我們基督徒的光景，
不會每天都在山頂，
有時也有低谷陰晴；
試煉試誘時來攪擾；
但基督作生命性情，
便藉讚美勝過環境。
接著看看生命供應...
Transcending Everything through Praise / 藉著讚美超越過一切
~~~ Bible Verses ~~~ 聖經經節 ~~~~~~(Isa 38:18) For Sheol cannot thank You, and Death cannot praise You; They that go down to the pit cannot hope in Your truth. (以賽亞 38:18) 原來陰間不能稱謝你，死亡不能讚美你；下坑的人不能盼望你的真。(Isa 38:19) The living, the living, he will praise You, as I do today... (以賽亞 38:19) 只有活人，活人必稱謝你，像我今日稱謝你一樣…
~~~ Words of Ministry ~~~職事的話 ~~~~~~~
Your whole being may struggle, complain, and cry for justice. You may find it difficult to forgive or pardon others. It is hard for you to overcome your feeling. You are wronged, slandered, persecuted, and you cannot get over it. Prayer does not help much. You want to fight and struggle against it, but you cannot. The more you try to shake off this burden, the worse you become. You find it hard to overcome. Please remember that when you suffer great personal hardship and severe injustice, it is not the time for you to pray, but the time for you to praise. You should bow your head and say to the Lord, “I thank You. You are never wrong in what You do. I accept all these things from Your hands. I thank You . I praise You.” If you do this, all your problems will go away.
…好像全身都在那裡掙扎，全身都在那裡不平，全身都在那裡埋怨；你覺得赦免是何等的難，饒恕是何等的難，勝過是何等的難。當你受冤枉、受毀謗、受逼迫、裡面過不去的時候，你禱告沒有多大用處，你在那裡要抵擋也抵擋不來，你在那裡要掙扎也掙扎不來。越是拒絕這個重壓越不行。你總覺得這是何等難的事，你不容易勝過。請你記得，當你這些個人的難處受得最大，這些個人的冤枉受得最厲害的時候，不是你禱告的時候，而是你讚美的時候。你當低下頭來，對主說，『主！我感謝你。你所作的沒有錯。我從你手裡接受這一個，我謝謝你。我從你手裡接受這一個，我讚美你。』如果是這樣，就甚麼都過去了。
Victory has nothing to do with struggling with the flesh. It has nothing to do with trying to forgive others or striving to pardon others with one's own strength. Victory comes when one bows his head and praises the Lord: “I praise You for Your way. Your arrangement is always good. Whatever You do is right.” When you praise the Lord this way, your spirit will soar above your problems; it will soar above your inner wounds. Your spirit will transcend to the heights... The Christian life soars through praises. To praise is to transcend everything to touch the Lord. This was the pathway our Lord Jesus took when He was on earth.
得勝，並不是在自己與肉體爭戰，一直嘗試要赦免人，一直用力要赦免人；得勝，乃是在低下頭來，讚美主說，『主！我讚美你的道路。你所替我安排的，沒有錯。你所作的，都是好的。』當你這樣向著主讚美的時候，你的靈高過了你的難處，你的靈高過了你裡面受傷的感覺。…你的靈會爬得很高…。基督徒的生活，是從讚美爬上去的。讚美乃是超越過一切去摸著主。主耶穌在地上走的路就是這條路。
