经文：
“惟有义人因信得生。”（哈巴谷书 2:4）
“虽然无花果树不结果，葡萄树不发芽，橄榄树也不效力，田地不出粮食；荆棘和蒺藜遮满了地，但我要因耶和华欢欣，因救我的神喜乐。”（哈巴谷书 3:17-18）

故事：误解与信心的成长

在一所学校里，小豪是个特别的孩子。他从小就喜欢思考，提出许多超出年龄的问题。有时，他的问题过于犀利，让人难以回答，甚至让同学们误以为他是在故意刁难老师。课堂上，总有人窃窃私语：“小豪怎么这么没礼貌？连老师都敢质疑。”

但张老师从未责备过小豪。相反，他欣赏这个喜欢思考的学生。有时，他耐心解答小豪的问题，用生动的例子让大家理解；有时，他却选择沉默，不直接给出答案，只是微笑着说：“你们自己想一想，答案可能就在你们心里。”

然而，老师的沉默让许多学生不解。他们开始议论：“是不是老师也答不上来，所以才装作神秘？”时间久了，小豪渐渐觉得自己被同学孤立了，而张老师也遭受质疑。

终于有一天，小豪受不了了，他冲出教室，泪水在眼眶打转。他觉得自己被误解，也对老师感到失望。他心想：“如果连老师都不愿意回答，那我问这些问题还有什么意义？”

小豪决定不再上课。他待在家里，心里充满疑问，却找不到出口。一天，他无意中翻开圣经，读到了哈巴谷书 2:4：“惟有义人因信得生。”这句话深深触动了他。他又继续读到 3:17-18，看到先知哈巴谷在困境中仍然选择信靠神，心里忽然明白了——有些问题，神不会立刻回答，而是让人用信心去等待、去体会。

小豪回到了学校，走到张老师面前，低声问：“老师，您为什么有时回答，有时却沉默？”

张老师微笑着说：“因为答案有时是需要自己去寻找的。如果我告诉你一切，那你只是得到知识；但如果你自己去思考、去经历，你就会得到智慧。”

小豪愣住了，随即点点头，眼里闪烁着明白的光芒。

从那天起，班上的同学们也开始理解张老师的用意。他们不再害怕问题，没有立刻的答案也不急躁，而是学会了等待、思考和聆听。

结论：信心的耳朵，听见神的声音

哈巴谷书提醒我们，神并不责怪我们的疑问，而是希望我们以信心追寻真理，学习聆听祂在我们心里轻声的回应。张老师的沉默，就像神有时让我们在生活的挑战中寻找答案，而不是立刻给出解释。

我们的人生中，也会有许多问题暂时没有答案，但即便无花果树不结果，葡萄树不发芽，我们仍要因神而喜乐（哈巴谷书 3:17-18）。因为，正是在信心的等待和思考中，我们才能真正成长，听见神在我们生命中的声音。

The Answer in Silence—A Journey of Faithful Listening

Date: 21/3/25

Scriptures:
“The righteous shall live by faith.” (Habakkuk 2:4)
“Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior.” (Habakkuk 3:17-18)

Story: Misunderstanding and the Growth of Faith

In a school, there was a boy named Xiao Hao. He was a deep thinker, always asking questions beyond his age. Sometimes, his questions were so sharp that they were difficult to answer, making his classmates feel as though he was challenging the teacher. Whispers would spread in the classroom: “Why is Xiao Hao so rude? How dare he question the teacher?”

But Mr. Zhang, the teacher, never rebuked Xiao Hao. Instead, he appreciated the boy’s curiosity. At times, he patiently answered Xiao Hao’s questions with vivid examples to help the class understand. Other times, he chose silence, offering only a gentle smile and saying, “Think about it yourselves. The answer may already be in your hearts.”

However, the teacher’s silence puzzled many students. Rumors began circulating: “Maybe even the teacher doesn’t know the answer and is just pretending to be wise?” Over time, Xiao Hao felt more and more isolated, and even Mr. Zhang became the subject of doubt.

One day, overwhelmed by frustration, Xiao Hao ran out of the classroom, tears welling up in his eyes. He felt misunderstood and disappointed in his teacher. “If even the teacher won’t answer, what’s the point of asking?” he thought bitterly.

Xiao Hao decided to stop attending class. He stayed home, his heart filled with questions but no answers. One day, he happened to open the Bible and read Habakkuk 2:4: “The righteous shall live by faith.” The words struck him deeply. He continued reading until he reached 3:17-18, where the prophet Habakkuk chose to trust in God even in the midst of hardships. Suddenly, Xiao Hao understood—some questions are not answered immediately. Instead, God allows people to wait in faith and seek understanding over time.

With renewed insight, Xiao Hao returned to school. He walked up to Mr. Zhang and softly asked, “Teacher, why do you sometimes answer and sometimes remain silent?”

Mr. Zhang smiled and said, “Because some answers must be found on your own. If I tell you everything, you will gain only knowledge. But if you think, experience, and seek for yourself, you will gain wisdom.”

Xiao Hao was stunned for a moment, then nodded, his eyes shining with newfound understanding.

From that day on, his classmates also began to grasp the teacher’s intent. They no longer feared asking questions. Even when answers were not immediate, they learned to wait, reflect, and listen.

Conclusion: Ears of Faith Hear God’s Voice

The book of Habakkuk reminds us that God does not condemn our questions but invites us to seek the truth in faith, listening for His quiet responses in our hearts. Just as Mr. Zhang sometimes remained silent, God often allows us to find answers through life’s challenges rather than providing immediate explanations.

In our lives, we will face many unanswered questions. But even if the fig tree does not bud, even if the vines bear no fruit, we can still rejoice in the Lord (Habakkuk 3:17-18). For it is in the waiting, the seeking, and the faithful listening that we truly grow—and hear God’s voice in our lives.
