奋斗与勇敢-第198章
(代下14:)
“亚撒呼求耶和华他的上帝,说:耶和华啊,惟有祢能帮助软弱的,胜过强盛的;耶和华我们的上帝啊,求祢帮助我们;因为我们仰赖祢,奉祢的名来攻击这大军。耶和华啊,祢是我们的上帝;不要容人胜过祢”(代下14:11)。{CC 203.1}[1]

2 Chronicles 14[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第198章
“有古实王谢拉率领军兵一百万,战车三百辆”入侵(代下14:9),于是亚撒的信心受了一次严重的考验。在这危急之秋,亚撒并没有依靠自己在犹大地所建造“四围筑墙、盖楼、安门、作闩”的坚固城邑,也没有依靠自己所训练的“大能的勇士”(代下14:6-8)。王却依靠……万军之耶和华的圣名。他带领军兵出去迎敌,同时呼求上帝的帮助。{CC 203.2}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第198章
And Asa cried unto the Lord his God, and said, Lord, it is nothing with thee to help, whether with many, or with them that have no power: help us, O Lord our God; for we rest on thee, and in thy name we go against this multitude. O Lord, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee. 2 Chronicles 14:11. {CC 203.1}[2]

这时,两军摆阵相对了。这正是那些侍奉耶和华的人受考验和试炼的时候。他们是否已经承认每一件罪了呢?犹大人是否完全信赖上帝施行拯救的能力呢?在领袖们心中,都存有这一类的想法。在人看来,那从埃及来的大军必然势如破竹,所向披靡。幸而亚撒在国内太平的时候没有追求宴游娱乐,却随时准备应付危机。他有一支训练有素的军队;他曾尽力领导百姓与上帝和好。这时,他的军队与敌军比起来虽然众寡不敌,但他对于所倚赖之主的信心却未消减。{CC 203.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第198章
The faith of Asa was put to a severe test when “Zerah the Ethiopian with an host of a thousand thousand, and three hundred chariots,” invaded his kingdom. In this crisis Asa did not put his trust in the “fenced cities in Judah” that he had built, with “walls, and towers, gates, and bars,” nor in the “mighty men of valor” in his carefully trained army. The king’s trust was in Jehovah of hosts.... Setting his forces in battle array, he sought the help of God. {CC 203.2}[3]

王既在兴盛的日子常寻求耶和华,就能在这困难的时候依靠祂了。他的恳求足以显明他对于上帝奇妙的能力并不是没有认识的。……{CC 203.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第198章
The opposing armies now stood face to face. It was a time of test and trial to those who served the Lord. Had every sin been confessed? Had the men of Judah full confidence in God’s power to deliver? Such thoughts as these were in the minds of the leaders. From every human viewpoint the vast host from Egypt would sweep everything before it. But in time of peace Asa had not been giving himself to amusement and pleasure; he had been preparing for any emergency. He had an army trained for conflict; he had endeavored to lead his people to make their peace with God. And now, although his forces were fewer in number than the enemy, his faith in the One whom he had made his trust did not weaken. {CC 203.3}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第198章
亚撒的祷告乃是每一个基督信徒所要奉献的。……在人生的斗争中,我们必须应付那敌对正义的恶势力。我们的希望不在人,而在永生的上帝。我们可以凭着充足的信心,希望上帝把祂的全能与人类的努力联合起来,为要荣耀祂的圣名。我们可以穿戴上帝所赐公义的军装,以便得胜每一个仇敌。(PK110-111){CC 203.5}[5]
奋斗与勇敢-第198章
Having sought the Lord in the days of prosperity, the king could now rely upon Him in the day of adversity. His petitions showed that he was not a stranger to God’s wonderful power.... {CC 203.4}[5]
