《靈命日糧》 2013年 06月 24日 - Bill Crowder 飛行模擬器 讀經: 約翰福音16章25-33節 我將這些事告訴你們，是要叫你們在我裡面有平安。 —約翰福音16章33節 全年讀經: 約伯記1-2章 使徒行傳7章22-43節 飛行員在接受培訓時，會花許多時間在飛行模擬器裡面。這些模擬器讓學員體會在開飛機時會遇到的挑戰和危險，但卻沒有風險。飛行員不必離開地面，而且即使他們在模擬器裡面墜機了，也可以從容地離開。 模擬器是很棒的教學工具，它能幫助滿懷抱負的飛行員學習掌控一架真正的飛機。然而，這種儀器有一個缺點，因為它所創造的虛擬經驗，並無法完全反映在真正操控駕駛艙時，所須面對的全面壓力。 這正是真實生活的寫照，不是嗎？真實生活是無法被模擬的。這世界並沒有一個安全、無風險的環境，可以讓我們在毫髮無傷的情況下，經歷人生的跌宕起伏。生活在這個破碎的世界裡，風險及危險是無可避免的。這就是為什麼耶穌說的話如此令人欣慰，祂說：「我將這些事告訴你們，是要叫你們在我裡面有平安。在世上你們有苦難，但你們可以放心，我已經勝了世界。」（約翰福音16章33節） 雖然在這個敗壞世界裡，我們不能逃避生命中的各樣危險和磨難，但透過與耶穌建立關係，我們可以享有內心的平安。祂已經確保我們最後的勝利。 外在困難不止息， 靠主仍然心歡喜： 祢必保守我平安， 只要堅心倚靠祢。Anon. 順服神的生命最穩妥。 Our Daily Bread June 24, 2013 — by Bill Crowder Flight Simulator Radio is hosted by Les Lamborn Read: John 16:25-33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. —John 16:33 Bible in a Year: Job 1-2; Acts 7:22-43 When airplane pilots are training, they spend many hours in flight simulators. These simulators give the students a chance to experience the challenges and dangers of flying an aircraft—but without the risk. The pilots don’t have to leave the ground, and if they crash in the simulation, they can calmly walk away. Simulators are tremendous teaching tools—helpful in preparing the aspiring pilot to take command of an actual aircraft. The devices, however, have a shortcoming. They create an artificial experience in which the full-blown pressures of handling a real cockpit cannot be fully replicated. Real life is like that, isn’t it? It cannot be simulated. There is no safe, risk-free environment in which we can experience life’s ups and downs unharmed. The risks and dangers of living in a broken world are inescapable. That’s why the words of Jesus are so reassuring. He said, “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). Although we can’t avoid the dangers of life in a fallen world, we can have peace through a relationship with Jesus. He has secured our ultimate victory. Outward troubles may not cease, But this your joy will be: “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace Whose mind is stayed on Thee.” —Anon. No life is more secure than a life surrendered to God.
