經文：「羅得離別亞伯蘭以後，耶和華對亞伯蘭說，從你所有的地方，你舉目向東北西南觀看，凡你所看見的一切，我都要賜給你和你的後裔，直到永遠。」 (創13:14-15) 除非聖靈有成全你的目的，否則不會給你任何啓示。得到啓示以後，你要讓信心高飛遠揚，凡你所發現的一切土地，都能歸屬於你。--S.A.Keen 在信心的祝福中所能領受的一切，都是爲你所有。所以要儘可能地往遠看，因爲眼目所及的全都屬你。凡以基督徒的身份所盼望的，以及希望爲神效勞的，全都包含在信心的範圍中。 請再靠近一點並開啓你的心扉，好讓全身全靈接受祂降臨的洗禮。當祂啓發你的智慧使你看到祂的豐富時，請相信，祂所有所做的都是爲了你。所以要領受神應許的一切承諾，接受祂所提示你的各個願望。接住耶穌為信徒成就的每次機會，凡目光所及的土地就全賜予你。 祂以恩寵所賜的真糧食，來自人內心的領悟。祂給候鳥啓示，使它飛越大陸到南方去尋見夏季的陽光，就絕不會騙牠。祂不只使候鳥領悟這個啓示，同時還給芳香的微風與和暖的陽光同樣的啓示，要他們在遙遠的南方迎接候鳥的來臨。 祂在我們心中注入對於天國的盼望，當我們朝著目標奮勇向前的時候，祂決不會欺騙我們或使我們失望。因為「他們去了，所遇見的，正如耶穌所說的。」( 路22:13 ) 新譯｜荒漠甘泉讀書會

Scripture: "Look from the place where thou art, northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: for all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it" (Gen. 13:14-15). No instinct can be put in you by the Holy Ghost but He purposes to fulfill. Let your faith then rise and soar away and claim all the land you can discover. --S. A. Keen All you can apprehend in the vision of faith is your own. Look as far as you can, for it is all yours. All that you long to be as a Christian, all that you long to do for God, are within the possibilities of faith. Then come, still closer, and with your Bible before you, and your soul open to all the influences of the Spirit, let your whole being receive the baptism of His presence; and as He opens your understanding to see all His fulness, believe He has it all for you. Accept for yourself all the promises of His word, all the desires He awakens within you, all the possibilities of what you may be as a follower of Jesus. All the land you see is given to you. The actual provisions of His grace come from the inner vision. He who puts the instinct in the bosom of yonder bird to cross the continent in search of summer sunshine in the Southern clime is too good to deceive it, and just as surely as He has put the instinct in its breast, so has He also put the balmy breezes and the vernal sunshine yonder to meet it when it arrives. He who breathes into our hearts the heavenly hope, will not deceive or fail us when we press forward to its realization. --Selected "And they found as he had said unto them" (Luke 22:13). ｜ Mrs. Charles Cowman
