疫情下的心灵加油站2Sample

神的掌控
洪水泛滥之时,耶和华坐着为王;耶和华坐着为王,直到永远。(诗二十九10)
在「神容许的旨意」中,神的主权何在?如何在「神仍然掌权」与「人必须负责」之间取得平衡呢?
这问题可从神旨意的第叁个层面去解决,就是「神终极要成就的旨意」(sovereign will of God)。
意思是人虽然有自由权去选择他喜欢做的事,但神仍掌握最终的管理权。虽然神的计划有时可能因为人的悖逆(例如犹大卖主、以色列人在旷野漂流等)而有所耽延,但在祂主权的掌控下,最终会按着祂的时间成全,达到神要它成就的结果。
我们必须承认,人被局限在时间与空间的範畴裏,不能完全明白神旨意的奥妙。神是超越时间的神,祂知道过去,也知道将来,整个时间的进程,如同一张地图在祂眼前展示;祂让人运用自由意志做出选择,但同时能「预定」事情最终会成就的结局。
若我们能从这叁个层面来理解神的旨意,就不必将苦、罪等问题的责任归咎於神。而且在受试探的时候,也不会控告神,认为神应当为我们受试探而失败的事负责。因此,在试探中失败,罪责仍是在我们身上的。
祷告:上好的,主知道
主啊!祢知道甚麽是对我最好的,
请按祢的喜悦成就这事或那事吧!
赐我祢旨意所定的,
无论多少,
不论何时。
──托马斯‧金碧士(Thomas a Kempis, 1380-1471 )
Thou Knowest The Best
O Lord, thou knowest that which is best for me.
Let this or that be done, as thou shalt please.
Give what thou wilt,
how much thou wilt,
and when thou wilt.
-Thomas a Kempis, 1380-1471
