你曾否试过怀疑神──祂怎么容让你的人生遭遇试炼和祸患，而其他生活顺遂的人，却完全没有给予你一点儿的关怀和帮助？

圣经告诉我们，神由一开始就看见事情的终结，没有任何东西能在祂眼前隐藏。祂的意念高过我们的意念，所以，我们以有限的理解能力，无法明白许多事情。但最重要的，是神的旨意和计划永远都是真实、公义和美善的。

以下这篇诗正是描述神在每个儿女的身上，都有各种不同的计划，要带领他们经过不同的道路。

有时

有时神要狮子的口紧闭，有时神要我们奋战到底；

有时祂叫乌鸦供给一切，有时涓涓河流也干涸见底。

有时熊熊烈火迅被扑灭，有时洪炉却被烧旺七倍；

有时祂将洋洋大海分开，有时滔天浪涛不住澎湃。

有时祂拨开锋利的刀剑，有时又让利刃直刺心扉；

有时仇敌从后步步进逼，有时祂让我们藏身祂怀。

我们不懂选择所走的路，也不敢孤身走自己的路；

因祂已安排最好的道路，祂更会亲自陪同作向导。

祂容许路途出现的危难，远比我们所恐惧的轻松；

「困难必有出路」这应许，正是助我勇往直前的武器。

牢记：

因祂已安排最好的道路，祂更会亲自陪同作向导。

Have you sometimes been tempted to question God - to wonder why he has allowed the trials and troubles which have come your way while others sail through life with hardly a care?

God sees the end from the beginning. We cannot understand, for his thoughts are far beyond ours. But his plans and purposes are always true and right and good.

The author of this poem expresses some of the differences in God's plans for his children.

Sometimes

Sometimes the lions' mouths are shut; Sometimes God bids us fight or fly;

Sometimes He feed us by the brook; Sometimes the flowing stream runs dry.

Sometimes the burning flames are quenched; Sometimes with sevenfold heat they glow;

Sometimes His hand divides the waves; Sometimes His billows overflow.

Sometimes He turns the sword aside; Sometimes He lets the sharp blade smite;

Sometimes our foes are at our heels; Sometimes He hides us from their sight.

We may not choose, nor would we dare, The path in which our feet shall tread,

Enough that He that path hath made, And He Himself shall walk ahead.

The danger that His love allows, Is safer than our fears may know;

The peril that His care permits, Is our defence where'er we go.

(From 'Providential Channels' by Retta Long)

REMEMBER:

'Enough that He that path hath made, And He Himself shall walk ahead.'
