1-6-2008── 主要用我嗎? Will Lord use me?
金 句:「上帝又揀選了世上軟弱的,叫那強壯的羞愧。」(哥林多前書1:27)
God chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think
they are wise. (1 Corinthians 1:27)
上帝的作為往往彰顯在那些願意被他使用的平凡人,而不是那些「偉人」身上。我們可大膽的向主說:「主啊,我一無是處,又無恩賜,且又是個失敗者,你真的願意用我嗎?」
God's achievement often shows in use of those who are ordinary people, rather
than those who are "great men". We might boldly say to the Lord : "Lord , I am
nothing, no gift and a loser, are you really willing to use me?"
這問題可清楚得從聖經中找到答案,上帝使用笨口拙舌的摩西(出埃及記3:13,4:10)、甚至牧羊人、漁夫及農夫,來完成他的偉大事工並寫下他的話語,並讓一位平凡的木匠與農村女孩將他的兒子耶穌撫育成人。
This problem can be found a clear answer from the Bible, God uses Moses who is
awkward in speech (Exodus 3:13,4:10), and even shepherds, fishermen and farmers,
to complete His work and write His words, and allow an ordinary carpenter and
rural girl be his son Jesus' parents.
時至今日,主仍繼續差派平凡的人。縱使我們有超級法寶、大眾傳播、超級大教會,但成就上帝特別事工的,仍是那群願意被上帝使用的平凡人。有個祖母不斷地為十四個孫兒代禱,並一一地與他們談論信仰;一位文職人員不斷在工作中作見證;也有位基督徒在鄰居的小孩住院期間,為這位尚未信主的鄰居準備食物,並告訴鄰居她會不斷地為他們代禱。
Today, the Lord continues to send
the ordinary people. Even though we have a super magic weapon, the mass, Super
Church, but achieving God's special things is still the ordinary people who are
willing to be used by God. There is a grandmother constantly pray for her 14
grandchildren, and talks about faith with each of them; A civil servant makes
the testimony unceasingly in the work; Also a Christian neighbor's child in the
hospital, she prepares food for neighbors who have not yet believed, and tells
them she will continue to pray for them.
當我們問主說:「上帝啊,你真的要用我嗎?」我想答案是非常明確的。主親自揀選「世上軟弱的,叫那強壯的羞愧。」(哥林多前書1:27)
When we ask the Lord : "God , do you really use me?" I think the answer is very
clear. Lord personally chose "things the world considers foolish in order to
shame those who think they are wise." (1 Corinthians 1:27)
幾千年來,主不斷的使用像你、我這般平凡的人;今日,不要懷疑,他仍要繼續使用我們!我的靈雖常渴慕 美好的天堂國度 但主要我留世上,愛人並為人服務。
For several thousand years, God uses constantly the ordinary people just like you and me; Today, no doubt, he will continue to use us! Although my spirit often admires beautiful kingdom of heaven but Lord wants me to keep in the world, love and serve for others.
