疫情下的心靈加油站Sample

泰然面對
你們落在百般試煉中,都要以為大喜樂;因為知道你們的信心經過試驗,就生忍耐。(雅 1:2-3)
雅各指出信徒受試煉是必然的事實,那麼,我們當持怎樣的態度面對試煉呢?最佳策略是在試煉未來臨之先,早作心理準備。正如船隻在未出海之前,得先作出最壞打算,預備應變的配備,還需知道駛往「避風港」的途徑。
一項積極的態度是:「都要以為大喜樂」。「以為」是「以此為」,沒有猶豫或不確定。這態度常在腓立比書中出現,例如:「看別人比自己強」、「不以自己與神同等」、「我想必須」(2:3, 6, 25);把先前以為與我有益的都「當作有損的」、「看作糞土」(3:7, 8)等。這都表明態度是積極的,並非無可奈何。因此這句話可翻譯為「確認是值得大大歡喜的事」。
可能有人會認為這是阿Q精神。在面對困境時,人本能的反應都是消極的,灰心煩惱、怨天尤人、質問神、放棄信仰等等,怎麼還可以「以為大喜樂」呢?
然而,信徒在重生得救之後,就具有一雙屬靈的慧眼去衡量不同事物的價值。而且因明白神話語的教導,便能用屬天的觀點看事情,在試煉中仍可以處之泰然。
禱告:像主一樣!
喔,親愛的主耶穌,
為甚麼在我最傷痛的時候,
才出現最高的創意呢?
這代價實在太大了!
「是的,這麼大的代價⋯⋯我也付上了。」
──戴維斯

To Be Like Him
O Dear Lord Jesus,
Why is it that my moments of greatest creativity
come during my times of greatest grief?
It's a terrible price to pay!
"Yes, it was...for me too."
