  “天将晚,以撒出来在田间默想。”(圣经创世纪二十四章63节)
我们若有更多单独的时间,就必有更多属灵的长进﹔我们若少尝试
,多退修,就必有更大工作的果效。我们常以为不做事是懒惰、是羞耻
,所以我们喜欢跑来跑去瞎忙。其实,默想的时候,与神谈话的时间,
举目望天的时间,是对我们最有益的时间。这种时间从不会“太多”的

或说:默想是心灵的休息,让我们常常给心灵可以休息的机会,那
时任何有形的工作都要暂时停止,只是静静地躺下,仰望着星宿,好像
基甸的羊群那样,在神面前展开身体,接受天降的甘露,我们亦要有间
歇的时间,不工作,不计算,躺在大自然的怀抱里,好好的安息。
  这种时间绝对不是虚耗。渔夫坐下补网,你能不能说他虚耗时间呢
?割草者坐下磨刀,你能不能说他虚耗时间呢?我们应该常学以撒的样
,从沈闷的生活中出来,到田间去默想。我们所过的是热闹的生活、喧
噪的生活、忙录的生活,能常与大自然接触的话,的确是一件非常痛快
的事情。田间散步,海边闲游,能使我们心中充满新的喜乐和盼望。

“你当走的路甚远。”(圣经列王纪上十九章 7 节)
  神怎样对待祂疲乏的仆人?给他好东西吃,给他甜蜜睡眠。以利亚
曾行了奇妙的神蹟,曾奔在亚哈的车子前头,所以他的身体非常疲惫;
疲惫的反应就是受压。
在这里我们看见:身体的保重是必需的。今天许多神的仆人所缺乏
的都是睡眠和调养。有许多属灵的伟人都像以利亚一般 ── 在罗腾树
下求死!啊,听哪,这声调何等甘甜 ──“起来吃罢,因为你当走的
路甚远。”
── 选
"I'm too tired to trust and too tired to pray,
Said one, as the over-taxed strength gave way.
The one conscious thought by my mind possessed,
Is, oh, could I just drop it all and rest.
"Will God forgive me, do you suppose,
If I go right to sleep as a baby goes,
Without an asking if I may,
Without ever trying to trust and pray?
"Will God forgive you? why think, dear heart,
When language to you was an unknown art,
Did a mother deny you needed rest,
Or refuse to pillow your head on her breast?
"Did she let you want when you could not ask?
Did she set her child an unequal task?
Or did she cradle you in her arms,
And then guard your slumber against alarms?
"Ah, how quick was her mother love to see,
The unconscious yearnings of infancy.
When you've grown too tired to trust and pray,
When over-wrought nature has quite given way:
"Then just drop it all, and give up to rest,
As you used to do on a mother's breast,
He knows all about it
