從這裏開始,告訴你,好嗎?( 六 )
甚麼甚麼旨意 ....
基督徒很喜歡問:這是神的心意嗎?
我會很誠實地告訴你:我並不知道。
我也曾經為決定認認真真的禱告,後來再深入想想...
禱告,是期望甚麼?
是期望甚麼神蹟顯現或從天而降的聲音?
是為决定作多一重保障?
那保障背後又為了甚麼?
為了安全和肯定?
肯定明天只有順利沒有困難?
無論求問的答案最終是或否,我總附加了一點個人的意願和主觀解釋,任何詳盡的分析也只憑我能理解的一小角落出發。對於明白神的心意,和自己的限制之間,只能誠實地說:我在知與不知兩者中,用了僅有的智慧和經驗,作了一個決定。
從來,不想將這些決定變得神聖化,
然後,堆上一些合理的因由把它變得無懈可擊。
信仰的信心操練,並不一定在大是大非的關鍵時刻,卻多數是在細微的日常生活中。從小事上學習用信心生活,遇上大事便不慌不忙。若能在日常生活真誠地實行聖經的原則,那麼,無論天涯海角,我都是活在神的心意裏。
這是神的心意嗎?
我會很誠實地告訴你:
學習每天愛神愛人,這便是神的心意,這比其它一切更重要。

Carmen,
KC once shared in our fellowship regaring how can we understand 神的心意. He said if we pray, stay closed to God and meditate on God's word frequent enough, we'll know easily. just like we know what our gd friends think/want b4 they tell us (just like the phrase in chinese "know what you want when your tail moves"). thx for ur sharing, let's 學習信心 & 交托 的功課together !

this is truely a FAQ as being a Christian--what is God's will? no matter is a question to ask ourself, or being challenged by others; little verse to share & experience: '要常常喜樂,不住的禱告,凡事謝恩;因為這是神在基督耶穌裡向你們所定的旨意。 帖前 5:16-18'
'Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)'
by saying that, it doesn't mean or want to act so godly, however, i was encouraged by His own words--Be joyful, pray continually, and give thanks....

Panda once shared in Galilee that God gives us freedom in our daily lives. As long as we are not deviating from God and violating His rule (e.g. The Ten Commandents), we have the freedom and God gives us our minds to make that decision.
I just come up with an analogy - it's like we are in university. As long as we do not violate the rule (e.g. plagiarism, bullying), we have the right to choose what we want to do (e.g. late night video game, snowball fight)
