可控的能量

Energy Under Control

如果神的灵住在你们心里，你们就不属肉体，乃属圣灵了，人若没有基督的灵，就不是属基督的。

——罗8:9

You are controlled by your new nature if you have the Spirit of God living in you . . .
—Romans 8:9 (TLB)

在生活中一匹可以驾驭的马要比一头野生的驴子做的贡献更大。失控的能量很危险，可控的能量会产生巨大的能力。神管教我们不是要辖制我们，而是为了赐我们一个蒙福有意义的人生。神是满有智慧的，他知道失控的人生注定是悲惨的人生，因此，他把缰绳放在我们任性的灵魂里，使我们的心灵向着“公义的道路”。那就是神在我们身上所做的事情：驯服我们，使我们在合理的控制下，重新定向我们的能力。神在属灵领域所做的工作正如科技在物质领域所做的工作一样，科技使尼亚加拉河的激烈的湍流转换成电能照亮了千万的家庭，推动了工业的发展，神的工作也是如此。

A harnessed horse contributes much more to life than a wild donkey. Energy out of control is dangerous; energy under control is powerful. God does not discipline us to subdue us, but to condition us for a life of usefulness and blessedness. In His wisdom He knows that an uncontrolled life is an unhappy life, so He puts reins on our wayward souls that they may be directed into the “paths of righteousness.” That is what God seeks to do with us; to tame us, to bring us under proper control, to redirect our energies. He does in the spiritual realm what science does in the physical realm. Science takes a Niagara River with its violent turbulence and transforms it into electrical energy to illuminate a million homes and to turn the productive wheels of industry.
