Apr 16【每日活水】常常dao告 不可灰心

 

路加fu yin18:1~8

寡妇和法官的比喻
1 YS 设一个比喻,是要人常常dao告,不可灰心。 
2说:「某城里有一个官,不惧怕  SHEN ,也不尊重世人。 
3那城里有个寡妇,常到他那里,说:『我有一个对头,求你给我伸冤。』 
4他多日不准,后来心里说:『我虽不惧怕  SHEN ,也不尊重世人, 
5只因这寡妇烦扰我,我就给她伸冤吧,免得她常来缠磨我!』」 
6主说:「你们听这不义之官所说的话。 
7   SHEN 的选民昼夜呼吁他,他纵然为他们忍了多时,岂不终久给他们伸冤吗? 
8我告诉你们,要快快地给他们伸冤了。然而,人子来的时候,遇得见世上有信德吗?」
The Parable of the Persistent Widow
1Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. 
2He said: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought.
3And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, ‘Grant me justice against my adversary.’
4 “For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear God or care what people think,
5yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won’t eventually come and attack me!’ ”
6And the Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says.
7And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off?
8I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”

灵/修指南

YS 用寡妇和法官的比喻教导MEN TU要常常dao告,不可灰心。法官的职责本应是做出公平公正的裁决,然而比喻中的法官却是个不义的法官,既不惧怕 SHEN ,也不尊重人。结果这样的一位法官遇到了一个在社会上被欺压的寡妇,她常到他那里,要求为她伸冤。法官很久都没有受理寡妇的请求,却因为受不了寡妇的纠缠,最终受理了她的请求,为她伸冤。 YS 反问道,不义的法官尚且答应寡妇的请求,公义良善的 SHEN 又岂会延迟给自己的选民伸冤呢? YS 说这话,不单单是说我们要坚持dao告,不可灰心,而是说信的人要用dao告胜过灰心。然而,随着主再来的日子临近,带着如此信心dao告的人愈来愈少。请铭记,没有dao告不蒙垂听,靠着dao告,我们能够胜过灰心。盼望我们今天也倚靠时时垂听我们dao告的主 YS ,来到 TA 的面前,屈膝dao告,忍耐等候。
 

内室dao告

愿我以信心常常dao告,用dao告胜过灰心,并忍耐等候 SHEN 的应允。
