我眷顧他,為要叫他吩咐他的眾子,和他的眷屬,遵守我的道,秉公行義,使我所應許亞伯拉罕的話都成就了。(創18:19)
For I have chosen him, so that he will direct his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing what is right and just, so that the LORD will bring about for Abraham what he has promised him." (Gen.18:19)
人是一種有很有才能的受造物,弄出了三千兩百六十萬條律法,卻至今尚未在遵行十誡上有進展。
Man is an able creature, but he has made 32,600,000 laws and hasn’t yet improved on the Ten Commandments.
聖經說:「馬是為打仗之日預備的,得勝乃在乎上主耶和華。」
人生像一場戰爭,但聖經說,我們爭戰的對象不是屬血氣的人,而是這世界放縱或驕傲的風俗,以及我們自己裡面的自私、仇恨、苦毒、煩躁;我稱這是屬靈的爭戰。
馬年我們用漂亮、聰明、勇敢、有耐力的阿拉伯馬,來思想人生的屬靈爭戰,當有怎樣的預備。阿拉伯馬體型小而速度快,爭戰得勝不需要高大,謙卑微小反使我們更預備好要得勝;微小使我們不消耗力量在自己身上,謙卑微小是我們爭戰得勝的要件。
