然而……

结果大卫的军队攻取了锡安的堡垒。(撒母耳记下5:7)

当大卫在公元前1000年打探到耶路撒冷城的时候,那曾是一座由宿敌占据,令人望而生畏的堡垒。敌人公然宣告:“你攻不进来,就连我们这里的瞎子、瘸子都可以把你赶走。”(撒母耳记下5:6)这是结局吗?不,故事才刚刚开始呐!城墙高大,敌人气焰嚣张,声音咄咄逼人。然而,“结果大卫的军队攻取了锡安的堡垒……大卫住在锡安的堡垒里,并称之为大卫城。”(撒母耳记下5:7-9)这就是所说的“转败为胜”。你的堡垒是什么?就是撒旦能牢牢控制你的地方,是你那尖锐的舌头?论断的态度?自卑的心态?击败你的顽固陋习?当敌人说“你被困住,永远出不来”时,上帝说:“然而(即便或不管表面上的情况如何)……”堡垒对上帝来说算不上什么;祂的大能可以摧毁坚固的营垒(参哥林多后书10:4)。你一旦明白以下两个重要的原则,祂为大卫所做的,也能为你做:一、两个声音为了得到你的关注而不断地争竞,一个说:“你能做到。别放弃!” 而另一个说:“这是无望的事情;你永远也做不到!”你要效法大卫的做法,操练选择性地去听。屏蔽“堡垒”里发出的讪笑声;不要跟魔鬼对话,倒要照着耶稣的吩咐,说:“撒旦,退到我后面去!”(马太福音16:23)二、透过信心的眼睛来看事情。别人看到的是城墙,但大卫看到的是通道;别人定睛在问题上,他却寻找可能性。因为他做了没人能预料的事情,所以他所成就的是没人能洞见的。因此,靠着上帝的帮助,你也能做到。
