安靜的心

真正心靈的安靜，不是遠離塵囂，不是冷漠，不是看破紅塵，不是做堅忍的隱士，而是把希望投放在正確的位子。因著驕傲，我們追求功名成就，追求他人的稱讚與認同，因著驕傲，我們輕看同類，也因著驕傲，我們不滿世上的種種醜陋，逃避到自己的世界，沉迷於自己的愛好，追求讓自己感到「舒服」的東西。無論我們以何種方式想安靜下來，我們都無法真正安靜，因為驕傲是心靈焦躁不安的噪音製造器。唯有主耶穌基督才能平息我們心中的風暴。他平息了奔騰的海浪，他甚至讓惡的靈聽從他。他懂得怎樣教我們安靜。No pride, no looking down from on high, no hot pursuit of pipe dreams.The soul storm meet their master"Be quiet, be still"

 

下面是我的功課的一部分，與朋友們分享，審視自己，並在主里得享安息。

 

 

The sentence that strikes me most is 「I want to be God」. 「Only one thing is strong enough to overpower a stormy life: what God promises to do in and through Jesus Christ. 」

 

I know God is the highest, comparing to him, I am nothing. Wanting to be God is seriously blaspheming God. I thought I exalted God in my heart. But now, after looking deeply inside myself, who ruled me is not the King of king, but my own pride and wills. Adam and Eva sinned because they want to be God. My soul can』t be quiet because I am chasing things too great and too wonderful-my vainglory.

 

「Be still, and know that I am God」. When I set my hope in the right place, I would become the right size. Only Jesus can disassemble the noise machine. He calmed the storm and commands even the demons, they obeyed him. Only he can teach me his way and set me free from anxiety, greedy, pride and escapism. Only he can break idol in my heart.

 

Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart; and you will find rest for your souls. I am sure I will find peace in Jesus and my heart would be quite like a weaned child on his mother, because this is his promise and He will and he can make this happen. Praise the Lord!

 

Dear Lord, teach me your way, Give me heart of submission and obedience. May your will of me fulfilled. I prayed in Jesus gracious name, Amen!
