第16天:司布真清晨甘露(1月16日)
经文:耶和华说:我必帮助你。(以赛亚书41:14)
今晨让我们听主耶稣对我们每个人说:“我必帮助你。
”“帮助你”,在我——你的神,实在是一件小事。你想想我已经为你所做的,还会不帮助你吗?我曾用自己的血把你买了来。为什么会不帮助你呢?我曾为你死,我曾为你完成了更大的事,还不为你做这小事帮助你吗?
我为你做的这一件事,算不得什么,我曾为你做过很多,而且还要做很多的事。在创世之先我拣选了你,我为你立了约,我为你撇弃了荣耀成为一个人,我为你舍生;我既为你做了这样的事,我现在当然要帮助你的。
为了帮助你,我把我所为你买来的都给了你。若你需要千万倍的帮助,我必准你;你所要的,比起我所预备要给你的,实在是太仓一粟,并不算什么。
要“帮助你”吗?不要怕!若是一只蚂蚁到你的仓房门前讨一粒谷,你扔给他一把麦,那并不会使你破产的;你在我全备的门前也不过是一只小虫子。“我必帮助你!”
我的心哪!这还不够吗?三位一体之神的全能还不够你用的吗?父所有的智慧,子所彰显的爱,或是圣灵所现出的能力还不够你需用的吗?你的需要会超过这些之外吗?
把你的空瓶带来!这个泉源的水一定会给你充满的。快,把你一切的需要都带到这里来——你的空虚,你的悲哀,你的需要。看哪!神的江河足够供给你的需要,除此之外你还要什么呢?我的心哪!这样你只管向前进吧!永生的神是你的帮助!
“莫怕,我与你同在,勿惊惶失措!我,我是你的神,我仍然赐你帮助。”
Scripture: “I will help thee, saith the Lord.”(Isaiah 41:14)
This morning let us hear the Lord Jesus speak to each one of us: “I will help thee.” “It is but a small thing for me, thy God, to help thee. Consider what I have done already. What! not help thee? Why, I bought thee with my blood. What! not help thee? I have died for thee; and if I have done the greater, will I not do the less? Help thee! It is the least thing I will ever do for thee; I have done more, and will do more. Before the world began I chose thee. I made the covenant for thee. I laid aside my glory and became a man for thee; I gave up my life for thee; and if I did all this, I will surely help thee now. In helping thee, I am giving thee what I have bought for thee already. If thou hadst need of a thousand times as much help, I would give it thee; thou requirest little compared with what I am ready to give. ‘Tis much for thee to need, but it is nothing for me to bestow. ‘Help thee?’ Fear not! If there were an ant at the door of thy granary asking for help, it would not ruin thee to give him a handful of thy wheat; and thou art nothing but a tiny insect at the door of my all-sufficiency. ‘I will help thee.’”
O my soul, is not this enough? Dost thou need more strength than the omnipotence of the United Trinity? Dost thou want more wisdom than exists in the Father, more love than displays itself in the Son, or more power than is manifest in the influences of the Spirit? Bring hither thine empty pitcher! Surely this well will fill it. Haste, gather up thy wants, and bring them here—thine emptiness, thy woes, thy needs. Behold, this river of God is full for thy supply; what canst thou desire beside? Go forth, my soul, in this thy might. The Eternal God is thine helper!
“Fear not, I am with thee, oh, be not dismay’d!
I, I am thy God, and will still give thee aid.”
