滴滴香浓,意犹未尽

看!我现在已经八十五岁了。(约书亚记14:10)

当加拿大短跑选手多诺万·贝利以9.84秒跑完100米时,他被誉为世界上跑得最快的人。然而,这件事的结局可谓大不相同,因为赢取诸多盛誉,他很难接受指导和投入必要严格的训练来应对挑战。但在他获得重大胜利之后,那些对赛事进行技术分析的专家们发现了一件趣事:贝利从未失去势头。事实上,在跨越终点线时,他仍然在加速。以赛亚说:“祂赐疲乏的人能力,给软弱的人力量。”(以赛亚书40:29)充实地过生活,直到上帝呼召你回天家!迦勒就是这样的。听他怎么说的:“看!我现在已经八十五岁了,仍像当年摩西派我出去时那样身强力壮,跟当年一样能征善战。现在,求你照耶和华当日向我应许的,把这山区赐给我。……于是,约书亚便祝福耶孚尼的儿子迦勒,把希伯仑给他,作为他的产业。所以,希伯仑至今仍是基尼洗族耶孚尼的儿子迦勒的产业,因为他忠心地追随以色列的上帝耶和华。”(约书亚记14:10-14)基督徒作者阿尔玛·巴克曼(Alma Barkman)写道:“‘在我们前面的赛程’(参希伯来书12:1),我已经跑完一半了。短跑是不可能了,慢跑有风险,即便是轻快的散步也会使我气喘吁吁……在我的这个运动阶段,其实只是想好好地享受生活,但是教练不允许我随波逐流。年龄增长意味着我有更多的时间和资源来操练上帝给与的恩赐,我希望在跨越终点线时是加速,而不是减速。”或者像麦斯威尔咖啡广告所说的一样:“滴滴香浓,意犹未尽!”
