0102 你会不知道就出去吗？
…出去的时候，还不知往那里去。《希伯来书 11:8》
你曾否以这种方式「出去」过？如果有，那么当人问：你在做什么时，你不可能有合乎逻辑的答案。基督教事工中，最难回答的问题之一是：「你期望做什么？」你不知道自己将要做什么。你唯一知道的是神知道祂在做什么。要不断审视你对神的态度，看看你是否愿意在生活的每一个领域都 「走出去」，完全信靠神。正是这种心态，会让你不断感到惊奇，因为你不知道神接下来会做什么。每天早晨当你醒来时，都有新的机会可以「出去」，建立在你对神的信靠上。「…不要为生命忧虑吃什么，为身体忧虑穿什么。」（路加福音12:22）。换言之，在你真的 「出去」之前，不要忧虑那些你所担心的事。
你是否一直问神祂将要做什么？祂永远不会告诉你的。神不告诉你祂将要做什么——但祂向你显明祂是谁。你是否相信一位行神迹的神，你愿意完全降服于祂而「走出去」，直到你对祂所做的任何事情丝毫不感惊讶呢？
当你最靠近神时，要相信神始终是你所认识的那位神。然后想想，担忧是多么不必要和不尊重神的行为！让你生活的态度是不断愿意依靠神而「走出去」，你的生命就会充满神圣且无法言喻的魅力，这令耶稣非常满意的。你必须学习通过你的信念、教义或经历「走出去」，直到你在信仰中达到一个没有任何事物阻隔你与上帝之间的地步。

安慰者的位置不是传道者的位置，而是那位什么都没说，却为这事向神祷告的伙伴的。对于那些正在受苦的人，你能做的最大之事，不是说些陈腔滥调，也不是提问问题，而是与神联系，「更大的事」将通过祷告做成（参见约翰福音 14:12-13）。《力图更佳战斗》
0102 Will You Go Out Without Knowing?
He went out, not knowing where he was going. —Hebrews 11:8
Have you ever “gone out” in this way? If so, there is no logical answer possible when anyone asks you what you are doing. One of the most difficult questions to answer in Christian work is, “What do you expect to do?” You don’t know what you are going to do. The only thing you know is that God knows what He is doing. Continually examine your attitude toward God to see if you are willing to “go out” in every area of your life, trusting in God entirely. It is this attitude that keeps you in constant wonder, because you don’t know what God is going to do next. Each morning as you wake, there is a new opportunity to “go out,” building your confidence in God. “…do not worry about your life…nor about the body…” (Luke 12:22). In other words, don’t worry about the things that concerned you before you did “go out.”
Have you been asking God what He is going to do? He will never tell you. God does not tell you what He is going to do— He reveals to you who He is. Do you believe in a miracle-working God, and will you “go out” in complete surrender to Him until you are not surprised one iota by anything He does?
Believe God is always the God you know Him to be when you are nearest to Him. Then think how unnecessary and disrespectful worry is! Let the attitude of your life be a continual willingness to “go out” in dependence upon God, and your life will have a sacred and inexpressible charm about it that is very satisfying to Jesus. You must learn to “go out” through your convictions, creeds, or experiences until you come to the point in your faith where there is nothing between yourself and God.
WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
The place for the comforter is not that of one who preaches, but of the comrade who says nothing, but prays to God about the matter. The biggest thing you can do for those who are suffering is not to talk platitudes, not to ask questions, but to get into contact with God, and the “greater works” will be done by prayer (see John 14:12–13).
