跳脫慣性思維—-哥林多前書2:9［上帝為愛他的人所預備的是眼睛未曾看見, 耳朵未曾聽見, 人心也未曾想到的.] 跳脫慣性思維, 可以發現自己的盲點. 聖經中有一件神蹟, 有超過五千人跟隨耶穌, 到了晚上, 人潮遲遲沒有散去, 耶穌便要門徒為這些人預備晚餐. 其中一位門徒腓力Philip説這是不可能的. 但另外一位門徒安得烈Andrew, 向一位小孩拿了五塊餅, 跟二條魚, 交給耶穌. 結果不僅餵飽了五千人, 還剩下12籃大麥餅. 約翰福音6:12-14. 別讓你的慣性思維, 限制了上帝在你生命中所要給你的可能性. 就像門徒腓力因著過去的經驗, 認為在當時的情況下, 餵飽五千人, 是癡人説夢話. 以他們的慣性思維, 當然是合理的推斷. 但有了耶穌, 就沒有不可能的事. 我們要學門徒安得烈將你所能的, 交出去, 剩下的, 讓耶穌來成就. 今天你要想想是否有尚未完成的夢想, 或是不可能解決的難題. 將這些交託給上帝吧！當你跳脫原有的慣性思維, 專一相信上帝, 上帝必定為你成就不可能的事. 你也必能嬴得人生最終的勝利. 附註：安得烈是12位門徒中最平凡的一位, 不像彼得的領袖氣質, 約翰的貼心蒙愛, 甚至不像雅各轟轟烈烈的第一個為主殉道, 但安得烈生命中卻有一個最偉大的特質, 多次把眾人帶到耶穌面前. 安得烈被捕寧願釘在X型的十字架, 仍講道不輟, 四天後為主殉道. 遺骨至今仍安放在梵蒂岡大教堂.
Break free from habitual thinking – 1 Corinthians 2:9 Blind spot. There is a miracle in the Bible that more than 5,000 people followed Jesus, and at night, when the crowd did not go away, Jesus asked his disciples to prepare dinner for these people. One of the disciples, Philip, said it was impossible . But another disciple, Andrew, took five loaves of bread from a child, and two fish, and handed them over to Jesus. Not only did he feed five thousand people, but 12 baskets of barley loaves were left. John 6: 12-14. Don’t let your habitual thinking limit the possibilities of what God has to offer you in your life . Just as the disciple Philip, based on past experience, thought that feeding five thousand people under the circumstances was Idiots talk in their sleep. With their habitual thinking, of course, it is a reasonable inference. But with Jesus, nothing is impossible. We have to learn from the disciple Andrew to give what you can, and let the rest. Jesus came to make it happen. Think about today if you have unfulfilled dreams, or impossible problems. Commit them to God! When you get rid of the original habitual thinking and focus on believing in God, God will accomplish the impossible for you. You will also be able to win the ultimate victory in life. Note: Andrew is the most ordinary of the 12 disciples , unlike Peter’s leadership temperament, John’s caring and beloved, not even James’ flamboyant first martyrdom, but Andrew’s life had one of the greatest qualities that brought people to Jesus many times . Andrew was arrested and preferred to be nailed to an X-shaped cross, still preaching, and was martyred four days later. The remains are still in the Vatican Cathedral.
