【8.30】深深敬畏Deep Sense Of Awe


“你起来站着…我差你到他们(外邦人)那里去,要叫他们的眼睛得开…得蒙赦罪…” – 徒 26:16-18

想想你个人的信仰故事。你可以通过自己的故事来了解敬畏神这件事。也许你从贫穷和痛苦的生活中一路挣扎来到耶稣面前。也许你认为自己的故事没有那么令人兴奋,因为你在教会里长大,一直是其中的一员。

无论如何,你都有故事可讲,因为这实在是神通过你的生命在讲述的故事。在你所有的挣扎、欢乐、悲伤和喜悦中,神一直在你里面,并通过你的这些经历讲述祂恩典的故事。

保罗抓住一个机会,分享了他自己的故事。个人见证强而有力的一个主要原因是,没有人能否认神在你身上和通过你所作的工。想想那些时刻,当你所爱的人生病时,你信靠神得了医治,或者当你不知道如何偿还债务时,神为你供应了一切。或者当你认为自己的婚姻已经到了无可挽回的地步,但神竟然使它起死回生。

人们可以争论神学和教义问题,但他们无法否认神在被改变的生命中所做的令人敬畏的事。

愿我们不要忘记我们所侍奉的大能的神,也不要忘记我们蒙召作祂的子民。让我们每天拥抱并赞美神的大能。

祷告

神啊,求你今天就来复兴我!使我的心柔软,给我自由,好使我见证并认识你是谁。阿们。

使徒行传 26:12-18

12那时,我领了祭司长的权柄和命令,往大马士革去。
13王啊,我在路上,晌午的时候,看见从天发光,比日头还亮,四面照着我并与我同行的人。
14我们都仆倒在地,我就听见有声音用希伯来话向我说:‘扫罗,扫罗,为什么逼迫我?你用脚踢刺是难的。’
15我说:‘主啊,你是谁?’主说:‘我就是你所逼迫的耶稣。
16“你起来站着!我特意向你显现,要派你做执事,作见证,将你所看见的事和我将要指示你的事证明出来。
17我也要救你脱离百姓和外邦人的手。
18我差你到他们那里去,要叫他们的眼睛得开,从黑暗中归向光明,从撒旦权下归向神;又因信我,得蒙赦罪,和一切成圣的人同得基业。’

Deep Sense Of Awe

“Now get up and stand on your feet. . . . I am sending you to [the Gentiles] to open their eyes . . . so that they may receive forgiveness of sins. . . .” – Acts 26:16-18

Consider your own story of faith. One of the ways you can know the awe of God is through your story. Maybe you came to Jesus out of a life of poverty and pain. Maybe you think your story is less than exciting because you grew up in the church and have always been a part of it.

Whatever the case, you have a story to share because it’s really about God’s story happening through you. In all your struggles, celebrations, griefs, and joys, God has been telling his story of grace in and through you.

When given the opportunity, Paul shared his story. One of the main reasons a personal story is so powerful is that no one can argue against the way God has chosen to work in and through you. Think of moments when you had to trust God with a loved one who was sick, or when you were not sure how to pay a debt and God provided for you. Or maybe you thought your marriage was at the point of no return, but God brought it back.

People can debate theology and doctrine, but they cannot argue against the awesome work of God in and through a transformed life.

May we not lose sight of the power of whom we serve and that we are called to be his people. Let’s embrace and cele­brate the awe and wonder of God’s power each day.

Prayer

God, undo me today! Soften my heart and bring me freedom so that I may see and know the wonder of who you are. Amen.
