学会倾听上帝的声音

Oct 2, 2023

……羊群也跟着他,因为羊认得他的声音。(约翰福音10:4)

一天傍晚,有位朋友来拜访彼得·洛德(Peter Lord)。他说他能在彼得的花园里听到至少18种蟋蟀的不同叫声。彼得很惊讶,他久居此地,却从未听到一只蟋蟀。区别在于这位朋友是昆虫学家,他学会用耳朵区分两百多种不同蟋蟀的叫声。想象一下学会倾听蟋蟀的声音!回顾往事,彼得写道:“我突然间明白了,一个人必须想听,才学会听。有许多的声音,是我听不见的。”想想这么多年来你都错过了什么,因为你并不想或学会聆听上帝对你说话的声音。上帝通常会通过他人对我们说话,但恰恰是这个渠道,会削弱我们倾听上帝声音的心愿。以色列的子民对摩西说:“求你跟我们说话,我们必听从。不要让上帝直接跟我们说话。”(出埃及记20:19)问题在于,当你只是间接地听上帝的话语,就很难真正委身,或顺服所听到的。然而,当知道上帝亲自对你说话,你就必须做出明确的决定。耶稣说:“……羊群也跟着他,因为羊认得他的声音。”查验《圣经》里的“英雄人物”,你会发现他们全都是美中不足的!那么,是什么使他们有能力成就丰功伟绩?他们倾听了上帝的声音!在你的生命中,绝对没有什么比学会在上帝亲临话语时倾听祂的声音更重要了。
