继续装备自己

Jun 14, 2024

“我见过伯利恒耶西的一个儿子,他善于弹琴……”(撒母耳记上16:18)

大卫并不是在歌利亚出现的时候,投石器突然百发百中,或者在扫罗王邀请他到王宫去的那一刻,骤然变成一个竖琴大师。他是经过长期、缓慢的训练才达到了那样的境界。大卫根本无法预知自己的未来,只不过是在发现和发挥自己的天分时得到喜乐和满足。你个人成长的最大障碍并不是无知,而是在知识上的幻觉,相信自己已经“进入佳境”。如果这样,你就停止成长。这也意味着你完结了!你生活在哪个地带?挑战区——我尝试做自己以前没做过的事,舒适区——我只做自己已经知道能做的事,下滑区——我甚至都不做之前所做过的事。菲利普斯·布鲁克斯(Phillips Brooks)说:“一个人摸索、知道自己应该并打算要做的更大的事情,但哪一天当他停止渴望去做,完全满足于自己的生活状况、思想意识和所行所为时,将会很悲哀。”大卫的弟兄们知道他的技巧,但没有人将这事告诉扫罗王。你应该受到鼓舞,因为没有他们你也能做到!“其中有一个仆人说,‘我见过伯利恒耶西的一个儿子,他善于弹琴,英勇善战……’”(撒母耳记上16:18)大卫并没有跟弟兄们竞争或因自己是牧童而抱怨。他反而不断地加深与上帝之间的关系,磨练自己的技巧。上帝的时间到了,祂就提升他。因此,继续装备你自己。
