0912 把你的計劃交託給我
親愛的，我看到你急於求成，渴望有所作為。我喜愛你的熱情，但我必須告誡你，切勿憑己力行事。行在我的旨意中，就釋放我的恩典。留在我定的時機里，並信靠我來為你開啟各扇門，是你實現真正命定的唯一方法。你無法迫使我做事，你切不可為了急於看到我的旨意成就而過度努力，以至於偏離了我的時間安排和恩典。
我請求你將你的計劃託付於我。你可以制定計劃，但隨後要帶着完全的信任和確信把它們交給我。留意我輕柔的提醒，我會引導你找到合適的人和地方。不要忽略那些突然、偶然迸發在你心中的靈感——它們常常就是你下一段旅程所需要的鑰匙。我喜歡你的興奮和熱忱，但我們一起同在計劃之中。信靠我，我的智慧會指引你；你只需要祈求並相信。
親愛的朋友們，不要讓這一件事逃過你們的注意：在主耶和華看來，一日如千年，千年如一日。這意味着，與人的看法相反，主並沒有像某些人認為的那樣，遲遲不肯兌現祂的應許。相反，祂的“延遲”恰恰顯明了祂對你們的慈愛忍耐，因為祂不願有一人毀滅，乃願所有人都悔改。——彼得後書 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
