經文：「萬軍之耶和華說，不是倚靠勢力，不是倚靠才能，乃是倚靠我的靈，方能成事。」（亞4:6） 有一回我在山腳下散步，看見一位小孩正騎著自行車上山。當時路又斜風又急，那孩子用盡力氣卻仍難以向前。他正感到力竭的時候，恰巧一輛無軌電車經過向著山頂駛去。那孩子趕緊抓住車後的一根橫槓，然後就不花一點力氣飛也似地上了山頂。 這時我生出一個感想：「我現在的疲乏與軟弱，就像自行車上的孩子那般。雖然使盡力氣想要上行，可是許多困難與攔阻接踵而來，使我筋疲力盡。但若是有主耶穌無限的力量可以為我使用；我只需與祂接觸和交流，雖然僅用一個信心的小指頭鉤住祂，祂的能力也已經足夠給我使用，來完成一切我所不能勝任的事情了。」 這一次，我不僅獲得一個屬靈的啟示，更把身上的重壓全都挪去。--更完美的生命 The Life of Fuller Purpose 新譯｜荒漠甘泉讀書會

Scripture: "Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith Jehovah of hosts" (Zech. 4:6). My way led up a hill, and right at the foot I saw a boy on a bicycle. He was pedalling up hill against the wind, and evidently found it a tremendously hard work. Just as he was working most strenuously and doing his best painfully, there came a trolley car going in the same direction--up the hill. It was not going too fast for the boy to get behind it, and with one hand to lay hold of the bar at the back. Then you know what happened. He went up that hill like a bird. Then it flashed upon me: "Why, I am like that boy on the bicycle in my weariness and weakness. I am pedalling up hill against all kinds of opposition, and am almost worn out with the task. But here at hand is a great available power, the strength of the Lord Jesus. "I have only to get in touch with Him and to maintain communication with Him, though it may be only one little finger of faith, and that will be enough to make His power mine for the doing of this bit of service that just now seems too much for me." And I was helped to dismiss my weariness and to realize this truth. --The Life of Fuller Purpose ｜ Mrs. Charles Cowman
