Waiting Upon God, July 24
奋斗与勇敢-第206章
(王上18:41-46)
“以利亚对亚哈说:你现在可以上去吃喝,因为有多雨的响声了”(王上18:41)。{CC 211.1}[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第206章
1 Kings 18:41-46[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第206章
以利亚之所以能够这么有把握地吩咐亚哈准备应付大雨,并不是因为外表上有什么将要降雨的迹象。先知没有看见云彩,也没有听到雷声。他只是说出耶和华的灵应答他坚强信心的话。……如今,他既已尽到力量地行了这一切的事,他深知上帝必大量倾降所预应许的福惠。这同一位降下旱灾的上帝已经应许沛降甘霖,报赏义行;如今,以利亚等待这所应许中的大雨。他以谦卑的态度“屈身在地,将脸伏在两膝之中,”为悔改的以色列众民向上帝代求。……{CC 211.2}[2]

And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain. 1 Kings 18:41. {CC 211.1}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第206章
仆人六次回来都说那“变为铜”的天没有什么降雨的迹象。以利亚毫不灰心地再差仆人去看一次;这一次仆人回来说:“我看见有一小片云从海里上来,不过如人手那样大”(王上18:43,44)。{CC 211.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第206章
It was not because of any outward evidence that the showers were about to fall, that Elijah could so confidently bid Ahab prepare for rain. The prophet saw no clouds in the heavens; he heard no thunder. He simply spoke the word that the Spirit of the Lord had moved him to speak in response to his own strong faith.... Having done all that was in his power to do, he knew that Heaven would freely bestow the blessings foretold. The same God who had sent the drought had promised an abundance of rain as the reward of rightdoing; and now Elijah waited for the promised outpouring. In an attitude of humility, “his face between his knees,” he interceded with God in behalf of penitent Israel.... {CC 211.2}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第206章
这就够了。以利亚并没有等候天空乌云密布。他凭着信心在这一小片云中看出大量的雨水;他的行动与信心相称。……当他祷告的时候,他伸出信心的手握住上天的应许;而且恒切祷告,直到他的祈求蒙了应允。他没有等待那证明上帝已经垂听他的充分凭据,却愿意根据神恩的最微小的征兆而大胆相信一切。他在上帝的能力之下所作的事,乃是人人在他们为上帝作工的范围之内所可能作的。……{CC 211.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第206章
Six times the servant returned with the word that there was no sign of rain in the brassy heavens. Undaunted, Elijah sent him forth once more; and this time the servant returned with the word, “Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man’s hand.” {CC 211.3}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第206章
像这样的信心乃是今日的世界所需要的,──就是握住上帝的应许,非到上天垂听而决不放松的信心。……{CC 211.5}[5]
奋斗与勇敢-第206章
This was enough. Elijah did not wait for the heavens to gather blackness. In that small cloud he beheld by faith an abundance of rain; and he acted in harmony with his faith.... As he prayed, his faith reached out and grasped the promises of Heaven, and he persevered in prayer until his petitions were answered. He did not wait for the full evidence that God had heard him, but was willing to venture all on the slightest token of divine favor. And yet what he was enabled to do under God, all may do in their sphere of activity in God’s service.... {CC 211.4}[5]
奋斗与勇敢-第206章
我们也可以用雅各那坚忍不拔的信心,和以利亚不屈不挠的恒心,向天父上帝呈上我们的恳求,提说祂一切的应许。上帝以祂宝座的荣誉作为实现祂应许的保证。(PK155-157){CC 211.6}[6]
奋斗与勇敢-第206章
Faith such as this is needed in the world today—faith that will lay hold on the promises of God’s word and refuse to let go until Heaven hears.... {CC 211.5}[6]
