美好的期待

Nov 9, 2023

“今天,耶和华必把你交在我手中,我必杀死你。”(撒母耳记上17:46)

近距格斗的胜负取决于士气,而非体型。大卫并无头衔、也未受训,但他有必胜的态度。他期望甚高,因此就“飞快地跑上去应战(歌利亚)。”(撒母耳记上17:48)扫罗和士兵都在藏匿,大卫却飞奔迎敌。那寄予了何等大的预期啊!我们谈论的不是自身的能力,而是在于“上帝的能力运行在我们里面,能够丰丰富富地成就一切,超过我们所求所想的。”(以弗所书3:20)宾夕法尼亚大学心理学教授马丁·塞利格曼(Martin Seligman)对一家大型的人寿保险公司进行调查,发现那些期盼成功的销售人员的销售额,是那些没有预期的人的两倍。研究人员发现自信和成就之间的相互关系,比智商和成就之间的相互关系更大。知道吗?住在你里面的上帝只受限于一件事情:你不能够或不情愿相信自己。你越相信自己,就越能成功。如果继续自信和期待,有一天你会发现自己在做着你曾认为不可能的事情。原因何在?因为“对上帝而言,凡事都可能。”(马太福音19:26)据说,如果米开朗基罗和他的质疑者及批评者磋商的话,就会在西斯庭教堂的地板,而不是天花板上绘画;他的作品也就不会存留后世了。事实上,伟大的成就始于美好的期待。
