2012 禁食日记 – 第24天: “能被信任” 2012 Fasting Diary – Day 24: “Trustworthy”

 

 

 第二十四天(30/08/12)

有好些基督徒,在教会好像很“属灵”,很会“敬拜”、“事奉”等等,可是在实际生活,无论在家或工作场所,却不太得人信任或尊敬。
若是如此,就当检讨自己的属灵真的是神的灵,抑或是自己的“灵”,还是在教会“演戏”罢了?因为圣经里,真正“属灵”或有神同在的人,在正常的情况下是绝对被信任与尊重的。

神的灵是智慧、创意、圣洁与全能的,我们若真被他的灵充满,岂有可能不优秀、不被人信任吗吗?

“4 约瑟就在主人眼前蒙恩,伺候他主人,并且主人派他管理家务,把一切所有的都交在他手里。 自从主人派约瑟管理家务和他一切所有的,耶和华就因约瑟的缘故赐福于那埃及人的家;凡家里和田间一切所有的,都蒙耶和华赐福。 波提乏将一切所有的都交在约瑟的手中,除了自己所吃的饭,别的事一概不知。。。”
~ 创 39:4-6 ~

 

 Day 24 (30/08/12)

Quite a few Christians, they might seem rather “spiritual” in church, good at “worshipping” and “serving” etc, but when it comes to practical living, whether at home or work place, they do not seem to be trusted and respected that much. If so, then we would have to examine whether we are really full of God’s Spirit, or our own “spirit” or merely “acting” in church? Because in the Bible, those who were truly “spiritual” or had the presence of God, under normal circumstances, they would definitely be trusted and respected.

The Spirit of God is wise, creative, holy and almighty, so if we are really filled with His Spirit, can we not be outstanding and trustworthy?

“4 Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned. From the time he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned, the Lord blessed the household of the Egyptian because of Joseph. The blessing of the Lord was on everything Potiphar had, both in the house and in the field. So he left in Joseph’s care everything he had; with Joseph in charge, he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate.”
~ Gen 39:4-6 ~
