上帝使你摆脱取悦他人

Sep 1, 2024

“我将把你从你的同胞和外族人手中救出来。我差遣你到他们那里……”(使徒行传26:17)

保罗在大马士革的路上遇见耶稣后,便开始了他的事奉。主在那次令他谦卑的相遇中告诉他:“你站起来。我向你显现,是要派你做我的仆人和见证人,把你所看见的和以后我将启示给你的事告诉世人。我将把你从你的同胞和外族人手中救出来。我差遣你到他们那里,去开他们的眼睛,使他们弃暗投明……”(使徒行传26:16-18)在保罗成功地回应呼召和有效地服侍之前,他必须摆脱对人的惧怕;其中既包括对他深入了解的人,又有他素不相识的人。他必须摆脱获得别人认可的这一需要。实质上,上帝是这样跟他说的:“你只不过是个信差。有时人们喜欢你所派送的,有时却不。不管怎样,你都得派送信件。因此,我现在将你从对他人排斥的惧怕,以及对他人认同的需要中解救出来,使你得自由。”上帝呼召你进行特别的事工吗?你会害怕自己出错?请相信——你会的!你会担心受到批评吗?这是不可避免的!人们会以无数不同的方式使你失望,但如果你立志去行上帝的旨意,那就祷告:“主啊,求你救我脱离对取悦他人的需要,以便我能与他们分享你所赐给我的一切。”接着继续你的事工!
