神既然乐意......(加1:15-16)
作为神的工人,我们必须学习给神留下应有的地位,就是给祂有自由活动的空间。我们会计算量度,说这个那个会这样那样,却忘记腾出空间,给神自由进出的余地。 神若突然闯入我们的聚会中,或我们讲道时祂来了,我们会诧异吗? 不要指望神照你指定的方式来到,只要注目在祂身上,这才是给祂空间。要指望祂来,但不要限制祂只能用某种方式来。 不论我们认识神有多少,最重要的是要知道:神任何一分钟都可以裂天而降。我们很容易忽视这个突如其来的可能性,其实神做工一向就是如此。神往往出其不意地临到人当中——“神乐意......”。 经常与神保持贴近,以致神奇异的大能随时地从祂右手或左手发出。要常在期待当中,给神空间随祂的意思降临。

祈祷 噢,主啊,求祢以爱慕的枷锁将我与祢结连;在祢差派我时,以祢的眷佑环绕我;加添我的能力,以致我愈来愈能够被祢使用。

Would we be surprised if God came into our meeting or into our preaching in a way we had never expected Him to come? Do not look for God to come in a particular way, but do look for Him. The way to make room for Him is to expect Him to come, but not in a certain way. No matter how well we may know God, the great lesson to learn is that He may break in at any minute. We tend to overlook this element of surprise, yet God never works in any other way. Suddenly—God meets our life “…when it pleased God….” Keep your life so constantly in touch with God that His surprising power can break through at any point. Live in a constant state of expectancy, and leave room for God to come in as He decides.
When it pleased God… —Galatians 1:15
