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.

你肯不肯[不知去向]就出去？

出去的時候，還不知往那裡去。 （來十一8）

你曾否這樣出去？若有，那麼當有人問你在幹什麼時，你簡直沒有合邏輯的話可以回答。作神的工其中一個難題就是－－[你期望做些什麼？ ]你根本不知道該做什麼，你唯一知道的，是神知道他在做什麼。要經常審查自己對神的態度，看看是否竭盡所能，完全信靠神。這種態度使你不住的稀奇，因你不知道神下一步會怎樣做。每天清晨醒來，就是新的[出去]，建立對神的靠賴。 [不要為生活謀算……也不要為身體擔憂。 ]你[出去]之前，這些東西都不要再理會了。你是否不住的在追問神，他將做些什麼，神決不會告訴你。神不會告訴你他怎樣行事，他只會向你顯明他是誰。你相信神是行神蹟的神嗎？你肯不肯順命出去，對他所作的一切，一點也不詫異？

假若神真是你親近他時所認識的神，憂慮是何等不當哩！讓我們的生命不斷地靠著神[出去]，那么生命會奇妙得難以形容，且叫耶穌心滿意足。你一定要好好學習從信念、教條、經驗中出來，直至你與神之間，已全無隔膜。

祈禱◆主啊，我對祢渴慕的心是何等熱切地加增，這種心情並非以任何狹隘得方式來表達，乃是藉著榮耀得方式表現出來－－更完全的實現祢的聖潔。
