你有梦想吗?(之二)

Sep 14, 2023

即使缓慢,也要等候,因为这事终必发生,不再迟延。(哈巴谷书2:3)

许多人试图实现上帝未曾赐给他们的梦想,以至于筋疲力尽。那么,他们的梦想从何而来呢?一、他们生命中的主流影响;二、向他人“证明”自我的需要;三、他们尚未解决的问题:比如借此试图赢得父母的爱,或要表现出像他们兄弟姐妹和同龄人那样有天赋;在某些情况下,可能是要赢得大教会牧师的认同。亚伯拉罕好不容易才学会这个功课。上帝应许赐他一个儿子,但他失去耐心,担心自己老迈,便接受错误的建议,结果生了以实玛利。你所有的祷告、计划和推进都不会使错误的方向变成正确的道路,所以要当心!况且,上帝不会赐你能力去实现祂放在别人心里的梦想。因此,拿自己跟他人比较是愚蠢的。上帝并不给你祂已经应许别人的。你是独特的,祂对你的人生计划也是如此。犯此类错误的人最终会有失败和受挫感,因为他们总是以别人的任务来衡量自己的能力。如果上帝没有恩赐你经管此事,你会自己疲惫不堪并累及他人。你要分辨自己的梦想渊源。即便它是上帝所赐,你还是会经历失望、灰心和延迟。事实上,梦想越大,你所遭受的攻击也会越大。然而,只要内心深处明白你的梦想是上帝赐予的,你就能够在困难时期坚持不懈,也会得到诗篇作者那样的保证:“耶和华必成就祂为我所定的计划。”(诗篇138:8)
