1月27日 再三思量

不要为生命忧虑。

今世的忧虑,钱财的迷惑,及其他的私欲一点进入我们心中,就会把神所赐予的生命窒息,这是必须再三告诫的。属世的东西势如潮涌,连连进击,使我们无法摆脱。若不从衣食而来,就会从金钱或贫乏而来;不从朋友而来,就从孤独无友而来;甚至又会从困境而来。这些东西不住地、逐步地蚕食我们属灵的生命,除非我们让圣灵来抵抗,否则这些东西将如洪水泛滥,淹没我们。

“不要为生命忧虑。”主说:“只要关心一件事便够了,那就是你与我的关系。”我们会理性地大声疾呼,说:“真是无稽,我不能不为生计打算,打算吃什么喝什么啊!”耶稣却说不可。不要以为说这话的主根本不明白我们的境况。其实耶稣基督知道得比我们更清楚。他说,我们不应该把这些事当作生活中唯一需要关注的事。什么时候属世的事务与主相争,就要把你和神的关系摆在前头。

“一天的难处一天当就够了。”今日有多少难处在向你威吓?有什么顽童小鬼在窥探说:“看你下个月怎么办?暑期又如何?”耶稣说:“应当一无挂虑。”请你再三思想,慎加明辨!把你的心思放在天父的“何况你们”这一句话上吧。

祈祷◆噢,主啊,使我离开那些关乎感官和时间的事情,引导我进入与大君王同在之境地。保守我的心思意念全属于你。

January 27 Look Again And Think

“Take no thought for your life.” Matthew 6:25

A warning which needs to be reiterated is that the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the lust of other things entering in, will choke all that God puts in. We are never free from the recurring tides of this encroachment. If it does not come on the line of clothes and food, it will come on the line of money or lack of money; of friends or lack of friends; or on the line of difficult circumstances. It is one steady encroachment all the time, and unless we allow the Spirit of God to raise up the standard against it, these things will come in like a flood.

“Take no thought for your life.” “Be careful about one thing only,” says our Lord – “your relationship to Me.” Common sense shouts loud and says – “That is absurd, I must consider how I am going to live, I must consider what I am going to eat and drink.” Jesus says you must not. Beware of allowing the thought that this statement is made by One Who does not understand our particular circumstances. Jesus Christ knows our circumstances better than we do, and He says we must not think about these things so as to make them the one concern of our life. Whenever there is competition, be sure that you put your relationship to God first.

“Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.” How much evil has begun to threaten you to-day? What kind of mean little imps have been looking in and saying – Now what are you going to do next month – this summer? “Be anxious for nothing,” Jesus says. Look again and think. Keep your mind on the “much more” of your heavenly Father.
