梦游圣经66本书

📍 经文：约伯记 42:3–5

⸻

一、什么让我们听不到神、看不见神？

【伯42:3】“谁用无知的言语使你的旨意隐藏呢？我所说的是我不明白的；这些事太奇妙，是我不知道的。”

在这节经文中，约伯承认了自己曾用无知的言语遮蔽了神的旨意，也就是说，他曾经自以为明白，却其实并不明白神的道路。

❌ 造成属灵“看不见”的三大根源：
1. 用自己的判断取代神的心意
—— 约伯和朋友的辩论里充满人的推理，却没有等候神启示。
2. 属灵骄傲，看似敬虔实则自义
—— 把神学知识当作真理全貌，反而拦阻了对神的敬畏与降伏。
3. 过度发声，遮盖了神的声音
—— 人说得太多，反而听不见神的回应。

⸻

二、如何走向转变的起点：谦卑聆听

【伯42:4】“求你听我，我要说话；我问你，求你指示我。”

约伯开始改变态度，从原本挑战神，转向恳求神回应。他的口气从“质问”变为“寻求”，这是一种属灵姿态的转变。

✅ 属灵突破的关键在于：
• 放下自义，承认自己不明白。
• 停止争辩，开始安静。
• 转向神说：“求你指示我。”

⸻

三、经历神的结果：从风闻到亲见

【伯42:5】“我从前风闻有你，现在亲眼看见你。”

这节经文是整卷《约伯记》的高峰与转折。约伯进入了一个全新的属灵境界：他不只是“知道神”，而是“遇见神”。

🔥 “风闻”与“亲见”的差别：
• 风闻：听来的知识、二手的信仰。
• 亲见：真实的经历、生命的交汇。

⸻

四、我们如何走上这条属灵之路？
1. 承认无知与有限，不再靠自己解释神的道路。
2. 谦卑下来，停止控诉，愿意安静听神。
3. 祷告中求神亲自启示：主啊，求你指示我。
4. 在苦难、低谷中寻找神的作为——亲身经历祂的信实、怜悯、主权。

⸻

🕊️ 结语祷告：

主啊，我常常凭自己的判断来解读你，却不肯等候你的启示。

我承认：我说了太多不明白的话，求你赦免我，用你的真理光照我。

主啊，我不想停留在“风闻有你”的阶段，求你带我进入“亲眼见你”的经历。
在我人生的风暴中，让我看见你的手、听见你的声、感受到你的爱。

奉主耶稣基督的名祷告，阿们。

📖 From Hearing About to Seeing God: The Path to Breaking Spiritual Blindness
📅 Date: July 14, 2025
📍 Scripture: Job 42:3–5

⸻

1. What Keeps Us from Hearing and Seeing God?

Job 42:3

“You asked, ‘Who is this that obscures my plans without knowledge?’ Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know.”

In this verse, Job confesses that he had spoken ignorantly and unknowingly clouded God’s purposes. He realizes that he thought he understood, but in truth, he didn’t comprehend God’s ways.

❌ Three major roots of spiritual “blindness”:
1. Replacing God’s will with our own reasoning
– Job and his friends filled their debates with human logic but did not wait for divine revelation.
2. Spiritual pride: a form of self-righteous religiosity
– Treating theological knowledge as the full truth, yet lacking true reverence and surrender to God.
3. Excessive talking drowns out God’s voice
– When people speak too much, they often can’t hear God’s quiet reply.

⸻

2. The Turning Point: Humble Listening

Job 42:4

“You said, ‘Listen now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you shall answer me.’”

Job shifts his attitude—from challenging God to humbly pleading for His response. His tone changes from demanding to seeking. This is a significant change in spiritual posture.

✅ Key to spiritual breakthrough:
• Lay down self-righteousness; admit our lack of understanding.
• Stop arguing; become still.
• Turn to God and say, “Please teach me.”

⸻

3. The Outcome: From Hearing to Seeing

Job 42:5

“My ears had heard of you, but now my eyes have seen you.”

This is the climax and turning point of the entire book of Job. He enters a new spiritual realm: not just knowing about God, but encountering God.

🔥 The difference between “hearing” and “seeing”:
• Hearing: Secondhand knowledge, inherited faith.
• Seeing: Personal encounter, life-altering experience.

⸻

4. How Can We Walk This Spiritual Path?
   1. Acknowledge our ignorance and stop trying to explain God on our own.
   2. Humble ourselves, stop accusing, and choose to be still before Him.
   3. In prayer, ask God to reveal Himself: “Lord, please show me.”
   4. In suffering or valleys, look for God’s hand—experience His faithfulness, mercy, and sovereignty firsthand.

🕊️ Closing Prayer:

Lord, I often interpret You with my own limited understanding, refusing to wait for Your revelation.
I confess: I have spoken many words without knowledge. Please forgive me, and shine Your truth into my heart.

Lord, I don’t want to remain at the stage of merely hearing about You. Lead me into the reality of seeing You.
In the storms of my life, let me see Your hand, hear Your voice, and feel Your love.

In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen.
