一切都有上帝最好的安排—-以賽亞書33:2［耶和華啊, 求你施恩於我們, 我們等候你. 求你每早晨作我們的膀臂, 遭難的時候為我們的拯救.］上帝有祂的時間表, 神做事有祂的計劃, 時間和目的. 唯有等候的時候, 才是我們最能成長的時刻. 也可能成為我們最大的轉捩點. 這是一個不懂得等候的世代. 人們只講究效率要快. 但是一個人如果不懂得等待, 他常是在危險中. 人若不懂得在紅燈前等候, 必會出亂子. 等候是基督徒絕對不可少的功課. 上帝有祂的時間表, 神做事有祂的計劃, 有祂的時間和目的. 我們的時間表就是想要什麼便要立即擁有. 想做什麼就要馬上去做. 我們不能等, 也不想等. 我們不明白神的時間表, 也不接受祂的計劃. 我們不懂得等待. 如果得不到我們想要的, 我們就埋怨感到失望. 為什麼神祢不聽我的禱告？主啊！祢到底在哪裡？祢為什麼遲遲不來？祢為什麼故意拖延？弟兄姊妹, 我們一定要知道上帝有祂的時間表, 神做事有祂的計劃, 時間和目的. 而上帝做的最好. 祂的時間表最好. 所有上帝的子民都得學會等候的功課. 才能夠經歷到上帝的大能, 和祂豐盛的供應. 沒有人喜歡自己的事遭到拖延. 忍耐是從我們生活中所結出的聖靈的果子. 忍耐等候的功夫是藉著長期與神同行. 走過生活的順境與逆境, 以信心勇敢去面對每一天的現實生活環境, 所結出的果子. 這些美好的生命品質. 能夠超越環境的知足跟喜樂, 不是天生就有的, 是學來的. 神不給我們想要的, 是為了把最好的給我們. 我們最好早點學習放下我們的時間表, 降服上帝的時間表. 神的延遲是為了使我們有更大的榮耀.
Everything has the best arrangement of God – Isaiah 33:2 [O Lord, be gracious to us, we wait for you. Be our arm every morning, and be our salvation in times of trouble. ] God has His timetable, God has His plan, time and purpose for doing things. Only when we wait is the time when we can grow the most. It may also become our greatest turning point. This is a generation that does not know how to wait. People only pay attention to efficiency and speed. But if a person does not know how to wait, he is always in danger. If a person does not know how to wait at a red light, there will be trouble. Waiting is an absolutely essential lesson for Christians. God has his Timetable, God does things in His plan, His time and purpose. Our timetable is to have what we want right away. We want to do it right away. We can’t wait, and we don’t want to wait. We don’t understand God We don’t know how to wait. If we don’t get what we want, we complain and feel disappointed. Why don’t you hear my prayers, God? Oh God! Where are you? Why are you so late? Why are you deliberately procrastinating? Brothers and sisters, we must know that God has his timetable and that God does things with his plan, time and purpose. And God does it best. His timetable is the best. All God’s people have to learn the lesson of waiting to experience the power of God and His abundant provision. No one likes to be delayed in their own affairs. Patience is the fruit of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Walking with God. Going through the prosperous and adversity of life, and bravely facing the real life environment every day with confidence, the fruit that bears. These beautiful qualities of life. The contentment and joy that can transcend the environment are not innate, It’s learned. God doesn’t give us what we want in order to give us the best. We better learn to let go of our timetable and surrender to God’s timetable sooner. God’s delay is for us to have greater glory.
