凭信心跨出一步  BRD REFLECTIONS: John 5 and Psalms 57 (NIV) (苏慧珠, 门徒课程协调员) 读: 约翰福音 5:7-9（和合本）  那人立刻痊愈，就拿起自己的褥子走了。‘ ‘病人回答他：“先生，水动的时候，没有人把我放在池子里；我正要去的时候，别人比我先下去了。”  耶稣对他说：“起来，拿起你的褥子走吧！”  观察: 看看,发生了什么? 那个人感到无助，认为需要他人的帮助才能得到治疗。耶稣没有按照他想的那样帮助他，而是命令他采取行动。 该人如何做出反应? 最初，这个人将注意力集中在自己的无能和缺乏帮助上。然而，当耶稣告诉他起来时，他选择相信耶稣并顺服祂，从而得到医治。 最重要的转变是什么? 那个人从专注于自己的不足转变为信靠耶稣并采取行动。 应用: 我容易被自己的不足所困扰。我会列出我认为只有这些条件才能前进的清单，例如拥有这个或那个，或者至少需要一个明确的指示，告诉我正确的方向。 但触动我的是：耶稣就在我们的等待中与我们同在。祂不总是改变我们的环境，但祂改变了我们如何看待环境的方式。我们的局限，反而成为信任祂、依靠祂的机会。 行动: 在这个等待的季节里，我希望更亲近耶稣，不仅仅是当我的救主，更是我最亲密的朋友。我希望花更多时间在祂的话语中，更坦诚地与祂交谈并更加信靠祂的应许。我祈求祂赐我勇气，即使我认为自己还没有完全准备好，也能迈出一点信心，并在每一步中感受到祂与我同在的平安。 祷告: 亲爱的主, 我恳求你，在这个等待季节里，我渴望更深入地认识你。帮助我敞开心扉，与你坦诚对话。教我聆听祢的声音，信靠祢的应许，深入祢的话语。 赐我勇气迈出小小的信心，即使我不确定或没准备好。提醒我，我从不孤单，祢一直与我同行。让我在信任祢完美时机和计划的过程中，心中充满平安。 奉耶稣的名祷告，阿们。
