你在逃避上帝吗?(之二)

耶和华第二次对约拿说……(约拿书3:1)

约拿在鱼腹中认真地祷告,悔改自己的偏见并学习爱他藐视的人。也是在那时他才愿意去宣讲不受欢迎的信息。你还会留意到其他事情:直到约拿悔改,上帝才介入。我们大多数人都希望上帝采取行动先于自己,不是的。约拿先行动,上帝才回应。祂发命令,鱼就将约拿吐在陆地上,于是这位逃跑的先知才询问去尼尼微的方向。有时由于我们的悖逆,直到下次的婚姻我们才经营好;由于我们的悖逆,直到50岁才通晓事理;由于我们的悖逆,直到后来才克服恶习,尽管我们原本早些就能做成。如同约拿,我们必须沉下去才明白。然而,不问代价,上帝都会成就。你要么自行去尼尼微,要么上帝会带你去。但第一次听而顺服比较容易。约拿的故事证明上帝给人第二次机会。“耶和华第二次对约拿说……”好消息是,即便你逃避上帝,使自己的生活遭受“海难”,觉得奄奄一息,但只要转向祂,祂就会救赎并重建你。对于婚姻、事工或职业,祂会给你第二次机会。然而,有个条件,就是上帝不会迁就你而改变祂的旨意,因此,你需要改变心态,遵照上帝所说的去做,好吧?
