5月23日 智慧無用時




經文:「他們的智慧無法可施,於是他們在苦難中哀求耶和華,祂從他們的禍患中領出他們來。」(詩107:27-28)

你是否正處智慧無用之時?
是否正遭遇苦難困境,
你想究竟是什麼擋在前方,
令你不得不承受?
彷彿全世界都在針對你,
而你只能孤軍奮戰?
請記得,當智慧無用之時,
就是神的大能彰顯之時!

你是否正處智慧無用之時?
疲倦的痛苦蒙蔽全人,
你幾乎快無法負擔,
那難以承受的重壓。
持續的受苦使你傷痕累累,
暈眩,眼茫,失去知覺?
請記得,當智慧無用之時,
就是神的厚愛臨到之時!

你是否正處智慧無用之時?
才想擴張自己的境界,
各種謊言就開始出現,
不斷逼迫你的情感與理性;
你只能伸出顫抖的雙手,
渴望有力量再堅持下去?
請記得,當智慧無用之時,
神依然在背負你的重擔!

你是否正處智慧無用之時?
因為你所處的非常的環境,
是為領受神最奇妙的供應。
從不誤事的神,
絕對會有更光明的帶領,
你的步伐將要迅速展開;
正是在那智慧無用之時,
這就是全能的神所應許。

請不要失望,也許最後一把鑰匙,才是真正替你開門的鑰匙。--司單雪佛 Stansitfer

At Wit's End

Are you standing at "Wit's End Corner,"
Christian, with troubled brow?
Are you thinking of what is before you,
And all you are bearing now?
Does all the world seem against you,
And you in the battle alone?
Remember--at "Wit's End Corner"
Is just where God's power is shown.

Are you standing at "Wit's End Corner,"
Blinded with wearying pain,
Feeling you cannot endure it,
You cannot bear the strain,
Bruised through the constant suffering,
Dizzy, and dazed, and numb?
Remember--at "Wit's End Corner"
Is where Jesus loves to come.

Are you standing at "Wit's End Corner"?
Your work before you spread,
All lying begun, unfinished,
And pressing on heart and head,
Longing for strength to do it,
Stretching out trembling hands?
Remember--at. "Wit's End Corner"
The Burden-bearer stands.

Are you standing at "Wit's End Corner"?
Then you're just in the very spot
To learn the wondrous resources
Of Him who faileth not:
No doubt to a brighter pathway
Your footsteps will soon be moved,
But only at "Wit's End Corner"
Is the "God who is able" proved.
--Antoinette Wilson

Do not get discouraged; it may be the last key in the bunch that opens the door. --Stansifer
