標　　題： 耶穌必要重新調整你

經　　節： 耶穌稍往前走，又見西庇太的兒子雅各和雅各的兄弟約翰在船上補網。耶穌隨即招呼他們，他們就把父親西庇太和雇工人留在船上，跟從耶穌去了。（馬可福音一章19∼20節）

我們有個傾向就是找尋自己的「安全地帶」，然後，定住不再移動。如果你完全掌控自己當前的處境或生活的形式，你已經停止瞭解神的作為。神盼望把你由現狀挪到祂要你去的地方。你與順服總有一步之遙，以致不能領受下一個神要你學習關於祂自己的真理。你可能感到自己有太多該學的，及需要更深經歷天父之處，因而心情煩躁。有時候，這種感受意味著你該搬家或換工作。這可能是個指針，要你的禱告進入更深的層面。也許你對神的信賴必須到一個你從未經歷的地步。

漁夫不可能一面待在船上，一面變成耶穌基督的門徒。神在亞伯拉罕七十五歲那年，交給他一生最主要的使命。以上這些人都需要中斷自己日常的工作，好達到自己與神關係的更高峰。同樣地，為了讓你能夠更進一步經歷祂，祂會要求你作些調整。你是否預備好讓基督更深地向你開啟祂自己，改變你的生命？你願意放棄你個人的安適嗎？

Christ Must Reorient You

When He had gone a little farther from there, He saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the boat mending their nets. And immediately He called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went after Him. (Mark 1:19-20)

We have a natural tendency to find our “comfort zone” and then position ourselves firmly in place. If you are in a situation or lifestyle where you are perfectly capable of handling everything, you have stopped growing in your understanding of God. God’s desire is to take you from where you are to where He wants you to be. You will always be one step of obedience away from the next truth God wants you to learn about Him. You may experience a restlessness whereby you sense that there is far more you should be learning and experiencing about the Father. At times, this will mean that you should move to a new location or take a new job. It could indicate that you need a deeper dimension added to your prayer life. Perhaps you need to trust God to a degree you never have before.

The fishermen could not remain in their fishing boats and become apostles of Jesus Christ. Abraham was seventy-five years old when God gave him his major life assignment. These men had to disrupt their comfortable routine in order to reach new heights in their relationship with their Lord. Likewise, in order to experience God to the degree He wants you to there will be adjustments He will ask of you. Are you prepared for Christ to reveal Himself to you in dimensions that will change your life? Are you willing to abandon that which makes you comfortable?
