2012 禁食日记 – 第25天： “现今的机会” 2012 Fasting Diary – Day 25: “For such a time”

第二十五天（31/08/12)

上帝把每个人安置在这个世界，都有他的美意，他为每一个人都计划了美好前途，每个人都能够对这个世界有所贡献，不管你的背景如何，上帝都能把你兴起来，大大赐福和使用你。

然而问题是，很多时候当我们越发蒙福、有才华、财富、地位等等，我们就会太舒服而逐渐忘记我们的使命，太享受而忘记我们的呼召，以至于被提醒或教导时，还会找借口或不愿意。若是这样，神绝对能兴起别人来取代我们，我们因此就会失去神原本量给我们的天大福份。

所以，唯愿我们在蒙福的当儿，始终不要忘记我们的呼召，也一直保持愿意被神使用的心。

“¹³ 末底改托人回复以斯帖说：“你莫想在王宫里强过一切犹大人，得免这祸。 ¹⁴ 此时你若闭口不言，犹大人必从别处得解脱蒙拯救，你和你父家必致灭亡。焉知你得了王后的位分，不是为现今的机会吗？””
～ 斯 4:13-14 ～

 

 Day 25 (31/08/12)

God has a wonderful plan for everyone He places in this world, He has planned a wonderful future for everyone. Each of us can contribute something to this world no matter what your background is, God can raise you up, bless you greatly and use you.

However the problem is, many times when we start to grow in our blessings, talents, wealth, position etc, we tend to get too comfortable and slowly forget our mission, or begin to enjoy too much and forget our calling, to the extent that when we are reminded and taught, we would even look for excuses or are unwilling. If so, God can definitely raise up others to replace us, and we will therefore lose the heavenly blessing God has originally intended for us.

Therefore, may we not forget our calling in the midst of our blessings, and may we always maintain that willing heart to be used by God.

“¹³ he sent back this answer: “Do not think that because you are in the king’s house you alone of all the Jews will escape. ¹⁴ For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to royal position for such a time as this?””
~ Esther 4:13-14 ~
