Day 20 : 禁食日记 / Fasting Diary (真正的食物 / Real Food)

 

第二十天:10月22日(六)

与韩国朴传道一起服事,回到家已凌晨1:30,2:30am上床睡觉,6:00am不知何故就醒来了!本想继续睡,可是脑子里充满很多当做的事情。。。主日讲章还没写、禁食日记已拖延两天没上载、待会与朴传道的服事等等。。。
结果我放弃了,起来洗澡“开工”,向神求力量、智慧和启示,好叫我能在短时间内,成就几件事情,而且不马虎。

神听了我的祷告!马上有感动晓得要讲什么道,一口气就写完了;然后,也把禁食祷告的感动写完,刊登上去了;一切准备就绪,又到教会与朴传道配搭服事了!
奇妙的是,一点也不觉得累;而且一般上这样赶时间,我都会有一点偏头痛,可是这次头也不会痛!神真是美好!

当然我知道我不是救主,不是每一件事都一定要我做;但有时候,有一些事的确是无法避免。。。那时,我们真的是要求神赐力量和智慧了:“你们中间若有缺少智慧的,应当求那厚赐与众人、也不斥责人的神,主就必赐给他。”(雅各书1:5)

我也在想,耶稣的这一句话是不是也有这个意思:

“耶稣说:“我有食物吃,是你们不知道的。。。我的食物就是遵行差我来者的旨意,做成他的工。””(约翰福音4:32, 34)

Day 20 : Oct 22nd (Sat)
I reached home at about 1:30am after ministering with Pastor Park from Korea, went to bed at 2:30am, and for some unknown reason woke up at 6:00am! I tried to go back to sleep but my mind was full of the things that need to be done… I haven’t written my Sunday sermon, I have delayed posting the Fasting Diary by two days, some more ministering with Pastor Park later etc…
So I gave up, I got up to have my shower and “start working”, praying for strength, wisdom and revelation from God so I can within a short time accomplish a few things, and not haphazardly.
God heard my prayer! Immediately I knew what to preach, and finished writing the sermon within a few minutes; then I finished writing and posted the fasting diary; and got everything ready and went to church to minister with Pastor Park again!
The amazing thing is, I did not feel tired at all; and normally if I rushed like this, I would have migraine, but this time I did not have any headache at all! God is really wonderful!
Of course I know I am not the Saviour and I do not have to do everything myself; but sometimes there are really things that are unavoidable… When that happens, we really must ask for strength and wisdom form God: “If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.” (James 1:5)
I am also thinking, do the following words of Jesus carry this meaning as well:
“But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about… My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work.”” (John 4:32, 34)
