耶利米書十七章5-8節
神的小僕人
 
經文:
5 耶和華如此說:倚靠人血肉的膀臂,心中離棄耶和華的,那人有禍了。
6 因他必像沙漠的杜松,不見福樂來到,卻要住曠野乾旱之處,無人居住的鹼地。
7 倚靠耶和華,以耶和華為可靠的,那人有福了。
8 他必像樹栽於水旁,在河邊扎根,炎熱來到,並不懼怕,葉子仍必青翠,在乾旱之年毫無掛慮,而且結果不止。
 
人的本性就是相信自己的眼睛,看到的我們才信。先知提醒我們,若我們只倚靠人,而忘記了上帝的能力,不懂得轉向神倚靠祂,這就是我們最大的損失。懂得倚靠耶和華,專心尋求祂的旨意,並全然的相信祂,這是我們的福氣。
 
今天你面對什麼挑戰呢?聖經三番四次的提醒我們,要倚靠耶和華,不要倚靠人的能力,人的幫助,反而要單單的仰望我們的神。信心就是這樣慢慢建立起來的。
 
禱告: 天父,今天的經文說: 倚靠耶和華,以耶和華為可靠的,那人有福了。他必像樹栽於水旁,在河邊扎根,炎熱來到,並不懼怕,葉子仍必青翠,在乾旱之年毫無掛慮,而且結果不止(7-8節)。願我們都成為這樣的人,信心也不斷被主建立。奉耶穌的名禱告,阿們!
 
Jeremiah 17:5-8
 
Human nature is that we trust what we see. We tend to turn to men for help but not God and it ends as our greatest loss.  The prophet reminds us to trust in the Lord and leave all our cares onto Him.
 
Have we experienced the help of God and His relief in crisis?  Are we facing difficulties today? The Bible repeatedly reminds us to turn to God, but not our own device or human wisdom.  This is faith, trust in Him, and it is how it gradually grows as we experience the deliverance of God.
