突破自己的限制—-歷代志上4:9-10［雅比斯比他眾兄弟更尊貴, 他母親給他起名雅比斯, 意思說：我生他甚是痛苦. 雅比斯求告以色列的神說：甚願你賜福與我, 擴張我的境界, 常與我同在, 保佑我不遭患難. 不受艱苦, 神就應允他所求的.］人的一生一切皆有可能. 後天的堅持與努力, 在成長的歷程上, 可以展現自己獨特的人格特質, 可以幫助一個人發揮所長, 過一個尊貴的人生. 歷代志中的雅比斯是突破自我限制的最佳榜樣. 我們常常因著過去的創傷, 現實的困境或對未來的恐懼, 造成種種的自我限制. 我們怎樣看自己的價值與前途？是否希望突破限制, 邁向生命的豐盛呢？ 惟有轉向神, 才能超越自限, 轉化生命. 雅比斯的禱告展現宏大的心志. 他見證有怎樣的心志, 就有怎樣的祈禱. 有怎樣的心志, 就產生怎樣的人生. 願我們都像雅比斯一樣有宏大的志向, 跨越生命的限制, 邁向豐盛的人生. 很多註解家想當然認為雅比斯的名字有痛苦之意. 他母親給他起名雅比斯, 意思說我生他甚是痛若. 但根據希伯來文的字根, 雅比斯是將痛苦的第二, 第三字母的排列相反, 所以雅比斯的意思不是痛苦, 而應該是不痛苦. 雅比斯的母親希望雅比斯一生都不要受苦, 這是母親對兒子的祝福, 不是情緒勒索, 不是紀念母難, 更不是咒詛. 人名是父母或長輩對子孫的祝福, 不應自我設限. 應用名字堅定自己的心志, 擴張自己的境界, 與上帝同在, 突破自我設限, 享受平安喜樂, 吉祥如意的人生.
Breaking through one’s own limitations – 1 Chronicles 4:9-10 [Jabez was more noble than his brothers, and his mother named him Jabez, which means: It was very painful for me to give birth to him. Jabez cried to Israel The God of God said: I really wish that you would bless me, expand my realm, be with me always, and protect me from suffering. If I am not suffering from hardship, God will grant his request.] Everything is possible in a person’s life. The day after tomorrow. Persistence and hard work can show one’s unique personality traits in the process of growth, which can help a person develop his talents and live a noble life. Jabez in Chronicles is the best example of breaking through self-limitations. We Often due to past trauma, real difficulties or fear of the future, various self-limitations are caused. How do we view our own value and future? Do you want to break through limitations and move towards the abundance of life? Only by turning to God can we transcend our own limitations and transform our lives. Jabez’s prayers show a great ambition. He testified that the kind of intention we have is the kind of prayer we have. The kind of intention we have is the kind of life we have. May we all be like Jabez also had great ambitions to transcend the limitations of life and move towards a prosperous life. Many commentators take it for granted that Jabez’s name means pain. His mother named him Jabez, which means that I gave birth to him so much that I gave birth to him. It is painful. But according to the root of the Hebrew word, Jabez is the reverse arrangement of the second and third letters of pain, so Jabez does not mean pain, but should mean no pain. Jabez’s The mother hopes that Jabez will not suffer in his life. This is a mother’s blessing to her son. It is not an emotional blackmail, nor a commemoration of her mother’s suffering, nor a curse. A person’s name is a blessing from parents or elders to their children and grandchildren, and you should not set limits on yourself. Use names. Strengthen your resolve, expand your realm, be with God, break through self-imposed limitations, and enjoy a peaceful, joyful, and auspicious life.
