1月25日 留位置给神

神既然乐意......（加一15-16）

作为神的工人，我们必须学习给神留下应有的地位，就是给他有自由活动的空间。我们会计算量度，说这个那个会这样那样，却忘记腾出空间，给神自由进出的余地。神若突然闯入我们的聚会中，或我们讲道时他来了，我们会诧异吗？不要指望神照你指定的方式来到，只要注目在他身上，这才是给他空间。要指望他来，但不要限制他只能用某种方式来。不论我们认识神有多少，最重要的是要知道：神任何一分钟都可以裂天而降。我们很容易忽视这个突如其来的可能性，其实神做工一向就是如此。神往往出其不意地临到人当中——“神乐意......”。

经常与神保持贴近，以致神奇异的大能随时地从他右手或左手发出。要常在期待当中，给神空间随他的意思降临。

祈祷◆噢，主啊，求你以爱慕的枷锁将我与你结连；在你差派我时，以你的眷佑环绕我；加添我的能力，以致我愈来愈能够被你使用。

January 25 Leave Room For GOD

“But when it pleased God. . .” Galatians 1:15

As workers for God we have to learn to make room for God – to give God “elbow room.” We calculate and estimate, and say that this and that will happen, and we forget to make room for God to come in as He chooses. Would we be surprised if God came into our meeting or into our preaching in a way we had never looked for Him to come? Do not look for God to come in any particular way, but look for Him. That is the way to make room for Him. Expect Him to come, but do not expect Him only in a certain way. However much we may know God, the great lesson to learn is that at any minute He may break in. We are apt to over look this element of surprise, yet God never works in any other way. All of a sudden God meets the life – “When it was the good pleasure of God. . .”

Keep your life so constant in its contact with God that His surprising power may break out on the right hand and on the left. Always be in a state of expectancy, and see that you leave room for God to come in as He likes.
