不是倚靠才能/Not By Might
能得到人的稱讚是件令人雀躍的事，當有人稱讚說「你好有才」的時候，
當然心情很美。然而，我們知道當我們事奉的時候，我們事奉的乃是神，
我們知道當我們回應呼召的時候，並不是因為我們有才，而是神的揀選與呼召，
我們所當做的就是回應，然後緊緊倚靠神，祂會賜下恩典與能力及供應一切所需；
我們只當學習主耶穌基督的樣式，認知到我們憑自己不能做什麼，
惟有倚靠神的靈方能成事，那麼我們就得自由不會被今生的驕傲所捆綁。
但求主得榮耀而不是我自己得稱讚了。
因為確實知道自己的不才，呼召乃是主恩典。
「耶穌對他們說：「我實實在在地告訴你們，子憑着自己不能做甚麼，
惟有看見父所做的，子才能做；父所做的事，子也照樣做。」
約翰福音 5:19 CUNP-神
「耶穌對信他的猶太人說：「你們若常常遵守我的道，就真是我的門徒；
你們必曉得真理，真理必叫你們得以自由。」」
約翰福音 8: 31-32 CUNP-神
「祂對我說：「這是耶和華指示所羅巴伯的。
萬軍之耶和華說：不是倚靠勢力，不是倚靠才能，
乃是倚靠我的靈方能成事 。」
撒迦利亞書 4:6 CUNP-神
「但聖靈降臨在你們身上，你們就必得着能力，
並要在 耶路撒冷 、 猶太 全地，和 撒馬利亞 ，直到地極，作我的見證。」」
使徒行傳 1:8 CUNP-神
「等到聖靈從上澆灌我們， 曠野就變為肥田， 肥田看如樹林。」
以賽亞書 32:15 CUNP-神
It feels good to be praised by people. When someone says, "You are so talented", of course it feels very good. However, we know that when we serve, we are serving our Lord. When we respond to our calling, it is not because of our talents,
but because of God’s choice and calling. All we need to do is to respond,
and then lean on God. He will grant us the grace and capability,
and provides for all of our needs.
What we should learn from the example of Lord Jesus Christ
is to recognize that we can do nothing on our own.
And we can only serve by relying on the Spirit of God.
Therefore we will be set free and not be bound by the pride of this life.
I pray that the Lord receives the glory, not me.
Because we truly know our own incompetence,
calling is all about the grace of the Lord.
“So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do
nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing.
For whatever the Father does, that the Son does likewise.”
John 5:19 ESV
“So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him,
“If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples,
and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.””
John 8:31-32 ESV
“So he 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 Almighty.”
Zechariah 4:6 NIV
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you;
and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem,
and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.””
Acts 1:8 NIV
“till the Spirit is poured on us from on high, and the desert becomes a fertile field, and the fertile field seems like a forest.”
Isaiah 32:15 NIV
