0912 把你的计划交托给我
亲爱的,我看到你急于求成,渴望有所作为。我喜爱你的热情,但我必须告诫你,切勿凭己力行事。行在我的旨意中,就释放我的恩典。留在我定的时机里,并信靠我来为你开启各扇门,是你实现真正命定的唯一方法。你无法迫使我做事,你切不可为了急于看到我的旨意成就而过度努力,以至于偏离了我的时间安排和恩典。
我请求你将你的计划托付于我。你可以制定计划,但随后要带着完全的信任和确信把它们交给我。留意我轻柔的提醒,我会引导你找到合适的人和地方。不要忽略那些突然、偶然迸发在你心中的灵感——它们常常就是你下一段旅程所需要的钥匙。我喜欢你的兴奋和热忱,但我们一起同在计划之中。信靠我,我的智慧会指引你;你只需要祈求并相信。
亲爱的朋友们,不要让这一件事逃过你们的注意:在主耶和华看来,一日如千年,千年如一日。这意味着,与人的看法相反,主并没有像某些人认为的那样,迟迟不肯兑现祂的应许。相反,祂的“延迟”恰恰显明了祂对你们的慈爱忍耐,因为祂不愿有一人毁灭,乃愿所有人都悔改。——彼得后书 3:8-9
0912 Trust me with your plans
Beloved, I see your restlessness to make things happen. I love your excitement, but I must warn you against striving to do things in your own strength. Walking in my will releases my grace. Remaining in my timing and trusting me to open doors is the only way you are going to fulfill your true destiny. You cannot force my hand. You must not fight so hard to see my will come to pass that you actually step out of my timing and grace.
I’m asking you to trust me with your plans. Make them, but then release them to me in total trust and confidence. Pay attention to the gentle nudges as I direct you to the right people and places. Don’t ignore those spontaneous, random ideas that spark inside you–often, they are the keys you need for the next step of your journey. I love your excitement, but we are in this together. Trust me. My wisdom will lead you; you only need to ask and believe.
Dear friends, don’t let this one thing escape your notice: a single day counts like a thousand years to the Lord Yahweh, and a thousand years counts as one day. This means that, contrary to man’s perspective, the Lord is not late with his promise to return, as some measure lateness. But rather, his “delay” simply reveals his loving patience toward you, because he does not want any to perish but all to come to repentance. –2 PETER 3:8-9
