你要留意

“这是正路,踏上去吧!”(以赛亚书30:21)

詹姆斯·米切纳(James Michener)说,邻居的苹果树不结果了,他就绕着树干钉了一圈生锈的钉子。那一年他的苹果获得了最好的收成。他说:“钉钉进去,使树猛然醒悟,原来它的工作是结果子。”也许这没有科学根据,但起作用!米切纳解释说,他的心脏搭桥手术、髋骨关节手术和晕眩是是上帝钉在他“生命的树干”上的钉子,使得他去留心!意识到自己在这世上不会永远活下去,他殷勤工作,在五年间里写了十一本书,包括畅销书。“被管教的滋味绝不好受,当时都很痛苦,但事后那些受过管教的人会收获公义和平安的果子。”(希伯来书12:11)弗德尔·戴维斯(Verdell Davis)说:“有些事我们可以且应该从中获益。例如:减少物质享受可以简化我们的生活;临床抑郁症可以促使我们寻求帮助,找到更健康的生活方式和人际关系;失去一份干得出色的工作,可以让我们发现自己未知的天赋和才干。失去某些身体机能可以推动我们发挥其他执行功能,从而丰富所有邂逅我们的生命。”哈罗德·撒拉(Harold Sala)也说:“让我们正视现实:当那些生锈的钉子楔入我们的生命,引起我们的注意,生命就变得富有成效。它们发出劝诫,让我们着手眼前。天父的爱容许钉锤击打,从而激励我们彻底完成祂的旨意。”因此,当接到上帝给你敲的警钟“这是正路,踏上去吧!”这时,你要留心听!
