信仰的持守 BRD REFLECTIONS: 约伯记 第二十二章 & 诗篇 第一百二十一章 刘燕霞（华文儿童事工领袖） 研读： 【约伯记22：4】岂是因你敬畏他，就责备你、审判你吗？ 【约伯记22：5】你的罪恶岂不是大吗？你的罪孽也没有穷尽。 观察： 简短的两节经句以反问句的形式，出现在《约伯记》的字里行间，令我似曾相识；我和先生同为基督徒，我早先生一年信主；记得在刚信主之初，有一次，因为对经文的理解和属世观点不同，我们之间发生小小的争执；而我的第一反应就是引用经文来反驳他；并严肃地告诉他：你的理解和观点不是上帝所喜悦的，你偏离了属灵的方向！先生静默。 直到有一天，门徒课后，我们走在回家的路上，先生突然问我：“你对约伯的这三位朋友有什么看法？你能感受到约伯的内心活动吗？”惊愕中，我陷入了沉思…（这天的课程主题《约伯记》） 反思： 在经文中，以利法毫不客气地指责了约伯，虽然没有依据，但他仍然认为约伯遭受苦难是因为犯罪所引起的；现在看来，这样的思维犹如—成功神学逻辑：上帝乐意赐福给祂百姓或义人的，神的百姓就一定会成功，凡事亨通。反之，若你不能成功或遭受苦难，那一定是你在上帝面前犯了罪。对于现在的我，会突然感觉这是一种很可怕逻辑，既把普通律当作唯一律。 反观初信者的我，何尝不是像以利法一样，坚信上帝会惩罚恶人和属灵过犯的人；却标榜自己才是最了解上帝心意的人。也许我可以把圣经经节倒背如流；也许我会认为自己才是替上帝伸张正义的人；也许我会感觉自己已经稳稳地走在了真理的道路上。但我却没有发现，自己已经站在了道德的制高点上，肆意的去指责别人的过犯，并得出结论‘需要悔改归向神’与此同时，把自己排除在罪的范围之外，却浑然不知。这样的做法本身就是犯罪。 行动： 《约伯记》22章，以利沙的观点似乎不适用于约伯；但对于我这个当代的基督徒来说，是有正面意义的；同时也是很好的提醒；警醒我要真正地把自己所认为正确和善良的珍宝，丢弃在尘土中，降卑自己的心，以神为珍宝，蒙到神的恩典，得到神的拯救。 祷告： 慈爱的阿爸天父，感谢您让我在约伯记的研读中看到了自己曾经的自以为是；同时，也在以利沙对朋友的论断中得到警醒。求主帮助我常常谦卑在您的面前，在遭遇困难和逆境时，坚守信仰；堵住撒旦侵入的破口；靠主得胜；行走在主耶稣的真理之路上。祷告奉我主耶稣基督的名求 Amen。
