小香柏树

Nov 27, 2023

散发着黎巴嫩的荣耀……(以赛亚书35:2)

所罗门使用黎巴嫩的香柏树来建造圣殿。当圣殿造成后,上帝的荣耀就充满它。让我们看看上帝仍然使用来建造祂的教会的四种不同“香柏树”。其中一种是小香柏树。它们被使用来做羊圈围栏的柱子。有一位导游说他看到一辆满载小香柏树的货车,行驶在坑坑洼洼、迂回曲折的路上,尽管那些树没有绑成一捆,但居然没有一棵掉下来。多么协调和稳定的画面啊!这些人能够胜过人生道路崎岖、曲折的挑战。据说,人不能决定自己的未来,但能决定自己的习惯,而习惯决定未来。“小香柏树”般的人有如下的习惯:一、祷告。他们向上帝祷告,然后花时间倾听:“每天早晨,主唤醒我,叫我像受教者那样侧耳聆听。”(以赛亚书50:4)二、研读《圣经》“以斯拉定意研读、遵行耶和华的律法,并在以色列教导律例和典章。”(以斯拉记7:10)你预备自己的心来接受并乐意顺服上帝的话语吗?三、作见证。“你们是我的证人。”(以赛亚书43:10)证人在法庭上的可信度决定了哪一方获胜。你的见证有多可靠?四、十一奉献。“你要用自己的财富和一切初熟的物产来尊崇耶和华,祂必使你五谷满仓,榨酒池溢出新酿。”(箴言3:9-10)你说:“但是,我付完账单以后,已经所剩无几了。”上帝要居于你钱财的首位,而不是末位。当你把祂摆在首位,祂的祝福将会流淌到你生命的各个领域。
