依靠上帝

Jun 1, 2024

(雅各)自己独自留下。(创世记32:24,和合本此处为:只剩下雅各一人。——译者注)

我们当中许多人像雅各一样,明白“独自留下”的感受如何。亲人过世或好友分离,或经历水深火热的分居和离异,不管你有多属灵,仍会感到痛心。情感的伤痛如同身体的疼痛,你意识到事情的不妥,需要上帝带领你胜过挑战,重整巨变生活,以应对现实的沧桑。有人陪伴时,似乎还没有什么问题,当你独处之时,挣扎就真正开始上演了。事实上,没有任何人你都能够生存,但如果没有上帝,生命就难以维系。这就是有时祂会夺去一切我们所依靠的人和事的原因。祂差派某人到你的生命中帮助你建立信心、塑造品格,他们离开时你便确信上帝在掌管一切。亲人的过世,会使你经历以下几个方面:一、操练我们属灵的肌肉;二、考验我们的复原力;三、让我们经历上帝的大能。摩西过世后,留下约书亚负责重任,上帝告诉他:“过去我怎样与摩西同在,也必照样与你同在。”(约书亚记1:5)当摩西还在的时候,这是约书亚永远都不可能得知的事情。你在依靠人来解决问题的时候,是无法经历上帝的同在的。在马可福音4:39中,当耶稣斥责狂风,于是就风平浪静了。在你生活的暴风中,求祂站在你的船头,命令那些使你感到不安的事情静下来。祂必为你做成。
