很多时候我们的能力和天赋特长或者个人奋斗恰恰就是我们骄傲的根本原因。其实这都不是得胜的主要因素反而是那只看不见的手。
人看不见就以为没有,就抢夺上帝的荣耀,就骄傲自大狂妄了!
所以永远不要依靠势力,不要依靠才能,乃是要真正的依靠祂的大能。
正如经上所记:
若不是永恆主建造房屋,建造的人就枉然勞碌;若不是永恆主看守城池,看守的人就枉然儆醒。你們早早就起來,晚晚才歇息,喫勤勞得來的飯,盡是枉然;因為主在所愛的人睡覺時,已賜給他了。(詩篇 127:1-2 呂振中)
Unless the LORD builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless the LORD guards the city, The watchman stays awake in vain.It is vain for you to rise up early, To sit up late, To eat the bread of sorrows; For so He gives His beloved sleep.(Psalms 127:1-2 NKJV)
他以自己的势力为神,像风猛然扫过,显为有罪。(哈巴谷书 1:11 和合本)
Then they fly along like the wind and pass on. But they will be held guilty, They whose strength is their god.”(Habakkuk 1:11 NASB)
我必断绝你们因势力而有的骄傲,又要使覆你们的天如铁,载你们的地如铜。 你们要白白地劳力;因为你们的地不出土产,其上的树木也不结果子。(利未记 26:19-20 和合本)
I will break the pride of your power; I will make your heavens like iron and your earth like bronze.And your strength shall be spent in vain; for your land shall not yield its produce, nor shall the trees of the land yield their fruit.(Leviticus 26:19-20 NKJV)
他應聲告訴我說:『這是永恆主的話、向所羅巴伯說的:萬軍之永恆主說;不是依靠權勢,不是倚靠能力,乃是倚靠我的靈。 (撒迦利亞書 4:6 呂振中)
So he answered and said to me: “This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the LORD of hosts.(Zechariah 4:6 NKJV)
