6月30日 立刻做

趕緊與他（對頭）和息。（太五25）

耶穌基督定下了一個原則－－知道該做的現在就去做，而且要快快的做；否則，那無法避免的歷程就必發生，而你也得嘗受痛苦。神的律是不更改的，人也無法逃避。耶穌的教訓是針對我們本質而說的。

要仇敵尊重我的權利，是很自然的事，可是耶穌卻說償還仇敵的一切，才是最急切而有永恆價值的事。從主的角度看來，我被人欺詐與否，並不要緊；要緊的是我不欺詐人。我是否堅持爭取自己的權益，還是站在主的立場，償還我所欠的？

要快快的做，立即審判自己。不論在道德上，或屬靈上，都必須立刻去做；否則那無情的歷程就必開始。神一心要他的兒女清潔雪白，任何不順服他教訓的，他的靈就會不遺餘力地工作。

我們若一味堅持自己無辜，就表示還有些地方不順服。怪不得聖靈這麼強烈地催逼我們要常在光明中。

“趕快與他和息。”你是否一瞬間就察覺與人的關係中有憤怒存在？快快認罪，在神面前趕快解決，與那人和好－－現在就要去做。

祈禱◆主啊，願你成為我生命中一道生機蓬勃、甯謐安恬的廣闊河流。願你今天向我們每一個人展示更多的愛與溫柔－－尤其是我，因為許多人被我直接影響。

June 30 Do It Now

“Agree with thine adversary quickly.” Matthew 5:25

Jesus Christ is laying down this principle – Do what you know you must do, now, and do it quickly; if you do not, the inevitable process will begin to work and you will have to pay to the last farthing in pain and agony and distress. God's laws are unalterable; there is no escape from them. The teaching of Jesus goes straight to the way we are made up.

To see that my adversary gives me my rights is natural; but Jesus says that it is a matter of eternal and imperative importance to me that I pay my adversary what I owe him. From our Lord’s standpoint it does not matter whether I am defrauded or not; what does matter is that I do not defraud. Am I insisting on my rights, or am I paying what I owe from Jesus Christ's standpoint?

Do the thing quickly, bring yourself to judgment now. In moral and spiritual matters, you must do it at once; if you do not, the inexorable process will begin to work. God is determined to have His child as pure and clean and white as driven snow, and as long as there is disobedience in any point of His teaching, He will prevent none of the working of His spirit. Our insistence in proving that we are right is nearly always an indication that there has been some point of disobedience. No wonder the Spirit so strongly urges to keep steadfastly in the light!

“Agree with thine adversary quickly.” Have you suddenly turned a corner in any relationship and found that you had anger in your heart? Confess it quickly, quickly put it right before God, be reconciled to that one – do it now.
