艰难举措

Aug 17, 2023

有耶和华与我同在,我必不惧怕。(诗篇118:6)

《圣经》里所有的英雄们都有瑕疵,内在性情有天壤之别。然而,他们却有一个共性:愿意做艰难的决定。请留意:一、艰难的决定需要冒险。当苏联在1940年占领并吞并拉脱维亚时,美国驻里加的副领事担心那个城市的美国红十字会的物品遭受洗劫。因此,他向远在华盛顿的国务院申请,允许他将美国国旗悬挂在红十字架的上方,以防止任何人抢窃。国务卿办公室回电:“这种行为没有先例。”当副领事收到这个电文后,爬上柱子,亲自将美国国旗用钉子钉到柱子上,然后给国务院回复:“自即日起,我已经确立了先例。”二、艰难的决定需要品格。查克·斯温德尔(Chuck Swindoll)写道:“勇气并不限于战场或者印第安纳波利斯500英里大奖赛,或者在自家勇敢地抓贼。真正的勇气考验要安静得多。它们是内心的考验,就像君子慎独,就像在空无一人的房间隐忍痛苦,就像孤单承受误解。”不管你是在带领家庭、公司或教会,都很容易抱怨。为艰难时期感谢上帝吧,这是需要你做领袖的原因。如果一切都进展顺利,就不需要你了。当你必须做出艰难的决定时,可以在这句话中找到信心:“有耶和华与我同在,我必不惧怕。”
