“万军之耶和华说,不是依靠势力,不是依靠才能,乃是依靠我的灵,方能成事。”(撒迦利亚书四章六节)
有一次我在山脚下散步,看见一个小孩骑着自行车上山去。路又斜,风又紧,那孩子用尽了力气,却仍向前不得。他正感力竭的时侯,恰巧一辆无轨电车经过,向着山顶驶去。
那孩子赶紧伸手抓住车后的一根横梗。他一点力气都不用花,似飞一般地上了山顶。此时我就发生了一个感想:
“我现在这样疲乏,软弱,正像自行车上的孩子一般。我尽力向上而行,可是多少困难,拦阻,接踵而来,使我筋疲力尽。但是在这里有一个力量——主耶稣无限的力量——可以给我使用。
我只需与他接触,与他交通,虽然仅有信心的一个小指头钩住他,也已经足够叫他的力量给我使用,来应付一切我所不能胜任的事情了。”
这一次,我不只得了一个属灵的教训,也把我一身的重压抛去了。——译自《更完美的生命》(The Life of Fuller Purpose)
Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith Jehovah of hosts (Zech. 4:6).
My way led up a hill, and right at the foot I saw a boy on a bicycle. He was pedalling up hill against the wind, and evidently found it a tremendously hard work. Just as he was working most strenuously and doing his best painfully, there came a trolley car going in the same direction--up the hill.
It was not going too fast for the boy to get behind it, and with one hand to lay hold of the bar at the back. Then you know what happened. He went up that hill like a bird. Then it flashed upon me:
"Why, I am like that boy on the bicycle in my weariness and weakness. I am pedalling up hill against all kinds of opposition, and am almost worn out with the task. But here at hand is a great available power, the strength of the Lord Jesus.
"I have only to get in touch with Him and to maintain communication with Him, though it may be only one little finger of faith, and that will be enough to make His power mine for the doing of this bit of service that just now seems too much for me." And I was helped to dismiss my weariness and to realize this truth.
