停止争竞

Dec 10, 2024

决定人尊贵的是上帝:祂擢升这个,贬抑那个。(诗篇75:7)

如果不从与上帝的关系中寻找人生意义和自我价值,你就可能受诱惑穷尽一生来“毛遂自荐”。那样会使你没有安全感且很危险。原因何在?因为当别人比你先晋升时,你会感到不满,甚至试图贬低他们。在上帝的国度里,你不是靠自己来获取成功,而是从上帝那里接受。“决定人尊贵的是上帝:祂擢升这个,贬抑那个。”大卫的哥哥们在争竞成为以色列下任国王并力争先知撒母耳“首肯”时,大卫却继续照顾羊群,做上帝托付他的事。让别人竞争较量去吧!你只需持守忠心做上帝托付你的事,时机成熟时,祂就会来找你!耶稣说:“因为我的轭容易负,我的担子很轻省。”(马太福音11:30)请留意“容易”这个词。当你力图擢升自己时,你必须流汗、劳累、挣扎;而当你信靠上帝并照着祂的方式行事时,事情就会变得“容易”。这并非意味着你无需努力付出就能成功,只是意味着你不必争竞就能拥有。为什么?因为当上帝为你打开了一扇门后(参启示录3:8),就只有祂才能关闭。而祂不会关上这扇门,除非你像扫罗王那样悖逆、心怀怨恨或拒绝悔改。知道上帝掌管一切,就解除了你事奉上的压力。你想想就明白,这是唯一的生活方式。
