Elijah Refused to Be Discouraged, July 18
上帝的儿女-第201章
第七次仆人说:「我看见有一小片云从海里上来,不过如人手那样大」。以利亚说:「你上去,告诉亚哈,当套车下去,免得被雨阻挡」(王上18:44)。{SD206.1}[1]
上帝的儿女-第201章
Men of Courage Needed
And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man’s hand. And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, Prepare thy chariot, and get thee down, that the rain stop thee not.1 Kings 18:44.{SD 206.1}[1]
上帝的儿女-第201章
以利亚的经验给我们带来许多重要的教训。当他在迦密山上求雨之时,他的信心受到了考验。但他坚持向上帝提出他的要求。他六次恳求,仍没有得到应允的迹象,但他仍以坚定的信心在施恩宝座前恳求。他若在第六次祈祷时灰心,他的祈祷就得不到应允。……我们上帝的耳朵并非闭塞听不见我们的祈求。如果我们为祂的话作见证,祂必尊重我们的信心。祂希望将我们的利益与祂的利益融合在一起,这样,祂就能放心地赐福给我们了。因为福气虽已属于我们,我们仍不会将荣耀归于自己,而要将一切荣耀都归给上帝。上帝并不一定在我们第一次向祂祈求时就答应我们。因为如果这样,我们可能会认为自己理应得到祂所赐的一切福气和宠爱。{SD206.2}[2]
上帝的儿女-第201章
Important lessons are presented to us in the experience of Elijah. When upon Mt. Carmel he offered the prayer for rain, his faith was tested, but he persevered in making known his request unto God. Six times he prayed earnestly, and yet there was no sign that his petition was granted, but with a strong faith he urged his plea to the throne of grace. Had he given up in discouragement at the sixth time, his prayer would not have been answered.... We have a God whose ear is not closed to our petitions; and if we prove His word, He will honor our faith. He wants us to have all our interests interwoven with His interests, and then He can safely bless us; for we shall not then take glory to self when the blessing is ours, but shall render all the praise to God. God does not always answer our prayers the first time we call upon Him; for should He do this, we might take it for granted that we had a right to all the blessings and favors He bestowed upon us.37{SD 206.2}[2]

以利亚祷告的时候,仆人在旁边观望。……他省察自己的内心,对自己的评价越来越低,觉得在上帝的眼中似乎也是如此。他觉得自己一无所有,而上帝拥有一切。当他达到了否定自己,依靠救主为他唯一的力量和公义时,他的祈祷就得到了应允。{SD206.3}[3]
上帝的儿女-第201章
The servant watched while Elijah prayed.... As he searched his heart, he seemed to be less and less, both in his own estimation and in the sight of God. It seemed to him that he was nothing, and that God was everything; and when he reached the point of renouncing self, while he clung to the Saviour as his only strength and righteousness, the answer came.38{SD 206.3}[3]
上帝的儿女-第201章
一个人在从事某项工作时不论多么勇敢,多么成功,当环境考验他的信心时,他如果不时常仰望上帝,就会丧失勇气。即使在上帝赐给他明显的证据证明祂的能力,加给他力量做祂的工作之后,他如果不绝对依靠那位全能的上帝,也必失败。{SD206.4}[4]
上帝的儿女-第201章
However courageous and successful a man may be in the performance of a special work, unless he looks constantly to God when circumstances arise to test his faith he will lose his courage. Even after God has given him marked tokens of His power, after he has been strengthened to do God’s work, he will fail unless he trusts implicitly in Omnipotence.39{SD 206.4}[4]
