0102 你會不知道就出去嗎？
…出去的時候，還不知往那裡去。《希伯來書 11:8》
你曾否以這種方式「出去」過？如果有，那麼當人問：你在做什麼時，你不可能有合乎邏輯的答案。基督教事工中，最難回答的問題之一是：「你期望做什麼？」你不知道自己將要做什麼。你唯一知道的是神知道祂在做什麼。要不斷審視你對神的態度，看看你是否願意在生活的每一個領域都 「走出去」，完全信靠神。正是這種心態，會讓你不斷感到驚奇，因為你不知道神接下來會做什麼。每天早晨當你醒來時，都有新的機會可以「出去」，建立在你對神的信靠上。「…不要為生命憂慮吃什麼，為身體憂慮穿什麼。」（路加福音12:22）。換言之，在你真的 「出去」之前，不要憂慮那些你所擔心的事。
你是否一直問神祂將要做什麼？祂永遠不會告訴你的。神不告訴你祂將要做什麼——但祂向你顯明祂是誰。你是否相信一位行神跡的神，你願意完全降服於祂而「走出去」，直到你對祂所做的任何事情絲毫不感驚訝呢？
當你最靠近神時，要相信神始終是你所認識的那位神。然後想想，擔憂是多麼不必要和不尊重神的行為！讓你生活的態度是不斷願意依靠神而「走出去」，你的生命就會充滿神聖且無法言喻的魅力，這令耶穌非常滿意的。你必須學習通過你的信念、教義或經歷「走出去」，直到你在信仰中達到一個沒有任何事物阻隔你與上帝之間的地步。

安慰者的位置不是傳道者的位置，而是那位什麼都沒說，卻為這事向神禱告的夥伴的。對於那些正在受苦的人，你能做的最大之事，不是說些陳腔濫調，也不是提問問題，而是與神聯繫，「更大的事」將通過禱告做成（參見約翰福音 14:12-13）。《力圖更佳戰鬥》
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).
