奋斗与勇敢-第40章
(创12:9,10)
“叫你们的信心既被试验,就比那被火试验仍然能坏的金子更显宝贵;可以在耶稣基督显现的时候,得着称赞、荣耀、尊贵”(彼前1:7)。{CC 45.1}[1]

Genesis 12:9, 10[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第40章
此后亚伯拉罕继续迁往南方。他的信心又受到了试验。有一段时间天不降雨,山谷得不到溪水的滋润,平原上的草木都枯槁了。羊群无草可食,全家都受到饥饿的威胁。这时,先祖是否要怀疑上帝的领导呢?是否要怀念迦勒底富饶的平原呢?当种种困难接连临到亚伯拉罕身上时,众人都极想知道他将要怎样行。只要他的信仰没有动摇,他们就觉得前途是仍有希望的。……{CC 45.2}[2]

That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 1:7. {CC 45.1}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第40章
亚伯拉罕不能解释上帝引导他的方式。他还没有达到他的期望,但是他仍坚信上帝的应许:“我必赐福给你,叫你的名为大,你也要叫别人得福。”他恳切祷告,要设法保全他全家和牲畜的性命,但他决不容环境来动摇他对于上帝圣言的信心。为了逃避饥荒,他便下到埃及去了。但他并没有放弃迦南地,也没有在穷途末路之时,回到他出来的不缺粮食的迦勒底去,只迁到离应许之地最近的地方暂时逃荒,打算不久仍要回到上帝所安置他的地方。{CC 45.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第40章
Abraham continued to journey southward, and again his faith was tested. The heavens withheld their rain, the brooks ceased to flow in the valleys, and the grass withered on the plains. The flocks and herds found no pasture, and starvation threatened the whole encampment. Did not the patriarch now question the leadings of Providence? Did he not look back with longing to the plenty of the Chaldean plains? All were eagerly watching to see what Abraham would do, as trouble after trouble came upon him. So long as his confidence appeared unshaken, they felt that there was hope.... {CC 45.2}[3]

上帝照着祂的旨意曾使这个试炼临到亚伯拉罕,为要给他顺服、忍耐和信心的教训。……{CC 45.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第40章
Abraham could not explain the leadings of Providence; he had not realized his expectations; but he held fast the promise, “I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing.” With earnest prayer he considered how to preserve the life of his people and his flocks, but he would not allow circumstances to shake his faith in God’s word. To escape the famine he went down into Egypt. He did not forsake Canaan, or in his extremity turn back to the Chaldean land from which he came, where there was no scarcity of bread; but he sought a temporary refuge as near as possible to the Land of Promise, intending shortly to return where God had placed him. {CC 45.3}[4]

上帝时常让试炼临到祂的子民,使他们可以籍着他们的坚忍和顺从来丰富自己的属灵生命,并使他们的榜样可以鼓励别人。“耶和华说:我知道我向你们所怀的意念,是赐平安的意念,不是降灾祸的意念”(耶29:11)。那考验我们信心最厉害的试炼,表面上似乎显明上帝已经丢弃了我们,但这正足以使我们与基督更亲近,并将一切重担卸在祂的脚前,而得到祂所赐的平安。(PP128,129){CC 45.5}[5]

The Lord in His providence had brought this trial upon Abraham to teach him lessons of submission, patience, and faith.... {CC 45.4}[5]
