祷告行军:从看不见,到看见荣耀(18/7/26)

今天早上,我来到新加坡邮政总局(General Post Office)旧址,并拍了邮差熊(Postman Bear)的照片。当时的时间,正好是早上 8:55。

巧合的是,今天清晨,我做了一个梦。

梦里,我穿着和这只邮差熊一样的邮差制服,肩负着送信的使命,却感到十分灰心、孤单,甚至想停下来,不再继续前行。

醒来后,这个梦一直留在我心里,也成为今天灵修分享的开始。

当我站在旧邮政总局前,看见时间停在 8:55,便查考了希腊文编号 G855。

G855 的意思是「无形的、看不见的」,在新约只出现一次:

「他们的眼睛明亮了,这才认出他来。忽然耶稣不见了。」
——路加福音 24:31

这是以马忤斯路上的故事。

两位门徒一路与复活的耶稣同行,却一直没有认出祂。直到主擘饼,他们的眼睛才被开启,认出了主。

这让我想到,我们何尝不是如此?

很多时候,我们以为主没有回应,以为祂离开了我们;其实,祂一直都在,只是我们的眼睛还没有被开启。

尤其当我们领受呼召,走在神所预备的道路上,难免会经历疲惫、灰心、孤单,甚至觉得自己被遗忘。但主从未离开,祂始终与我们同行。

8:55 也让我想到另一处经文:

「你们未曾认识他,我却认识他……但我认识他,也遵守他的道。」
——约翰福音 8:55

接着主又说:

「你们的祖宗亚伯拉罕欢欢喜喜地仰望我的日子;既看见了,就快乐。」
——約翰福音 8:56

主提醒我,真正重要的,不只是看见,更是认识祂、仰望祂,并遵行祂的话。

这也回应了今天早晨神借着希伯来书 12:1–2给我的鼓励:

「我们既有这许多的见证人,如同云彩围着我们,就当放下各样的重担……存心忍耐,奔那摆在我们前头的路程;仰望为我们信心创始成终的耶稣。」

就在那一刻,我明白了梦里的邮差所代表的意义。

邮差的职责,就是忠心把信送到指定的人手中。

无论天气晴朗还是风雨交加,无论别人是否注意,他都不会停止送信。

神也提醒我,不要因为疲惫而停下,不要因为孤单而放弃。

祂托付给我的,不是人的信息,而是祂恩典、安慰与盼望的信息。

随后,早上 9:32,我来到梦中一个名为 Breakthrough(突破) 的地方。

查考希腊文编号 G932,意思是「天国」

同时,我想到路加福音 9:32:

「彼得和他的同伴都打盹;既清醒了,就看见耶稣的荣耀,并同他站着的那两个人。」

门徒虽然疲倦,却在醒来之后,看见了主的荣耀。

从 8:55 的「看不见」,到 9:32 的「看见荣耀」,神仿佛借着今天一路上的经历对我说:

不要停留在灰心里,也不要停留在疲惫里。继续认识我,继续仰望我,你必看见我的荣耀,也必经历天国的

真实。

今天,我再次回应神给我的呼召。

我要继续做神的邮差(Postman),忠心传递祂所托付的信息,把祂的恩典、盼望和安慰送到祂要我送达的人那里。

愿我们都不凭眼见,乃凭信心前行;从看不见,到看见荣耀;继续奔跑神为我们预备的命定,直到完成祂所托

付我们的使命。

Prayer March: From Unseen to Seeing Glory

This morning, I visited the former site of Singapore’s General Post Office and took a photo of the Postman Bear. The time was exactly 8:55 a.m.

Coincidentally, I had a dream earlier this morning.

In the dream, I was wearing a postman’s uniform just like the Postman Bear, carrying the mission of delivering letters. Yet I felt discouraged, lonely, and even wanted to stop and give up.

After waking up, the dream lingered in my heart and became the beginning of today’s devotional reflection.

As I stood in front of the old General Post Office and saw the time frozen at 8:55, I looked up the Greek number G855.

G855 means “invisible, unseen”, and it appears only once in the New Testament:

“Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Him, and He disappeared from their sight.”
— Luke 24:31

This is the story of the road to Emmaus.

Two disciples walked with the resurrected Jesus the entire way, yet they did not recognize Him until He broke bread and their eyes were opened.

It reminded me that we are often the same.

Many times, we think the Lord has not responded, or that He has left us. But He has always been there — our eyes simply have not been opened yet.

Especially when we receive a calling and walk on the path God has prepared, we inevitably experience fatigue, discouragement, loneliness, and even feel forgotten. Yet the Lord never leaves; He always walks with us.

The time 8:55 also brought another verse to mind:

“You do not know Him, but I know Him… I know Him and keep His word.”
— John 8:55

Then Jesus continued:

“Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing My day; he saw it and was glad.”
— John 8:56

The Lord reminded me that what truly matters is not merely seeing, but knowing Him, looking to Him, and obeying His word.

This echoed the encouragement God gave me earlier this morning through Hebrews 12:1–2:

“Since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off every weight… and run with endurance the race set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith.”

At that moment, I understood the meaning behind the postman in my dream.

A postman’s duty is to faithfully deliver letters to their intended recipients.

Whether under clear skies or heavy rain, whether noticed or unnoticed, he does not stop delivering.

God reminded me not to stop because of fatigue, nor give up because of loneliness.

What He has entrusted to me is not human messages, but His message of grace, comfort, and hope.

Later, at 9:32 a.m., I arrived at a place called Breakthrough, which had appeared in my dream.

I looked up the Greek number G932, which means “the Kingdom of Heaven.”

At the same time, I recalled Luke 9:32:

“Peter and his companions were very sleepy, but when they became fully awake, they saw His glory and the two men standing with Him.”

Though the disciples were weary, once they awoke, they saw the glory of the Lord.

From 8:55 — the unseen, to 9:32 — seeing glory, it felt as though God was speaking through everything I experienced today:

Do not remain in discouragement, nor stay in fatigue.
Continue to know Me, continue to look to Me, and you will see My glory and experience the reality of My Kingdom.

Today, I once again respond to God’s calling.

I will continue to be His Postman — faithfully delivering the message He has entrusted to me, bringing His grace, hope, and comfort to those He sends me to.

May we walk not by sight, but by faith;
from unseen to seeing glory;
continuing to run the race God has set before us,
until we complete the mission He has entrusted to us.
