一個完全的心

經文: 「耶和華的眼目遍察全地，要顯大能幫助向祂心存誠實的人。」（歷代志下十六：9）

在一般的事情上，我們知道專心一致，全心全意是多麽重要！屬靈的事情也不例外，上帝也給我們這樣的命令：「你要盡心、盡性、盡力、愛耶和華你的上帝。」（申六：5）又說：「你們尋求我，若專心尋求我，就必尋見。」（耶廿九：13）         令人百思不解的是基督徒對一般世俗的事，能極爲專注投入，對教會的侍奉卻馬馬虎虎，不以爲意。從經文中我們得知「上帝要顯大能幫助向祂心存誠實的人。」這是多麽振奮人心的應許！只要我們存謙卑的心等候在上帝面前，祂的眼目就要眷顧我們，且要以大能的膀臂幫助我們，祝福我們的工作。         弟兄姐妹們，你有沒有每天早晨誠心誠意地來到上帝面前，用最懇切的態度陳明你的心意？用信心等候、期待上帝大能的作爲行使在你身上？         且要謹記一點，就是首先要安靜在上帝面前，直到你感覺到暗中的父在你心中做工。         「我等候上帝。」（詩篇六十九：3）         「祂必暗暗的保守我，……把我藏在祂帳幕的隱密處。」（詩篇廿七：5）

A PERFECT HEART

Scripture: "For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong in behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward Him.—2 CHRON. xvi. 9.

In worldly matters we know how important it is that work should be done with the whole heart. In the spiritual region this rule still holds good inexorably. God has given the commandment: "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart and with all thy might" (Deut. vi. 5). And in Jer. xxix. 13, "Ye shall seek Me, and find Me, when ye shall search for Me with all your heart."         It is amazing that earnest Christians, who attend to their daily work with all their hearts, are so content to take things easy in the service of God. They do not realize that if anywhere, they should give themselves to God's service with all the power of their will.         In the words of our text we get an insight into the absolute necessity of seeking God with a perfect heart. "The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong in behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward Him."         What an encouragement this should be to us to humbly wait upon God with an upright heart; we may be assured that His eye will be upon us, and will show forth His mighty power in us and in our work.         O Christian, have you learnt this lesson in your worship of God—to yield yourself each morning with your whole heart to do God's will? Pray each prayer with a perfect heart, in true whole-hearted devotion to Him; and then in faith expect the power of God to work in you and through you.         Remember that to come to this, you must begin by being silent before God, till you realize that He is indeed working m secret in your heart.         "I wait for my God" (Ps. Ixix. 3).         "In the secret of His tabernacle shall He hide me" (Ps. ii. 5).
