願你的旨意成就
詩篇四十篇1至8節
1（大衛的詩，交與伶長。）我曾耐性等候耶和華；他垂聽我的呼求。
2他從禍坑裡，從淤泥中，把我拉上來，使我的腳立在磐石上，使我腳步穩當。
3他使我口唱新歌，就是讚美我們神的話。許多人必看見而懼怕，並要倚靠耶和華。
4那倚靠耶和華、不理會狂傲和偏向虛假之輩的，這人便為有福！
5耶和華─我的神啊，你所行的奇事，並你向我們所懷的意念甚多，不能向你陳明。若要陳明，其事不可勝數。
6祭物和禮物，你不喜悅；你已經開通我的耳朵。燔祭和贖罪祭非你所要。
7那時我說：看哪，我來了！我的事在經卷上已經記載了。
8我的神啊，我樂意照你的旨意行；你的律法在我心裡。

主禱文的字數雖少，但言簡意賅。今天我們會思想「願你的旨意行在地上，如同行在天上」這句禱文的含意。這句禱文乃是全篇的要旨所在，教導我們這樣禱告的主耶穌，正是用了祂的一生來為這句禱文下了注腳。祂的所言所行，將「願你的旨意成就」這個祈求，演譯得淋漓盡致；祂以行動來證明祂並非空言：「因為我不求自己的意思，只求那差我來者的意思。」（約五30）
我們可能因為不同的原因而說出類似的話。當我們有一些深刻的屬靈經歷時，我們可能會浩氣干雲地立志順服神的意思。另一些時候，我們是淚流滿面地向神表示順服。有時，我們是出於真誠的信靠而向神立志。還有些時候，是在忿忿不平和灰心喪氣的情況下，帶著無奈地對神說：「我終於要認輸了。你比我強；若是出於你的意思，我怎樣也改變不了。」
無論如何，當我們真心說出這句禱文，便代表我們承認神知道甚麼是最好的；因著祂的全智和慈愛，我們甘願順服。當我們願意順服的時候，神便可以成就祂在我們身上的計劃和旨意。
海倫˙凱勒的老師沙利文曾經說過：「我清楚體會到，除非她學會聽從我的話，否則，無論我怎樣努力去教她語言或任何東西，都只會徒勞無功。我愈深入思想，就愈加相信，一個小孩子必須學會服從，才能讓知識和愛進入他的心中。」
這正是「願你的旨意成就」的含義所在。一個人若要快樂地度過一生，並且被神使用，訣竅就是要具備這種順服的心態。當我們能夠心口如一地發出這個祈求，並在生活中真正尋求神的意思，我們的人生一定會有截然不同的改變。
但人始終是軟弱的，我們需要經常用這句禱文來提醒自己，承認耶穌基督擁有我們人生的主權。我們能夠每天用這句禱文來向主祈求嗎？那麼，無論當天發生甚麼事，我們都願意接受那是出於神的旨意嗎？這是蒙福和得享平安的途徑。
願你的旨意行在地上，如同行在天上。
THY WILL BE DONE
Psalm 40:1-8
1 I waited patiently for the LORD;
And He inclined to me,
And heard my cry.
2 He also brought me up out of a horrible pit,
Out of the miry clay,
And set my feet upon a rock,
And established my steps.
3 He has put a new song in my mouth—
Praise to our God;
Many will see it and fear,
And will trust in the LORD.
4 Blessed is that man who makes the LORD his trust,
And does not respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
5 Many, O LORD my God, are Your wonderful works
Which You have done;
And Your thoughts toward us
Cannot be recounted to You in order;
If I would declare and speak of them,
They are more than can be numbered.
6 Sacrifice and offering You did not desire;
My ears You have opened.
Burnt offering and sin offering You did not require.
7 Then I said, “Behold, I come;
In the scroll of the book it is written of me.
8 I delight to do Your will, O my God,
And Your law is within my heart.”
Message
These words can be said for different reasons. Many of us have had to say them during one of the deeper experiences of our lives. It may be they were spoken with tears - it isn't always easy to say them. Sometimes they are a sincere expression of our faith. They can be said out of bitterness or defeat. "I finally had to give in. God is bigger than I am and there was nothing I could do to prevent it. It must have been God's will."
When we say truly these words, we recognize that God knows best and we are surrendering to His divine wisdom and love. As we submit to Him, He is able to work out His plan and purposes for us.
Anne Sullivan, the remarkable teacher of Helen Keller, said, "I saw clearly it was useless to try and teach her language or anything else until she learned to obey me. The more I think about it the more certain I am that obedience is the gateway through which knowledge and love enter the mind of a child."
That is what this phrase "Thy will be done" is all about. It is the key phrase to a life of happiness and usefulness for God. We can say it once and mean it. In doing so, it can make a great difference in our lives.
But somehow it needs to be said again and again. It is a constant recognition of the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Can we say it each morning? Then we can accept whatever happens that day as being in the will of God for us. That is the way of blessing. That is the way of peace.
THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN.
