你尽力做你能做的事，上帝就会做其它的事！
上帝要求我们去做我们能做的一切，然后他就会做我们所不能做的事情！当耶稣使拿撒路从死中复活时，他对那些人说：“你们把石头挪开！”（约11:39）他本来是能使拿撒路穿石而出的，但他为什么让人们先把石头挪开呢？把石头从坟墓门口挪开，是他们能够做到的事。虽然他们不能使他从死中复活，但却能把石头挪开！
当你自己能做到某些事情时，上帝并不总会为你去做它们！他对摩西说：“你手里拿着的是什么？”（出4:2）上帝通常会让你去做你能做的，然后他就会去做你不能做的。耶稣说：“你们寻找，就寻见；叩门，就给你们开门；祈求，就给你们。”（太7:7,8）你们若不到处寻觅的话，就不会找到任何东西！也许所有的九扇门全都关闭了，而你只能找到一扇敞开的门；这时，你是否只坐在那里说：“上主，把它显示给我吧？”不！上帝会预期你对你所祈求的事情有所行动，你要出去到处走走，找找看！
假如你知道自己在尽力取悦和服从上帝的话，他就会为你做任何事情；在这其中，有一些则是你可以想象到的、最令人惊异的事！因此，上主，请帮助我们去尽自己的本份和服从您！我们知道：您将会做其它的事情。谢谢您上主！

Do your best, and God will do the rest.
God expects us to do all we can, and then He will do what we can’t. When Jesus went to raise Lazarus from the dead, He told the people, “Take away the stone” (John 11:39). He could have made the stone roll away by itself, or He could have made Lazarus walk right through the stone, so why did they have to roll it away? Rolling the stone away from the door of the tomb was something they could do. They couldn’t raise him from the dead, but they could roll the stone away.
Jesus said we are to ask, seek, and knock. “For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened” (Matthew 7:7–8). But if you don’t look, you’re not going to find. Maybe nine out of ten doors you try are locked and you’re only going to find one open, but you’ve got to do what you can. You can’t just sit there and say, “God, reveal it to me!” God expects you to put feet to your prayers, to get out and do a little hoofing and look.
If you’re doing your best to please and obey Him, God will do almost anything for you—some of the most amazing things you could possibly imagine!
