创世记 15:5-6 于是领他⾛到外边,说:你向天观 看,数算众星,能数得过来吗?⼜对他说:你的后裔将要如此。亚伯兰信耶和华,耶和华就以此为他的义。(现代标点和合本)
Genesis 15:5-6 Then He brought him outside and said, “Look now toward heaven, and count the stars if you are able to number them.” And He said to him, “So shall your descendants be.” And he believed in the Lord, and He accounted it to him for righteousness. (KNJV)

你们当中可能也有⼈处在⿊暗中,被困在消极,压抑和⽆法释放的压⼒中。也许亚伯兰也曾有过相同的经历。在第五节中, 神把亚伯兰领到⼾外。也许现在的你也需要往外走,出去散个步,呼吸新鲜空⽓,调整⼼情,在灵⾥与主同⾏。你可以戴上⽿机听信息或敬拜歌曲。你们当中也许有些⼈当停⽌与配偶的争吵,开始与主同⾏, 听听祂有什么话跟你说。重要的是摆脱过 度纠结于问题当中,⽆论是经济的困境、 婚姻的摩擦还是家庭问题等。取⽽代之,⾛出去,敞开你的⼼领受主在这些事上所要对你说的话。 神告诉亚伯兰要向天观看,定睛看⻅从天上来的供应。与其专注于眼前的问题,神 敦促亚伯兰要将注意⼒转向从上头⽽来的丰盛供应,健康与恩典。 神吩咐亚伯兰去数算众星,建⽴他的信⼼,并⿎励亚伯兰想像这些星星都是他的后裔。同样的,来想像这些星星就是你的健康和你的供应。 亚伯兰信神,神就以此为他的义。亚伯兰在神眼中是⼀个义⼈。

It is possible that some of you find yourselves in a state of darkness, trapped in a place of negativity, stress, and unexplainable turmoil. Perhaps Abram experienced similar emotions. In verse 5, God brought Abram outside. Perhaps it is beneficial for you to follow suit. Take a literal walk, breathe in the fresh air, and attune your spirit to God's presence. Put on your headphones and immerse yourself in sermons or worship songs. Some of you may need to pause the arguments with your spouse and embark on a walk with God, listening intently to the message He has for you. It is essential to break free from dwelling solely on your problems—be it financial struggles, marital conflicts, or family issues. Instead, take a step outside and open your heart to receive God's perspective on these matters. God told Abram to look towards heaven. God was telling Abram to fix his eyes on the provisions that flowed from heaven. Rather than focusing on the problems at hand, God urged Abram to direct his attention to the abundant supply, health, and grace that emanated from above. God told Abram to count the stars, nurturing faith in his heart and encouraged Abram to envision that these stars are like Abram’s descendants. Likewise, imagine those stars as your health and provisions. Abram had faith in his heart. He believed in the Lord and God accounted it to him for righteousness. Abram was a righteous person in God’s sight.
