就是如此

耶和华悦纳亚伯和他的祭物,却不悦纳该隐和他的祭物。(创世记4:4-5)

该隐开垦田地,撒种,收割,并且把劳动成果献给上帝。他认为这样会打动上帝,从而有义务祝福他。不过,这行不通!相反,亚伯告诉上帝:“我没有做什么。我所献给你的羊,是你创造的。我只是将本来属于你的东西,回报给你,求你赐福于我的祭物。”上帝就这么做了!从某人对待上帝的态度,你可以更多地了解他。有些人表现得好像是上帝亏欠了我们似的。还有些人则为自己的属灵地位和成就而得意洋洋,以致觉得有必要以崇高的措辞和响亮的尊称来让上帝悦纳。然而,上帝不为所动,所以让我们面对现实吧!“耶和华悦纳亚伯和他的祭物。”那是因为亚伯和他的哥哥不同,他没有在任何事情上归功于己,而是希望上帝得到一切的荣耀;正是这种奉献感动了上帝的心,并吸引祂丰盛的祝福临到我们的生命。那么,你今天要奉献给上帝什么呢?你的成就?你的宗派资历?你的自给自足?你浅薄的感情?果真如此,就别费心了!上帝唯一的要求,就是你谦卑地敞开自己的心,让祂在里面重塑耶稣的形象。当你这样做时,美妙的事情就会发生。轻看个人得失,并向上帝敬奉合宜的礼物,祂不仅会悦纳你的奉献,而且会祝福你并装备你去祝福他人。就是如此!
