奋斗与勇敢-第184章
(王上3:4-15)
“但我是幼童。……所以求祢赐我智慧,可以判断祢的民”(王上3:7,9)。{CC 189.1}[1]

1 Kings 3:4-15[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第184章
所罗门在基遍的古坛之前向上帝祈祷时所用的辞句,显明他的谦卑和他渴望尊荣上帝的意志。他知道,他若得不到上帝的帮助,而想尽到自己的职责,他就必象小孩子一样软弱无能。他知道自己没有见识,所以这种对于自己极大需要的感觉,迫使他向上帝求智慧。他心里并没有自私的奢望,要得着那足以使他高过别人的知识。他只求能够忠心地执行自己的任务,所以他拣选了那足以使他的王权归荣耀与上帝的恩赐。当所罗门承认“我是幼童,不知道应当怎样出入”时,那正是他最富足、最智慧、最伟大的时候。{CC 189.2}[2]

I am but a little child.... Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people. 1 Kings 3:7, 9. {CC 189.1}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第184章
今日担任重责的人应当学习所罗门的祈祷所给人的教训。一个人的地位越高,所负的责任越大,那么他所发挥的影响势必越为广泛,他就越需要依靠上帝。他永不可忘记:上帝什么时候呼召人为祂作工,同时也必呼召祂在同胞面前“谨慎行事”(弗5:15)。他必须以学习者的态度侍立在上帝面前。高尚的地位决不能给人带来圣洁的品格。一个人能成为真正伟大,乃是在乎尊荣上帝并谨守祂的诫命。(PK30){CC 189.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第184章
The language used by Solomon while praying to God before the ancient altar at Gibeon reveals his humility and his strong desire to honor God. He realized that without divine aid he was as helpless as a little child to fulfill the responsibilities resting on him. He knew that he lacked discernment, and it was a sense of his great need that led him to seek God for wisdom. In his heart there was no selfish aspiration for a knowledge that would exalt him above others. He desired to discharge faithfully the duties devolving upon him, and he chose the gift that would be the means of causing his reign to bring glory to God. Solomon was never so rich or so wise or so truly great as when he confessed, “I am but a little child: I know not how to go out or come in.” {CC 189.2}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第184章
我们向上帝祈求时,心中不应充满自私的愿望。上帝要我们选择那些能增进衪荣耀的恩赐。衪要我们选择属天的而不是属地的事物。衪在我们面前展示了与上天交往的前途与好处,鼓励我们追求最高的目标,得到最宝贵的财富。信徒只有排除属世的事物,才能欣赏属天的财宝。这些财宝不会因任何地上的灾难而损失。(2BC.1026){CC 189.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第184章
Those who today occupy positions of trust should seek to learn the lesson taught by Solomon’s prayer. The higher the position a man occupies, the greater the responsibility that he has to bear, the wider will be the influence that he exerts and the greater his need of dependence on God. Ever should he remember that with the call to work comes the call to walk circumspectly before his fellow men. He is to stand before God in the attitude of a learner. Position does not give holiness of character. It is by honoring God and obeying His commands that a man is made truly great.6 {CC 189.3}[4]
