2012 禁食日记 – 第30天： “羡慕” 2012 Fasting Diary – Day 30: “Envious”
第三十天（05/09/12)
“耶和华与约瑟同在。。。”（创39:2,21）
这几乎可称为约瑟一生的座右铭，的确无论约瑟去哪里、在哪里、做什么，“耶和华都与约瑟同在”。耶和华都帮助他，赐福他，让他在对的人眼前蒙恩，虽然一些妒忌他的人视他为仇敌而加害与他。
如此的生命 － 常有神的同在与恩宠，是多少人的羡慕和渴望。。。那是因为我们只看到他的地位，祝福和成功等等，但有多少人会羡慕那弃绝、伤害、为奴生活、诬告、坐牢等等。。。？
很显然的，耶和华会与约瑟同在是因为他美好的态度、灵性，和正确反应；加上他在任何逆境中都时刻信赖及仰望耶和华。所以，在我们还没羡慕与期望耶和华也常与我们同在如同与约瑟同在之前，让我们先看看我们自己的心和态度，也审查我们对日常生活状况与考验的反应。。。

“The Lord was with Joseph…” (Gen 39:2,21)
This can almost be called Joseph’s life motto, indeed “The Lord was with Joseph” wherever Joseph went or was or whatever he did. The Lord just helped him and blessed him and he would find favour with all the right people, despite being an “enemy” and under the attack of of those who were jealous of him.
Such a life – to have the presence of the Lord and His favour, would be the envy and desire of all… that is because we only see the status, blessings and successes etc, but how many would be envious of the rejection and hurts and slavery and wrongful accusation and imprisonment etc…?
It is obvious the Lord was always with Joseph because of his good attitude, spirit, and correct reactions; also his constant trust and fixing his eyes on the Lord despite all adverse situations. So before we feel envious and start wishing the Lord would be with us always like the way He was with Joseph, let us first look at our own heart and attitude and examine how we react to our everyday situations and trials…
