2月9日 你的靈疲憊不堪嗎？
永在的 神耶和華……幷不疲乏，也不困倦。（賽四十28）
疲憊就是生命的活力耗盡。屬靈的疲憊幷非因罪而來，而是因事奉而來。你疲憊與否，就視乎你的供應從何而得。耶穌對彼得說：“喂養我的羊。”却沒有給他飼料。要成爲擘開的餅，倒出來的酒，就必須要耗盡你的一點一滴，所以你要趕快得著供應，否則不需多久，你就精疲力竭了。人未懂得直接向主汲取供應之前，他們要透過你去獲得；你要像被人吮吸一般，直到他們學會了從神得養料。我們在神面前有這責任，不但要盡忠于他，也要爲他的羊群盡上一切。
你事奉神的方式是否令你疲憊不堪？若然，就該重新挑旺你的熱誠。你的事奉從哪裏出發？是從你個人的同情心，還是基于耶穌基督的救贖？要追溯你熱誠的根源，幷回想你能力來自何方。你沒有權這樣說：“主啊，我多麽困倦。”他拯救你，叫你成聖，正是要燃燒你。爲神耗盡吧，但緊記你的供應從他而來。“我的泉源都在你裏面。”
祈禱◆噢，主啊，我所渴求的是你！“我的心渴想神，就是永生神，我幾時得朝見神呢？”噢，願你的感動、你的生命、你的美善，此刻臨到我，主啊，就在我禱告的這一刻。
February 9 Are You Exhausted
Spiritually?
The everlasting God . . . neither faints
nor is weary —Isaiah 40:28
Exhaustion means that our vital energies are completely worn out and
spent. Spiritual exhaustion is never the result of sin, but of service. Whether
or not you experience exhaustion will depend on where you get your supplies.
Jesus said to Peter, “Feed My sheep,” but He gave him nothing with which to
feed them (John 21:17). The process of being made broken bread and poured-out
wine means that you have to be the nourishment for other people's souls until
they learn to feed on God. They must drain you completely— to the very last
drop. But be careful to replenish your supply, or you will quickly be utterly
exhausted. Until others learn to draw on the life of the Lord Jesus directly,
they will have to draw on His life through you. You must literally be their
source of supply, until they learn to take their nourishment from God. We owe
it to God to be our best for His lambs and sheep, as well as for Him.
Have you delivered yourself over to exhaustion because of the way you
have been serving God? If so, then renew and rekindle your desires and
affections. Examine your reasons for service. Is your source based on your own
understanding or is it grounded on the redemption of Jesus Christ? Continually
look back to the foundation of your love and affection and remember where your
Source of power lies. You have no right to complain, “O Lord, I am so
exhausted.” He saved and sanctified you to exhaust you. Be exhausted for God,
but remember that He is your supply. “All my springs are in you” (Psalm 87:7).
2月9日竭誠為主
