患难中的基督徒
Suffering As a Christian
耶和华啊，你所管教、用律法所教训的人是有福的！
——诗94:12
Blessed is the man whom [the Lord] chasteneth . . .
—Psalm 94:12
神有时候会允许基督徒遇到患难，目的是为了使他们学习顺服。诗人大卫说：“我未受苦以先走迷了路，现在却遵守你的话。” 直到经历过巨大的痛苦和患难之后大卫才学会了顺服神。
亲爱的主内朋友，如果你正在遭遇患难，并且问了无数次“为什么”，我恳求你 忍耐、安静在神的面前，倾听神微小的声音，降服于祂的慈爱之手，要知道云层之上，阳光依然照耀。上帝对你的生命有一个目的和设计，发生在你身上的一切都是为了你的益处。
God sometimes allows Christians to suffer, in order that they might learn the secret of obedience. The Psalmist said, “Before I was afflicted, I went astray; but now have I kept thy word” (Psalm 119:67). It was not until after great sorrow and much affliction that David learned obedience to God.
My dear Christian friend, if you are today suffering at the hand of God and you have asked a thousand times, “Why?” I beg of you to be patient and quiet before God, and listen to the still, small voice. Bow under His loving hand and recognize that above the clouds the sun is shining. God has a purpose and design for your life, and what is happening to you is for your good.
今日祷告
每当我遭遇患难的时候，我的肉体说：“神啊，为什么会这样？”但是被圣灵充满而重生的我会说“父啊，我相信你！”
Prayer for the day
The human in me says, “Why, Lord?” whenever I have to bear suffering—but the Spirit-filled me that was born again says, “I trust You, Father.”
