2012 禁食日记 – 第28天： “谦卑” 2012 Fasting Diary – Day 28: “Humility”
第二十八天（03/09/12)
当人跟我们分享神的话时，我们是否会看着对方的身份、地位、学历等而决定听从不听从？有些人身份地位可能低于我们，但他们与神的关系、对神的信心，与对神的话语的认识和体会，是很值得我们尊敬和听从的。
昨天我们看到那为奴小女子勇于把自己所相信的真神分享给尊贵的元帅听，至于元帅听不听、信不信又是另外一回事。
病重的人也不见得谁的话都听，更何况是从比你更卑贱的人口中出来的话。然而，元帅选择相信这为奴小女子的话，这何尝不是一个谦卑？何尝不是单纯的相信？而这单纯的信也的确救了他自己一命。
很多时候，对神的话单纯一点、谦卑一点、信靠一点，最终蒙福的还是自己本身。。。

Day 28 (03/09/12)
When someone shares the word of God with us, would we look at their status, position and academic background etc, before we decide whether to listen or not? Some people’s status and position might be lower than ours, but their relationship with God, faith in Him and their knowledge and experiences with God’s Word really deserve our respect and listening to.
Yesterday we saw how that young slave girl was so bold in sharing her faith in her true God with the honourable commander of the army, as for whether or not the commander was going to listen or believe was another matter.
People who are seriously ill may not necessarily just listen to anyone’s advice too, what more to say from the mouth of someone much lower in status than you are. However, the commander chose to believe in the words of this slave girl, this was also a kind of humility, and a kind of simplicity of faith. And this simplicity indeed saved his own life too.
Many times, a little simpler, a little more humble, and a little more trusting in God’s Word, would ultimately bring blessings to our own selves…
“4 Naaman went to his master and told him what the girl from Israel had said. 5 “By all means, go,” the king of Aram replied. “I will send a letter to the king of Israel.”…”
