天父关怀你-第106章
“以利亚与我们是一样性情的人,他恳切祷告,求不要下雨,雨就三年零六个月不下在地上。他又祷告,天就降下雨来,地也生出土产”(雅5:17,18)。{OFC99.6}[1]
天父关怀你-第106章
Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.James 5:17, 18.{OFC 115.1}[1]

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。{OFC100.1}[2]
天父关怀你-第106章
Important lessons are presented to us in the experience of Elijah. When upon Mount Carmel he offered the prayer for rain, his faith was tested, but he persevered in making known his request unto God.{OFC 115.2}[2]

以利亚祷告的时候,仆人在旁边观望。他六次从观察的地方回来说:什么也没有,没有云,也没有下雨的迹象。但先知并没有灰心放弃。他继续省察自己的生活,看看有没有羞辱上帝的地方。……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。仆人说:“我看见有一小片云从海里上来,不过如人手那样大”(王上18:44)。{OFC100.2}[3]
天父关怀你-第106章
The servant watched while Elijah prayed. Six times he returned from the watch, saying, There is nothing, no cloud, no sign of rain. But the prophet did not give up in discouragement. He kept reviewing his life, to see where he had failed to honor God.... 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. The servant appeared, and said, “Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man’s hand.”1 Kings 18:44.{OFC 115.3}[3]
天父关怀你-第106章
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。如果我们不省察自己的心,看看有没有怀藏什么罪恶,纵容什么罪行,我们就会掉以轻心,不认识自己需要依靠衪和衪的帮助了。……{OFC100.3}[4]
天父关怀你-第106章
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. Instead of searching our hearts to see if any evil was entertained by us, any sin indulged, we should become careless, and fail to realize our dependence upon Him....{OFC 115.4}[4]

以利亚谦虚自卑,直至他绝不将荣耀归于自己。这正是上帝垂听祷告的条件,因为这时我们会向上帝献上赞美。……只有上帝是配得荣耀的。{OFC100.4}[5]
天父关怀你-第106章
Elijah humbled himself until he was in a condition where he would not take the glory to himself. This is the condition upon which the Lord hears prayer, for then we shall give the praise to Him.... God alone is worthy to be glorified.13{OFC 115.5}[5]
