Stephen Furtick: 我相信许多人,也许不是所有人,都会发现自己处于这样的时刻。今天我想从出埃及记第三章一到十一节开始,继续上周的主题,探讨我们生命中那些上帝呼唤我们名字的时刻。有时上帝会重复呼唤你的名字,强调祂对你所说之话的紧迫性。这代表着你生命中一个关键时刻,你的过去与你的潜力、你的过去与你的目标之间存在冲突。摩西的故事就是一个很好的例子。摩西在旷野牧羊,上帝在燃烧的荆棘中向他显现,两次呼唤他的名字。摩西起初感到困惑和害怕,问上帝:‘我是谁?’上帝向摩西展现了祂的计划,要拯救以色列人出埃及。摩西的犹豫并非源于叛逆,而是源于他之前的失败经历带来的拒绝感。他第一次试图为他的百姓而战,却为此付出了在旷野漂流40年的代价。这40年,对他来说,感觉像是生命的终结,但对我们来说,这只是他生命旅程的中间阶段。 我们常常根据初次相遇时的印象来评判他人,而基督徒的成熟在于看到每个人生命中的历程,不以一时一事论英雄。摩西的经历告诉我们,生命中的低谷只是暂时的,之后会有更高的山峰。‘最好的时光已经过去’是一种谎言,即使在困境中,也仍然有希望。当上帝在说话时,将注意力转向自身是错误的,应该将注意力转向上帝。生命中的不安全感可以成为一种保障,让你在成功时不会自满,因为你知道那是上帝的作为。无私是减压最被低估的方法,专注于上帝而非自身能缓解压力。将困境视为生命旅程的中间阶段,可以改变一切。将焦点放在上帝已给予的恩典和使命上,就能发现一切都是足够的。即使经历了诸多苦难,仍然有理由赞美上帝,因为这只是生命旅程的中间阶段。

Chapters
This chapter explores the concept of pivotal moments in life where past experiences clash with future potential. Using Moses's story as an example, it emphasizes that God sometimes uses repetition to highlight the urgency of His message. The chapter introduces the central theme of 'moving it to the middle,' suggesting a shift in perspective.
  • God's repetition underscores the urgency of His message.
  • Pivotal moments involve a choice between past and potential.
  • Moses's story is used to illustrate this concept.

Stressed, insecure, and stuck — that’s how Moses felt, too. But that wasn’t the end of his story, and it’s not yours, either. It’s just the middle. There’s hope past this chapter, and it’s found by shifting your focus back to God.
