Faith That Will Not Let Go, March 22
一同在天上-第83章
“雅各说:‘你不给我祝福,我就不容你去’”(创32:26)。{HP88.1}[1]
一同在天上-第83章
And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.Genesis 32:26.{HP 88.1}[1]
一同在天上-第83章
你们喜爱谈论别人过错的人,我恳求你们睡醒,省察你们自己的心。要拿起你们的圣经,转向上帝,恳切祈祷。求祂教导你们认识你们自己,以永恒的眼光了解你们的软弱,你们的罪恶和愚妄。求祂向你们显明你们自己在上天看来如何。这是一种个人的工作。……要本着谦卑向上天发出你的恳求,日夜都不要罢休,直到你能说:请听主为我所行的事;直到你能作活泼的见证,讲述你所取得的胜利。{HP88.2}[2]
一同在天上-第83章
You who love to speak of the faults of others, arouse, and look into your own hearts. Take your Bibles, and go to God in earnest prayer. Ask Him to teach you to know yourself, to understand your weakness, your sins and follies, in the light of eternity. Ask Him to show you yourself as you stand in the sight of Heaven. This is an individual work.... In humility send your petition to God, and do not rest day nor night until you can say, Hear what the Lord hath done for me—until you can bear a living testimony and tell of victories won.{HP 88.2}[2]

雅各在取得胜利之前,曾整夜与使者角力。天破晓的时候,天使说,天黎明了,容我去吧。雅各却回答说:“你不给我祝福,我就不容你去”(创32:26)。于是他的祈求得到了应允。天使说:“你的名不要再叫雅各,要叫以色列,因为你与神与人较力,都得了胜”(创32:26-28)。{HP88.3}[3]

Jacob wrestled with the Angel all night before he gained the victory. When morning broke, the Angel said, “Let me go, for the day breaketh.” But Jacob answered, “I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.” Then his prayer was answered. “Thy name shall be called no more Jacob,” said the Angel, “but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed” (Genesis 32:26-28).{HP 88.3}[3]

我们需要雅各那样坚定的毅力,以利亚那样不屈的信心。以利亚一次又一次打发仆人去看云彩上来没有,却看不见什么云彩。最后,在第七次之后,仆人回话说:“我看见有一小片云,不过如人手那样大”(王上18:44)。以利亚有没有后退说:“我不会接受这个证据。我要等待直到天空乌云密集”呢?没有。他说:时候到了,我们要走了。他按照来自上帝的记号壮胆行事,打发使者在他前面去告诉亚哈有大雨的响声了。{HP88.4}[4]

We need the perseverance of Jacob and the unyielding faith of Elijah. Time after time Elijah sent his servant to see if the cloud was rising, but no cloud was to be seen. At last, after seven times, the servant returned with the word, “There ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man’s hand” (1 Kings 18:44). Did Elijah stand back and say, I will not receive this evidence; I will wait till the heavens gather blackness? No. He said, It is time for us to be going. He ventured all upon that token from God and sent his messenger before him to tell Ahab that there was the sound of abundance of rain.{HP 88.4}[4]

我们所需要的正是这种信心,会把握住、不会放手的信心。灵感之言告诉我们说以利亚是与我们有一样性情的人。上天听了他的祷告。他祈求不降雨,天就不降雨。他又求降雨,天就降下雨来。为何不该为上帝今日的子民恳求主呢?巴不得主用祂的圣灵充满我们!巴不得幔子能够揭开,我们得以明白敬虔的奥秘!{HP88.5}[5]

It is such faith as this that we need, faith that will take hold and will not let go. Inspiration tells us that Elijah was a man subject to like passions as we are. Heaven heard his prayer. He prayed that rain might cease, and there was no rain. Again he prayed for rain, and rain was sent. And why should not the Lord be entreated in behalf of His people today? O that the Lord would imbue us with His Spirit! O that the curtain might be rolled back that we might understand the mystery of godliness!?40{HP 88.5}[5]
