我們的不信，是在我們道路中最大的阻礙；
事實上，關乎我們屬靈的進步與昌盛，
並沒有其他真正的困難。
主能夠行做萬事；然而，
當祂立下一個原則，
照你們的信，成全你們吧，
我們的不信就會綁住、
限制祂全能的手。
是的，如果我們能夠相信，
那些邪惡的同盟就必被驅散。
只要我們對真理的神有信心，
那被蔑視的真理終將昂首抬頭。
如果我們以信靠的手來扣上，
以平安作帶子，束我們的腰，
我們就能夠背負我們困難的擔子，
或是經過苦難的波浪而安然無恙。
有什麼是我們不能相信的呢？
每一件事都是可能的，
除了相信神以外嗎？
然而，祂一直是真實的；
我們為何不相信祂呢？
祂總是信實於祂的話語。
我們為何不信賴祂呢？
當我們處於正確的心態時，
信心就毫不費力，於是
對我們而言，依靠神是如此的自然，
就如同孩子信賴他的父親一樣。
最糟糕的是，我們可以在每一件事上都相信神，
但除了目前緊迫的試煉之外。這是愚眛。
來吧，我的靈魂，要擺脫這樣的罪，
並且將重擔、勞苦、和當下的渴望，信託給你的神。
這個做到了，一切都會成就的。
Our unbelief is the greatest hindrance in our way;
in fact, there is no other real difficulty as to
our spiritual progress and prosperity.
The Lord can do everything;
but when He makes a rule that
according to our faith
so shall it be unto us,
our unbelief ties the hands
of His omnipotence.
Yes, the confederacies of evil
shall be scattered if we can but believe.
Despised truth shall lift its head if we will but
have confidence in the God of truth.
We can bear our load of trouble or pass
uninjured through the waves of distress
if we can gird our loins with the girdle of peace,
that girdle which is buckled on by the hands of trust.
What can we not believe?
Is everything possible
except believing in God?
Yet He is always true;
why do we not believe in Him?
He is always faithful to His word;
why can we not trust Him?
When we are in a right state of heart,
faith costs no effort: it is then as natural
for us to rely upon God as for
a child to trust his father.
The worst of it is that we can believe God
about everything except the present pressing trial.
This is folly. Come, my soul, shake off such sinfulness,
and trust thy God with the load, the labor,
the longing of this present. This done, all is done.
- 司布真 (C. H. Spurgeon, 1834-1892)
