6月30日 立刻做

赶紧与他（对头）和息。（太五25）

耶稣基督定下了一个原则－－知道该做的现在就去做，而且要快快的做；否则，那无法避免的历程就必发生，而你也得尝受痛苦。神的律是不更改的，人也无法逃避。耶稣的教训是针对我们本质而说的。

要仇敌尊重我的权利，是很自然的事，可是耶稣却说偿还仇敌的一切，才是最急切而有永恒价值的事。从主的角度看来，我被人欺诈与否，并不要紧；要紧的是我不欺诈人。我是否坚持争取自己的权益，还是站在主的立场，偿还我所欠的？

要快快的做，立即审判自己。不论在道德上，或属灵上，都必须立刻去做；否则那无情的历程就必开始。神一心要他的儿女清洁雪白，任何不顺服他教训的，他的灵就会不遗余力地工作。

我们若一味坚持自己无辜，就表示还有些地方不顺服。怪不得圣灵这么强烈地催逼我们要常在光明中。

“赶快与他和息。”你是否一瞬间就察觉与人的关系中有愤怒存在？快快认罪，在神面前赶快解决，与那人和好－－现在就要去做。

祈祷◆主啊，愿你成为我生命中一道生机蓬勃、宁谧安恬的广阔河流。愿你今天向我们每一个人展示更多的爱与温柔－－尤其是我，因为许多人被我直接影响。

June 30 Do It Now

“Agree with thine adversary quickly.” Matthew 5:25

Jesus Christ is laying down this principle – Do what you know you must do, now, and do it quickly; if you do not, the inevitable process will begin to work and you will have to pay to the last farthing in pain and agony and distress. God's laws are unalterable; there is no escape from them. The teaching of Jesus goes straight to the way we are made up.

To see that my adversary gives me my rights is natural; but Jesus says that it is a matter of eternal and imperative importance to me that I pay my adversary what I owe him. From our Lord’s standpoint it does not matter whether I am defrauded or not; what does matter is that I do not defraud. Am I insisting on my rights, or am I paying what I owe from Jesus Christ's standpoint?

Do the thing quickly, bring yourself to judgment now. In moral and spiritual matters, you must do it at once; if you do not, the inexorable process will begin to work. God is determined to have His child as pure and clean and white as driven snow, and as long as there is disobedience in any point of His teaching, He will prevent none of the working of His spirit. Our insistence in proving that we are right is nearly always an indication that there has been some point of disobedience. No wonder the Spirit so strongly urges to keep steadfastly in the light!

“Agree with thine adversary quickly.” Have you suddenly turned a corner in any relationship and found that you had anger in your heart? Confess it quickly, quickly put it right before God, be reconciled to that one – do it now.
