratified, would disqualify them for the work He has for them. If they accept and perform this service, their minds will be cured. If they refuse it, they will be left at strife with themselves and others. {GW 270.1}[4]
传道良助-第59章
有些人没有得到安息平静的许可,他们必须不断地迁移。今夜在一处支搭帐棚,明晚又得换另一个地方。唯愿这样的人记住,是上帝在引导他们。这是上帝帮助他们造就完美品格的方法。在我们所需要的这一切变迁中,要承认上帝是我们的伴侣,向导和倚靠。{GW 270.2}[5]
传道良助-第59章
Let those who are not permitted to rest in quietude, but who must be continually on the move, pitching their tent tonight in one place and tomorrow night in another place, remember that the Lord is leading them and that this is His way of helping them to form perfect characters. In all the changes that they are required to make, God is to be recognized as their companion, their guide, their dependence. {GW 270.2}[5]
